DRESSED IN FURS AND LEATHERS HE EMERGES FROM THE TREELINE, SMOKE FROM FIRES RISING INTO THE SKY FURTHER AWAY FROM THE SHORE. & with no mind for the wind that slices at exposed skin, ivar narrows his eyes as if the sunlight glaring off the snow blinds him. ‘ hver ertu ? ’ upon receiving no name but only a growl in return, ivar begins to understand that they do not speak his tongue and must have sailed from the mainland. is their arrival an accident, or intention ? ‘ that loyal friend of yours— it’s a direwolf ? we do not have those on skagos but we believe in a monstrous wolf, fenrisúlfr, who will devour the sun when the world ends. i am rather hoping it’s not today. ’ he huffs a laugh, wide - eyed & with a manic shine, before reaching down to one of his iron - wrought braces around his legs to turn back to the treeline, supporting his weight with the crutch. ‘ i am tired of standing around. if you favor some warmth and maybe something to eat, we might as well go back to the village. ’
𝐀 𝐖𝐎𝐋𝐅 𝐂𝐀𝐏𝐀𝐁𝐋𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐒𝐖𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐎𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐔𝐍𝐒... such a creature slumbers not within the great blackened beast behind the child, but rather within the boy’s own chest; eyes a glacial tundra containing more than just the vicious winds of a winter storm, growl building within his throat more a vow than a threat. man kind had created a monstrous little thing out of one of their own young / created a wolf from a little boy and dared to call it kin. catching a dull glint of sunlight from the steel of the man’s braces, the child— more beast than boy— hesitates no longer. ah, there was a time when rickon had seen similar braces upon his brother’s own legs, allowing the male to ride his horse... and it was those times where rickon was suddenly transported in his minds eye; beast racing after boy, as the child dashes leaps and bounds across the span of the forest that separated rickon from the stranger before him... a name, as dead as his own, lingering ‘pon the back of rickon’s tongue “ bran “. princeling, heir to the throne, the only family he had left!
