Ludo kept turning around, wondering if Sigurd had managed to escape.

Perhaps he was following them?

It felt wrong to leave his best friend behind. More than wrong. It hurt his heart. Sigurd was like a brother.

He didn’t want to abandon him.

Riding on Ludo’s right, Vik didn’t know what to say. The weather was grim and cold, a stiff breeze chilling them slowly as they rode across the field. They were alert, conscious of being exposed, so far away from the shelter offered by trees, worried about who might be following them. Though, so far, they’d spotted nothing but a few squirrels.

Eddeth was riding with Jonas and Ollo, Stina behind them with Aldo. The rest of the crew were further back, all of them quietly suffering the wind’s bitter onslaught.

Eddeth sneezed suddenly, turning around to Vik, eyes bulging. ‘Stop!’ she bellowed.

Stina bit her lip in surprise, wishing Eddeth wasn’t always so loud.

‘What?’ Vik nudged his horse forward. ‘What is it?’

‘Someone’s out there!’ Eddeth yelled, then shaking her head, she lowered her voice to a whisper. ‘Someone’s coming.’

Ollo looked disturbed. ‘Who?’

Eddeth closed her eyes, realising that she had merely blurted out her ominous feelings. She needed to dig back into her vision and find something tangible.

They watched in silence as Eddeth’s face made all sorts of strange shapes.

‘The man who took Lotta!’ she said suddenly, eyes wide again. ‘He’s coming!’

‘What? Here?’

Heads swivelled, scanning the snowy field.

‘I don’t know!’

‘With Lotta?’

Eddeth squeezed her eyes shut again, ignoring the inquisitive faces and her own sudden need to piss. ‘He’s leading an army! I see long lines of men on horses. Men marching. Horses and reindeer and oxen!’

No one spoke.

Eyes still closed, Eddeth searched for more.

She could see the man with the long beard riding in silence, concentrating hard, barely nodding at the dark-haired man who rode beside him.

Ulrick Dyre, Vik had said.

Ulrick Dyre, Eddeth mused, watching him.

And then she was in a hall, and a little girl with long blonde hair was screaming at Ulrick to save her. Eddeth blinked, seeing the woman who had hold of the girl’s hand.

Her face...

She looked just like Alys.

Ulrick was speaking. Eddeth tried to listen, wanting to hear what they were saying, though everything was muffled, lost beneath the noise of the crying girl.

Eddeth could feel her pain. She could feel Ulrick’s too.

And eyes blinking open, she spun around to Jonas. ‘Who is Mirella?’
