Be Aware that you have failed.
You have failed a quest:
Save Skeld
Skeld died
Penalty for failure (or refusal): Loss of Skeld. Morale penalty for healers in Coggeshall. A chance healers will decamp for other settlements
ALERT!
A member of your hirð has perished. All members of the hirð save leader gain mood debuff and have increased chance of breaking under pressure.
Chapter Thirty-Four
Skeld was dead.
My heart sank, and my vision swam. I didnât know what to do. I didnât know how to feel.
Naturally, anger came first. I wanted to hit something. My eyes focused on Nikolai, and I think he was thinking the same thing. Or, rather, I think he was thinking I wanted to hit him. Which I did.
But I didnât.
âYou couldnât have done anything even if I hadnât stopped you,â Nikolai said quickly.
âYou think thatâs why Iâm angry?â I yelled, stepping forward and getting into his personal space. I was looking nearly straight down at him. âYou think I care that you stopped me?â
âI donât know what youâre thinking right now,â he replied, âbut I do know that you need to calm down.â
I snatched the front of his tunic with one hand and lifted him up so he was eye to eye with me.
âPro tip,â I growled at him, âtelling someone to calm down never works.â
I threw him to the side, and marched back to the doors to the mountain-home. I swallowed the growing rage as best I could, making a point not to push anyone out of the way. I also didnât rip the doors off their hinges. I didnât do anything violent, despite the mounting desire. I knew it wouldnât do any good. Instead, I calmly walked into the hospital.
Ragnar was there, standing at the end of the bed. Skeld was in the bed, still. His eyes were closed, and his book lay open on his lap. I saw now that he was actually writing in it. His tiny pencil had fallen to the floor.
I put a hand on Ragnarâs shoulder.
He didnât look at me, but he nodded.
âIâm sorry,â I said.
Ragnar shook his head. âNot your fault.â
âI took him on that quest--â
âHe went on that quest with you. He went there because we both serve youââ
âI shouldnât haveââ
âStop,â Ragnar snapped. âIf you say what I know what you will, you dishonor his memory. And I know you donât want to do that.â
I just stood there.
âYou never ordered us to do a damn thing,â he continued. âEvery step weâve taken since we swore our lives to you, we took because we wanted to. Skeld could have remained here, behind these walls. He could have just done, I donât know, whatever he wanted because that was the choice you gave us. And he chose to go with you. To fight with you and for you. For this place. It is the same fucking choice Iâve made. And I know he would make it again. So donât take that choice away from him now when he canât make it again.â
It was weird to hear him talk that way, but I think I understood.
