MacKay could barely see through the snow, but he knew his wife had to be here somewhere. He found her horse and followed her tracks in the snow that led to a cave. There were the tracks of two people, not just one. Both looked to be the feet of women since they were smaller than a man’s footprints.

Still, he couldn’t be sure of anything in his state. This could be naught but a trap for all he knew. He slowly slid his sword from the scabbard, holding it in front of him as he made his way to the cave. Besides the stream of light in the entranceway, it was dark inside. He was sure he heard someone breathing. He stepped into the cave. From the corner of his eye, he saw a figure slip out of the shadows heading for the door. He spun around and found himself holding the tip of his sword to Eira’s throat.

“Wife!” he said. “Who is here with you?”

“I’m by myself,” she spat. Her hand came up and knocked his blade away. “Put that thing away before I pull my blade on you in return.”

“I apologize, my sweet queen. My mistake.” MacKay slid the sword back into the scabbard. “Why are you here? Were you trying to get away from me, or were you meeting a secret lover?” he asked, thinking about the second set of footprints.

“If you consider an old woman my lover then you are even dafter than I thought.”

“Old woman?” By the way his scar started throbbing, he knew exactly who she meant. “Hecuba,” he ground out. “Where is she? I need to have a word with her.”

“She’s gone,” said Eira. “Tell me, how do you know her?”

MacKay took a moment for his eyes to get accustomed to the dark. Looking around the cave, he decided Eira told the truth that Hecuba was no longer there.

“I don’t know why you are meeting in secret with that witch, but I forbid you to talk to her again.”

“Forbid me?” Eira laughed. “As if you could stop me from doing anything. I am Queen of Skol Island. Even if you are my husband, you will not tell me what to do or what not to do again.”

“If you want my help leading your army when Ailbert arrives, then let me give you some sound advice. Nothing good can come from being friends with that witch.”

“I don’t believe in witches,” she sniffed.

“No? Then you’d better change your belief.” He picked up the end of his tunic and showed her his scar. “This is what happens from trying to fight her. Because of Hecuba, I have been cursed.”

“Isn’t that my tunic?” she asked.

“Forget the tunic, I am showing you evidence that Hecuba is no good and not to be trusted.”

“Stop it, that is nonsense.” She walked past him toward the opening of the cave. His hand shot out, and he pulled her back.

“It is not nonsense. I warn you, don’t have anything to do with that witch or you will be sorry.
