A god was cursed with knowledge.

Humans had little; a saving grace.

For burdened by so much knowledge, they would surely falter under its weight, unable to carry on. To live, knowing what existed beyond that which they could see with their own eyes? To live, knowing what was coming in the end? For an end was necessary for every creature, man and god alike.

Images came to Thenor like a waterfall teeming over a cliff. He saw glimpses of Sigurd and Ottby, of Stellan Vilander, who had been a good father to his son. He saw Valera’s Tree, a place of sacrifice and offering. And reaching a hand into the darkness, he touched a solitary leaf, red and curling, crisp in the cold, clinging to that branch as though it was clinging to life. Looking down, Thenor saw the carpet of leaves, red like blood, sprinkled with snow.

He heard a drumbeat in his ears. Familiar. The sound of his heart or the sound of time, he wasn’t sure. He thought of The Hunter, bidden to do his work. The Hunter and his shadow riders.

He could call them...

The vatyr?

He had friends to call upon. Friends and servants.

They would come.

But some things, Thenor knew, were meant to be.

Shoulders falling, he let the vision of Ottby and Sigurd go, almost pushing it away as he turned into the darkness.
