Chapter Sixteen: Seizing Fates

Rashida frowned deeply as she bent down to look at her crops. Most of the crops that were going to be harvested were ready, except for her rice paddies. She had brought rice to the village after some tough negotiations with traders who traveled through Egypt. What annoyed her was that the land was disturbed, hoof prints were everywhere, and the tender young rice was bitten off.

She had only recently returned to Safirinnsjø, the new capital of the Kingdom of Denmark. Henrik was now king, the undisputed King of Denmark, and everyone knew it. At first, no one knew what to do, but the gods had spoken. They had chosen Henrik, so none shall dispute it.

Not long after they had returned, Alrik and Ingrid had to leave for the spring season as Ingrid had to look over her own village. But before he had left, Alrik gripped her tight and looked into her eyes. He promised her that he would return in the fall and would spend the fall season with her, and when he returned, he would have her in his bed.

Rashida sighed softly as she bent down to once again heal her crops. She needed them to be strong, she needed them to yield a good harvest in the fall, but she also had to figure out what animals were eating them. It was a hooved animal she knew, but every time she tried to see what it was, it would disappear. She wasn’t going to stop until she figured out what was doing this.

As the days turned into weeks and weeks into months, the harvest came with full abundance. The goddess Freyja had accepted their sacrifices, and as fall came, the excitement within Rashida grew. Alrik would be coming soon. She could sense it on the winds. She knew that he would keep his word. She knew that not a force in this world would stop him in claiming her as his own.

✯✯✯✯✯✯✯

Alrik spurred his horse harder as they galloped over the fields, his mind locked onto one person and one person only: Rashida. He was going to claim her tonight. Tonight was the Harvest Festival, and while he knew that she would be in the center of attention, at the end of it all, she was going to be in his bed and he couldn’t wait. Finally, they would join as one.

Ingrid had decided to stay in Nytt Hjem, to watch over their new village while he made this journey on his own. He knew that the road was dangerous, but he also knew that nothing was going to stop him from reaching his beloved.

As he reached Safirinnsjø, he saw that the Harvest Festival was just beginning. He put his horse into his father’s stables before he quickly changed into some fresh clothes, and then went to locate Rashida.

The sound of music stopped him, as they played a beat he had never heard before. There also was a strange airy noise. A stringed instrument played and there was a strange clattering of something.
