Tristan

I stared at the doors to the king’s audience chamber, my hands curled to fists.

“You did well, commander,” Gaul’s voice snaked around me. “Now run along, back to your post.”

The king’s sentinel stood behind me with two large Berserkers. I recognized them, but they were not my own. The madness had taken their minds long ago, but they obeyed Gaul.

I wondered how many in my own ranks were like these dumb servants, and how long it would take to fight them.

“Did you hear me, commander? You’re dismissed.”

I stared at him for a moment. I could not explain that I had to wait to see if the woman I loved would return. But I would not be driven from my post like a dog.

“Your duty to the king is over,” he said, and it was. I served the king no longer.

I served Yseult.

“Commander?” Magnus rumbled at my back. He and Ivar and Lars waited for my orders. They would fight alongside me. They loved our lady as much as I did.

“Come. I wish to speak to you,” I said and started to march away. Gaul snickered as I passed.

I turned and drove my fist into his face. He snapped back, bouncing off the impassive Berserker slaves, and fell to the ground. I left him there and led my men to the shadows.

“Well done,” Lars grinned. “I have wanted to do that for a long time.”

Magnus chuckled, but Ivar looked worried.

“Tristan… Commander, have care. There are many who follow him.”

“How many?” I asked. “Can you find out?”

Eyes wide with surprise, Ivar nodded.

“The wind is turning,” I murmured. “We must be ready.”

“We will be,” Magnus said. “It will be our pleasure to serve our lady.” He put his fist to his chest in salute. Ivar and Lars followed suit.

“Our lady,” I echoed, and did the same. We would fight for her. We would die for her.

“You will watch, and watch, and heed my command,” I cautioned.

“Commander,” they agreed. Ivar and Lars left. Magnus and I turned to wait for our lady’s return.

I hoped she pleased the king, so she would not die. But more than that I wished to claim her as my own.

If she survived, I would send her away. To the corners of the earth, or beyond. I would not let her stay.

Even if it cost my life.
