Chapter Ten

LAUREN STARED AIMLESSLY at the fire as everyone ate and drank. Matthew and Kodran returned hours ago only for Kodran to leave again. Kol decided it was best not to have his immediate kin all in one location and wanted his ailing brother better protected, so he sent his youngest son to help defend the Fortress. When Matthew reminded their uncle that Kodran may not be who they thought he was, Kol shook his head. He remained confident that Kodran was without question his son. His dragon would know if he was not.

Meanwhile, Bjorn and Svala’s older sister, Meyla had joined them. As foretold, she had suffered grievously at Hallstein’s hand. She lost an arm and bore a deep scar that zig-zagged down her throat and chest. Nonetheless, there was no missing how strong she was. In her early forties, Meyla was not only beautiful but clearly a warrior who seemed to be adjusting to her condition without complaint. According to Sam, Meyla had slept with the infamous Adlin MacLomain and bore the child who started the direct lineage to the time traveling Scottish MacLomains.

Yet it was Meyla’s husband, Valan, Lauren thought about as her eyes lingered on the fire. How he remained in a trance trying to reach out to their long-lost daughter. How separated Meyla must feel from him as he desperately sought out their child. She could relate to that sense of separation but not because of a child. No, because of something else entirely.

A man.

Tait.

And she could not pinpoint why.

When he held the Gungnir to her throat, something changed. Something she still did not completely understand but gave her a clear and heart-wrenching sense of loss…of desperation. Whatever that feeling was, it was connected to her gut reaction that history was about to repeat itself and she had explained as much to everyone.

As the story went, the Gungnir blade was created by Näv and her alternate self to help Bjorn’s and Sam’s dragon’s come together. Nothing more. It wasn’t made by Loki for Odin and held no ominous meaning in the end. Yet here it was a part of something again. The very blade Eluf handed her sister in another life. One that had found its way back to Lauren. How was that possible? Nobody had an answer. Sam had summoned Näv hoping for a better explanation, but that didn’t mean the seer would come right away.

So the conversation had moved on. Yet she had trouble following anything but the wayward confusion of her thoughts. The need to better understand something she suspected her dragon already knew.

Only when Tait’s hand slid into hers, and he murmured, “We should try to get some rest,” did she realize everyone had already left.

“Yes, of course,” she agreed and followed him, still lost in thought until they entered a large cave several hundred feet off the main one. The feeling of familiarity she had when she walked in was so strong that she stopped short and put a hand over her mouth.
