Next day, Hefnir declared that he would announce the new feast at the mead hall, so Bera said she and Egill would plan what should happen. She collected Egill from the boatyard and took her to a small cove beside it. Huge rocks had tumbled into the sea so long ago that stunted trees grew in the crevices between them. It was very private and there was a large flat rock, perfect for sitting.

‘I think Thorvald is plotting something with the Serpent King,’ Bera said.

‘To kill Hefnir?’

‘Of course not. I have to deal with him soon but he’s especially on guard. He even suspects you.’

‘So use poison.’

The word made Bera recoil, although the idea kept tempting her. ‘What if I use it and lose all my powers because I’ve abused them?’

‘Fate made you mix those plants.’

And Fate had sent her a partner in Egill. ‘I’ll do it straight after the new festival, which will be at the next full moon.’

‘Best for plant potency.’

‘And he’ll also be drunk. I want you with your wits about you.’

Egill looked sulky. ‘Want some fun.’

‘You can have fun but, listen, we need to purify them...’ She outlined her plans, using fire to cleanse, as it did dead bodies.
