both be gone, she was delivered into Eirik’s capable care. She

didn’t mind. Sky was growing very fond of Eirik’s wife and their

children. Katla, Eirik’s wife and she had become fast friends. Sky

had never had a female friend who had grown as close as a sister

could. No doubt Eirik saw that. As leader, he was more than

capable of adding a second wife to his family. Not a day went by

when Brandr didn’t complain Eirik had tried to purchase her or

trade for her. The thought made her chuckle, just thinking of

Brandr’s reaction. She often wondered if Eirik did it just to rile

him.

A howl of despair reached her ears and Sky spun about to see

Katla, carrying the limp body of her four-year-old son onto the

riverbank. He was dripping wet and wasn’t moving. Katla dropped

to her knees, screaming, the boy clutched to her breasts. Sky raced

to them as well as everyone else. It became apparent immediately

Katla had lost sight of him in the fast-flowing current for a few

moments and he had gone under water.

Sky dropped to her knees before her friend. She was

horrified—the poor boy, his poor mother. Instinctively, she

touched her fingers to the unmoving child’s throat. There was a

pulse! There was still a chance! With her revelation, she tried to

yank the boy from his mother, but Katla refused to part with him.

“He is gone; let his mother grieve,” Rolf said sadly.

“He’s not gone,” Sky insisted wide-eyed, her heart pounding

madly within her breast. “I have a pulse.” But the word she used

was foreign to them all. “Katla, please.”

Sky determinedly yanked the boy from his mother and laid

him flat. She tilted his head back, pinched his nose and puffed two

breaths of air into the boy’s mouth. His chest didn’t expand. She

dipped her baby finger into his mouth down his throat, exploring

with caution, and fished out a small rock that was obstructing his

breathing. Again she blew into his mouth. His little chest rose and

fell with each breath, until finallyhe coughed.
