Chapitre 172: CLXXII. The Brotherly Love

"When we left Mount Torden, our first destination was another, before Hevnen. We went to Tyven. Not really in the village, but on a mountain nearby" Dag said, thinking about how to make the story he was about to tell more believable.

"Dag... this deer... it's incredibly similar to..." tried to say Gridd, before being interrupted.

"After learning the truth about Brann, I ran to Jernhest and spoke to our mother, who confirmed to me what I knew and talked to me about the sacrifice of Eirik, her beloved's brother. I took the Red Executioner and brought it along all the way, protecting it at the cost of my life. As I mentioned before, Brann got that weapon from a man a little... 'particular'. His name is Vegard, and he is a divine blacksmith, who has embedded Eirik's soul within those two red crystals that shine within the deer's eyes".

Gridd held the head between her hands, touching her hair, incredulous.
