The walk to Dale was proving to be longer than she thought. Tracking behind Tilda, she brushed her daughter’s braid off of her shoulder. Much longer for children and their wounded. Snow was setting and it was getting colder and colder. 

“ Are you doing alright, darling? ” Sigrun ran her fingers over Tilda’s head. “ I can carry you.

Her side burned. 

She wasn’t sure if the blade the Orc had stabbed her with was poisoned or not. Sigrun tried to her best to smile, placing a hand on Sigrid shoulder and pushing her towards her younger siblings. The battle was still raging on and while the women had decided to join the fight-

                           ‘ I say we stand with our men in life - and in death

-she had done her best to guard the Great Hall. The Orc - ugly thing, snarling with his black teeth and black gums - had come for her from behind. Stabbed her in her side as she fired arrows at the others. 

She’d gotten him, in the end. Right through the head with one of her daggers. 

I’m fine, darling. What are you doing out of the Great Hall? Hilda and the other women are one thing, but you three need to get back in.

The pain in her side was starting to be too much, but her fear for her children was too great.

Kindness is often mistaken for softness and let me tell you, friends….that is a mistake you don’t want to make. 

Kind people are not born that way, they do not stumble into it, kind people are forged in fire and darkness and imploding stars…they have steel cores. Throw a punch and you’re going to break your hand. 

Kind people are kind because they know firsthand that life isn’t.
