Chapter 4 – Song Under Fire
After mud and blood, the herd breathes.
Laughter is born among embers.
Bard Kjell’s music dances like smoke, bringing warmth to war-hardened hearts.
Sigra sings. Bjorn laughs. Kjell provokes.
And in the shadows, Eirik watches.
Even the songs fail to move the Wolf…
but a glance from Sigra does leave a crack.
The bonfire illuminates more than just faces:
memories, desires, humanity.
And while everyone celebrates,
the Wolf turns around,
with a smile that is not quite a smile…
but which is not indifference.
