The midday sun beats down on the clearing where Thorfinn and Einar hack at the final tree. Sweat slicks their bare chests, muscles corded with effort. Through the dust, a figure approaches—Ketil’s adopted daughter, pale as ice, with hair like spun gold and eyes of glacial blue. She carries a skin of fresh spring water, her presence a cool balm in the heat. Thorfinn pauses, axe resting on his shoulder, brown eyes locking onto hers. The forest falls silent, save for the drip of sweat and the distant caw of a raven.
