Skælingr hated to disturb his wife on nights when he struggled to sleep. She looked so peaceful curled up next to him but try as he might his thoughts would not quiet enough to let him rest. Rather than stay awake while anxiety started to creep in he decided to go for a walk. Skælingr carefully pulled away from Ragna, making sure not to disturb her before he left the den. It was a hot summer night even though they'd gone north to the Mile-High Woods. It seemed like the heat had followed them but he was hopefully that the coming week would be cooler. They were just north of the battlefield so Skælingr headed south. He was skeptical that he could find an opponent but it was still worth a try. Either way he'd get some exercise with the walk and if he did get an opponent the fight would be the release that he needed to maybe get some sleep. Skælingr arrived at the battlefield an hour or so after midnight. It was a new moon and the sky was vast and dark except for the stars. Thousands upon thousands twinkled and sparkled above him and as he watched the night sky he saw one streak across the horizon. Skælingr remembered wishing on falling stars as a pup but it wasn't a practice he did much anymore. Hopefully, the star would be a sign of good luck for him on the Battlefield but it certainly wasn't guaranteed. Anyone could have seen the star. Skælingr found a nice clearing and let out a call for an opponent. "Speech" |
