Rikard hurried over as he saw Kaia land. "Are you okay? What's happened?"

She laughed sheepishly, smoothing down her hair. "We sort of... crashed. We were too busy talking to each other to even notice but I guess that was a bad move on my part, especially because I know that Astor likes to go fast."

He shook his head. "You're such an idiot. It's a miracle you managed to get this far, honestly."

Kaia quickly rebraided her hair, pouting as she did so. "Ehh, it's not going to happen again. Anyway, didn't you say that I was a trusted adviser? I can't be that much of an idiot because you seem to have faith in my decisions- ah, hold that thought. Wouldn't that make you an idiot too?"

His brow furrowed. "You think way too much. Anyway, are you ready for the ceremony? It's only a few hours away, and everything needs to be perfect."

"You need to relax a little, Chief," she nodded at him, walking backwards in the general direction of their house. "I'll just go home and change and everything will be fine."

"I think you're right," he sighed. "It's just that the last ceremony didn't exactly go to plan, and I don't want to ruin it for Evalda. It wouldn't be fair."

She saluted him, winking. "It's going to go fine, Rikard. I think we all learnt our lesson from last time."

Rikard snorted. "I really hope so. The ale is too hard to make for it to mysteriously vanish again like last time."

She laughed nervously, stumbling slightly before Astor pushed her back on her feet. "Actually about that... You don't need to know the details." Kaia smiled at him before spinning around and sprinting away.

He frowned, her words sinking in, and swore. "Kaia!"

"See you at the ceremony, chief!" She waved a hand as she turned a corner and quickly disappeared from view.

He rolled his eyes, handing back to his house to prepare for the ceremony. In the centre of the village, preparations for the evening were well underway and a long table was being dragged aside for the banquet.

Evalda pulled on her beast furs and armor, wincing as the tough material slid over the cuts on her stomach. Still, she had to look perfect. She had to look like a real Viking now, because it was the moment that she had been waiting for her entire life. Among other reasons.

Rikard glanced out of his window, observing the preparations. It was turning to dusk outside, and an elderly Viking was going around the village centre with his dragon, lighting each torch. He fastened the shoulder plate of his armour, grabbing the ceremonial fur cloak and helmet.

Evalda took a moment to stare at herself in a mirror. As a child, she imagined that she'd look big and powerful the day of her ceremony, that she'd fill out her bulky frame and have flowing, beautiful hair. In reality, she only looked sick and helpless, somehow small in her armor despite her body's shape. Her hair was lanky and still slightly red with dried blood. The scars still hadn't healed, and were covered in bandage, obscuring part of her face.

The Chief took a breath, looking at his reflection and going over the words for the ceremony in his head. He couldn't afford to mess it up, not for Evalda. He slid his sword into the scabbard at his belt and headed out into the village centre, glad to see most of the other Vikings beginning to gather there.

Evalda slowly made her way out, lowering the helmet over her hair. She staggered a bit, but steadied herself of a wall, taking a breath.

He approached her, concern creasing his brow briefly until he realised that she was unlikely to appreciate his lack of faith. "Are you sure you're okay to go ahead with this?"

"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine." She struggled to her feet, stumbling slightly and praying to keep her balance. She could hardly fall in front of Rikard, of all people. "I'll be fine for tonight."
