Loving the Prince of Darkness

I hung from one of the lower branches, watching Eirikur struggle to grasp the first branch. A smugness puffed up my chest. I’d been climbing this tree as long as I could remember and it’s stood here long before I was born. 


I believed the roots of the Ancient Alder tree stretched beneath the entire kingdom. The one constant between elf to elf. This tree connected us all. And the sights at the pinnacle of it…breathtaking. 


Whenever I climbed it before, I wanted to be alone. Indulge in the serenity of being so far away from all my problems. And for some reason, I wanted to share it with Erik. This tree was my secret place, not even Dot would join me. 


But, for the first time since I’d known him, he wasn’t being cruel or snide. He wasn’t actively trying to make me uncomfortable. He had shared a part of his culture with me, and I wanted to do the same. 


It was an intimate gesture I didn’t want to waste.
