Jack was surprised at how easily she gave in and he looked at her “Really?” He stood up and walked down “Then you and I have a lot to talk about. First.. your men need to leave. We cant ride a boat to the sea. But your dragon might be able to pull them to the edge of the ice… But your men need to take an oath not to tell anyone about this place. We dont want dragon hunters to find this place.”
He nudged his head and the guards lifted her to her feet “Do you agree to my terms?” His face had gone serious and his features was pale and cold. Jack had not been a ruler for long, but he was a pretty strong one at that.
She watched as Stormfly took off after her signal and as the disappeared into the fog Astrid frowned.
But the frown soon turned to aggravation at The Chiefs orders. She looked at the guard who was to guide her, “lay a hand on me I will personally handle you. And leave the left overs to my dragon” she said to him. She watched as the white haired man walked away and she turned her attention away from him.
The general walked beside her “follow me, the cheif wants you in the great house with him”
She and the guard took her to the biggest longhouse in the village. At the stairs to the second floor the guard stopped and the general lead astrid up to the next floor
“only the cheifs closest is allowed up here, not sure why he wants you to stay here and not in the dungions.. but i never question him.. here we are” The woman stopped at a big wooden door and unlocked it “this is your room, for now you will stay here, earn the Cheifs trust and you may be allowed to come and go as you please”
The room was big and beautifully decorated with wood csrvings and animal skins. There were also a big bed at one edge and a window with a space to sit. as well as a fire place and furniture
“there are clean clothes in the closet if you want to fresh up” The woman said and closed the door behind the other woman.
Astrid rolled her eyes at her comment, “Why are you envious?” She asked with a smirk. As they entered the room she tried to hide her awe for the space for which she’d be calling home.
But before Astrid could say anything more the door behind her was shut and Astrid went to it to test the handle to find it locked. “Well she wasn’t exaggerating on the earning his trust” she mumbled to herself. Though she did decide to clean up after the long flight and the cell and everything else that’s happened today.
