Kaladkarenpo, 123a456e, unexpected sabotaoge, Traci and guests. Thank you again for the reviews. To the guest who was disappointed with the end of the last chapter, I hope the next one (Chapter 38) makes it up to you. It really is a important factor in Tamsin and Bo's dynamic. It's one of trust, acceptance and honesty.
Hope you all enjoy this one! There was a great deal of research to get this right!
Please review, follow and favorite! :)
For a seed to achieve its greatest expression, it must come completely undone. The shell cracks, its insides come out and everything changes. To someone who doesn't understand growth, it would look like complete destruction. -Cynthia Occelli
Tamsin had stood on the shore, contemplating what Freya had told her. Wondering how she was going to keep Bo safe from a man as powerful as Odin. She still struggled with the images of the ones she had sent to him. There were so many things to atone for. She wondered if being with Bo would help or hurt her. She wondered if she would ever believe in the goodness that Bo believed she had. She became keenly aware of how much she missed her.
In frustration, she had laid on the rocks, that she and Freya had sat upon, and closed her eyes, listening to the sounds around her. The gentle lapping of water against the shore and the breaking of the waves off in the distance. They lulled her busy mind into much needed sleep.
She awoke with a start, hearing the water lap against the shore. She looked at her phone, thankful she had not slept long. She stood and looked out once more. A smile came over her face as she realized she wanted Bo to see this place. The place of her childhood. She wanted to share it with her and she knew exactly how to do that.
She closed her eyes as she rolled her shoulders. Her wings extended from her body and quivered in the wind. She gazed across the ocean as her features darkened. She thought of Bo as her eyes closed again and when she opened them she found herself standing back at the gates of Valhalla.
It wasn't long before she felt the energy of the gate opening and when she looked to it, her heart leapt as she saw Kenzi.
She could barely contain herself as she ran over to meet her. She practically picked her up she was so happy to see her. Kenzi was just as excited. They squeezed one another tightly in a hug.
Kenzi pulled away from her and put her hands on each of Tamsin's cheeks as she searched her eyes. Kenzi was smiling broadly and proudly as she shook her head from side to side, tears falling from her eyes, "my silly, brave, noble little Valkyrie!" Kenzi laughed out as Tamsin's eyes shyly looked down, "what am I going to do with you?!" before hugging Tamsin again.
"For one thing, never leave us again." Tamsin said as she tightened her own grip before pulling back to look at her, and said with a smirk on her face "and then I won't have to save your stupid ass". She pushed at Kenzi's shoulder before hugging her again. "It's good to have you back Momz."
Kenzi backed away this time to survey the grey leather she had seen her wearing. She pushed at Tamsin shoulder so she would turn around. "Look at you in your Valkyrie leather and MY boots!" It's a good look for you Tam-Tam, a little slutty what with all the tight leather and all..." Kenzi couldn't keep her straight face as she started to laugh, "...but seriously, I have recently learned a great appreciation for what a Valkyrie is and seeing you in this? It makes me even more proud to have my very own baby Valkyrie."
Tamsin blushed a little and said, "ok stop right now, I am NOT a baby.." she leaned in close to her as she raised and lowered her eyebrows in a lewd manner, she lowered her voice as she said "because a baby would NOT be doing the things I've done to your best fr…"
Kenzi stopped her from finishing as she shoved at her shoulder and said with an appalled tone, "What is it with you people and your inability to understand what is TOO MUCH INFORMATION!
Tamsin laughed as she said "fine, have it your way. You are missing out, I don't mind telling you!" Kenzi hit her shoulder again.
After Tamsin stopped laughing she asked as she looked around, "so, where is Bo?".
Kenzi just chuckled, "last I saw her she was standing right about there," pointing behind Tamsin at the wall, "talking to Cara. " Tamsin's eyes went wide as her eyes followed the direction of Kenzi's finger. She realized Bo and Cara were just a mere distance of feet from her.
Freya finally spoke and Tamsin and Kenzi turned towards her, "Bo, will be along soon."
Tamsin studied her for a moment before saying, "Ok. What is it you aren't telling me this time, Freya?"
Freya smiled, "Ah Tamsin, you know me so well." She shook her head, "would you believe me if I told you I wish I could tell you everything I know?"
Tamsin replied with a chuckle, "No, Freya, I wouldn't."
Freya continued to smile, "well that is too bad, because I would and I will. The time is very close, Tamsin."
Tamsin looked at her questioningly as Freya put her hand on Kenzi's shoulder, "So, Warrior. Are you ready to return? Where would you like to go?"
Kenzi looked at Tamsin, who suggested the Dahl. "They won't be expecting you, Momz. They had no idea what I had planned on doing, so you should thoroughly enjoy being able to shock the shit outta TricK!"
That sealed it for Kenzi, "The Dahl it is!" she said to Freya. Tamsin reminded her to go easy on the alcohol. She wouldn't have the same tolerance she was accustomed to in Valhalla or even before everything.
"Tamsin,' said Freya "we still have more to discuss and the rest includes Bo. But, I will allow you to choose the time. We will see you soon?" Tamsin nodded at her as Kenzi wiggled her fingers in a small wave before she and Freya disappeared.
Tamsin sighed as she looked back at the wall behind her. She walked over to it, leaned against it and closed her eyes. She thought of Bo and Cara. Her mind wandered, trying to imagine Bo's visit, wishing she could have shown her around the place she had spent so many years.
She couldn't have said how long she had stayed there before she felt the energy change again. She stood up just in time to see Bo walk through the gate. She was looking down at her hand and the dagger that was gripped there. Bo shook her head at it. As soon as she looked up, she immediately caught Tamsin's gaze, as they moved towards one another.
They stood there, frozen in an embrace, staring into one another's eyes until Tamsin lunged forward, kissing her with every ounce of her being. She had missed Bo so much and she could tell by the intensity that Bo returned the kiss, that she had missed her as well. Then she noticed. Bo tasted differently, but familiar somehow. Her eyes opened wide as she pulled back to look at Bo. Bo had a smirk on her face that would rival her own. Tamsin just shook her head knowingly, smiling devilishly, as she said, "NAUGHTY, naughty Succubus!" Before claiming her lips again.
Bo was only faintly aware that Tamsin had released her wings, she felt the difference in Tamsin's energy. The kiss became even more passionate as she felt Tamsin's full self, her Valkyrie and all, embracing her.
It wasn't until she heard a male clear his throat loudly and Kenzi's voice saying, "Yeah the Succu-face, I did NOT miss that at all!", that she realized where she was. The Dahl.
Bo and Tamsin pulled away from their kiss, glancing around with their eyes as they realized everyone in the Dahl was staring at them. They brought their eyes back to one another as Tamsin kissed her again and then leaned her forehead against Bo's whispering, "we can totally disappear and continue this somewhere more private. " Her eyebrows raised in hopefulness.
Bo's smile was evidenced even in her eyes as she pecked Tamsin on the lips "don't you worry, Valkyrie, you will be screaming my name in no time."
Kenzi screamed out, "Oh my GODS seriously, Bo? I'm right here!" as she put her hands between them and pried them apart with her arms. She shouted over her shoulder, "Freya, you may see me sooner than you think! Because living with all of this….." motioning to Bo and Tamsin as she turned to face the others, "is going to give me a heart attack!"
Everyone laughed as Bo finally remembered what she had in her hand. She held it up between them and Tamsin grabbed it, inspecting it. "Where did this come from, Bo? It's very old, probably as old as…." Her eyes moved to Freya, whose eyes squinted in a dare. A dare that Tamsin was not willing to accept at this moment. Instead, she looked back to Bo who had started to speak. "when I walked through the gate, the pendant was replaced by that." She motioned to the dagger in Tamsin's hand.
Trick had moved closer to see what they were talking about and his eyes went wide when he saw it. He looked to Freya, almost frightened and then back to Bo. Freya, seeing the look on the Blood Kings face stepped closer. Trick held his hand out and asked, "May I?" Tamsin looked to see Bo nod at her before placing it in his hand. He turned it over in his hands, his expression looking more and more solemn, as he did.
He laid the dagger down on a nearby table and sat down in front of it. He rubbed his forehead as he asked Bo, "What do you mean it replaced the pendant?"
Freya spoke up now, she however did not look frightened but, there was a look of relief and hope in her face as she studied the Blood King. She said, "The purpose of the pendant was to restore what was lost."
Bo spoke up, "I didn't lose this, I would definitely have remember this." No one but Freya noticed when Trick shook his head as he closed his eyes.
Freya studied Trick and she breathed in before saying, "If this is what I believe it to be" she looked at Trick, "then Tamsin if you are ready, I believe it is time for that talk." Tamsin again looked to Bo, who nodded at her. Tamsin looked back to Freya as she sighed, "ready when you are."
Freya clasped her hands together and announced, "Then, I believe we should adjourn to a more private setting." Trick nodded in agreement as he rose.
Tamsin was looking intently at Freya before glancing around the Dahl. No doubt Trick had emptied it when Freya had appeared with Kenzi. It's not every day the Queen of the Valkyries just shows up in a bar with a previously dead human. Tamsin met the faces of everyone standing in the bar. Bo, Kenzi, Dyson, Trick, and Lauren. She took a deep breath and looked at Freya, "every one of these people are my family, Freya. I hold no secrets from them and I trust them with my life. Anything you have to tell me, you can tell them." Bo smiled as she grabbed her hand and squeezed. That Tamsin had grown to think of the others so fondly warmed her heart.
Freya looked at Trick, "I trust that you have all of the proper protections in place for this establishment?" Trick looked at Dyson and motioned for the door, Dyson went over and put down the cross beam and looked back to Trick. He then looked at Freya and nodded.
Freya rose and gracefully motioned her hand, suggesting they all sit. She told them all the same story she had told to Tamsin and then to Bo. But, instead of stopping where she had stopped before she continued this time. "After Frigg expended her powers, exiling Odin into the Underworld, she was weakened greatly, her health deteriorated. She no longer had control over the fabric of destiny, but could still use her powers of foresight, and to feel the thoughts and feelings of others."
"For centuries she has exiled herself, safely away from his minions." She stopped to catch Bo's gaze, "Weakened so much by the entire experience, Frigg will die. And when she finally passes, Odin will be free once again. Free to unleash destruction and chaos that this world has never seen." Bo lowered her eyes. She felt ashamed of the man, ashamed that his blood now coursed through her veins. She also felt, responsible somehow.
But, as I told you before, just as with the Blood King, there is a cost to using such a power….."
Freya stopped as Bo stood abruptly. She was unable to sit any longer. Hearing about the cruelty and the evil of man whose blood she shared was overwhelming. Tamsin grabbed her hand and pulled her to her, trying to show Bo that it wasn't as bad as it sounded she tried to bring about a conclusion. Tamsin looked at Freya, "It's obvious that the cost of using her power was her immortality and now when she dies Odin will be released. But, that's what Bo is supposed to do, stop him. Right? That is the prophecy."
Freya walked over to Tamsin and put her hand on her cheek as she shook her head. She smiled at her. Her hesitation was evident. She finally said, "Tamsin, no. It wasn't. The price Frigg had to pay...was you. Her immortality was lost when she decided to put the rest of her energy into allowing you to grow and then giving birth to you. Your first breath was the beginning of her end." Freya looked down, hiding the tears that threatened to burst forth.
Tamsin furrowed her brow, unable to comprehend what she was being told. Yesterday, was the first she had ever heard of Frigg and now this? She remained still, trying to stay the nervous energy that was threatening to burst out of her. She grabbed Bo's hand and pulled it into her lap, focusing on her fingers as she tried to process what she was being told.
Freya pinched the bridge of her nose as she closed her eyes. A secret that had stayed inside of her for so long, and now she didn't know how to let it out. She looked back at Tamsin and met her eyes, forcing the words out. "Right before my sister's lover, Fenrir the Warrior, was killed by Odin. He and Frigg conceived a child. A daughter that she named after the two of us, Frigg and Freya. The twins" Tears were welling up in her eyes as Tamsin dropped into her seat "You. Tamsin." She put her hand on Tamsin's shoulder, who shook it off abruptly. Freya nodded her head a little in acceptance of Tamsin's reaction. "Frigg did not know of this until the Norn came to her. The Norn told her that the child had been marked by destiny and that if Frigg chose to have you it would lead to her eventual demise and Odin would be released. But, should the child be born, it would be separated from Frigg with a promise that this child would forever be tied to that day. She would be wise, just, courageous, and noble and would set right what he will try to undo."
Tamsin was breathing slowly as she took it all in. She was staring into her lap where her fingers where intertwined with Bo's. Bo was rubbing circles into her skin trying to soothe her. Freya reached down and grabbed their intertwined hands and pulled them up. "Tamsin since the moment you were born, your destiny was intertwined with Bo's just as sure as your fingers are now."
Bo and Tamsin looked at one another before looking back to Freya. She asked Trick if he was familiar with the prophecy of Destiny's Child. Trick nodded as his eyes opened wide, realizing what that meant. "Destiny's child you mean Tamsin is….." Freya nodded at him as he stared in awe of Tamsin and Bo. Freya asked him to recite it.
Trick stood as he continued looking at Tamsin and Bo, "From the ashes of regret, destiny's child will rise by proving to be worthy of the mantle. In her noblest sacrifice, the origin forged by the hand of evil, will be returned to her rightful Queen. Fate will bind the two together to bring to an end that which began at the creation of destiny's child."
Freya spoke to them again, "Tamsin you are Destiny's child and Bo is YOUR rightful Queen and mate. It's why I needed to be sure when I spoke to each of you and from what each of you told me. I know this to be true."
Tamsin and Bo looked at one another, their hands squeezed tighter. Bo looked at the dagger and held it in front of her. Unable to absorb or process any of the other information she looked to Freya and Trick. "Am I to understand this is the origin forged by the hand of evil?" When Freya nodded, Bo dropped it onto the table again, in disgust.
Freya looked to Trick, "I believe the Blood King has more information on that than I do". Trick closed his eyes, knowing that Bo was going to be unhappy with him for keeping this from her.
Trick reached across the table grabbing Bo's hand. "Bo before I tell you this, I want you to understand that I didn't mention this to you because the information was of no use. That dagger you now have was believed to be back in the hands of Odin. Irretrievable." Bo was staring at him, blankly. So use to him keeping things from her by now, that she would have been surprised if it had been any other way.
He took a deep breath and asked, "Bo, do you remember Lou Ann?"
Kenzi asked, "Do you mean death row Lou Ann? Lou Ann who was executed because of Vex? Lou Ann who helped steal baby Bo?"
He sighed out the words, "Yes, Kenzi. That Lou Ann." He looked back to Bo, he started to reach over and grab her hand but thought better of it and withdrew. "She was a type of Phoenix. She can arise from death." Kenzi started to speak and Trick stopped her, "No Kenzi it's not like the bird in Harry Potter." Kenzi rolled her eyes and sat back. Trick's eyes began moving between Bo and Tamsin as he spoke. "I waited until after her execution and went to collect her body. She awoke in the morgue but I was able to get her out in exchange for information. "
"She did not know the identity of the man…..of your father. She had said about him only that there was great magic involved in his presence. She told me that Aife had managed to steal a dagger…..and by Lou Ann's description, it is indeed the dagger you now have."
"The dagger was kept with Aife's captor at all times. Lou Ann did not know how Aife had managed to switch this dagger with a duplicate, but knew that the duplicate had come from Aife thralling a servant to have it commissioned for her. She killed the servant after the task had been completed. The night Aife came to Lou Ann to have her take you away, she made sure that the dagger was with you. She was adamant about it"
Trick sat back as he sighed, his thoughts going for a moment to his own daughter, "Lou Ann said that people who worked for your…..father came after the dagger, when you were in a hotel in the city the day your parents adopted you. They thought the men were demons. They somehow managed to get you away safely, blending in to the small time life away from other Faes who could alert him to your presence. They essentially hid you from him, without ever even knowing what they had avoided."
Bo was glaring at Trick. He looked down to his lap, before looking back up at her. Freya spoke instead, "This dagger Bo, is Odin's Origin. I have seen it with him before, although then he did not carry it with him at all times. This is the only thing that can kill him and you lost it without ever even know that you had."
Bo stood, she looked at Tamsin. She spoke as she kept her eyes on her Valkyrie. "I am used to all of this. The secrets and prophecies. The doom and gloom. But what I want to know is…" she looked directly at Freya, "…why didn't you tell her this before?"
Freya looked at Tamsin, "Because I couldn't." Tamsin rolled her eyes. "It is the truth Tamsin, Your mother….Frigg was adamant that you be allowed to choose your own path. When she was told that she would have to give you up, we decided that I would take you. You were born of a warrior. There is no other like you in all of the Valkyries, Tamsin, because, the blood that flows through your veins is the strongest of the Vanir, combined with the greatest of Norse warriors and the very powerful Loki. Your call to the Valkyrie was intrinsic. But, Frigg would only agree to allow me to do so, if I swore an oath to not interfere. To not tell you what I have until the day you would sacrifice yourself at the gates of Valhalla, for another. Up until this day, only Myself, Frigg, the Norn, and Acacia knew of your birthright."
Tamsin asked, her voice dripping with anger, "Acacia knew of this? What about the day I died on the battlefield with Cara? Acacia said that was you who struck life back into me!"
Freya bowed her head as she shook it, "That was Frigg, she had foreseen every possible future that you would go through and when that day came, she protected you. She has always protected you. She sent the prophecies meant to guide you. But, that moment." Freya's breathe hitched, "she paid for that moment with her prophetic power, her very essence, in a deal with the Norn. I sent Acacia there, to stop you from trying again. I did not know, at the time, that Odin was involved in your suffering."
Tamsin stood so forcefully that her chair crashed to the floor. She yelled at her, "You mean someone could have stopped all of this? Cara could have lived, I could have known about Bo before everything that I did to her? And this didn't happen because the woman who gave birth to me wanted ME to choose my own path? Look what I did with that choice, Freya! Look at the people I hurt! Did she not foresee that too? I am worthy of none of this!" Tamsin's voice was hoarse as she finished through gritted teeth, "She could have avoided all of this simply by ending my life before it even began."
Tamsin stood there defiantly, her chest heaving. So, much pain. So much anguish. And it could all have been avoided. She wished at that moment she had never been born.
Freya replied, "don't you see Tamsin? Every single step you have taken in your life has led you to THIS." She picked up the dagger and held it out to her. "Cara had to wish for that pendant and you had to pass it on to Bo. To Bo, Tamsin! The ONLY person on this earth who lost this." She slammed the point into the table. "Do you think Frigg wanted to live out her life in a small hut away from everyone she loved? Do you think she wanted to give away the only child she had, never to be seen again? Do you think she wanted to lose almost everything that she was, reducing her to a frail old woman who can feel the emotions of those she loves and do nothing about it? Do you THINK Tamsin that she wanted to see the only man she ever loved, struck down in front of her? And WHY Tamsin, Why do you think this happened to her? Because she chose to put the good of the world above herself! So, Do NOT speak of my sister as if she did nothing for you. She gave everything so that YOU could have a life. So that YOU could live your life. Everything YOU did with that life was YOUR choice."
Freya's chest was heaving as she sat heavily into the chair. In an uncharacteristic moment of weakness, she leaned forward and put her face in her hands. Kenzi walked over and put her hand on her shoulder, Freya sat up and put her hand on top of hers and said "Thank you, child". Kenzi said "you spend so much of your life calming others, it's the least I can do." As she smiled at her.
Freya stood. Her voice lower as she walked towards Tamsin. "Wishing away your whole existence was the last thing that she would consider. Not for herself, but for you. You are truly the product of love, and hope. I wish Tamsin, that you could empathize for the pain my sister has gone through, wishing that this burden was not placed on your shoulders, wishing that she could have ended Odin's life rather than only exiling him. But, if she had you wouldn't be here, Bo wouldn't be here. Tamsin, The violence, the pain, the anger. It was all necessary for you to be the woman who stands before me now. A woman who has seen the unjust, who can now right it. A woman who has felt the pain, and can now soothe it. A woman who hated, but can now love with abundance. You have been purified by the trials of darkness. It was far more than your stubbornness that held you to your previous lives, it was your destiny. It was Bo's destiny that drew you forth." She reached up and put her hand on Tamsin's cheek, caressing it with her thumb, "From the day you were born, I knew you would be extraordinary and Tamsin, you are." She moved her hand to Bo's cheek, "and you have found your match. Your equal. The two of you will stop the enemy of all that are living. The two of you will save this world, just as my sister did so long ago."
Freya stepped away from them, her voice now completely calm. "Go home, Tamsin be with the one you love. Rest. And when you have had time to think, call on me if it is your wish, and we will talk again. I will tell you and Bo everything I can to aid you on this quest."
Bo nudged Tamsin, before wrapping both of her arms around Tamsin's and leaning her head on her shoulder. She stretched up and whispered, "let's go home" Tamsin nodded absentmindedly as she allowed Bo to guide her to the door. She mumbled "bye" as Bo turned to wave and blow a kiss at Kenzi, before walking out the door.
In honor of Kenzi's returned Trick had offered up his top shelf for the night. He had poured them all a drink after Tamsin and Bo had left. Even Kenzi was at a loss for words, as they all sat silently at the table. Kenzi finally offered up her glass and the others followed, "To Bo and Tamsin…..who's lives would just be super boring if there wasn't peril and prophecies involved!" That lightened the mood as they all clinked their glasses together.
After some time of Kenzi retelling her adventures in Valhalla, Freya and Trick had gone to his den to talk. Kenzi, Dyson and Lauren where left at the bar.
Kenzi was busy trying to focus her eyes on the screen of her phone, trying to catch up with the world she had missed as she listened to the drunken conversation between Dyson and Lauren.
Dyson was eyeing his glass when he said, "I thought Fenrir was a wolf." Lauren nodded her head and said, "and I thought Loki was Odin's son". Dyson nodded his head, before stopping abruptly. Their eyes went wide as they looked at each other. Lauren said "but that would mean that Bo is…." Kenzi slammed her hand down on the bar loudly, stopping what they where saying. "Stop it right now! Don't even suggest such an icky thing! I am SURE that Freya would have mentioned if Bo was T's aunt or cousin or…..whatever!" She stood shakily exclaiming, "Whoa!" as she grabbed the bar for balance mumbling to herself, "now I have to build up a stupid tolerance again", knowing she had not drank half as much as she normally did at the Dahl.
She started to walk in the direction of Trick's den before stopping abruptly and turning around, "Well come on! I am way more drunk than I thought I was and I'm not going in there by myself!" As she stumbled to the stairs, she shivered as she kept mumbling "That's just….icky! ICKY!"
They all walked in as Trick and Freya looked up from their seats. Kenzi spoke for them, because , it looked like Lauren and Dyson were a little intimidated by her. "So, Queenie…." Seeing the look on Freya's face change Kenzi corrected herself, with a smile, "….I mean Freya. We have a disagreement here. These two here…" as she motions with her thumbs to them… "say that Fenrir, Tamsin's dad and all, was a wolf and his dad was Odin's son." She grimaced as she mumbled the rest almost unintelligibly, "making Bo and Tamsin closely related".
Freya laughed as she looked at them all as she stood, "You are partially correct." Seeing the terrified look grow on Kenzi's face she assured her, "No, child! They are not related". She motioned for them to all sit down as she gracefully sat back in her seat.
"Humans through time have had very little grasp over the world of the Fae. Their lack of understanding and knowledge is reflected in the legends. The lore and the myths. They tried to explain away what they did not understand. Fenrir was a great warrior, from a line of great human warriors. Before the Fae even became involved in his family they ruled justly and wisely. They were loved and respected by all. And for those who opposed them they dealt with them swiftly and humanely. Loki however is similar to the myths that you may have heard. He was not a particularly moral person, he was conniving and manipulative but he had his strengths and he was very powerful. His relationship to Odin was what you may call an adoptive one, that began before Odin married my sister. There is no blood relationship to him."
She looked at Dyson, "You are a shapeshifter are you not?" Dyson reverently lowered his eyes in affirmation. "The shapeshifters come from many realms. I can tell by your features that your blood is from the Vanir. From the blood of my people. Your form is that of a wolf isn't it?" Dyson lowered his eyes again. Freya clasped her hands together and nodded. "Loki was a shapeshifter as well. But, he could change in to many forms. Any life form he chose. He was rather unique in his powers. He tricked Fenrir's mother, making her believe he was something he was not. But from that union, they begat Fenrir. In adulthood, he was a handsome man. Blonde with green eyes. Tamsin looks very much like him. He, too was a shapeshifter. His form was a wolf. The people of his kingdom would see a large benevolent but imposing wolf patrolling through the kingdom and eventually it was discovered that the wolf was indeed Fenrir. Passed down through the ages, as legends often do, his human form was forgotten and that of the wolf is how the legend now reads. Odin had ruled all of this realm and he was a harsh ruler. And when it was discovered that Fenrir was dead but that Odin was no more, the legend grew that Fenrir himself had struck him down." She chuckled lightly as she added "by eating him if you can believe such a thing!"
She looked at the four in front of her as she sighed, "Now, have I answered all of your questions?" Seeing them all satisfied she stood, smoothing out her dress as she smiled. "I believe it is time for me to take my leave." Dyson and Trick had stood along with her, each of them knowledgeable on proper etiquette. She looked at Trick as she grabbed his hand. "Patrick, if you should think of anything more, please do not hesitate to call on me, you are familiar with the procedure?" Trick nodded affirmatively.
"As for the rest of you, I am sure that we will see one another again." She paused to put her hand on Kenzi's cheek and simply smiled at her before clasping her hands in front of her and bowing her head to them all and then she was gone.
Kaladkarenpo, Good job figuring out about Frigg being Tamsin's mother! :)
