Eira Byrnison Prologue

For century's far to the north in the land of Svalbard the panserbjorn have long made their home. The panserbjorn are not any tribe of human nor part of any rule under the Magisterium. The panserbjorn are and have always been a species of sapient armored polar bears. Ones that are sentient capable of incredible levels of intelligence, and can speak human languages. All armored bears forge their own specific armor from rare and unique metal known as sky-iron. Similar to humans who have soul daemons a panserbjorns armor greatly resembles the same way carrying a piece of them inside. A panserbjorn is bound to its armor. To a panserbjorns eyes it is their very soul. Without it they are lost for a panserbjorn cannot go to war without their armor. War is the sea they swim in, the air they breathe.

The line of succession for the Svalbard throne has always been clear. It's either always been passed down through bloodline or won through honorable combat.

The former has won over with it never breaks.

Until one dreadful day when the heir apparent Prince Iorek Byrnison was challenged by another bear called Hjalmir Hjalmirson a ritual of dominance to win a claimant over a female bear.

Her name is Eira.

Eira is a treasure to behold in Svalbard. Normally the fighters amongst panserbjorn are male, but Eira is a female with her own set of armor. She is rare, unique, and highly valued. Long have Iorek and Eira had an affection for one another making the match a good one assuming she would become an adequate mate from him. But this unexpected challenge leaves a rift leaving Iorek no alternative but to face it.

There was an unforeseen circumstance that causes Iorek's downfall and causes him to become banished in disgrace. Before combat had started Hjalmir had been drugged a secret plot to dethrone Iorek so that another could acquire the seat. This led Hjalmir to keep fighting even after he lost refusing to be defeated.

Iorek was left no other choice. To protect himself Iorek was forced to take his opponents life. This brought great shame because this one law above all is strictly forbidden which leads to being stripped of all rank and title.

Iorek was condemned to exile, but he would not leave alone.

To the objections of many including Iorek, Eira chose to leave with him. Although many were reluctant to admit it the truth behind the logic behind the argument Eira used in her case is undeniable. While Iorek did break a sacred law he had still won the duel in single combat over her. Therefore they must stick together.

Bitter and humiliated over what he lost and deeply ashamed that he took another fellow bears life the last think Iorek wanted being for Eira to too lose all she held dear. Leaving her to suffer through such dishonor and indignity along with him.

None of that matters to Eira in the least. She is determined to lead a new life with him even if it's away from their beloved mountains and snow.

And so Iorek and Eira Byrnison were banished, subjected to exile while a ruthless tyrant Iofer Raknison took over the throne, not looking back.

That is until one faithful day a little girl enters their lives. A step into a journey that neither of them will ever forget.

Authors Note:

Glad each and every one of you had a Merry Christmas, my friends! Here is your belated present for the holiday! Glad you can enjoy it as I have writing it. And, let's not forget, have a Happy New Year!

September 11th has come and gone once again. I was very young when it happened. Don't know about all of you, but I certainly was really scared. One minute I was at elementary school in class and the next my parents are pulling me out, taking my little sister and I home. That's when we learned the truth. The Twin Towers we'd see all the time whenever we traveled outside the city limits on road trips would no longer be there. We were stunned when we'd seen them destroyed on TV. Those trips were never the same again just like the lives of millions. In honor for the people that fell that day and to those still struggling to survive from the aftermath I suggest a moment of respective silence. I think we all can use that.

Hope you all like this one! I certainly did while writing it for your vast enjoyment! ;D

This idea came to mind after I watched the new HBO series His Dark Materials. Iorek Byrnison has long been my favorite character in both the movie and now the television show and the idea simply sprang to mind. I'm happy I've been able to find the time and inspiration for it to share with you all.

Big time heads up! Article 13 is on the move again. Our freedom of speech is seriously on the line. Find a legitimate petition that is fighting this decision and sign onto it. Every signature counts to keep what we love alive.

I recently put up some other works I've put out at titled Secret Of Bristol Cove, Predators Redemption, A Revolutionary Romance, Fantine Tezla: Hot Wheels Acceleracers, Magic And the Brave Little Toaster 1, Lavinia: Princess Of Edelweiss, Rorschach's Legend, Watchmen Meets Avengers: The Newest Defender, The 8th Loser, Naomi Poldark: Mistress Of Nampara, Serenity: End Guardian To The Moors, Dido Cruger: Power Rangers SPD, and Nuala: The White Lioness. I highly recommend them. ;D

By the way Rorschach's Legend and Watchmen Meets Avengers: The Newest Defender are the newest additions to my profile. If you're a fan of Watchmen and the new series on HBO coming up soon then I recommend that you check it out. Since it was just recently uploaded I really would enjoy hearing other peoples thoughts on the subject matter so far. So feel free to do so if you have the time.

I have other grand news! I was a patron at New York Comic Con! Ah! I'd been dying to go for years and now I had the opportunity. The Jokers from Impractical Jokers have been here along with Tom Hiddleston and so many others. Over those few days I actually got my picture taken with a couple of other actors/actresses and some really great panels. It really is so exciting there. This is an opportunity of a lifetime so there's no way in hell that I was going to waste a single second of it. No one ever should with something like this. Ever! ;D

For future preferences I highly recommend that you all keep an eye out for when tickets for New York Comic Con are available for purchase again for next year. This is a huge event and you should jump on it whenever you have the chance.
