Lyra watched through her tears as she saw Iofur Raknison kill Iorek. Iorek came into Svalboard tired, hungry, and weak. It didn't take Iofur much to take Iorek down. Iofur sliced through Ioreks chest, and Lyra just couldn't watch. She hid her eyes, for she didn't want to see Ioreks heart be eaten by Iofur. She looked up when she heard Iofur approaching. She wiped her eyes and looked up. Lyra didn't know if bears could smile, but if they could Lyra thought Iofur would be. "Come my little daemon. Tonight there will be a feast and you will sit at my side." "Yes Your Majesty" "No more of that. You are my daemon now, not my subject, you shall call me Iofur" Lyra merely nodded. "Oh no!" she thought," Not only did I betray my dear Iorek, but I have to be a daemon to his killer! Oh why did I do this?" Lyra felt Pan nuzzle her fingers. "Pan! Oh no, what about pan?" she thought. She slowly followed Iofur back to the castle. She was given some warm fur robes to change into for the banquet. She went was lead to a warmer room so when she changed she wouldn't freeze. "I guess the bears know a little about more about humans then i thought, "she mused to herself. But when she saw Iofur followed her and stayed when she changed she thought, "Hmm. I guess not." Lyra shrugged it away, thinking, he's only a bear, no big deal. She made sure that the alithiometer was on her waist in the money belt thing. (AN: I didn't know what to call it...sorry ^-^') Iofur lead her into a dining room. It was huge, and had a long table in the middle. It was very short so she figured they sat on the ground. The walls were draped in red clothes hanging from the ceiling attached to the wall at the bottom. She and Iofur were seated at the far end of the table. Lyra noticed that Iofur hadn't changed. She thought it must be some kind of tradition to wear ones battle Armor and to the dinner. He had no serious wounds so that had not delayed the dinner any. When every bear was seat some other bears came in with seals, and fish. Lyra was handed a fish and a bit of seal blubber. Lyra ate the blubber easly, it was quite good. But when it came to the fish, she couldn't get through the scales. Iofur took it from her and opened it up. "You eat the meat, that's the stuff right here, and here" Iofur pointed out the good meat, and Lyra ate it. When everyone had eaten there fill Iofur stood up. "Bears! I have an announcement to make!"
