The Forgotten Chieftain's Wife Chapter 18

After the encounter with Garona in the dungeons Lady Taria made a beeline for where she knew her husband would be waiting for her on a terrace attached to the back of the throne room.

King Llane has his back towards the door with his hands on the banister staring out overlooking the city with the multiple lights from torches radiating in the darkness.

Upon Lady Taria's entry he turned around to face her.

Removing the hood of her cloak, Lady Taria said "She will take Lothar to their camp…Poor creature."

Grateful, gazing tenderly into his wife's eyes, King Llane said "Thank you."

"You were right. A woman's hand was needed," said Lady Taria, tracing a hand over his chest.

Taking her hand in his, conspiringly, King Llane said "I know of none better."

Lady Taria kisses the back of his knuckles lovingly.

Expression turning grim, King Llane said "Did this Garona give you any information on Lyanna?"

Nodding, Lady Taria said "Yes."

"And," pressed King Llane, eager.

"From what Garona has told me Lyanna started off as a slave to this Gul'dan and then handed off as a gift to one of the Orc Clans. I think the she said they go by Frostwolves. They freed her and…Llane, Lyanna ended up married to their Chieftain," said Lady Taria.

Stock still at this bit of news, shutting his eyes in guilt and shame for not being there to protect Lyanna when she needed him most, King Llane said "You're sure that's what you heard from her?"

"Yes, there's no mistaking what Garona said," confirms Lady Taria, softly, sympathetic to what must be going through her husbands mind right now.

"Did Garona say how Lyanna is treated there with these Frostwolves," said King Llane.

Lady Taria said "Nothing else was bad. She said that Lyanna is treated well among them, held in high esteem and reverence. Lyanna and the Frostwolf Chiefain are very much in love. Whoever this Frostwolf Chieftain is he's taken good care of and loves your sister very much."

"That has yet to be decided," said King Llane, somber.

King Llane refuses to believe that until he has seen Lyanna alive and well with his own eyes.

"Hopefully this scouting trip will give us more answers you seek," said Lady Taria.

Authors Note:

Hope you all like this one! I certainly did writing it for you. ;D

I don't know about the rest of you, but I saw the new movie Avengers Endgame on the big premiere night! Oh man, I couldn't believe it. I am so happy they didn't cut anything, actually make and keeping the three hours running time. There was so much going on that it probably would've ruined it if they did that.

I need your shared opinions.

In light of Avengers Endgame, in preference to my Rise Of The Snow Queen series, what do you all think of a one-shot or flashback chapter for in between where Loki is with Thanos before he heads to Earth?

Here's the idea I'm trying to get at maybe Loki catches a glimpse of his sister on Jotunheim. Because in Rise Of The Snow Queen 2 he makes it very clear that he already knows she's a Queen. So maybe that can be very suitable this time around for our girl.

So, what do all of you hardcore Avengers fans think?

Should I do it?
