Numain smiling to herself strokes the silver, jewel-studded chalice, a spoil of her victory over Maeve. She rotates it examining closely the intricate craftsmanship and beautifully carved gems. She mulls over the memory of the owner's face as she disappeared from Conchobar's Castle commenting,"Poor Prince Ivar, once again the Chalice eludes you. It seems you are not destined to get it back. Your destiny doesn't seem to align with your homeland but with Kells and Princess Deirdre. Her! Lugad showed her much too much human emotion, almost ruining him and my plans for him for the future! "Numain scowling jealous of Lugad's past, outward display of affection towards the princess.
"Princess Deirdre seems to be very unhappy these past years, that is because Prince Ivar had left her to return to his homeland. Much is afoot there and he and the princess haven't discussed or solidified their destinies. Theirs is a special one, one that Maeve failed to stop. Hmm! Maeve overestimated her cunning, but the Mystic Knight Rohan her own son along with Lugad defeated her! Serves her right! But she has now disappeared from her exile island of Tomor, so I must be on guard! She will seek vengeance this I know, but I have Mider now, an ally who will do my bidding.
I know Prince Ivar will also try to track down this chalice, I must do something to stir Kells so that the prince will not have time to look for it." Numain smiles darkly,"Well Prince Ivar I have just the quest to keep you busy."Her long fingernails tapping the surface of the Chalice rhythmically.
Ivar sleeps soundly, the waves outside rocking his floating cabin's quarters gently as he dreams....
Ivar back on Kells walk along the path back to the Castle when suddenly, he falls into a pit. Suspended on a rope which seemingly came out of nowhere, he dangles there. Holding onto the rope, he has one of his arms outstretched to grab something--a bright blue toy box. Then he climbs up the rope and brings the box up to the surface. He opens it up and has a look of rejoice, a happy surprise exclaiming,"Oh My Lugh!" The dream ends...
The dream fades away jolting Ivar awake laying there on his pillow, "I hate that, what was in that box? What is the meaning--my childhood comes to the surface? What..about..it..now?" Ivar rubbing his eyes, and yawning. Suddenly there is a loud knock on the cabin's door and it opens,"My Prince, Land of Kells approaches!" The royal fleet commander announces and bows, then shuts the door.
A smile creeps on his face thinking out loud, "Kells--my home awaits me, my destiny lies here. Its been four long years, hope all is well. Deirdre will be surprised I know... that I have returned to her. I know things will not be the same, but we must follow our destinies. I've certainly learned that lesson!"Thinking about all the past stones of experiences he tripped on, trying to avoid his path.
The ship comes to a stop, and loud voices in several African dialects could be heard. Ivar emerges with a large bundle--gifts from his homeland for his friends of Kells.
Ivar and royal escorts carrying the prince's personal belongings trudge the trail he knows so well when suddenly, a little boy emerges out of the brush--chestnut-brown,wavy hair and wearing the red-orange yellow colors of Kells thrusting upward a stick pointing at the prince,"HALT! WHO GOES THERE? YOU ARE NOT KELLS!"The little boy with the other hand on his hip looking at a startled Ivar, then his escorts.
"Vair! Vair! Where are you?" A young woman servant looking through the brush then spying him, running towards him and Ivar, then stops surprised, "My Lugh! Prince I--var? You have returned?" Grabbing the stick from Vair and throwing it away and then bowing, smiling broadly to the prince.
Ivar recognized Nieve, Deirdre's personal handmaiden and says,"Nieve, still running looking after everything, good to see you too. One of your charges, bold lad, isn't he!" Ivar laughing at the child.
"You know him?" The child asking her with surprised big, blue eyes.
The handmaiden brightly smiles nodding,"Oh yes, this is Prince Ivar, a Mystic Knight, just like your Mother."
"Mother? This is...Deirdre's son?" Ivar quite shocked not expecting this turn of events, looking at the child's face.
Nieve walks alongside the prince introducing him,"This is Vair, Deirdre's son, Vair, Prince Ivar." As she gestures him to give a royal bow.
"You're a prince like me? You know me mummy? You are a Mystic Knight with mummy? You wear funny clothes and hat!" The child examining Ivar up and down puzzled. <>/P>
"Vair! You must excuse the prince, he hasn't had much exposure to outsiders before. He's just being..."the handmaiden looking exasperated.
"A child." Ivar finishes the sentence and laughs at him, seeing Deirdre's honest in-your-face attitude in the child. He continues,"So Nieve, Dierdre's married and settled, nearby Kells!" Ivar now wondering what is in store in his destiny.
"No, my Prince..my lady has not married ..she is still.. at the Castle." Nieve looking at Ivar with side glances, not to reveal anything else in front of the child, which Ivar absorbed and understood these looks and said no more. They reached the Castle courtyard and Kells everywhere stopped to see Prince Ivar enter, and shouts of his name fill the air! Even Kells' castle rampart guards wave and cheer Ivar's return, broad smiles welcoming him at every turn. Ivar felt his homecoming expressing gratitude.
Cathbad comes to one of the entrances of the castle to investigate what all the commotion is about, then he spies a familiar helmet among the throng of people and the bright handsome smile of the prince. As Ivar and escorts arrive to the doorway, the old Druid shuffles to greet him smiling and laughing "This is a day of surprise, not even a vision of a falcon! You slipped by my seeing! Ho! Ho! Welcome back Ivar! I see you ran into Vair and Nieve!" Vair watching all of Kells react to this strange man with joy and happiness.
"Cathbad, so good to be back. My homecoming has really warmed my heart. Kells a home of joy and peace. What a wonderful sight to behold!" As he and Cathbad walk towards the throneroom. At the entrance of the throneroom, the king's royal guards immediately smiles broadly, nods removing their crossed spears that bar the entrance.
King Conchobar not turning around, and looking for something heard Cathbad's voice,"Cathbad, what is all the noise outside sounds like a fest!"
"Your Majesty, the pen is under the third leg of the right-hand table. "Ivar smiling brightly.
The king quickly swings around, recognizing the voice,"Ivar! Oh ho! You are back!" The king smiling, grabbing both of the prince's arms and patting each other on the back, forgetting his search.
"It is good to be back, your Majesty. I was just telling Cathbad that it feels like yesterday, hard to believe its been four years. I never meant to stay away, my kingdom is now restored to my father. I've come back, I heard about Maeve, and want to track the other sorceress, Numain! She's got my Chalice now and Mider. This we must prepare for!"Ivar warns the king who nods along with Cathbad. The king then with a hand signal commands the guards to usher Ivar's escorts to his old chamber to unburden them from his belongings, and find them suitable accommodations to rest.
Well, well look what Kells' water brought to shore!" Angus smiling, marching up to Ivar, followed by Rohan,"You're back we've missed your sorry face around here!" Rohan and Angus both grasping Ivar's arms. Then the Mystic Knight of Forest appears remarks,"Your sword is getting slower Ivar, took you four years to come back to Kells?" Garret teasing Ivar, hitting his shoulder, Ivar laughing and responds,"They don't give up as easily as Temrans! I'm a bit tired but we'll have a go in the courtyard later!"
"You've been gone a long time!" Rohan adds.
"Too long!" A strong loud voice from the back of the throneroom, by a crowned woman wearing a long, fiery-red braid in a long, midnite-blue gown sweeping the floor as she strides towards Ivar, their eyes locked on one another. She hugs him and says,"You look like you've battled them single- handedly, but your kingdom is now back to normal I trust?" Deirdre speaking with an air of royal confidence.
Ivar takes in the woman he left four years ago. She's changed, the smile is there but something in her eyes tells him--change of plans Ivar. From behind, comes Vair who hides behind his mother's dress, clutching it peeking out at Ivar, staring at him with wonder.
"You met Vair!" Deirdre looking down at her child, rubbing the top of his wavy hair, like a proud mother, then looking at Ivar.
"Oh yes Deirdre, Vair came at me thrusting a stick for a sword, drawn ready to do battle with me. You taught him well, he will be a fine warrior someday, like his Mother." Ivar searching her eyes for an explanation, knowing full well it is he that needs to do the explaining of his prolonged absence and the events that have led up to another changed course in their road to destiny.
All gather at the table as Ivar unfolds the events of the attempted assassination on his father's life. How Findar and Kotkar's death the same way by the same man cast suspicion on his entire family. How Findar's father overcome with grief of losing two children, financed the assassins and created rumors that the Royal Family was stealing from the poor, buying weapons to kill off religious leaders that opposed them and covering up Kotkar's murder and the torture incarceration of Kotkar's wife in Kells' prison. " Freya spread that Kells were ruffians and practiced barbarism and was under my control. How sick she is! How could we be so taken in!" Ivar hitting the table with his fist. "Things were so horrendous, rumors generated news and people were so apt to be influenced by lies!" He talked for hours, the Kells astounded by the prince's preserverance to maintain grace under pressure. It was understandable to all, why the prince looked so visibily weary, and returned to Kell as as his refuge.
The next day, news come from the outskirts of Kells that conjured beasts were terrorizing the land once again, was it Maeve? Or was it Numain or Mider? The Chieftains meeting with the king is already in progress, when one of them spies Ivar in the hallway, calling out,"Ivar your late for our meeting?" Chieftain smiling and laughing at him, pointing at an empty chair. Ivar walks in happy to be included once again among Kells decision makers.
Angus teases Ivar after the meeting,"Still on Kell duty call, eh Ivar. Definitely in your blood." He walking alongside like old times. He continues, "Guess you were surprised about Vair, huh? Victory of Air! He's a real feisty lad! Takes no prisoners!" Angus chuckling.
Ivar laughs out loud,"I know Angus, you should have seen him, Ivar's eyes widen, gruffing his voice imitating Vair's put-on voice,then remarks,"It sounded like Deirdre! Nieve didn't want to say much about Vair's father, so Mr. Know-It-All-What-Goes on from the grapevine of the Castle's kitchen, who is he? Where is he and why haven't I met him?" Ivar turning grilling Angus.
Angus is quiet, relishing that Ivar is in the dark about something. He says, "Oh, just some warrior, not Kell though and um..he's not around anymore!"Angus shrugging his shoulders looking at Ivar then, slowly saunters away, whistling knowing Ivar will want to know more.
"Okay Angus, I'll track it down myself!" Ivar laughing at him, knowing he's being baited.
Ivar spies Vair, peeking from around the corner wall at him. Ivar acts like he didn't see him and starts walking outside the courtyard and out into the fields becoming reacquainted with his old hiking trails. He senses a presence nearby in the bushes, he realizes he's being tracked like a forest animal. Ivar continues walking through the woods, getting down on his knees rubbing the dirt, examining animal track marks. Ivar decides to follow it, with Vair taking a few paces behind, hiding everytime Ivar would look back. Ivar continues to walk then starts to run fast in the brush, then hides.
Vair gets up starts running fast looking around for Ivar who totally disappears from his sight. Then suddenly, he's lifted up into the air and grabbed by Ivar, swinging him around and around,"Got you! You've got to be quick to track me down Vair!" Ivar laughing at a shrieking Vair, they becoming instant friends. Ivar then shows Vair how to track little forest creatures, both getting down in the dirt following trails and spying on the animals they were tracking. Vair was so excited about having someone teach him fun things that didn't have to do with being good.
Hours later,Ivar returns to the Castle with a dirty little prince in tow, and Nieve stands there looking at both of them disapprovingly,"Vair! We've been looking all over for you, your Mother was frantic, you should never go out without me, or letting me know where you are going!" She picking him up continues,"Lugh! Playing in the dirt again, were you?"
Vair shakes his head,"No, I was with Prince Ivar, he showed me animal marks and things." He smiling excited, eyes aglow.
Ivar looking sheepish,"Sorry about his clothes Nieve, we were tracking together. He somehow followed me outside then into the woods, spying on me!" Looking at Vair winking. Ivar was about to leave when Deirdre shows up looking first at Vair, then walks around Ivar inspecting his clothes, remarks,"Boys! Vair and Ivar have to find ways for us to clean up their messes." Deirdre shaking her head at Vair disapprovingly, then at Ivar with an annoyed,upraised eyebrow.
Nieve whisks up Vair to get him to a bath, leaving Deirdre and Ivar alone together for the first time since he arrived back at Kells. There was an awkward moment of silence, finally broken by Ivar,"That's a great child you have there, fast learner too. He's so much like you Deirdre!" The prince studying Deirdre's eyes to find out what she's feeling.
Deirdre tells him very little. He's not her confidante anymore. She informs him that Vair's father is a warrior whom she met had a secret affair that no one in Kells knows about, then he left. She thought he would return but he didn't. She had Vair alone, scared a bit because her father would not have approved, especially she was suppose to talk about the possibility of a betrothal to Garret. She reminded Ivar of his participation in the negotiations for the political alliance between Kells and Regart. She still did not give into marriage because of the Lemurian prophecy and that her destiny is not just Kells, looking at Ivar. He tries to explain to her that he was forced to marry from a neighboring kingdom, it was the only way to get the military aid to crush the uprising. It wasn't anything else, he had no love for the woman and she suffered a miscarriage losing their son. Deirdre was shocked knowing how much Ivar wanted children. Deirdre reaches out to Ivar stroking his face,"I'm so sorry Ivar." He sensing Deirdre's heartfelt sympathy, he touches her hand lightly,"Thanks Deirdre." The he turns, walking away, absorbing the little known facts about Vair's father. He also sensed Deirdre is very uncomfortable discussing Vair's father with him. Was she embarrassed or is she hiding details about him on purpose? Ivar wondering.
Rohan and Angus meet up with Aideen who was gathering up flowers in her tiny hands, when Angus calls out and quips,"You getting married today, Aideen?" Are we invited?" Looking at Rohan winking.
Aideen flies over to both,"No, I'm just gathering flowers to make a floral ring for King's Fin Varra's feast to calm everyone's uneasiness in Tir na Nog. There has been so much talk about the coming battle between Maeve and Numain. the Little People are taking wages who will win. The Mystic Knights must be ready once again, who knows what these two will unleash on us. The Lemurian Sky Lords will have their work cut out for them, with the Dark Forces prepared to unleash havoc on any place of peace." The fairy warned seriously.
"Speaking of Lemurian Sky Lords, the Chosen One has returned to Kells!" Rohan quizzing the fairy to see if she can identify who he is alluding to.
"He's back really? Deirdre must be shocked, she thought he would never return. Ivar is back hmmm, maybe it's going to change the course of events on many levels. Must go and tell Fin Varra, he has not said anything about the prince's return! Goodbye Rohan, Angus!" The fairy quickly flying off.
"Boy Aideen took off in a hurry, why is Ivar's return so important now? Is he and Deirdre going to be a part of the battle between Maeve and Numain? "Rohan glances at Angus wondering.
Angus returns the look to him,"Whatever is about to happen, it can't be good for either Deirdre or Ivar or for the Mystic Knights for that matter. As Ivar said yesterday, that we need to be prepared. Ivar learned something from home that may help him locate his chalice, leading us to Numain!" His two hands leaning on Rohan's right shoulder.
Nearby, a small gray owl takes flight from a branch above them, and swoops across a field to a group of large boulders, then transforming to Numain. She heard the discussion among the knights and fairy, so now she will be on alert for Ivar's abilities to find his chalice. She has a way to keep Ivar distracted and get vengeance on Princess Deirdre at the same time. "It's time Princess, for almost ruining my relationship with Lugad, let's see how you will enjoy my meddling in your affairs!" Numain raises her arms upward, shape-shifting once again into the owl taking off for the skies.
Ivar and Garret display their swordsmanship using double swords together. As the clanging of metal got faster and furious between them, they drew many spectators. This time, there is no interference, just two warriors concentrating on each other as formidable opponents.
Vair watches Prince Ivar as his reflexes dance around Garret's sword, moving and blocking them. Both princes are always ready to claim victory but this time, fate settles the score with Ivar, knocking one of Garret's swords out of his hands,quickly blocking, then stepping on the fallen one, and with lightning speed pushes the other sword down to the ground, Ivar pointing his at Garret's adam's apple. Garret concedes. Ivar smiling,"I've just had more use of these swords lately." He laughing and patting Garret's shoulder and arms in friendship.The contest over, Vair applauds and then follows Ivar around wherever he goes. Ivar chuckles and jokes around with Vair, talking to him affectionately showering the child with much needed attention. The little boy looks up to his new hero friend.
Ivar goes to Cathbad's chamber and find the other Mystic Knights--Rohan, Angus and Deirdre there. Deirdre looks at Vair tagging along with a cheerful, Ivar and smiles at him, commenting,"I see you have a new royal escort around Kells!"Looking down at her child who now sticks with Ivar like glue. Cathbad gazes at Ivar and the child and thinks to himself,"Destiny awaits in the wings!" An image of a falcon feeding its opened-mouth chick, appearing in his mind.
Ivar discusses that when he was home he spoke to a Shamanka--a female shaman about the Lemurian Sky Lords. "Get this, she approached me calling me the Chosen One and knew that we had encountered the Lemurian Sky Lord. She saw all in her mind from the homeland, incredible! I was informed that MU --Lemuria was known as the Mother Land of Power, where all studies of psionic powers, sorcery and magickal skills originated on Earth. The Lemurian high priests had abilities that equaled Lugh or Dagda. They could shape-shift to any creature, move their bodies or objects over vast distances, could destroy entire armies with just the energy from their third-eye chakra, as they did when armies from Atlantis tried to over-run and invade Lemuria. The Lemurian high priests destroyed them by disrupting the soldiers' body chakras, then they just vanished! They could also harness the Earth's energies for their power usage. They were able to manifest anything, without any boundaries and yet they did not wage war on other nations. They kept their power in check. They prevented the development of weapons that could destroy the entire world! They knew that the continent was doomed to sink, so they made special libraries to store their knowledge for future generations--some in caves, crystals, underwater cities and in special amulets--keys 'psychic trigger'--stepping stones to other worlds both inner and outer. The keys of ancient wisdom were brought by the star people --hundreds of millions of years ago! I brought this Star Song Oracle in the form of amulet cards, Cathbad, I knew you'd want to see them. The Shamanka told me it could be used as a divination tool. There are twenty-two amulets teaching the way of theCIRCLE. All of the ancient wisdom are woven into all world cultures. The weavings of knowledge came from the sky kingdoms, then scattered around this world--Native Anerican, Aborigines, Tibetan, Mayan, the Orient. The ancient ways--each a fragment of the star-born,'Knowing and Wisdom'. When we find all the fragments, we will reconnect ourselves to the Great Circle of wisdom and Knowing creating a Rainbow Bridge--back to the sky kingdoms, learning our true ancestry. When we first settled here on our new home Earth we were not divided but honored all beings big and small as teachers, worthy of our attention and love.
We were light beings, then over the course of time, we moved into denser dimensions--matter existence--then we forgot our true heritage except from tales told as folk stories from many lands. Lands changed over time, sinking and rising of landmasses, bloodlines of people--carrying seeds of the stars in their bodies! They never worried about skin color, blood, language, their spiritual path--ways of loving, honoring the place inside where ancient bond of recognition lives."
Ivar showing the small circular, art-designed symbols to the Druid stating "Used as psychic triggers to ancient memories locked inside all of us. It will be interesting what you, me and the others can discover."
Cathbad fingers traced each card's symbols, with some level of recognition commenting to Ivar,"DAGDA! I didn't know these symbols came from Lemuria. We Druids have runes with some of these same 'gateway symbols','communication', 'revelation', 'stargate', 'self', 'mist', 'union', 'chaos' and 'void' they were handed down generation-to-generation how fascinating," as Cathbad leafs through the pages of the Star Song Oracle.
Ivar continues,"The shamanka also said the person who got the original symbols was struck by lightning out of a cloudless sky and was dead for a few minutes! The spirit left the body and met with Star Elders who then showed her the twenty-two symbols of Lemuria. Then somehow she was revived-- --no burn marks, nothing! She retained all of her memory including these symbols. She studied with a medicine woman for ten years, who taught her the significance of these symbols and then she went around teaching others, and wrote this book. I knew you'd want to study it first, then you can teach others." He handling the amulet cards, looking at them.
Angus, Rohan and Deirdre, started examining the amulet-symboled cards with curiosity, too. Deirdre shows Vair by picking him up to see them laid out on the table-top and comments!"Ivar always brings us new and exciting things to see and learn." Vair touches the cards then suddenly pulls out five symbols-- --out of the twenty-two layout. He points to each in order, then looks at his Mother, with probing eyes.
The princess didn't know how to respond, looking up at Cathbad, whose expression was of serious concern. With arched eyebrow, he examined Vair's selection and order, looking at each one he reads aloud each symbol,"Self, Mist, Adventure, Revelation and Web." Looking at Vair then Deirdre and speaks slowly, "Many decisions to be made about your destiny and what you decide will affect all of the world, not just Kells." His eyes returning to the chosen cards and an image in his mind forms... a bird chick with its nest rocking violently in the wind.
Ivar looks at Vair's selected cards and thinks to himself,"A revelation about Vair! Hmmm, maybe it has to do with the whereabouts of his father."
The floor of the throneroom is covered with a carpet of flowers and a floral ring decorated the throne of the fairy king of Tir na Nog. "Let's have a wonderful time, all will be merry and forget about the omens today. We shall hear from Iliana, who will play on her harp,"Londonderry Air" and a melody called, "Danny Boy"!What a title for a melody that we fairies composed a millenia ago, which humans of the future will think it came from their ancestors. I saw the Future, this becomes one of the most important songs from these lands, that will be heard and loved all over the world. Legends about human musicians will be found, who won our trust and help because of their musical abilities. These compositions are known to be learned from we fairies." The second melody is about the sweet fragrances of the fairy gardens in the Springtime..Aaah..."King Fin Varra nodding, closing his eyes with blissful memories.
Aideen flies in with a purple-blue-white, floral garland , wrapping it around the king's throne stating,"King Fin Varra, Prince Ivar has returned to Kells! This I heard from Rohan and Angus." The fairy throwing glances to him, which he exclaims,"Ooh,..it begins Aideen, a time of many surprises in the land of Kells! Princess Deirdre is about to begin her role to Destiny!" The fairy king rolling up his eyes and laughs heartily, which Aideen and the other Little People were curious about King Fin Varra's merriment,"Can we not see in the reflection poll what is to happen, my King?" A Red Cap asks the fairy king.
"Not this time, this is a surprise worth savoring, even for you. Ooh.. such surprises ahead! Can't wait to see Kells' faces!" King Fin Varra kicking up his heels on the throne with amusement over his face.
A bogie listening to the king talk about Kells decide he will go to Numain and Mider, hoping it will be better treated then it was an an informant to Queen Maeve. But when the bogie arrived at the secret hideaway of Numain's, Mider was outside his Chalice, and looked at it,"Your news is old! Numain and I have a few surprises for Kells ourselves and the Mystic Knights will never be the same."Mider walking around the chalice, then looking at Numain with such a malicious smile. He instructs the bogie to steal into the Castle of Kells and place a small, crystal-glass sculpture of a dragon near the window of Vair's bedroom. The bogie bounds off to do Numain's and Mider's bidding.
Back at Conchobar's Castle, the Royal Court notices Ivar has acquired a little shadow that seems to follow him everywhere. At the dining table, Vair left his seat several times and pushed himself onto Ivar's lap and the child would sit and listen to every word, with Deirdre and Nieve looking at each other mystified at Vair's behavior. Deirdre would have to get up and pick Vair up from Ivar's lap commenting,"Sorry Ivar." Ivar amused along with the other knights.
One of the chieftains putting down his wine goblet,"Guess Ivar's got a potential recruit for his training program!" He laughing along with the other members of Kells'military brass and the king.
Ivar describes Vair's reception of him upon arrival in Kells and imitating Vair's stance made the whole table roar with laughter, including Deirdre. Ivar winking at the child, once again prompting Vair to bolt his chair and sit on Ivar's lap looking deeply into his eyes. Ivar surrenders and Vair became the permanent fixture on his lap. Hours later, everyone content with food, drink, and exciting tales of intrigue from Ivar's homeland's uprising, all notice Vair has fallen asleep on Ivar's chest. He looks down and comments, "I must be warned next time I get too long-winded, I don't want my audience fading out on me!" He chuckles.
Nieve picks up Vair and tells Deirdre she'll put him to bed. Deirdre stroking the child's head kissing it,"I'll be up in a few minutes." As she watches Nieve take her sleeping child out of her room.
"Tomorrow you are going to start training on aerial surveillance," Ivar addressing the other Mystic Knights, which then Garret responds, "I'm afraid to ask Ivar, what you are planning for us now!" He raising his eyebrows at him with arms folded, rocking his chair back and forth on two legs.
Ivar narrows his eyes smirking,"Well Garret, you're going to live up to your name. Let just say, I'll be taking you to greater heights than you can imagine!" Ivar grinning like a Cheshire Cat.
"Uh-Oh!" Angus glances at Rohan and Deirdre, who looks at Ivar suspiciously.
Ivar fantasizing,"Hope it will be nice weather tomorrow. Wouldn't it be great if there was someone that could forecast our skies on a daily basis, then we could always make our plans accordingly, seeing everyone staring at him," but that will be so far in the future, I know..ah, we can only dream.."
"Not me, that would ruin everything. I'd have no reason to look forward to anything the next day. I look forward to a new day, not knowing what the day will bring. I live for surprise!" Angus nodding once at him.
"Then surprise you will be, Angus!" Ivar's eyes revealing mischievousness, which now worries Angus that when Ivar is in glee that means trouble for him ..big trouble and work.
