Description
A wedding turning into a battle a feast converted to a slaughter a Viking band on the run
Julia stood barefoot in the mud in front of the doors of the great hall in Dubh Linn Through the thin veil that covered her face she could see Princess Ailbi shivering in the cold spring air It would soon be warm enough
The doors opened slowly inwards by somebody not visible from the outside Torches fluttered in the gloom inside and between light and shadows there were figures Unmoving waiting Like a gathering of cats waiting for a sparrow Ailbi took a hesitant step then another She straightened her back and strode into the main hall As terrified and proud as only a princess can be
Julia followed her To the left her Irish companion pulled a foot up from the mud with a squelch Soon there were similar noises behind her as ten bridesmaids took their first steps towards the door to Torgilss great hall
Inside Julia felt the warmth from the fireplace and the torches And the cold from the men waiting for them The enemy Fear and anticipation sent a shiver through her body The sudden movement drew many eyes to her From behind her veil Julia studied their faces Closest to her farthest from the throne stood half a dozen tall men with broad shoulders mighty fists and golden rings and bracelets They were veteran warriors probably of Torgilss hird
The bridesmaids were surrounded They were bait The trap was set
