Poor Elfhelm, this is a perilous quest indeed, but it looks as if it might be a fascinating one.

Ah, poor Elfhelm, chewed out by his lost love first, and by his father second. I know that clan loyalties and obligations are powerful, but my heart goes out to him nonetheless. Secondly, of course, it goes out to Theodred...

What a trap, and nice play on the possible political situations.

Author Reply: Oh, don't worry about Elfhelm! If you've read the subtitle of the story, you can see that things will turn out quite well for him. ;)

Between Idis and Hengist, there wasn't a lot of Elfhelm left to go to the Golden Hall! And what there was, probably found the idea of a perilous quest to be the least of several evils!

But Grima is well on the way to total scuzziness. And Theodred seems sadly helpless against him. (I'm glad to know that Grima will get his comeuppance - although not soon enough for Theodred.)

I'm a bit concerned about some of these characters - especially the females. Because they definitely weren't around when the Three Hunters made their appearance. I suppose Idis could just have been elsewhere - but Aud? And Aelfgifu?

I doubt Elfhelm knows what he's getting himself into here. But at least I know he gets the girl! (That'll please his father. Probably.)

Author Reply: I see you've found out about Aud's fate already. It's based on a Viking legend, by which the entire character was inspired in the first place. Aelfgifu's fate is still not decided. Idis went home to Strowburg, with hubby and the kiddies.
