It’s morning. The sun has risen early - my kingdom is in the blaze of an incredible summer - a summer of clear blue skies and burgeoning crops, of lazy days and long evenings. I’m lying in bed, taking it all in. One of my warriors is lying at my side. I turn onto my elbow to study the lines of his face, taking every perfect detail in. I touch his cheek with my hand, and even in his sleep he shifts to kiss my palm.
I know that he would lay down his life for me. They all would. That scares me. It’s a hell of a responsibility, even when you call it destiny. It scares me to be so close to all of them, and I’m always terrified that one day I might lose them. But I guess that’s the price you pay.
“Dróttning,” he murmurs sleepily. “Is it time for us to rise now?”
I lean down to kiss him on his soft mouth. “Not yet,” I whisper. “Go back to sleep.”
He makes a soft, deep sound, and rolls over, wrapping his arms around me.
“Yes, dróttning,” he whispers into my hair. I close my eyes. That word still echoes in my dreams, the way that it always has, for my whole life. But the difference is that it makes sense to me now, that I no longer wake up feeling like I ought to be in a different place, in a different life.
I’ve finally come home.
