- "The web of lies became impassable, the web of misguidance became distracting. There is only way I can discover the truth of the happenings that started evolving long before Stangard fell. It is clear what I have to do. " - Cynebur said to her sisters as packing her bags. The newborn was in sisters arms sleeping and the joy filled the family that was so deep rooted in life of Wildermore.
- "I know you have your path, but return safely, our dearest sister." - other one said and her husband came inside also.
- "I have saddled the steed, Thunor's offspring, Freyth. Are you sure you dont want me to come also? At least part of the way?" - he asked with worry in his eyes.
Cynebur shook her head as fastening the leather binding at her armor, younger sister came to help her to fasten the ones on her further back.
- "I better travel alone, and you will be needed here. I need you to promise you will keep my sisters safe, you and others that swore to serve my family in better or worse. You are binded with duty and love, but others i fear matter of coin will turn their heart, so raisen their wages, so their heart are kinder to us. Our family lasted for so long, from the days when we rode from north and further, following Eorl the Young as old stories tell. I dont want my deeds ruin this, I dont want my ill fate harm my family." - she looks to her sister and nephews, then sister husband.
- "Only Bema knows what is our path, so sister fight true, with honor in your heart." older sisters with babe in her arms said and embraced her tightly. Cynebur kisses them both with tears in her eyes.
- "We decided on the name..she will be named Cynebur, so she is bold and true like you are, my sister." - her sister said with tears in her eyes.
Cynebur puts the hand on childs forehead gently and closes her eyes.
- "May Wyrd give you good fate, May Folde give you health and love, may Bema give you courage, my dear child." - then adds - "May my name not bring you ill fortune, may my deeds make you proud. " -
All the sisters embraced together and cried as they knew there is new turn in their lives and nothing will be the same.
- "When you reach Eorlsmead, my wives sister, raise a sword to the North, where our ancestors lived, call upon their justice, courage and strength, that brought Eorl the Young on dark hour amids the death." - her sisters husband said with pride.
- "I will, we are of old kind, no treachery will pass my eyes, I will find the truth of events that passed and seems to be forgotten. I regret I leave one I cared for so much, my captain..friend, but i know his fate is turning and that his fate is not tied to mine. Now I know." - Cynebur said with clear regret, then pulled the bag with rations and equipment and went out as fast as she could so she had no change in mind.
The third dawn after leaving farmsteads.
The dawn was raising trough mist over Wailing hills when she crossed the bridge that barely stood there in one peace. Cynebur drawed her sword as facing the north and closed her eyes with sword raised. After moment of silence and with firm cold gaze in blue eyes, shieldmaiden continued trough lands that didnt belong to Eorlingas anymore.
