Chapter 85 - The Wielder of ADG and His Children

" Melou, where was it you said you saw them? " said Nungal.

" Right over here " said Melou.

Melou was leading his master and the other squires to a lake near Camelot where he said he saw some people and they were all going to see if these people needed some help, after having cleared some trees, the master and his squires come across a man with five children all of them sitting around a campfire cooking a deer.

Nungal felt no hostility but he was still on his guard.

" There is no need for us to fight, " said the man.

Nungal looked at the man, Nungal could see that there really was no need to worry, so he and his squires joined the man and the children, Nungal found out that the man was called Svipdagr, wielder of Annað Dreki Gram and slayer of Andvari, with Svipdagr was his five adopted children Svanhild, Sigmund, Gunther, Aslaug and Gurth.

Prince Eliwlod, Melou and Melehan got along well with the other children and while the children were playing the two men had a talk.

" So, what is your question? " asked Svipdagr.

Nungal looked at Svipdagr with an expression of " How did you know I had a question? "

" We warriors become well adapted to the expression of others, so we can tell when someone has it out for us " said Svipdagr with a smile, Nungal smiled as well.

" Well…. how can I best raise my squires?... " said Nungal with a complicated tone.

Svipdagr looked at Nungal.

" If I am not mistaken, you were once a squire yourself? " said Svipdagr.

" Yes, but I was wild and it was my master who kept me in place, I am not sure how to do this whole master and squire thing… " said Nungal yet again with all his emotions in a storm.

" I would say that you are doing well so far "

" I would say that I have been lucky, when I was a squire I used to fight side by side with my master…. but my squires are human, they don't have the things I had and have….. they can easily die… "

Svipdagr yet again looked at Nungal.

" You know, none of my children are fully human, so I really can't put myself in your shoes, but, I can say this much - Svipdagr was now looking at the children - I really can't tell a single difference between them "

Nungal was now also looking at the children and saw that the children were running together, playing together and having fun together, like Svipdagr, Nungal could also not see a difference.

" Oh deer, the deer is getting overcooked " said Svipdagr who with the help of Nungal prepared the deer and then all of them enjoyed a meal together.

After everyone had eaten, Svipdagr said

" We must be going now, my wife-and the children's mother await us, Menglöð quickly gets worried when the children and I are gone for too long "

Svipdagr and Nungal now shock hands.

" Thank you, " said Nungal.

" If you want my advice, seek out your master, tell him how you feel, after all, he has known you since you were a boy "

Nungal smiled and nodded his head.

Svipdagr and his children now turned into dust and vanished.

" Master, are you okay? " asked Prince Eliwlod.

Nungal looked at the concerned looks of his squires, Nungal patted all their heads while saying

" Let us go home "

At the Morrigan's cave.

" Hey bro, why do you think that there was no fight in this story? " asked Ebliu

" I believe that the writer just got lazy " replied Ibic

....

" Now listen here you little shits "
