Chapter 4 - Haedal -2-

"Let's sort it out. Your name is Freya. You were lost in your family's Nomaath group and passing through it. Right?"

"네, 그게 맞는 것 같아요."

"Damn it. We talked for 30 minutes, and is this all what we have found? What language are you speaking?"

Haedal and freya sit together on the living room sofa. Freya still eats apples, and Haedal doesn't know what to do with unexpected visitor.

"제 가족에게 돌아가야 해요."

"You told you need to go back, right? No, Freya. Bears and wolves get rowdy during these frigid periods. Thus I think there's a storm coming soon."

"곰이랑 늑대 정도는 무섭지 않아요."

"No matter what you say, no, you don't even know where your family is right now. When spring comes in a few months, I'll find your family together."

"엄마가 보고 싶어요..."

"It'll be all right. You can use my bed until spring comes. I will sleep on the sofa."

One day, two days, three days... Over time, Haedal and Freya adjust to a new life. When the Haedal catches the salmon, Freya cooks. Freya is good at simple magic use. She lights up the fire with a simple magic group and sprinkle magic seasoning on the food to create the best evening. It was unthinkable for Haedal who only had grilled and steamed dishes.

"Hahaha! Freya, I don't know what I should be surprised. At the magic? Or the food?"

They both laughed.

One month have passed. Haedal went out early for hunting. In the house, Freya is reading a book.

Suddenly, Freya hears some sound outside.

"Freya! Freya!"

It was her family's voice. Freya rushed out of the house.

"Freya! Where are you? Freya!"

In the wild storm, Haedal barely shouts Freya's name. When Haedal came home, only the book Freya was reading was there.

Suddenly, Haedal heard human voice.

"Freya... Freya..."

Haedal rushes toward the origin of the sound.

"They are crows. They imitate human voice. They deceived Freya and took her to them."

Where Haedal arrived is the wide snow field. Storm still hits her face. Black crows are crying for death at the nearby forest. Haedal sees Freya, sitting and crying. Haedal sees bear. The bear which Haedal met at the river, is now trying to attack Freya.

Haedal rushed in front of Freya and blocks the bear.

"Stay back."

The bear growls. Haedal knows that bear won't give up.

They must fight.
