Brida had grown up with you, known her since she was a child, both of you taken in by Ragnar the Fearless. You remained together through everything, even the terrible fire that had been set and killed almost everyone, except for the two of you. Uhtred & Ragnar the Younger were said to have escaped as well, though you weren’t sure were.

Brida could tell you were shaken by the fire, as was she, but she knew she needed to remain strong. She pulled you along, forcing your gaze away from the fire.
