“How far along is the woman?”

“Six weeks.”

“The Æsir Vár is working?”

Spider nodded.

The Council discussed among themselves. The Chief of the Elves finally nodded and turned to Spider, “Our reports confirm that Fála will reach them in five days.”

“Five?! But...”

The Chief raised her hand, “Our ruse will gain us another three days. Raven must bring the woman to the threshold of the Heilagr Jǫrđ Fjǫr in seven days’ time.”

Spider opened her mouth to speak but the Council rose as one and addressed her, “Dally here no more, Spider. Or the world will be doomed.”
