Chapter 29: The final stage
Skadra was a shy girl and quiet girl. Her skin was glacial blue like many Ice Giants, and her snow-white shoulder-length hair was like a soft frost. She wore a white garment that wrapped around her small frame.
When Thrymara introduced Skadra to me, I noticed she was painfully shy.
She says very little words and kept mostly to herself. Inorder to boost her confidence, she hide her face in a mask.
Thrymara explained to me that her daughter has such great potentials but she was worried about her social life.
Skadra must toughened up as the future heiress of the Ice giants. By exploring the world, and training under me, Thrymara believed she’ll get stronger.
That was a lot of expectations laid on my ten years old self. I tried to decline as politely as I could but Thrymara eventually had her way.
In exchange for taking her daughter in, she formed a future alliance between me and the Ice Giants.
