City districts Nordnes (peninsula bit to the left), Vågen (smaller peninsula-ish quay area less to the left), and Skuteviken (area in the dip between the forested slopes). Laksevåg and Gravdal across the fjord to the left, and island of Askøy to the right.

Jour 3 - Bergen

Aujourd'hui, c'est la journée de l'eau. Au programme : piscine et bateau, tout ce que j'aime 😍

Après le petit dej à l'appart, on part donc en direction de la piscine (Nordnes seawater pool), et pas n'importe laquelle : une piscine remplie avec l'eau des fjords et chauffée à 29,5°. Une immense baignoire finalement. 😎

Il y a aussi un grand bassin, ou plutôt une ligne délimitant la zone de baignade dans l'eau noire des fjords ! Cette fois-ci elle est un peu plus froide, environ 15°C ! Je me suis baignée quelques secondes, peut-être 2 minutes cumulées sur les deux fois où j'y suis allée et Antoine a trempé un doigt de pied avant de s'empresser de retourner dans notre baignoire géante 😋

Entre ces deux ploufs, passage obligé par le sauna, on rappelle quand même qu'on est dans un pays nordique !

Nous achetons un petit sandwich, déposons nos affaires à l'appart et on repart sur le port pour monter à bord de notre bateau de croisière 🛥️

Attack on Donat

"We are not a force to be trifled with. We are not heathens, we are not uncultured, we are not empty. We are a nation under the stars, given their gift; our people borne by the deep earth, the sea, united by the sky. We trust no spirits, no gods; nobody but ourselves, the ground below us, and the sky above. Our language is among the most ancient in Ulina. Our ways are among the most sustainable. We will outlive you.

"Nan-kari'o sasamre en nanne krikn'a kard gare kitinni mas. Or, let me say it in a language you understand:

"Your spirits did not save them."

-Hirasin Daganed

After the delivery of this short speech, an Effective long-range stealth bomber flew low overhead, clearly visible. The pilot has been publicly identified as Sonha Herv, a decorated pilot with the Nordne Navy, and congratulated. A successful firebomb on the Donatese town of Rut was officially reported soon afterward.

Hienojen maisemien siivittämänä päätettiin maanantain ajot pieneen Nordnes -kylään. Yhdet pakit saatiin loppumatkasta kun yritettiin saada meille majoitusta. Fully booked totesi paikallinen herra ränsistyneen talon oven raosta. Mutta saatiin oikein hyvä mökkimajoitus Nordes Camping leirintäalueelta. Käytiin iltalenkillä keräämässä hienoja kiviä ja heittelemässä lukkoja. Gruce tietenkin menossa mukana 💙

"Aww, Hirasin, a candlelit evening? I never thought you'd ever do something so romantic." Darhav smirks, satisfied to be the first to flirt for once.

"That's not what I... well, I'll take it." Hirasin misses the joke. The power is out in the city, a relay downed by the bombings. Before realizing it, Hirasin asks, "What do you know about the Old Way?"

Darhav falters. They thought this would be a relaxed evening... Stars know they need one, after another day of report after report from the coast: Unit dead. Unit dead. Ship sunk. Another Five lost. The only successful movement, a careless airstrike personally ordered by Hirasin herself. A fluke.

"Basically nothing. I know that there was a crazy old storyteller in Jemi that said Jeram killed a god once." They look at the flame of the candle for a moment, make it dance a moment, and look back at Hirasin. "But there are no gods in Nordgis."

Hirasin looks away. "Yeah. No gods in Nordgis."

"But that's false, isn't it?" False: Antferamni, in Nordsang. Long ago, it meant peaceless. Darhav narrows their eyes harder than usual.

Hirasin says nothing.

"Because that mask you have in your pocket now," continues Darhav. "Open your suit, I know it's there."

"That won't be necessary. Yes, it's there. I didn't think you would know about vessel magic, Darhav."

"We're at war with the starsdamned State Union, Hirasin. We've worked with a Nordne vjed'uma. You don't really think this little of me, do you?"

Hirasin silently curses Kosuj. Darhav hasn't been this lucid with her in months. Kosuj whispers an apology into Hirasin's mind, something about the veil becoming thicker. Aloud, she answers, "No, I… No. I'm just tired. I'm sorry. Yes, it's about time I tell you."

"Yes, it really is. I know you've done something strange to me, Hirasin. Not that I mind it. If anything, you've opened my mind and my eyes. But before, I hated you. Now..." Something strange indeed. Darhav blushes without realizing.

An advantage, thinks Hirasin, before she silently curses herself too. How callous she's become. "Yes, I have. I have. But this isn't Slavic vessel magic. And that vjed'uma we worked with... not quite."

"What the hell are you talking about, Hirasin? Speak plain for once. You were able to grant kjari Vilenka that." The candle-flames rise with Darhav's temper, and they exhale, letting them down again. Wouldn't want them to burn out early.

Hirasin looks Darhav in the eye for the first time tonight. "Don't give her that. I lost my temper. Don't let me lose it again."

"Speak, Hirasin. I listen." Darhav holds the candlelight still.

"Yes. Okay. Okay. There are gods in Nordgis. Not many.

"In the Old Way, the people served the gods. The Nordne vjed'uma we worked with then, served one too. I know not which. I don't even know how many there are. I don't care to ask. Don't know if they even know." Kosuj assures her that they don't.

"Ask who? Who knows?" interjects Darhav.

Hirasin fixes her gaze on the table. "I am in a pact with a god named Kosuj. And they don't know. Knowing isn't their strong suit. They don't really need to, after all; it is outside their domain.

"Long ago, in the Outerlands, there was a city that served these gods. Our ancestors."

Darhav frowns. "But nothing is left in the Outerlands."

"Yes. And that is why Sadiv thought it better to keep the Old Way buried."

Darhav understands. What happened there? "How long..." Darhav trails off, then tries again. "How long?"

"The Old Way has been dead for hundreds of years. First with the death of the Outerlands, then with Sadiv. I've been working on this for years. There was a lot to learn. Convergence points, the veil, vessels... Whether vessels even work is still to be seen." Hirasin glances at Darhav.

Fear flashes in Darhav's eyes. "You're going to go insane?"

Hirasin lifts a hand to her face. "Stars, no. I'm doing my best not to. I promise, what you've seen of Kosuj is all I have done. This is a new frontier, here."

"Why?" The short sentence hangs in the air for a moment longer than it filled.

Hirasin takes a deep breath before beginning. "Nordgis is behind. Our country was falling into poverty and irrelevance before Ikaroa came to power in Korlan. I took it as an opportunity. I didn't think it would end up like this... but I guess I should have seen it coming. I was drunk on what Kosuj gave me. A breakthrough, coinciding with an opening... Probably the closest to madness I've been."

"And me? You could have banished me like the rest. You could have killed me then, even, probably with little more than a word."

"But I wouldn't. Half because your people would be at my throat in an instant. The other half..." Hirasin takes a deep breath. "I never hated you, Darhav. I've always admired you. The people love you, and you're the best Sornsasamsir the world has seen in decades. Centuries, even. You're incredible. I've always thought so."

Darhav blushes. "And that's why you voted to have me thrown from the Council?" They raise an eyebrow, still pink.

"I did that because I was afraid you were better than me. And also because that was a stupid move of you. Shutting down the capital, Darhav? Really? What do they say? Rare Darhav L?"

Darhav laughs uneasily. "Yeah, okay. That was stupid. I let my temper get the better of me. Something I've been better with, working with you, actually."

Hirasin ignores the compliment. "So there it is. That's all of it. I'm sorry for keeping it from you, and I'm sorry for... bewitching you." She closes her eyes and sighs.

"Thank you, Hirasin. It brings me peace to hear truth." Feram'a ba'i fer'o nare. Truth, feram, and peace, fer, sharing a root in the Northern tongue.

Darhav begins to stand, but Hirasin grabs their hand. It is hot in hers, the hot blood of a Gadrudin running through Darhav's veins.

"Please, don't go. Stay with me." She almost calls on Kosuj for the command to stick. Almost.

"Okay." Darhav sits back down, leaving their hand on the table in Hirasin's. "I stay."

They sit in silence a minute, then two, then four, as time falls away. They watch the candles burn down to the table together, Darhav's left hand in Hirasin's right. Hot skin against cool.

One wick is left, sputtering in the puddle of melted wax left on the tabletop. Hirasin opens her mouth, closes it again. When she tries again, all she manages is a whisper: "Darhav'a, na'a ba'toj ektere ka?" Darhav, will you leave me?

The wick burns out. In its place Darhav lights a tiny piece of starlight, the gift to their people long ago. Spoils of a dead god for the survival of their ancestors.

"Renro." I will not.

A clock chimes midnight.
