The Prince’s Crown: Chapter Two
Fantasy/Romance. Forseti finds himself sick and abed with a fever, besieged by strange dreams.
Rated E, M/M. In Victorian England, a young and sickly Norwegian immigrant, Ansgar “Forseti” Borson, quarrels with his father over what his future is to be.
The man is stern, cold, and distant, and never seems satisfied with anything Forseti pursues, seems disappointed with every facet of him and yet will never explain why. In secret, Forseti escapes these punishing expectations by dedicating himself to something very unorthodox indeed: magic.
Forseti, called the western winds in a hundred sing-song voices. Forseti, Forseti, Forseti! Play with us! Dance with us among the leaves!
Forseti danced not.
Standing in a clearing, his bare feet settled in the fallen blossoms that carpeted the grass, he surveyed the wood about him, from the crystal clear waters of the spring to his side to the various brambles and bushes ripe with fruit to the tall trees towering above his head.
