Then I shall provide incentive for her to cooperate. If she mislikes dealing with Arthur, she will find dealing with me a great deal moreso.
Understand that I am no bloodthirsty killer. When I go a-viking, it is for a purpose, not simply carnage for the sake of carnage. Those Fae who cower and flee before us will be left to do so. Only those who think to draw steel against my wolves need fear retaliation, as any warrior would understand.
This is the Law of any who would raid with me and to break it will mean the offender surrenders their share of the spoils, and will answer to me for it.
The Fae of these shires I burn will be the ones to carry my message to Queen Mab; she pays the Danegeld of whatever power or knowledge will help undo this calamity, or her kingdom becomes my hunting ground. A fair trade, I think.
