I pull my most gruesome faces after her. Thaw-Wielder thuds onto my shoulder. Just cos Vole’s chief prentice, don’t mean she’s the boss of me, I tell her, stooping to grab the polar dog carcass. It drags heavily along the icy deck, a trail of blood slugging from the arrow-wound. Above me, crew scuttle like spiders in the rigging, unfurling a huge net to keep enemies from boarding.
My hawk rubs her feathers under my chin. Leave chores, play! Fly!
I chuckle and stroke her black wing tips. But if I don’t do Vole’s bleeding bidding she’ll spill, and I like being in Grandma’s good books too much to mess up now.
Thaw-Wielder jostles her wings in disappointment. Sorry, Thaw-beast. I put her to nest in the Hoodwink, before scuffing off to fetch the medsins.
Before I get below decks Sparrow’s voice rings out. The whales answer him, and Vole starts singing with them, to wind the protection tighter around us.
I wish I’d thought to ask Da what the old song means. I’ve got to work it out – cos the ice, the terrodyls, Stag, the polar dog attack – they’ve all got me feeling like things ent right, like there’s a stain spreading over Trianukka. And maybe, if I can find them Opals, they’ll lead me to Da.
