Ch 118: That night
Thora was pleased that her brother finally opened the door to show his face and speak to her. Yet when Ketil asked her for help, she did come to fear it being a matter his own hands may have caused or ended up involved in an unwell situation.
The two sit on the bed for a quiet time when the feeling is like they have been that way forever. The sister saw it best for her to end this and be the first to speak when able to get her brother to open his room door.
"Brother what is it that you need my help with is it to be something bad that you may have done or…"
"No! I did nothing, it was all him, he and that….." Ketil stops himself from saying anything more as afraid to speak about that creature that would somehow summon it.
Thora could see the clear fear in her brother who could not help it as his body hadn't been able to control the shanking.
