As a boy, Rodrick the Bold had loved Christmas Tide. His mum would decorate their little home with evergreens and holly. She would make special breads and sweet cakes, the scents alone enough to make a little boy’s mouth water with anticipation.
On a special night, they would walk to the MacElroy keep and watch the Yule log — carved by their chief and his brothers — being lit. The chief’s wife would give each of the children a small gift. The Christmas Tide of his eighth year, he was given a carving of a horse. He still had that little toy, tucked away in a small box he now kept hidden under a floorboard in the armory at the Mackintosh and McLaren keep.
He was all of nine when he lost his parents and sister to the ague. ’Twas an illness that swept through the MacElroy clan, leaving very few survivors. ’Twas the single most devastating event of his life, and one he never truly recovered from.
