"arriving in...5...4...3...2...1..."
And we get spat out on to the grass.
"Resources low..." Appears in front of me.
I manage to keep my balance with the suit on, but Robert and the kids are blown on the ground. They sit there for a moment and then get up and come over to me
"Woah!!!" shouts Jack as he is the first one to run to me. Emily and Robert come over in silence, still quite confused
"So what did you say about girls and quantum physics?" I say as I open up my helmet and wink at him
"Respect mum, respect... "he says as he looks around
"I thought you were joking," Roberts says
"Me too," says Emily
"Well, next time you should believe me, no matter how crazy I sound..."
"I thought we were just dressing up for fun... Where are we?"Says Emily.
I look around and I immediately recognise the place from my hunting trips out into the forest.
"We are not too far from the village, come, this way before it gets dark..."
I start walking towards the village and everyone follows me. We soon come out of the woods and see several huts in front of us. People start to notice us as we get closer. Some recognise me and smile and some give us a scary glare...
Suddenly little Inga runs out. She stops and takes a good look at me. Her eyes widen as she realises it's me. she runs to me and throws herself at me shouting
"Beth! Beth! You are back!"
I give her a hug and say
"It's just for a visit, where is Frida?"
"They are all in the main hall, we are celebrating Ragda's wedding with Gertrud!"
"Are they?"
"Yes! I will run and let them know you are coming!" And she runs off my family turns to me and surprised Jack says
"Wow, how did you learn Vickingian mum?
I turn to Robert and say
"There is a wedding going on...You should know that there might be some trouble... Ragda, the groom sort of proposed to me, several times and I continuously refused him, of course, and told him that I am already married... But he is a very scary and stubborn man... and a friend of mine had to fight him and pretend that he is engaged with me, so he would leave me alone... I am not sure how he is going to react when he sees me..."
"Oh, ok..."
"Also, can you all please show me what you have in your pockets?"
"Why?"
"We are going to a wedding, we need to bring a gift..."
"I have my wallet, my keys, my hone... some chewing gum..."Robert says
"I have a packet of tissues and a lip balm..." says Emily
"I have some lego... cereal bar... a toy car and a compass... Oh, here is the supersonic head hog, I was looking for it..." says Jack
"Ok, I will take the gum, lip balm, tissues and the toy car"
As we arrive at the Great Hall, the party is in full force. As I enter and the Jarl notices me, he orders for the music to stop.
"You guys stay here and don't touch anything..." I whisper as I walk to the main table and bow before the Jarl
"Beth! What brings you back to our tribe?"
