Averaging Ragnar's Death

Chapter 3: Hearing Of Ragnar's Death

Torvi's Point Of View
Walking around my brother's room I grabbed all of his dirty laundry, i grabbed the stuff off of the back of his chair only to find a letter sitting on the table with the name Bjorn Ironside on it grabbing the letter I started reading wanting to know why he would write now it's been two years since we've been gone.

Dear King Harald,
I write this letter to you to tell you that my father was killed by two of the Kings in England I'm writing to you to ask if you and your people would like to join my family and people in averaging my fathers death in England. Look I know that our family's have never been the same since Torvi left me one night not telling anyone where she was going you have no idea how bad the past two years of my life have been Harald and I just want you to tell her that I still love her and my children if you see her again. The main reasoning for you to come and help average the death of Ragnar Lothbrok was because you and your family will always be apart of my family even if I never get to see my children again, also if you do know where Torvi is can you tell her that I'll never be able to move on from her because she is the love of my life and I don't want too and hopefully she still loves me enough to come to England or even Kattegat to see me if only for one last time. But anyways I hope that you and your men will becoming to England with my people,to avenge my father the first man to travel west, a man who went from a farmer to an Earl then became a King.
From Bjorn Ironside

I read the letter over and over again till someone walked in but even then all I did was read over the letter that Bjorn sent to Harald with tears running down my cheeks and onto the letter.

"Princess Torvi what is wrong? Why are you crying do you want me to get one of your brothers?" The slave asked me and thinking about it I didn't want to see my brothers nor anyone else all I wanted to do was have a swim in the river, maybe that will calm me down enough to start packing six bags for England.

"No im fine thank you, but if any one ask where I've gone just tell them that I went to the lake and that I'll be back in an hour or so." I told the slave as I walked out of Harald's room and out of the palace and towards the lake.

Sitting in the lake I think about my life in Kattegat, how I left because of Porunn she would always hang around Bjorn like a bear to honey and one day she poured a whole jug of milk all over me and then soon she started talking to me about how Bjorn should of married someone who was worthy of him and I was not that someone in many of the people of Kattegat's eyes and then when I was with our first child and we told everyone after Bjorn left she slapped me across the face about six times before I had finally had enough and pushed her to the ground, it only got worse from there on out but I never said anything because she had lived in Kattegat her whole life while I had not, till one day I got so sick of it that I wrote Bjorn a letter telling him that I had to go and then I left with all of my stuff and all of my children and little Ragnar who I didn't know about at the time and to this day Bjorn doesn't know about him either but that's all going to change because where all going to avenge Ragnar's death because not only was Ragnar a father figure to me but he was my children's grandfather, so where going and we may end up staying in Kattegat by the end of this trip but only the Gods.

Harald's Point Of View
"Where is my sister?" I asked, all of the slaves who where in my room cleaning something.

"She was reading something when I came in and then she told me to tell anyone who asked that she was going for a swim at the lake and would be back in one hour." The slave said to me while looking at the floor, I guess that's what there told to do.

"Where is the letter that she was reading?" I asked and the same slave answered again.

"It's the letter that is sitting on your bed." She told me before going back to work, walking over to my bed I saw the letter from Bjorn sitting there and knowing that the letter is about Ragnar's death and how much Bjorn's been missing Torvi and his children is going to hit her so hard so I just say,
