Not Too Late

To New Lands

Yn's POV

As I open the door to the Wessex throne room I spot vikings. I quickly drop my bag and pull out both of my swords. I walk up and and ready myself for executions when Alfred stops me. "Yn" by that point my swords are at the two vikings throats. I look to Alfred with confusion on my face. "What is a viking doing on Christian land King Alfred?" "Put it down" I turn to the blonde viking on the left of me. I feel the metal on the axe up against my neck. The nerve this viking has. I place my sword that was on her neck back in its spot on my back before I grip the end of the axe and yank it out of her hand. I throw it in the air before catching the handle and placing it on her neck.

I smile wickedly at her as everyone in the room is silent. "Don't even kid yourself viking" "put the weapons down Yn they come in peace" I hesitate before I roll my eyes. I place my other sword in its place on my back and throw the axe on the ground. I step back and bow my head slightly at Alfred. "I apologize for my entrance King Alfred" "I would expect nothing less but may I introduce you to Ubbe Lothbrok and his wife Torvi" I whip my head at Ubbe. "A Lothbrok? On Christian land? And what is it that you seek?" "We seek land" "upon christian soil? why not use your own?"

I glance at Alfred and he gives me a  look. "As you may have heard Bjorn is King of Kattegat and I would like to follow in Ragnar's original footsteps which is farming" I nod my head in understanding. I straighten up and look to Alfred. "Since these vikings are no threat shall I go?" "Who are you? You certainly do not look like a Christian" I look at the blonde who held an axe to my throat. I smile creeps onto my face. "I am the one people whisper about. I am much more known then Ragnar himself" Ubbe and Torvi look at each other in curiosity. "This is Yn, the one who brings death wherever she goes"

"You are what people call the goddess of darkness" I raise my eyebrows. "That's a first I've heard" As Alfred opens his mouth Judith comes running in and hugs me tight. "You're back! For how long?" "Not long mother" Her mood changes instantly. "What do you mean not long? She just got here" "she'll be heading to Kattegat with Ubbe and Torvi" I give Alfred a threatening look. "Why would I go to Viking lands?" "They have informed me that Bjorn requires your presence"

"Those weren't my original terms-" "You will not fight me on this! I am still a King and you will respect me, this situation changes nothing" I give him a silent glare before speaking. "I will not fight with them, you hear me? I am one with myself, I follow my orders" He starts walking up to me. He stands right in my face. "You will follow my orders" "and if I don't?"

He slaps me fair across my face that it echoes within the walls of the room. The room is silent that you can hear a pin drop. I straighten up and grit my teeth. "This deal will be finished when I'm done with the vikings and I will notify King Oleg" "No Yn wait-" " I help you willingly King Alfred, all I have done is help you and yet you hit me?" Regret crosses his face as I look at him expressionlessly. "I thought you were the better king but maybe I was wrong" I face my body towards Ubbe. "If we are going to Kattegat we must hurry no?" "You would like to leave now?" "Unless you would want me to travel myself to which I would not be opposed to" I give Judith a quick hug. "Right we're coming"

"I hope your manner will change when I return King Alfred" "How dare you-" "Choose your next words wisely as they could potentially be your last and I would doubt my word King Alfred" He shuts up and takes a step back. "I won't wait for anyone so hurry up" I head on out of the throne room picking up my bag along the way. How dare he hit me. Maybe all kings are the same. I start heading to the beach when I see many men. I pull out my swords. "Get in the boat!" The men just look at me and laugh. "How about you come here pretty lady" One man approaches me and I don't hesitate to cut his head off. They all freeze on spot.

"Get in the boat .... Please" I give them a quick smile then I hear Torvi and Ubbe approaching. "It's okay everyone just get in the boat and get ready to set sail" the men start moving. I put my swords in the slots on my back. "Did you have to kill him?" I look at Torvi before looking at the headless man on the ground. "I didn't earn my name by being nice" "I don't fear you, no matter what anyone says" I look her up and down and admire her courage. "Then you're severely stupid" 

I set myself up at the end of the boat and await to set sail.
