three years later
A dane ship sails to a town in Mercia, and at the front stands Uhtred. They reach land and seek to defend the nearby village, all while they talk and tease one another lightly.
Currently, the two targets are Sihtric and Finan.
"She likes me, I swear." Sihtric defends as Uhtred smiles.
"She would."
"Both of you should just kiss her." Uhtred stated Sihtric stuttered in shock while Finan avoided looking at Uhtred in shame.
"She is your woman, lord." Finan said ignoring the feelings he had for her.
"Yes, she is also Gisela's woman. She loves you both, so kiss her." Sihtric blushes at the remark while Clapa laughs and smacks his back.
"I wish to marry her in the ways of our Gods," Sihtric confesses, Finan paused briefly and turned to Uhtred. "Finan could even marry her in the Christian way." Finan rubbed his beard hoping to hide the redness blooming on his cheeks.
"You have to be able to speak to her first, boy." Clapa said teasingly, it was true that in the three years, she'd been in Coccham he hadn't been able to speak more than a few sentences to her. She's too pretty and he can't concentrate.
"And I wish you to kill Danes and survive the night," Uhtred said in a bored tone. "We're the only chance the villagers have." In the distance, women scream leading them to crouch in the bushes to look.
"They have begun." Uhtred sends Finan and Clapa ahead to scout the area, and Clapa kills the older man at the campfire. Finan puts his sword to the younger man in warning before speaking.
"If you wish to live, boy, take your hand away from your sword." The boy goes to do as ordered before aiming for the Irishman, but Finan kills him immediately.
"There will be no more than thirty raiders. We hide and we wait. We attack on my command, not before." Uhtred demands and walks past Finan.
"You all heard the lord, we find cover." Finan yells out and by the cover that meant hiding behind trees.
"Now." Uhtred whispers once the group of villagers and Danes come into view.
"We kill every bastard one of them!" After fighting the Danes the women scream and run, they kill all but one of the men.
"Finan, hang three of the dead from the trees visible from the river." Finan nods and grabs a man from the ground.
