"You dirty bastards," Finan shouts. "Come on, lord. Get his shield! Come on! Christ, if you want to play that game." Althea and her sons stand with Sihtric as they watch the fight in silence.

"You are happy with this, Ragnar? You believe this to be a fair fight!" Beocca shouts angrily.

"It's a fight." Ragnar said stiffly.

"He deserves it, kill him! Take his balls!" Brida shouts.

"Take his legs off Uhtred, lord here. His shoulder!" Uhtred starts to kick Bloodhair's ass making Finan shout happily. "Yes, lord!" Uhtred goes to kill him when Ragnar harshly shoves the man down.

"It's over."

"No, it's not over until he's dead." Bloodhair screams as he stands up.

"I say it is over."

"I demand my woman." Bloodhair shouts. Sihtric places a hand on her lower back to soothe her growing anxiety.

"I will not lose one single man before the true battle has begun."

"It was to the death." Uhtred claims.

"If you disagree with me then fight me." Ragnar snapped and moved to Uhtred.

"Kill him, Ragnar. And be done with it." Brida snarled with anger.

"It is over. It is done, take what belongs to you. Take your witch." Ragnar says and Bloodhair seethes in anger.

"She belongs to me!" Bloodhair screams childishly.

"I shall see you across the battlefield, no doubt. I will kill you." Ragnar warned.

"Leave while you're still alive. Alfred needs his ass to be wiped." Brida taunted but Uhtred did not reply as they followed Uhtred to the horses. Althea glared at the woman as Sihtric helped their sons on their horses.

"Enjoy your prize." Cnut mocked as Uhtred cut Skade's bindings and Uhtred shoved the man.

"You ride with me now." Uhtred helps Skade on her horse.

"Skade, he must remain cursed, it is your duty!" Bloodhair demands.

"He has defeated you, twice over. I belong to Uhtred now." Skade claimed with a wicked smile and looked her way with her cold eyes. Althea grimaced at the look and felt Sihtric reach out, from his place on his horse, to rub her thigh.

"I've tasted your blood! What you see is mine! Ragnar, he cannot be allowed to leave." Bloodhair demands.

"I didn't mean to miss, next time I won't." Brida threatened and shot her a glare.

"The gates, now. Let us be rid of them." The group rode off into the snowy terrain, she rode next to Sihtric as Finan and Skade flanked Uhtred's horse.
