Night fell quickly as Dane and Saxon played games and drank together for the very first time, Ingrid and Ragnar grew more unsteady on their feet as they stood swaying from side to side with an arm wrapped around one another.
Uhtred and Brida sat watching them in laughter as the two fumbled their words and nearly tripped over their own feet.
"And now for the main event!" Ragnar shouted as he raised his cup in the air making the Danes around him cheer louder, " a test of great strength- five hungry Danes against one bear."
Ingrid cheered the loudest for Leo and he growled lowly with Cnut being in his line of sight he gripped the rope even tighter with his teeth. Ragnar took out his sword and brought it down to cut the rope holding them all upright and they all went tumbling backwards with groans falling from their mouths.
Laughter rang through the arena when Ragnar held his beer and sword in one arm, "Ragnar wins!" But Ingrid tackled him before standing as quickly as her drunken body would allow her.
"Ingrid Ragnarson is the victor!" The men and women cheered loudly for her and she took a small bow before giggling to herself when Ragnar stood up with a woozy smile on his face.
"You little jinx," he lit an arm round her shoulders and kept her close. The Dane was glad he had his little sister back and he dreamt of the battles they would have ahead of themselves with his sister and brother by his side they would be unstoppable when they fought with the Saxons especially with a bear in their army.
Skade had been freed from her magical bound but decided to stay in the barn, she leant against the railings with her arms crossed in front of her as she watched the grin Ingrid sported and couldn't stop herself from matching the smile.
"You are both horrid cheaters," Uhtred told whilst Brida walked besides him with a unabashed smile she was happy her family was reunited.
Ragnar and Ingrid looked at one another appalled before they noticed Leo trudging off in a towards the barn where Skade be.
"Look what you did Ragnar," Ingrid tutted her brother but he only rolled his eyes.
"I'm sure the beast will manage," but Ingrid only hummed in disagreement muttering a small no.
"I highly doubt that he can hold a grudge." Ragnar looked to Uhtred who nodded with wide eyes as he recalled the memory when he scared Leo as a jest but then the big tosser wouldn't even glance in his direction for at least a week and when they shared dinner together Leo would steal the meat off of Uhtreds plate.
