Freya, Gyda, Lagertha, Bjorn and Athelstan travelled across the sea towards Loki house, Freya was helping Lagertha with covering Ragnar wounds as Bjorn climbed out of boat rushing up the pathway as he called out frantically, " Floki! Floki!" The door opened only for a blonde naked women to walk out looking at the boy with a confused look on her face, " who are you?

" I must speak with Floki, is he here?" Bjorn asked with a pleading expression on his face as Floki stumbled out of the house eating an apple only for his eyes to widened at the sight of the blonde boy wondering what he was doing here, " Bjorn?" The young boy moved his gaze over to Floki, " My father is dying" Floki eyes widened before following Bjorn down to the boat to help Lagertha carry him back up to the house, " Helga, get the bark of the ash and the garlic and the sage. Get the sage"

Lagertha and Floki lowered Ragnar onto the bed as Freya wrapped her arms around Gyda noticing the tears in her eyes as she looked at her father's unconscious body, " we make all paste to put on the wounds but first we must clean them and the only way to make them clean is with fire. Bjorn get more logs back there. A knife..." Floki grabbed the knife holding it over the fire for a couple of minutes but before he could clean the wounds Lagertha stopped him, " give that to me"

Floki handed Lagertha the knife who held it tightly in her hands before she prayed to the gods, " I dedicate this blade to the goddess. To Freya, Wisdom might you give us, Freya and healing hands while we live" Athelstan frowned as he watched the blonde women as Bjorn muttered under his breathe, " Hail to the Aesir" Gyda leaned her head against Freya shoulder and pleaded with the gods, " Please Freya, heal my father"

Lagertha placed the blade against the wound on Ragnar leg watching as it burned the wound to close it to stop it from bleeding as Athelstan started praying to his own God, " For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under the sun. A time to be born, a time to die, a time to plant, and to plunk up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal, Mary mother of God, listen to me: do not let this man die"

A little while later, Ragnar had woken up and Freya had refused to leave his side sitting beside him as she kept changing the wet cloth that was pressed against his forehead to keep down his temperature only to turn her head toward the door when Bjorn, Lagertha and Torstein walked back into the house, " he's still weak but his wounds are beginning to heal, thanks to Floki magic"

Floki stood up making his way over to great his friend placing his hand on his arm, " Torstein. Ragnar, see who's here" Freya turned her head to look at Torstein sending him a small smile as he looked down at Ragnar with an concerned look on his face at the state he is in, " Ragnar, my friend, how are you?" Ragnar groaned in pain forcing a smile on his lips, " Save me from these people" letting out a laugh only to let out a pained grunt, " how did you know i was here?"
