Note: I'm finally posting this story here!!

This is one of my favorite stories of mine and I hope you'll like it as well! All the illustrations for this fic are quite old and I might redo some of them one day

Note (from ao3): I did it!

I finally posted the first chapter of my TPN Viking AU!

This fic means a lot to me. I always loved Norse mythology and Viking culture, so I said why not do a TPN AU with that!
And here we are!

Note that the title of the chapters are in Norse and that I am not 100% sure if it's really accurate.

I hope you will like it!

Emma Mikhaylov, only daughter of Yuugo and Dina from the Clan of the Lion. Yuugo is the black-smith of the village. Ever since she is three years old, Emma has always helped her mother with the numerous tasks in the house. Her favorite one was helping with the farm. She loved to play with the animals and it was the only times she was able to play in the mud without being grounded. But what she loved the most in the farm were the horses. She couldn't wait to grow up and ride one.

She also passed time at the forge with her dad, where he would teach her how everything is done and how it works. She was always amazed by that and she was so proud. She was proud of what her dad was doing, since, without him, the warriors wouldn't had weapons to defend their village.

Every night, her and her father would sit on the roof and watch the sunset and the stars. Sometimes, her mother would join them. They would normally stay there until Emma fall asleep or when her parents said it was time for bed.

One night, when she was four, her dad asked her a question.

« Hey, antenna. »

She turned her head to look at him when she heard her nickname. She liked the nickname. She knew it was her father's way to show his love for her, even if she was finding it weird.

« What do you wanna become when you'll be older? »

She was looking at him with her big emerald eyes. You could see the love he had for his daughter in his. Emma went back into staring at the sky when one of her big smile appeared on her lips.

« I wanna become a warrior! »

« A warrior? And why is that pumpkin? »

She giggled.

« Because I wanna protect everyone! I wanna protect you and mama! And uncle Lucas and Oliver too! And everyone! »

She raised her hand in a happy way. He ruffled her hair, making the little girl giggled even more. They went back at starring at the starry sky. A few second after, Yuugo's expression became more serious.

« You know, one day me and mama won't be there anymore, right? »

She turned around, kneeling to face him. She was looking at him with her eyes full of curiosity. She nodded.

« And you know that one day, even if I don't like the idea, you'll end up marrying someone you love and have a family with this special someone »

« Yeah! Just like you and mama! »

The man let out a small chuckle.

« Yeah, just like me and mama. But, what I wanna say is, as a warrior, your duty will be to protect them, even if your futur husband, » he said the last word with so much disgust that it made the girl giggle. « is also a warrior. Even if he's not one, it will also be his duty to protect you and your family. And, I hope you'll marry the one you love. Or like everyone say, the right one. »
