"What is love?"
~✥~The fresh cold air hit Athena's face. It was the next morning, after the conflict with the Jomsvikings. She always awoke bright and early.
Or, it was just the nightmares that awoke her. All the men in the village were filled with excitement this morning. They would be going off to war.
Floki requested Thors bring along some of the men from the village. It was all wrong. Those men have never faced the real sufferage of war.
'Thorfinn.' She thought. That was the only name on her mind. He is too young to face the real world beyond the village.
"I promise, I will always be here." Athena mumbled. She stroked Thorfinn's hair back into place, while he slept peacefully.
~✥~
"Your men are as reckless as usual, Askeladd." Floki spoke. The men were known as pirates of the sea. Pirates were nomadic, but dangerous. They would hunt down and kill every village insight over petty greed.
"They just don't care for Christians, Floki. My men are bored. What's your business?" Askeladd said, seriously. He took a long sip of wine.
Askeladd was a devious man. He had blond-hair and dark eyes. The man had quite the beard. The sound of coins could be heard being thrown on the table.
"Compensation as we discussed, in exchange for Thors corpse. You can have your way with any cargo." Floki discussed. There was a plan at play between the men.
"Just be sure Thors is dead." He finished. Askeladd smirked at the name. "Thors, eh? The Troll of Jom. I've heard many things about him. Are you sure you want me to kill him?" Askeladd sneered.
Desertion is a crime amongst the Jomsvikings. It is an act of treason. Nobody left freely from the Jomsvikings.
"Yes. His execution was ordered fifteen years ago." Floki sneered at his words. Askeladd threw his cup of wine against the ground.
"Now, what kinda warrior is Thors?" Askeladd smirked. Floki curled his fists. "Trust me, that man is no longer a warrior." He responded.
"Also, beware of Thrain's spawn." Floki added. Askelad gave him a deadpanned stare. 'Thrain.' His mind raced.
"I didn't know, the great Thrain himself, had a child." He mumbled. Floki shoulders hunched over in contemplation. "She is rather annoying, yet.... mesmerizing." Floki added.
"Hmm, I can't wait to meet her." Askeladd laughed.
