"What is love?"
~✥~

"Thorfinn! Athena!" Thors yelled. Today, the men were leaving for war. It was a new experience for the young men, who never experienced battle.

Athena and Thorfinn were currently no where to be found. Thors sighed to himself.

~✥~

"Athena, I have to pee very badly." Thorfinn whispered. Athena covered his mouth. "You should have thought about that before hopping into a barrel." She said, quietly.

"I didn't need you to come with me." Thorfinn scoffed. Currently, Athena was stuck in a barrel with a six year old. She deadpanned.

"I guess, this means there is no turning back now." Thorfinn said, loudly. Athena couldn't take the boys complaining anymore.

She scrambled out of the barrel with the boy between her arms. The boy was lifted over the edge of the boat and he did his business.

"Thorfinn! Athena!" Thors rawred. Athena was busy looking away from Thorfinn. "You can yell at us later, sir Thors." She responded.

Then, Thorfinn and Athena checked their surroundings. They were no longer on land, but the vast sea. It held beauty, but beauty always held danger.

'Hello, old friend.' Athena's mind spoke. It was like she had missed an old friend for years. "Athena! Father! We're on the sea!" Thorfinn yelled, excitedly.

Thorfinn's smile could change a person's mood in seconds. Athena couldn't help, but laugh at his words.

Thorfinn ended up getting a huge spanking.

The ships were half ways between Iceland and Norway. There would lay a quiet village. Where the men could recover and restock on supplies. These were the Faroe Islands.

Leif led the men at the front end. While, Thors did most of the rowing. "So, do you plan on coming to England with us Thorfinn?" A man asked.

"Of cour-" Before, Thorfinn could finish. Athena placed her hand on his shoulder. She held a serious look. Something wasn't right here.

Athena looked up upon the edges of the rocks. She noticed intense silence, then a glimpse of an arrow. It flashed right before her eyes landing against the ship.

Her eyes widened. It almost hit Thorfinn. "Thors! It's a trap!" Athena yelled. Before, they knew it rocks came crashing down blocking the entrance to the village.

"Men! Are you alright?" Thors yelled. He was huddled down with Athena and Thorfinn in his arms.

"We're fine. They didn't hurt us, or the ship." Leif mentioned. It was strange to not attack the ship. "Prepare yourselves. We're about to meet our captors." Thors said.

Athena hled Thorfinn, closely. They could hear the sound of deep drums. They were pirates. "Thorfinn. Remember show no fear. They eat it for dinner." Athena whispered.

The leader stood proud and tall. He held a wide smirk. Athena glared towards the blonde man. Her eyes held anger and fire.

Askeladd wasn't bothered by the female, until she looked at him with so much anger. 'Heh. That's Thrain's brat. Not bad for the daughter of a beast.' He thought.
