Elizabeth looked around her surroundings with a look of awe and amazement on her face as she took in the waterfalls and the mountains as it wasn't like anything she had seen before not noticing the smile on Ragnar face as he watched the blonde girl with a fond look on his face, "Ragnar Lothbrok" Athelstan called out causing him to turn his attention to the priest and asked," what is it?"

Elizabeth urned her attention to Athelstan who gestured the man beside him, "Brother Cenwulf here, beside me, I think he's dead" Ragnar stood up making his way towards the Monk slapping the back off his head only for it to flop back onto Athelstan shoulder causing Elizabeth eyes to widened as she watched Ragnar, " you're right. Leif" Two men picked up Brother Cenwulf and carelessly threw his body into the ocean causing the others to sob quietly to themselves terrified of what is going to happen to them.

It wasn't long until they arrived at the Vikings homeland causing Floki to start growling loudly and once they arrived at the docks, Elizabeth was dragged off the boat her wrists were now bound together with rope as she was draggged into the Great Hall of Kattegat, as all the riches and treasure they had found was laid out in front of Earl Haraldson, " My Lord, it was easy to take all of these things. The Priests in their temple, they had no weapons. They were like babies. They only had a child there for her protection and here is one of their priests" Ragnar tugged Athelstan forward causing Elizabeth to gasp as she was tied to his waist so it brought her forward too, "We captured several of them to sell for slaves"

Ragnar pushed Athelstan back before he turned around to face the people of Kattegat, "It must be true that there are many more such Holy places in England. And other lands to the West, likewise filled with such treasure, and to sail there will benefit us all" The people started speaking quietly with one another agreeing with Ragnar when Earl Haraldson stood up from his throne narrowing his eyes at Ragnar and curiously questioned, "How did you find this place of great riches when all before you had failed?""

Ragnar stayed silent for a moment as he glanced around the room at his men and firmly stated, "My lord, we were more fortunate than others. We had Thor on our side"Earl Haraldson snorted under his breathe nodding his head in response, " Yes, then you were indeed fortunate. But you understand that all this belongs to me, by right." Elizabeth smiled looking down at the ground at the expression on Ragnar face as his smile immediately dropped at the Earl's words, "My Lord, me and Floki paid for the boat. Surly, we are entitled to some reward and my crew..."

"You want me to pay you when you think these things as easily as from babies" Earl Haraldson resorted causing the people to laugh as Ragnar and his crew had an offended look on his face. Earl Haraldson looked down at Ragnar who glared at him before he turned around to face his wife who shrugged her shoulders, "here's what I've decided to do" he trailed off as the door suddenly opened with the Earl's men making their way inside, "Each one of you can take one thing from this hall."
