- Raid
It was early in the morning, Elizabeth was sat on the end off the boat with Ragnar as he was teaching her how to catch fish when he turned his head to face the blonde girl and asked with a worried look on his face, "how are you doing? You killed a man the other night" Elizabeth let out a sigh as she looked down at her hands, " I think there's something wrong with me. Everywhere I go, people die. Sometimes, i... I feel like I could burn the whole world. It Just...it just makes me so afraid. I was protecting myself but I still feel guilty he could of had a family or people that care about him and I killed him"
"Fear is an illness. If you catch it and you leave it untreated, it can consume you" Ragnar trailed off only for Elizabeth to interrupt him and curiously asked, " how do you treat it?" Ragnar stayed silent for a couple of moments before wrapping his arm around the blonde girl bringing her into a side hug, " you face it. Facing your fear is not easy but I am here for you. I won't let anything happen to you" Elizabeth smiled softly as she looked up at Ragnar who had promised to protect her from anything and anyone who would cause her harm, " All right. What are you planning? What are you preparing for?
Ragnar furrowed his brows as he looked down at Lizzie with a confused look on his face, " what do you mean?" Ragnar questioned only for Elizabeth to let out a sigh sending him a deadpanned look and resorted, " I've seen what you've doing these past couple of weeks. You're about to do something. Something that has taken time and patience. You've made yourself very stong" Ragnar smiled in amusement at Lizzie as she was more than just meets the eye, " perhaps not strong enough"
"You're planning to overthrow Earl Haraldson aren't you?" Elizabeth questioned making Ragnar eyes widened as he turned to look at her, " No, but even if i were do you really think I'll admit it?" Elizabeth shook her head in amusement and replied, " No, of course not. You're too proud and stubborn to actually tell anyone your plans unless you want them to know" Ragnar wrapped his arms around the young girl pressing a kiss to her head, " come on, you can help me with the fish"

A little while later, Elizabeth was walking through the woods with Ragnar as he was teaching her how to hunt. Ragnar was crouched down looking at the animal footprint in the mud only to hear a branch snap in the distance causing the two of them to turn their attention to the sound only to see a deer was stood afar, " prepare your bow" Ragnar whispered as Lizzie got into position pulling back the bowstring but before she could release the arrow the sound screaming was heard in the distance, " what's happening?"
"The Farm, we're under attack. Come on!" Ragnar called out grabbing his bow as the two rushed back towards the farm only to come to a stop near the trees only to see that Earl Haraldson and his men were attacking the farm and that multiple of barns were set off fire while killing women, children and men anyone in sight, " Lizzie, you do not leave my side under any circumstances do you understand?"
