Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war. That was where Athena Rangarsdóttir got her name from. The brave beauty knew how to use a sword and it was her weapon.

Twigs and leaves snapped under their feet, Uhtred, Athena and their men crouching in the forest.
Athena was the crust to crouch down, her eyes landing on a group of Danes. She raised her hands for the group to be silent, the grouo crouching behind her.
Sihtric and Uhtred crouched on either side of her, their eyes on the Dane's. "That is Erik." Sihtric pointed toward the blonde Dane. Then, when a brunette Dane walked out, Sihtric nodded at him. "And there is Sigefrid."
"I was right." Uhtred uttered quietly, his eyes analysing the group. "This is not an army."
Athena nodded her head in agreement, looking over at Guthed. "We could attack tonight—when they least expect it, Lord." Athena told him, making Guthred turn to her. "Suprise them in their sleep. They will know Eoferwic is lost." She simply shrugged her shoulders.
"Will they?" Guthred carefully asked, making Uhtred nod his head, agreeing with his sister.
"Yes." Uhtred said, his eyes landing on a different Dane. The one they had saved from Eoferwic. "That is the man I set free." He continued to analyse the group. "They just have been marching for days." He turned to Guthred. "Nows a good time."
Guthred slowly added his head, swallowing thickly. "An attack is an option, yes." He started, making Athena frown.
"That is the only option." Athena persisted, her eyes landing back on the Dane's. "It's better we attack them before they attack us."
Sihtric nodded in agreement, looking at the Danes through the trees. "They are waiting to be slaughtered." He simply said.
"Lord?" Uhtred turned to the King, making Athena and Sihtric do the same. "There will be no better time to fight than now."
The king sighed, shaking his head. "Uhtred, I'm thinking." He uttered.
"We must attack."
Guthred let out another sigh at Uhtred's words, going to turn around. But Uhtred placed a firm hand on his shoulder, turning the King around. "Lord, what we're saying is good advice. We just attack tonight."
"Do you not hear me?" Gutnred panted, his eyes slightly wide as he looked up at Uhtred. "I'm thinking."
Athena tilted her head to the side, confused as she watched the king walk away. "He's thinking, he says." Athena uttered, rolling her eyes as she looked over at Sihtric, who judged her with a grin.
