The Viking and his fellow warriors
traverse the rough seas of Ægir
in ships descended from Skíõblaõnir
built by the master shipbuilder
who has his own gifts from the gods in his hands and wit.
Again lead by his brother,
the Viking and the other warriors
go to distance another land
to battle and pillage.
The Viking shows no fear as the war party goes ashore.
For he is engulfed with rage and resentment
against his brother
as he comes goes upon the land of the unsuspecting,
where they harvest their lands and worship their one god,
where the Viking goes into his enraged trance
beginning his fearless slaughter of those that stand in his way.
Hoping this will finally impress enough his gods
to show the Viking favor and not his brother.
