Viking With A Heart

Chapter 13 (Reworked)

Asher's POV

As I got back to the two bodies she mourned for I picked each up over my shoulders and started to carry them to the field. When I got to the field I noticed that the other four boys were no longer there but that the place was set up like a square and in between each two wooden beds was about two people widths of space. The wooden beds were up on the wooden placers to be burned just like I had asked. I also took notice to the pile of wooden branches one pile of smaller ones and one pile of bigger ones with cuts of rope next to it. I placed the bodies on the ground next to a set of two wooden beds. Then I went over and grabbed a bigger branch and a smaller branch and tied the branches together in what looked like what was on the cover of the bed. Once I was happy with it, I did it to the other branches. I then staked them into the ground up above each group of beds.

By the time I finished that I noticed I was not alone anymore. I looked over and saw Maddox with two bodies looking at all I had done. I nodded to him and he nodded back waiting to see what he had to do.

"We are to put the bodies in the beds, like so." I said picking up the older mans body and putting him into a bed. Then in the one next to that I put the older woman's body. Maddox nodded and did the same with the two bodies he carried. As Maddox was putting the last body in the other two finally showed up and did the same with the bodies they were carrying. By the time we got the bodies into the beds we went and got our fathers and asked them to wait by the wooden places our brides families were in. To that they all just nodded, we then went back to the holding area and got our intendeds, Langley also brought the smaller girl who his bride wouldn't let go of, to bring back to the field noticing it was getting dark.

We each picked up our intended, Langley picking up both, and started to take them to the field it was then that I noticed the other five that had been marked were also being taken but to the ship. While the ones who haven't are being left in the pin. I just shrugged it off and kept walking when I noticed a branch on the ground I picked it up and got it on fire with what used to be a houses dying out flame, and the others did the same. When we got to the field, we each went to the beds we put the families of our intendeds in and put down the girls while holding them close. Mine decided she wanted to know what was in the bed, but when she stood up on her toes to see and she automatically dropped down crying. That is when the others did the same.
