Grey Souls

A Little Wiser A Little Older

~"As time goes by we often wonder who we truly are, we spend so much time on worrying over this notion we often miss ourselves as who we truly are blows past us on the winds of change and smirk at us as if we are nothing more then fools."~

Several years later things had never been more different for the Lothbrok family. In the absence of the mighty King Ragnar and the glorious and joyous return of the beloved Princess Daga much changed within the once tiny village of Kattegat that had over the years grown into a wonderous and active city of trade and business under the watchful eye of the Queen Aslaug and the guidance of her right hand Princess Daga. Through out the years the children of Ragnar grew mighty and strong and became a new breed of humans within themselves. People flocked to Kattegat if not for business to simply have the claim to say they set eyes upon the blood haired Princess whose haunting blue eyes shifted to a red that stunned all those around her and installed awe and fear and admiration amongst all her subjects. Daga returned to her step father's home and claimed his Earldom and wealth which caused a deep riff between the Princess and her mother Lagertha who had come to believe her husband still loved her and would leave her everything. Daga started anew building a group of subjects fiercely loyal to her who would stop at nothing to do as she asked of them knowing she would never lead them astray, she fought countless battles and built an empire in her name that echoed over the wind letting no one escape the tales of her success and greatness. She traveled far and wide but she always returned home in the end.

Prince Bjorn divorced his wife who devastated left in the middle of the night leaving her daughter upon the door step of Daga's room. Bjorn grew colder as the years carried on after his father's abandonment and spent a good many of years focusing solely on fighting and building onto his own name which he did with great success, after he worked through his many emotions he became quieter choosing to work hard and stay close to his family and those closest to him, he too had a falling out with his mother due to her abandonment and sudden distaste of Daga due to their step father's choice which made Lagertha hated Daga even more for. Bjorn choose to spend his energies mainly on working and caring for his own daughter who was now becoming a young woman one whose skill and intelligence and beauty made her wanted or desired by all. Saga had already begun to make her own name traveling by her father's side and learning her own place as Bjorn's right hand.

Princes Hvitserk and Sigurd become trained warriors and helped their mother and sister out at home with whatever was needed, when they were through they spent their days practicing and training desperately trying to gain the skill to prove they were worthy to not just be a Son of Ragnar but a Brother of Odin's Raven. During the night the two young brothers would sneak off to enjoy their favorite family slave a beautiful young woman by the name of Magerthe who Aslaug had bought for their enjoyment most of all.

Prince Ubbe, Son of Princess Daga and the God Fenrir grew up to become the spitting image of a Young Ragnar yet his personality was strictly his mother. He acted as his mother's right hand and most trusted advisor and when he was not at his mother's side he cared for the small farm he had built from the ground up deep within the forest behind the Long House. He cared not for the fighting of typical Viking culture but that did not mean he did not possess a magnificent and deadly skill set, as he grew older the more dominant his God like nature became and his powers along with them. He could almost match his mother's skills in battle, almost.

Princess Anna grew up to be a beautiful young woman whose nature was that of a healer, she devoted her life to becoming a Volva and using her unique gifts to aide the people of Kattegat and surrounding it. She was sought after and traveled far and wide for her death defying magical healing that aloud her to be able to literally steal back a person from Death's door. A rare gift from Frigg herself. A gift she only used when her heart called her to.
