It was the day I had to leave. But somehow it was harder than I had planned. The way I saw Ivar at the table. The way he looked at me. It was like I felt something for the first time, something real. So I came to the conclusion that I wanted to fight. On his side.
What else would I do. Sit at home with my brother staring at the wall while my men are getting killed for someone they don't even know. If I would fight with them they would be stronger and they would fight for something they believe in.

"We will be back in 2 days light. With 300 men and swords. " Ivar and Hvitserk looked up to me. "Why 300? He lost." Hvitserk asked confused. "He lost on purpose" I smiled. Hvitserk looked at me in disbelief.

I couldn't think of anything else than him. Ivar. Ivar the boneless. The heartless. The emotionless. The cripple. But he was none of that. He was so much more. I got the honor to see the other side of him last night.

But I can not have emotions control my willpower and my leadership.

And just like she said, she was back with 300 men.... and herself. I didn't take it literally when she said that they would be back. But here she was. With 300 men behind her and I must admit It looked fascinating. How she was sitting on the white horse. In the elegant but fears war clothes, her hair pulled back in braids. And how everyone stopped what they were doing just to look at her, including me.

Later:
As we all walked, ready for war, to the battle field against my brothers. I looked at Lilith, I had to ask her; "Why are you fighting with us?"
„Had Nothing better to do." it was like she was ignoring my gaze. She knew I was looking at her and she didn't look back.
We were on the hill. Already seeing my brothers army. I had to laugh. It was so small and so damned.
"You ready my queen?"
"Always"

P.o.v Lilith
Ivar threw his crutch away. Started walking on his own.
"ARE WE AFRAID OF DEATH? NO!
WE DO NOT INTEND TO DIE IN OUR BEDS AS OLD MEN. VICTORY IS ALL BETTER WHEN ITS HARD WON! VALHALLA AWAITS US! FORWARD MY BROTHERS!
FORWARD!
FORWARD!"
And then everyone ran. Ready for war. Ready to fight for Ivar. Ready to not see the sun go down again.
I was with my men and his and
I wasn't scared . As I ran down the hill. Killing everyone in my way I was feeling free. Relieved. How the blood dripped down my sword was the most satisfaction I had in a long time.
