The tales of the Borgs : King vs King

Chapter 10

Six days later King Hjalmar and his boats arrived home to Akehold. They reached the docks that had King Hjalmar's which was a wolf with an eagle hovering over a man destroying his enemies. "King Hjalmar is back from the raid," The fisherman said as he pulled up to the docks. "Go tell Queen Kari the king is back," The fisherman continued as he looked at the boy with excitement. The boy ran as fast as his legs could carry him to Asbjorn Island. Thirty minutes later the boy arrived to Asbjorn Island and entered the great hall. "King Hjalmar is back from the raid," The boy said as he tried to catch his breath. Queen Kari and three men race to the docks to see if it was true.

They arrived at the docks just as King Hjalmar hopped off the boat. Queen Kari was the age of twenty nine. She had brown eyes and a cage hairstyle and red hair. She was wearing a long red dress. Over the dress she wore a long woolen tunic, a little like an apron. It was held up by a pair of brooches. On top of her dress she was wearing a three quarter coat with a belt. On her feet, she wore white socks and brown long leather boots. "Welcome back my love," Queen Kari said as she ran up and hugged him. "It's good to be home my love," King Hjalmar said as he hugged and kissed Queen Kari. "It's good to see you didn't ruin my kingdom Even," King Hjalmar said as he let go of Queen Kari.

Eirik borg was King Hjalmar's big brother. Even passed down the throne to King Hjalmar because he wanted to travel instead of rule over a kingdom. He was the age of thirty three. He had blue eyes and a black braided undercut hair and a long black bread. He wore a long woolen red shirt and a long black cloth trousers which was held by a sash. On top of his he was wearing a three quarter coat with a belt. On his feet, he wore black socks and black long leather boots. He also was wearing an arm ring. "Welcome home brother," Eirik said with a smile as he hugged King Hjalmar. "Welcome home my children," Queen Karil said as she hugged Hertha and Stigr. "I've missed you mother," Hertha said as Queen Kari let them go. "So do I mother," Stigr said with a smile. "I've missed you so much mother. Even though I had much excitement on the raid," Stigr continued. "Go and change the both of you," Queen Kari said.

"There will be a fest for the success of the raid and for the safe return home," Queen Kari continued as they walked back to Asbjorn Island. "When we have the feast you can tell me how your first raid went," Even said with a big smile. By evening King Hjalmar, Hertha, and was changed for the feast King Hjalmar wore a long woolen white shirt and a long light brown cloth trousers which was held by a sash. On top of his he was wearing a three quarter coat with a belt. On his feet, he wore white socks and black long leather boots. He also was wearing an arm ring. Hertha was wearing a long grey dress. Over the dress she wore a long woolen tunic, a little like an apron. It was held up by a pair of brooches. On top of her dress she was wearing a three quarter coat with a belt. On her feet, she wore white socks and black long leather boots Stigr wore a long woolen Red shirt and a long brown cloth trousers which was held by a sash. On top of his he was wearing a three quarter coat with a belt. On his feet, he wore black socks and black long leather boots. He also was wearing an arm ring.

The fest was held in the great hall with people talking about past raids, drinking, and laughing. King Hjalmar and his family was sitting at the first tables by the thrones. The servants served lamb, goat, and potatoes with beer and ale. "Tell how was your first raid Stigr," Eirik said as he drank his fifth cup of beer. "It was amazing but bloody uncle," Stigr said as he ate a piece of lamb. "Yeah they're always like in the beginning," Eirik said as he finished his fifth cup of beer. "Especially if you're not used to seeing so much blood and so much death," Eirik continued as he got up and walked away from the table. Meanwhile Olin was drunk walking towards Hertha who was talking to a friend.

Olin just finished his sixth cup of beer as he walked up Hertha and her friend walked away. "Hertha I just want to thank you for the success of the raid and the battle," Olin said drunkenly. "Thank you Olin but I had your help," Hertha said with a smile. "The gods have blessed you," Olin said as he kissed Hertha and walked away. A few minutes later a man and a woman walked inside King Hjalmar's home. The man was of the age of twenty five. He had grey beautiful eyes. He had short blond hair and a clean shave. He wore a long woolen purple shirt and a long light brown cloth trousers which was held by a sash. On top of his he was wearing a three quarter coat with a belt. On his feet, he wore white socks and black long leather boots. He also was wearing an arm ring. The woman was at the age of seventeen with blue eyes and a short brown hairstyle. She was wearing a long green dress. Over the dress she wore a long woolen tunic, a little like an apron. It was held up by a pair of brooches. On top of her dress she was wearing a three quarter coat with a belt. On her feet, she wore white socks and black long leather boots.

When the man and woman entered King Hjalmar's home they caught his attention. "And who are you two," King Hjalmar asked as the great hall became silent and others studied. "I'm King Calder of the kingdom Geirland," King Calder replied as he walked towards King Hjalmar and his family. "This is my beautiful wife Queen Gull," King Calder continued as pointed at Queen Gull. "Hello," Queen Gull said as bowed and smiled nervously. "Hello Queen Gull," Queen Kari said with a smile. "What are you doing King Calder," King Hjalmar asked as he ate a piece of lamb. "I want a piece of your land to grow my kingdom," King Calder replied "And I want three hundred pounds a month. If not I will come here with my army and conquer your kingdom," King Calder continued with a cocky smile.

"I know who you are," Hertha said with a humongous smile. "The king that can't do a successful raid. They even call you Calder the failure. I had no idea that you were king. I thought you were just a jarl or some man trying to gain fame," Hertha continued as she laughed in tears. Others joined the laughter of Calder the failure. King Calder tried to keep himself calm during the laughter. "You never had a successful raid, why would I take your threat seriously," King Hjalmar asked as he laughed with the others. "Because i'm a new man now," King Calder said as he held his anger inside. "I've learned from my mistakes and I've gained some success in my raids," King Calder continued. "Those are just words Calder the failure," King Hjalmar said. "They mean nothing to me until you prove otherwise," King Hjalmar continued as he ate another piece of lamb. "Quit calling me that," King Calder said as he gripped the hilt of his sword. "I can call you what I want," King Hjalmar said. "Now get out and leave before I have you killed. You're starting to bore me," King Hjalmar continued with anger. King Calder left King Hjalmar's home with a tantrum.
