We stood in the center of the battlefield. Ivar, King Harald and Hvitserk sat on one side. Halfdan, Bjorn, Ubbe and Lagertha sat on the other with Torvi, Hilda and I stood beside them. I listened to them talk, my eyes observing every little detail of the opposition. That is when Ubbe began to speak. He pleaded with his younger brothers not to fight, explained to them that no good would come of it if they did. His words almost brought tears to my eyes as I watched Ivar for any signs of backing down. I knew Ivar well, I knew he'd never back down. That is when Ivar did the unfathomable. He agreed with Ubbe. He backed down.
King Harald looked furious at Ivar. Hvitserk, honestly, looked relieved. I smiled over at him but sent him a confused look. He merely shrugged in response. We sat in the center, pouring drinks and talking. Torvi and I still remained behind Lagertha as all three of us were still unsure of Ivar and his intentions. Everything seemed normal right up until Ivar began talking again. I listened to his conversation with Ubbe until it ended with him speaking of Lagertha and roaring, "I will kill her!" Lagertha merely smirked in response, pouring the cup of mead onto the ground without breaking eye contact with Ivar, "You can try."
The war was back on. I looked over at Ivar, my hand placed on the hilt of my sword ready to defend Lagertha as soon as I was needed. Of course, I knew Lagertha could kill Ivar herself. It was still my duty to defend her if Ivar tried any shit. Everyone in the center grabbed onto their weapons, my eyes watching each opposing warrior like a hawk.
We soon all went back to our camps and gathered our warriors. The war had begun.
