Ivar is 5
Tola is 4 - I know I will be using the wrong ages in this story but it is the age I picture Tola so I am changing the ages around her to make it fit. Xx
Tola was sat with her older brother Ivar, as Floki was teaching them about runes. Ivar being distracted by the other children playing wondering why his little sister was not joining in, he turned and studied her, two pairs of ocean blue orbs clashing as he realised she was studying him to. He started to realise how different his sister was compared to the other little girls, oversized boys clothes hung off her lanky frame, a piece of material tied around her middle to keep everything in place. A birds nest of browns sat upon her head in braids that he had done himself, ones that she refused to allow her mother to remove as they were to special to her.
Suddenly Floki stood up taking Ivar with him, the small figure jumping up and running behind him wondering where he brother was going, as she realises that Floki was taking her brother into the crowd of children she grabs something out of the corner of her eye, heaving it towards Ivar determined to protect him as her other brothers wouldn't. The object is snatched out of her hands, it takes her a few seconds to process this and as she looks up to find out who has stopped her on her mission she meets her mother's eyes.
"Where are you taking this my child" Aslaug talks down to her, without a second thought she reply's " mother I have to protect Ivar from everyone, he cannot do both he wants to play so I will look after him as he does". Aslaug is baffled by the answer and takes a minute to gather the right answer but by the time she looks down again her daughter is gone, and so is the axe she was dragging, and by the time she has located her it is already to late, children are screaming and there is two small hatchets buried within a little boys body, one in the head and one in the heart
THIRD POV
As children were running and screaming to there mothers, including little Ivar, little Tola just stared at the body in wonder and a small ounce of horror, yet she never made a peep, in fact she never made a peep again, no one knew at the time but that sentence she said to her mother was actually her last sentence ever and in that sentence she had spoke an unspoken promise, to always protect Ivar and stay by his side, and that still is the case 12 years later.
