Sigurd

Imagine Sigurd hears you singing in the forest.

For most people of Kattegat, today was a normal day, but for you it was slightly different.

You had just been told you were a free woman, which you had been waiting for that very moment since the day you arrived in Kattegat, but now you didn't know what to do with yourself.

The only friends you had were still slaves, and were off somewhere working for their masters, so you found yourself aimlessly walking through the forest.

Just as you were about to turn back though, you saw a baby deer with an injured leg. It was lying down on the ground in an awkward position, and it's leg was twisted to the side.

You were always told that if an animal had a broken bone, then you should put it out of its misery. So you knelt down holding your small handmade knife, and put it to its throat.

"Lullaby and goodnight, with roses bed light."
"With lilies o'er spread is babies wee bed."
"Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed."
"Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed."

And with the the last line of the song, you dug the knife into the deers throat, patting its head as it took its last breathe.

You looked down at the poor deer, before sighing and standing back up to turn back and go home. When you spun around, you were shocked to see Sigurd Snake In the Eye standing behind you. You let out a small gasp and clutched your heart.

"Sigurd you scared the life out of me." You yelled at him as he laughed at your reaction. "You did the right thing you know." He said gesturing his hand towards the deer. "I know, it was still hard though." You sighed and started to walk away with Sigurd, him taking the deer presumably for food.

"Well if I could choose a way to go out, I would choose to hear you singing to me like you did that deer." He said and you both laughed as you headed back before it got dark.
