Vikings: The Christian Girl

Chapter Two

Kattegat 814 AD

Summer had reached Kattegat. The sky was bright blue without a single cloud in the sky. The sun was shining down on Kattegat. All the villagers were taking advantage of the warm weather by spending time outside.
Ymir walked along the coast line of Kattegat silently enjoying the feeling of the pebbles beneath her feet.
The summer breeze was blowing her dark brown waves slightly out of her pale rounded face. A feeling she enjoyed an awful lot.
Her red dress drags along the ground as her. She never usually liked wearing dresses but Siggy had convinced her to do so.

Siggy was the oldest daughter of Bjorn Ironside. A beautiful girl which Bjorn didn't love or ever pay attention to. After Siggy's mother Porrun ran off and abandoned Bjorn and her. Bjorn stopped caring for her and left her under the care of queen Aslaug.
Torvi had told Ymir that Siggy looked just like her mother which was the reason why Bjorn had given her the cold shoulder.

She currently stood on the coast line watching the ships begin to sail out for fishing. Bjorn had kissed Torvi goodbye then his sons Erik and Refil then carried both Hali and Asa in his arms. He hadn't even bothered to say goodbye to Siggy.
Ymir could tell by the look on her face that she was disappointed but not shocked that her father hadn't said goodbye to her.
Although Ymir knew Bjorn loved Siggy. Aslaug and Torvi had told her the stories.

The days when Siggy had wondered off Bjorn would always be a few steps behind to make sure she was safe. When she was upset Bjorn would always find Aslaug or Torvi to comfort her. He personally never showed his love but was always protecting her through the side lines.

Ymir approaches her friend by softly placing her hand on Siggy's shoulder. She doesn't say a word but simply showing her friend support. Both girls had been best friends for a long time.
"Do you ever think we will get to raid England?" Siggy asks as she tilts her head slightly watching the ship's sail outward to the sea.
Ymir lets out a snort hearing those words escape Siggy's lips
"Do you seriously think Bjorn would let you even place your hands around a sword?" Ymir asks her
"I don't think he'd really give a shit to be honest Ymir" Siggy sighs as she walks along the coastline her blonde hair swaying behind her.
"He would." Is all Ymir resounds with chasing after her as her hair bounces as she jumps off a rock.
"His own mother Lagertha is the most famous shield maiden of all. My grandmother would most likely want to see me fight." Siggy says looking over as her strands of blonde hairs whip in her face.
"Porrunn fought and had her face slashed. She ran off never to be seen again. I doubt Bjorn would want you fighting after what she did." Ymir says as her hair sways back by the wind to.

Siggy's face instantly scrunches up with a look of disgust.
"Porunn was a coward. A foolish woman. I am. No foolish woman like her. I'm a real Viking and I will prove it. Even if not even you believe in me because I know the gods do."
she Stubbornly sighs as she storms off again.
"Siggy I never said I didn't believe in you! If it came to it I would be following you into battle! I would follow you to Valhalla if it came to that! Siggy!" Ymir yells as she disappears through the tree line.

"Just let her go." A voice from behind Ymir says as she looks over her shoulder at Torvi.
Ymir's green eyes brighten with delight to see her.
"Torvi!" She glees opening her arms out to embrace her
Both woman hug tightly.
"You look wonderful how are you feeling?" Torvi asks as both woman trail along
"Not the best. I've upset Siggy."
Torvi tilts her head slightly her mouth aghast with concern but also comfort.
"You know better then anyone what she's like she will come out of it on her own." Torvi says
"I don't like it that she thinks Bjorn doesn't love her"
"He's does. In his own way. I understand that before me he loved Porunn very much and the heartache and betrayal she caused him brought much pain upon Siggy. He doesn't know how to be a father to her because of Porunn."
"She hates Porunn as much as Bjorn did. I mean her own mother abandoned her as a baby and her father didn't even react when it was discovered she almost died from drowning."

Anger swells within Ymir as she clenches her fist. All of the closest people she loved more than anyone close to losing their lives from drowning due to Queen Aslaug's neglect first Neglecting her own sons which caused both ubbe and Hvitserk her best friends to almost drown if it wasn't for a woman named Siggy saving their lives and Drowning in their place. Then Aslaug neglecting Siggy as a child causing her to almost die from drowning herself. She almost died but the gods saved her.

At least Siggy had a father even if he pretends not to Care. The only father figure Ymir has ever known was Rollo. Ragnar's brother. He had raised her as his own. For many years. he used to be a great father to her. He even referred to her as Ymir Rollosdottir. That was until Paris when he married a French princess he betrayed Ragnar and abandoned Ymir. Leaving Ymir to be left in the care of Queen Aslaug alongside Siggy and the sons of Ragnar.

Ymir would never forgive Rollo. If he were to ever see him again she swore to kill him. But she wasn't entirely alone Ragnar's sons Ubbe , Hvitserk, Sigurd and Ivar's father all abandoned them too. Ragnar disappeared after Paris and hasn't been seen since. The sons and Ymir could relate due to their parents/Guardians abandoning them.
