You make way for Kattegat to fight alongside the Sons of Ragnar as they plan to avenge their late father's death.
You are known amongst your people as a fierce warrior and great beauty. Having fought for your earldom since your father's death, you...
Sea water sprayed up from your shins onto your face. As you begin to make your way from the boat to the sandy beach. Huffing a sigh of relief at your safe arrival to the Northumbrian Coast, the weather had been fair. Perhaps Odin truly had been watching over your journey as Floki foretold.
***
The leaders of the Great Army had decided to make camp not far from the ships so a small force could remain and ensure their safety whilst the army fought the battle against King Ælle.

A large fire had been lit and round it sat Björn, Ubbe, Hvitserk, Sigurd, Ivar, Halfdan, King Harald, Floki, and a few other high ranking Kings and Earls. They are deep in conversation when you approach. Silently sitting in between Ivar and Floki staring into the fire, its heat being used by a blacksmith standing close by to resharpen some blunt weapons.
"Sigrid" Ivar mutters, also not taking his eyes off of the fire.
"Ivar." you do the same.
"Princess..." Floki turns to you, smiling intently between you and Ivar. You only chuckle at him and return your gaze to the fire. When you finally glance up, you see Hvitserk and Ubbe looking curiously at you and then to each other. As if they had seen the small exchange. You only smile in response, innocently as if it was none of their concern. Which...it wasn't.
You turn your attention to the conversation being had between the men around the fire. It is agreed that you will attack as soon as the last ships arrive. They were blown off course, but King Harald assures the group that with his best men on the boat, they are worth waiting for.
***
Frigg, Saga, Siv, and yourself begin to prepare your men and women, for the battle that will most likely take place in the morning. For you believe that King Harald's last boat's will not come ashore until then. With the positioning of your camp, it is unlikely that the Saxons will learn of your arrival until it is too late for them to mount an attack. You notice Siv staring through you, at someone or something standing behind you. You turn to see Ivar in his chariot looking down at you and smiling slightly.
