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...
On the way back from a successful hunt just outside of the city, Saga, Frigg, Siv and yourself saddle your horses. Tieing various birds, rodents and a small deer to the saddlebags. The four of you ride back into the city and upon arrival, you gesture for two slaves to take the horses back to the stables and the game to the butcher to feed the warriors of the army later this evening.

Standing in the courtyard with your maidens your attentions turn to its corner as you hear loud grunts of pain emanating from it. You turn to see Ubbe and Hvitserk stood under the blacksmith's paneled roof staring at something. You hand the reins to the slave whilst staring over to them. You gradually move closer to the blacksmiths, hoping to see what could possibly have them looking so shocked. Your eyes grow wide as you bring your open hand to your mouth in sheir disbelief...
There, just across from you, you can see Ivar. He is walking? Albeit it slowly and with the aid of a crutch, but still...'HE IS WALKING!' you say to yourself.

Ubbe looks to his brother with an expression that you can only describe as worry. This puzzles you. Why is he not pleased for his brother? As you are at this moment? Hvitserk however, although perhaps not to the same degree as you, looks to Ivar more kindly than his elder brother.

You watch silently for a moment as Ivar stops just in front of his brothers. Looking very proud of himself and smirking at them. No doubt he feels as though he has achieved the impossible. Tears of happiness and joy begin to form in your eyes and you can no longer control yourself. Seeing the man you love walking for the first time in his life...

"IVAR!" you shout over to him hysterically. Drawing his gaze over to you as you run to be by his side.
"What do you think, hm?" he laughs looking down at his metal braces and then to you. A proud and genuine smile on his face.
"I...I!" you manage to croak out before bursting into floods of tears. Overwhelmed by what you see in front of you. Looking up into his blue eyes.
"My dear Sigrid" he whispers to you, embracing you with his right arm, pulling you close to him. He kisses the top of your head as you weep into his chest.
You pull away to look up to him once more, a huge smile developing into a laugh as you see him smiling down at you lovingly.
"It is nice to finally look down to you my love" he chuckles before placing a soft kiss on your lips.
Reaching your hand to the back of his neck you deepen the kiss. Forgetting that Hvitserk and Ubbe are stood directly behind you. Ivar does not pull back though and begins to hungrily return the kiss. Taking advantage of the opportunity to show his brothers who you belong to. You are brought back to your senses...sharply by Ubbe, clearing his throat to remind you of their presence.
You pull away and remove your hand from Ivar's neck, sending both brothers and apologetic look as your return to earth. Ivar watches your lips move away from him, as if in a trance. Hvitserk shuffles awkwardly, gripping his sword as he looks around the blacksmiths and away from you with Ivars hand wrapped around your waist.
"There is work to be done..." Ubbe says seriously looking to his brothers, you and across the courtyard to your maidens. Who must have watched this all take place...
