Based on the popular play known as "Dr. Faustus", this story takes place when Faustus meets the seven deadly sins who were all brought forward by the demon Mephistopheles himself. *(Although in the original play, it was Lucifer who called forward the sins for Faustus to see.) From an assignment I had in my AP Literature class, in that scene, I was given to write specifically about Faustus meeting Envy and got a "B" for my work. This is written as part of the play itself and is also in a format like a play. Old time language (Anglo-Saxon) is used. Enjoy! [Word Count: 914]

The life of an average American man

Saga-hero of great renown, celebrated poet and bringer of death and terror from across the Northern seas, Egil Skallagrimsson now lies in his deathbed, old and feeble and forgotten, disrespected by his kin. Yet strength remains in the old warrior - strength enough for one final task that men will remember for a thousand years, that will spite his kin and bring him a hoard of saga fame to rival the hoard of Anglo-Saxon silver that he will hide. This is a historical fiction short story which forms the prologue of a short novel based on a fictional search (in the modern day) for Egil's silver, the location of which is one of Iceland's greatest mysteries to this day. Egil was a Viking that lived in Iceland during the 'settlement age' in the 10th century, and was given two great chests of silver coin for his part in the battle of Brunanburgh in 937 which is one of the most under-rated battles in British history. Egil's silver was his reward for helping King Aethelstan of England defeat a combined army of Scots and Norse, and secured England's borders as they are now known, completing the foundation of that country. Despite his successful career as a Viking and one of the first farmers to colonise Iceland, Egil is chiefly famous for burying his treasure shortly before his death. Despite numerous searches with increasingly sophisticated technology, it has never been found...

The year is 1066 and a war is brewing. King Edward the Confessor of England has died without an heir. The Witan has declared Harold Godwinson king but many believe that they should be king. In Norway is Haraldr Sigurðsson who is called Harðraði, Hard-Ruler. In the south lies Duke William of Normandy and further in Hungary lies the former king's nearest relative, Eadgar Æþeling. All of the rulers will fight for power but war is not how the stories would tell us. War is not won by one but the sacrifice of many. One man, more of a boy, from Hrólfs-øy is dragged into this and joins the other men of Orkneyjar as they fight for their king, Haraldr Sigurðsson.

"Some people become so passionate about something that years later they no longer can have a life without it. Let others into your life. Let other things integrate themselves with your life. Be defined by more than one thing. Because once you lose that one thing, the rest of you life means nothing." "Why?" "Cause your and Idol, and... and I'm going to Hong Kong in a few weeks for professional Basketball training." The first kpop ff I ever wrote, way back in 2017.
