Askelad Stories

York smelled like gasoline, cheap whiskey, and the faint metallic tang of blood. Torfinn kept his hood low as he moved through the streets, one hand inside his jacket wrapped around the cold grip of his pistol. The North Syndicate's territory was too quiet tonight - and in this city, quiet meant someone was planning something. Askeladd had called this a "favor." Torfinn called it a leash. "You're going to guard him, pup. The Omega heir. Keep him breathing. I'll handle the rest." An Omega heir. Prince Canute. The youngest son of King Sweyn, the head of the North Syndicate - and, if the whispers on the street were true, as fragile as glass. Babysitting wasn't Torfinn's style. He took contracts, got paid, and disappeared. But Askeladd's orders weren't open for negotiation, and refusing them had consequences that went beyond Torfinn alone. Disclaimer: It was kind of my Idea with this Au. I don't own the characters, they are from the anime Vinland saga. Go and watch it if you haven't. The art works aren't mine, so go and give the creators some credit and love. And that's all, enjoy the story and have fun when riding it. Lol
