In the year 921 A.D., the Arabic diplomat Ibn Faḍlān made an account of a Viking funeral. He was part of a caliphal embassy that made the trip from Bagdad to the Volga area, today's Russia.
I have reimagined his account from a different perspective - to that of a girl who joins her chieftain in death.

It must have been a goddess. That he was sure of. In the middle of those dark ashes, a body was laid down, wrapped in a cape that must have been green before but which was now covered in brown because of the ashes. Her face was strikingly pale, of a rare whiteness, but it was also dirtied by the ashes, hiding her cheeks and forehead. But despite those ashes and these dark smudges, one thing was absolutely certain: she was divine. She had a beautiful face with a straight, small nose, lips that were plump even if they were dry and a bit blue from the cold. Her eyes were closed, but her lashes seemed to be long and thick, resting on her cheeks like she was sleeping peacefuly. But all of those traits were not what attracted the Jarl. What did was the streak of hair that rested on her forehead, which had leaked from her hood. Its color was so unique and uncommon for a girl from this country that Tharn remained fixated on it. It was impossible to decide if this girl was a red-head or a blond. It seemed like the gods had not been able to chose in-between those two hair colors and had to give her the tone in between those two: gold. What a waste for such a heavenly creature to be dead, Tharn thought. Well, was he sure she was dead? After kneeling down, he bent over her, placing his fingers on her throat to check if her heart was still beating and placing his cheek in front of her mouth to see if he could feel a breath against his skin. As faint as it was, a light breeze touched him and a slow beat came under his fingers. She was barely alive, but she still was. A sigh of relief escaped him without him controlling it. He had no idea why he was so glad she was alive, but he was sure of one thing : she was coming back with him, and she would be his.

"May the stories spin, may the thread grow longer, and may the future doubt the past with the same vigor she feared the future" The world had always treated Disa like she was beauty breathed into flesh and blood. Previously immortality allowed her to maintain that status, but now time is threatening her existence. For a year she has been on earth waiting for her husband to change his mind or her mother to want her back. But as time drags on, she decides to spite them in the only way that will; by fulfilling the prophesy and cast them off into oblivion with it. She had always been destined for power so when the southern conquer king closes in, she knows what she has to do. But with the southern tides comes not only her husband to be but also their gods. One with wicked storm gray eyes and a glinting silver scar on his jaw who tricked her immortality from her and who is now willing to strike another deal. A century later every belly rumbles as they float past on the street and Lenjas father has a family to care for. Ten children, ten hollow pairs of eyes, and eight more weeks until spring. Up on the mountain, the immortal queen reigns behind her silver mask, more myth than person. Young Lenjas' life is traded for a drawstring purse of gold and she gets thrust into the odd world of court. With gaping holes in the history books questions rise and when Lenja is not turned into a servant as was the deal but educated like a lady, anxiety rises. She must find out why the queen paid to have her there and why her friends at court are sneaking out in the night to cry behind gilded doors.
