In 793 A.D Ragnar Lothbrok and his son Bjorn have a discussion on the origin of Nordic runes and languages as a whole. This is a short story I wrote as an English assignment during my Junior year in High School, I have a distinctive Scandinavian ancestry so the assignment was fun to do, I hope you enjoy the story. I implemented some aspects of Norse mythology into it, such as Odin and Baldr, and the myth of the man that was Ragnar Lodbrok, but some aspects I did make up; such as the story revolving of how the languages were made.

The real story of Ragnar 'Lothbrok' right out of the Danish Histories! He sails halfway round the known world to slay a fire breathing dragon for the hand of Princess Aslaug. The Saga of Ragnar 'Lothbrok' Sigurdson is about King Ragnar Lothbrok of Denmark as told by the Skald-Cleric Saxo in the twelfth century in his 'Nine Books of the Danish History of Saxo Grammaticus'. This is the real story of King Ragnar Lothbrok of Denmark as recounted by the ancient Danish historians Sven Aggeson and Saxo Grammaticus in Book Nine of Saxo's series. There are other conflicting accounts of Ragnar Lothbrok and his sons and I have attempted to include those viewpoints as well when they can be worked into Saxo's historical timeline, but this Book 1 of my 'The Varangian' series will be attempting to show how Saxo blended fiction and true history in his Nine Books.
