Shieldmaiden Stories

"I've been waiting for you" his voice was coarse. I casually took a seat in front of him. "What is it you see? What do the gods have planned for me?" "First what in particular do you want to know?" I straightened my back and cleared my throat. "I, along with many other women, have always wanted to be a shieldmaiden like Lagertha. However, I realize I don't want to be my grandmother. I want to be a famous warrior like her. But I want to know if my name will be remembered?" The Seer was silent as he nodded his head. "You have honored your people with your success in Wessex. The gods smile upon you. However, you will come face to face with a missing part of your past. Your soul will face anger but also acceptance." There was a moment of silence between us. * * * * "The gods will always smile on brave women, like the Valkyries whose furies men fear and desire." - Seer Siggy is the daughter of Björn Ironside (the son of King Ragnar Lothbrok and the shield maiden Lagertha) and Porunn, a former slave. She was named after Earl Haraldson's wife (also Rollo's lover), who gave her life to save Ragnar's sons. Siggy is tenacious and daring. She has always had a strong bond with her father, since she never knew her mother and grew up learning how to fight from Björn and her grandmother, Lagertha. Her dream is to become a shieldmaiden and raid with her family. However, Siggy must face the obstacles of love and her heart breaking past to settle some family complications in order to make her dream a reality. [COMPLETED]

" She could feel his gaze tracing on her back, yet she didn't turn around and acknowledged she understood. She froze in her position, squeezing her eyes shut, hoping he would just go away. Praying to God like they'd taught her, pleading He would be merciful as they'd said, and when He didn't listen hoping someone else might. As if called by a church bell, Father Cuthbert turned around, draught slamming the door right behind him. In payment one tear slid down her rosy cheek. " Based on the TV series VIKINGS. Inspired by the work of @arios2004 Spoils of war.

Astra, The farmers girl in a small village off the north river side in Mydalsa. A poor village it is, but bustling with all types of life forms. All was normal, She went on about her daily duties as the farmer's daughter. She tended to the plants, fed the animals, fetched some water.

To fight is to serve; the greatest duty one can accomplish. To die is to be well regarded as a warrior. To be slain in battle, having overcome countless foes, wading through the mud and blood, mixed so closely you cannot tell one from another; is to rest among your fallen brethren, called to partake of the riches and splendor of the mead hall, Alföðr Odin's reward for these choice warriors.

Jónas' army is vast, and they have surrounded the outnumbered forces; they're plan is to suffocate the smaller army.
