Have not yet started writing chapter 6 (which is annoying, believe me I KNOW), but things that are stirring in my brain are promising. I can't wait for school to give me a goddamn break so I can actually start writing.

Chapter 5 is up!!!!

"She’d watched them, fascinated once again by the subtle and obvious differences she had not thought possible before setting out of England, until one of the men caught sight of her. His short welcome was not uninviting: his sight did linger on her hair a little too long but his free arm reached out to her openly, and a smile that barely showed any teeth was honest."
          
          - A very little something from chapter 5. It's been a loong time but I AM working on it. I swear.

Teaser for chapter 5!
          
          "The people on the farm shifted based on the time of the day; you could never meet all of them by the shore, yet each knew a little something about Frida through unconscious hints she left in regular conversions. Was it the fact she didn’t bear any surname and thus came out of nowhere, or that she knew more than one language so she must have been everywhere - it didn’t matter. The talking had started and soon the tale of a girl with shining hair drifted between friends, neighbours and families."

The relationship Athelstan has with Frida is kind of complicated. 
          
          He sees support in her and a reason for why he isn't completely alone in a world so different to what he's accustomed to, even when he KNOWS that's Frida's true world and she belongs to it, no matter the time she spent at the monastery. And I think it kills him a bit so he chooses to live in oblivion. 
          
          While Frida sees him a bit like a big brother figure. She appreciates all the ‘work’ he’s done to look after her and can see the good faith in his intentions, but he and christianity is still a reminder of the bad things and trauma she’s been through. She pities him because, in all her understanding and similarities she sees between them, she still perceives him as a man corrupted by his religion, which, let's be honest, is not hard to do when you live between such kind of men for a long time. But she cares for him nevertheless.

Honestly, all I've been thinking about is what I have in store for the next seasons instead of writing the next chapter. I'll try to motivate myself for you guys but you'll have to wait for the next chapter bit longer.

Athelstan analizing Frida and her reasons but still getting everything wrong.. Man has known her for her whole life but I swear HE'S INOCCENT

"Bjorn halted first, making Frida run into him as he did it too suddenly. She leaned out from behind him, the flower crown crooked on her head and they both smiled innocently, not even trying to explain themselves. They were welted from the effort and their chests rose quickly, being a total opposite of Gyda whose cheeks were rosy and hair not disheveled."
