The Son Of Ragnar



Kolbeinn had a choice to make and the eyes with which he looked at Tyr, changed. 

He did not understand how he was so blinded that he could not see the obvious signs but he wanted to confirm from Tyr. 

"I want him to tell me…." Kolbeinn muttered and Sighvatur sighed upon hearing this.

"I do not think he is still alive…" Sighvatur said, gesturing for one of his men to check to which they did. 

"He still has a pulse, Chieftain," The Viking said and Sighvatur gave him the go-ahead to treat him. 

Tyr was exhausted, and the blood loss was quite something but none of these wounds hit anything vital so he was good. 

"He has gained a partial immunity to the poison…" Sighvatur thought to himself, revealing this was the real reason as to why he collapsed although the blood loss also played a vital part. 

No one knew if he would survive even if he was treated, but it was worth giving it a shot. 

"Stand down…" Kolbeinn blurred out, and this showed he no longer had any intention of fighting Sighvatur. 

This was not a boy worth saving, he knew he had made a mistake losing so many good men for this cause, including his daughter. 

Kolbeinn just began to weep, he was overwhelmed by the emotions he was feeling because he sacrificed his daughter for this sick bastard.

Tyr turned their clans against each other, Kolbeinn would have still been alright if he did not challenge Gissur or gotten involved with the whole mess.

He would still have his daughter.

The longer he looked at the unconscious Tyr, the angrier he got and this was something that Sighvatur did not miss. 

Even men under Gissur were on this battlefield and their rage was directed towards Tyr. 

Information was indeed powerful and Sighvatur managed to turn this situation around with just that.

Kjell sat back, wondering what the outcome of the war would be like as he was not sure if Bjorn would be enough for Aksel but the look in his eyes convinced him. 

Bjorn was different from the uncertain child he met many years ago in the war even though Kjell did not cross swords with him and what he saw of Bjorn being short-lived as he was more focused on his own battles. 

If Aksel was to fall, that would be one less liability that Signy had to deal with but Kjell was also aware of Rugalf's interest in Tyr. 

Kjell knew killing Tyr will open a lot of boxes that were not meant to be opened but if the sons of Ragnar could grow at this pace then that said a lot about Ragnar as their father because he was responsible for the fundamentals in whatever training method he taught them. 

"We have reports from our scout, Earl Kjell!" A warrior said to him, out of breath and Kjell permitted him to carry on with this report. 

"It is about The Ragnarsson! He is alive!" The Vikings said and Kjell could not contain his excitement as his face contorted into a smile and that soon escalated into a smile. 

"That is fascinating! That is fucking fascinating!" Kjell was elated and everyone was surprised to see him so happy. 

"What do you want to do, Earl Kjell?" The Viking asked but Kjell stood up from the chair he was seated on. 

"Nothing, I do not want to do anything! Tyr Ragnarsson will write his own story and we will all witness it! King Signy needs him, King Signy needs him to grow!" Kjell blurted out, and his men just shook their heads. 

This was a side of him they have missed, the fire had died after the war but it was ironic that an enemy was the one to ignite it. 

Kjell had a point, Signy had grown ever since he focused his rage and attention on Tyr, and taking Tyr away would do more harm than good.

Kjell was eager to see it through, Jan was a pawn in a much bigger game that Signy was playing.

Bjorn and co were journeying, luckily they had faint footprints in the snow and the fact that it had not snowed for a few days was a bonus as this meant the prints remained for an extended period. 

The fact that they were on horses made it a lot easier for them to travel as this impacted their travel speed, allowing them to travel much faster. 

Gudrun did not understand why she was drawn to Bjorn but she was stealing glances all through the journey, and Nora noticed this. 

But she kept quiet because it was not in her place to call Gudrun's attention to it as she was in a relationship with two brothers so she understood.

She was young and of that age, Bjorn was attractive so she could not blame her, and she was unsure of her relationship with Tyr.

"How fucking long do we need to travel!?" Viggo shouted but this seemed to irritate Nora because he has been complaining since the journey began like a whimpering child.

"We will soon be there, you just have to be patient…" Nora responded, she wanted to curse him out but she chose to maintain her cool.

Bjorn neared as his eyes narrowed, he could see something in the distance. He was cautious as he instructed everyone to slow down because he did not know what lay ahead.

Viggo noticed his commander's caution and he immediately kept quiet and held the hilt of his blade with Ivan following suit because why not? 

They began to travel at a much slower pace, Bjorn knew he was strong but he did not want to fight battles he did not need to. 

"Everyone, stay behind me, I will go first," Bjorn said, and Nora was surprised because if he went ahead first, he would be an easy target for whatever lay ahead but Bjorn was a leader that led by example, and this was why everyone respected him but there was no doubt about it, they had arrived at Sighvatur's camp.
