The Son Of Ragnar



Tyr was face to face with Salgard, the fact that weapons were not allowed meant that neither could accidentally kill each other unless they meant it. 

Salgard basked in his killing intent, this killing intent was raw and impure, not just anyone could do this. 

This told him one thing and that was that Tyr was worthy of his name. 

"You bastard! What did you do!?" Tyr barked but Salgard was surprised that he was this emotionally invested in people he did not even know for up to a year. 

He heard about how he killed Erik, this news was common among the brothers but them alone. 

It was a guided secret but Salgard wanted to experience what Tyr was about in person. 

Erik was strong but Salgard knew he could defeat him if it came to it, Erik had reached the height of his potential, there was no more room for growth. 

Salgard was an endless vessel of potential, no one could pinpoint why he was so strong. 

"I just told you, I killed her…" Salgard repeated with his creepy smile and this was all Tyr needed to charge at him. 

Salgard was impressed by his speed, he was certainly fast but Salgard had no problems matching his speed.

Tyr attempted to punch him right in the face but Salgard easily caught it with his open palm. 

"Is that it?" Salgard teased but he noticed that Tyr's mouth opened and Salgard instantly ducked down instinctively. 

"What!?" Tyr thought; he was about to spit in his eyes but somehow, Salgard had predicted it.

No, it was safe to say that he sensed something was off the moment Tyr's lips split at such a distance. 

Salgard grabbed his clothes and pulled him over his shoulder and onto the ground. 

"You fight like a savage…" Salgard mocked Tyr as he slowly got up to his feet, looking down at the floored son of Ragnar. 

Tyr knew he needed a calm head, rage would not help him here and the thing with Tyr right now was that he had recollected a better part of his memory and this included new combat skills he utilized in his past life. 

Tyr got up to his feet, he was surprised that Salgard waited for him to do so but this only told him that Salgard planned to humiliate him. 

Tyr began to cackle, and Salgard wondered what he found amusing. 

"You know, I just figured something out…" Tyr said; Salgard was clearly interested in what he had to say.

"I do not care about what happens to Nora or Finn. I just wanted a reason to test you…" Tyr said and this was no bluff, he meant the words that left his lips. 

"But you, Salgard, there is something seriously wrong with you," Tyr said, pointing at him. 

"I am going to teach you that I am not one of your brothers that cower at the sound of your name," Tyr said and Salgard was fascinated by this development because Tyr directed his killing intent at Salgard not because of Nora but for a reason as simple as this?

Salgard welcomed this challenge and Tyr charged at him but he was faster than before, but before he could even get close, he saw the incoming foot of Salgard aimed right at his head. 

Tyr managed to duck down but he felt a concussive force at the back of his head. 

Salgard had utilized the Brazilian kick, Tyr never fought anyone skilled in hand-to-hand combat in terms of technique but Salgard was even scarier unarmed than he was armed. 

Tyr was falling face-first into the ground but he managed to collect himself by using his hands as a spring to launch himself away.

Salgard was impressed by his flexibility but this would make it 2-0, two times that Salgard landed a hit.

Tyr knew he was strong but he was still feeling no killing intent from Salgard. 

Tyr smirked as he moved towards Salgard once again but this time, even faster and Salgard was caught off guard as Tyr managed to land a punch right on his face. 

Tyr showed visible relief because if his fist could touch him, then he could defeat him. 

"I got you, you bastard!" Tyr blurted out but he heard a voice that was not Salgard.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING ATTACKING SALGARD!?" Tyr looked over his shoulder in utter shock. 

It was Thorgard and Frøygard, they looked furious and Tyr looked back at Salgard, he had a sadistic look on his face. 

"You bastard…!" Tyr muttered, Salgard had set him up and now it looked like Tyr had attacked him for no reason.

"Salgard harmed Nora!" Tyr tried to defend himself but Thorgard was confused as he looked to his left.

Then came Nora and Finn eating something, they have been showing them around Rogaland and Nora looked perfectly fine. 

Tyr's only reason for attacking him became null with that reason.

"What is going on here?" Nornua asked.

Salgard allowed Tyr's fist to touch him because he knew Rogaland more than anyone and had specifically told his brothers to show Nora and Finn around on the off chance that Tyr would want to head back to confirm, he would not have met anyone.

And this route was specifically selected. 

"You do not know the rules of Rogaland since you are new…" Salgard said, holding Tyr by the shoulder and forcing him down to his knees. 

Finn tried to rush in but Thorgard stopped him, there was nothing anyone could do as Tyr had violated a sacred law. 

He laid a hand on the King'a family and this could be termed treason in most cases.

Salgard played off his emotions and Tyr's inexperience, he manipulated him into attacking him and when the moment was right, he allowed his hit to give a false narrative of what was happening. 

His brothers were aware he planned on meeting Tyr and he even informed them to come join him as Salgard believed they were not given enough hospitality. 

And right now, in less than two days of being here, Tyr was on the verge of being executed. 

"What the fuck do you think you're doing?" Tyr asked and Thorgard noticed the bandages wrapped around Tyr's head were bleeding. 

He knew Salgard had attacked him but he did not witness so there was nothing he could do in this case. 

Not to mention, that no one dared get on Salgard's bad side. 

"You cannot execute him here, even King Rugalf would not excuse you. He is a son of Ragnar, he should be tried like everyone else…" Thorgard blurted out, this was his last-ditch attempt in saving Tyr because while Salgard was a depraved sadist, he was highly intelligent. Salgard listened to his younger brother and Tyr found himself at the jaws of death once again.
