    The last thing that Björn wanted to do, was go to battle with his brother, with his brothers. That was so disrespectful to his father’s legacy, and they may have been victorious the first battle, but it was not over. There was a bigger battle coming, and he knew that they had to play it very carefully, have the most amount of allies as possible. They had people, they had the Sami. But, they would need more. He found himself back inside the Great Hall, and his eyes skimmed the crowd, hearing some people refer to the Christian they’d taken from the battle, who was part of Ivar’s camp. Another Christian. He was fairly certain this one couldn’t be as interesting as Athelstan had been, but he still had to see what they could gain, how they could add him as an ally, since the men had said, even though he’d been injured, he could fight.

  Finally, Björn found him and he cocked his head, taking him in. “I hear you can fight, Christian, that even though you are a prisoner in our camp now, not Ivar’s, that you can fight. Is that true?”

the bishop lowered his gaze, weary from his long journey. “i can freely admit that i wish the very same of myself. i never seem to truly know my own heart. i am at war with two halves, though i am determined that the devout man of god should win.”

The young King was surprised to see Bishop Heahmund again.  He knew that the Northmen, that Ivar had captured him and he figured they’d kill him. Ivar wasn’t the most tolerant, so to see him again, was rather shocking, and he wasn’t entirely sure that he trusted the man.  He’d not forgotten his conversation with Hvitserk, when he’d told him about the injuries, and the source of them. That was not how Alfred had wanted Ubbe and Hvitserk treated.  Anymore, he was learning to be careful, who he trusted.  He was still figuring out himself, and who he was as King.  “The devout man of God should be the side you are most sure of.  You are man of God, and God should be the one that you wish to serve, not man and not any sin of the flesh, including arrogance.”  He rem embered when Aethelwulf had told him that he was not humble.  “If you are prepared to serve God, we can continue to speak but if you are here on behalf of the men who took you, especially Ivar the Boness, a man who killed our people and enjoyed it, then you should never have returned. The choice is up to you, Bishop. Our God has given us free will.”

ananyzapata replied to your post “ananyzapata replied to your post: ananyzapata ...”

so, when you die, you'll be in christian heaven or hell, not your pagan asgard.

You have no proof they truly exist, any more than I have proof that mine exist.

there  was  no  GREAT KING  or  POWERFUL BISHOP  for  him  to  speak  with  in  the  City.  only  a  girl,  silver - haired  and  violet - eyed.  they  called  her  THEIR QUEEN  and  told  queer  tales  of  how  the  FIRE HAD NOT BURNED HER.  descended  from  the  NOBLE HOUSES OF ROME,  from  Augustus  himself.  she  had  invited  them  into  her  mance  all  the  same,  a  strange,  angular  structure  upon  the  shore - line  of  Meereen,  where  she  sat  upon  purple  cushions.  platters  of  fruit  and  fish  were  brought  to  him  and  his  escorts  while  the  spoke  SWIFT INTRODUCTIONS. 

‘    you  won’t  find  many  who  follow  THE CHRISTIAN GOD  here,  Father.    ‘      Dany  admitted.  many  of  her  people  were  Pagans,  and  many  more  Muslim.  she  herself  was  not  PIOUS,  though  she  found  herself  gravitating  to  the  GOD OF HER HOMELAND.      ‘    but  i  shall  see  to  your  PROTECTION.    ‘      she  was  the  strangest  contradiction :    snow - pale  skin,  light  eyes,  like  the  NORTH  MEN,  yet  she  spoke  still  with  a  Wessex  accent.  despite  it  all  her  clothes  were  EASTERN    ------    and  far  too  revealing.  

‘    i’ve  never  before  met  a  BISHOP.    ‘      she  admitted.  there  was  some  NERVOUS  part  of  her,  made  bigger  by  her  lacking  experience,  that  feared  she  would  not  know  what  to  say.      ‘    though  my  brother  TOLD ME STORIES,  of  the  Saints,  and  of  Bede  the  Venerable.    ‘

@ananyzapata ll cont.

Such open rancor brought a smile, unseen, to the goddess’ face. Studying this bishop’s silhouette through the fabric of her veil, Hel began to speak, low and perhaps too sweet. “It means these Northmen ride with Odin’s name on their lips, and forget the Guardian of Graves is among them, how she takes all those battle denied. It means that where true faith walks, she comes to take the convert and the sacrifice. It means you should all pray her mercy and her dishonor as your foreign god forsakes you, as the raiders ride on with their swords, with their slaughter.”

@ananyzapata SIN

              Mellario had expected him to flush bright red, to stumble over his words, scramble for a reply, other than simply agreeing, but instead of instant satisfaction, she was rewarded with something much greater. first he displayed a great deal of surprise and then questioning, his expression stern. one might almost say Challenging. 

             The smile she flashed at the bishop was bright, her teeth on display like a she wolf on the hunt. the gleam in her eyes more than saying, he hadn’t miss understood her. ❝Did you give yourself to the church before you got to truly know a woman?❞ she takes a step closer to him. ❝when a woman says she’s wet, she often means she want to have carnal relations.❞

“You won't win you know,” he spoke softly to the priest who appeared to be praying for victory in a battle.
