It was the last raid of the season, and what a glorious one it had been! Their enemy had been brave and fierce when faced with adversity, but it mattered very little once Aesir unleashed his men upon them. Like the hounds of hell, they had torn through the settlement, murdering and raping, until they stood victorious in the burning wreckage. Now that the battle was over, he could hear his warriors celebrating over the crackle of burning wood and the cries of the conquered, and as much as he wished to join them, his work was not done. Now came the pillaging. Walking down the line of survivors, Aesir examined each one and decided who they would take back to their home as slaves. “This one, this one, and...” He paused in front of a kneeling woman and placed the flat end of his ax underneath her chin. Forcing her to look up, his bright eyes raked every inch of her body, “And this one.”
