Favored By The Gods

guy: Ivar

name: Brooke type of imagine: Fluffy Smut Ivar and I have been trying for a baby for 2 years and we decided to try one more time and if it doesn’t work we’ll start looking at adoption and after a week and a half after I've been getting sick lately and Ivar was there he told me he’d take me to the healers to get it checked and if I’m not pregnant then we’ll look into adoption. We go and I’ve been pregnant for 2 months and Ivar is just over the moon about it and is so happy he’s been there every step of the way in my pregnancy then I go into labor and we ended having triplets 2 boys named both boys have his ice blue eyes. Ones named after him, and ones named is Floki Ragnar Lothbrok and a little baby girl named Helga Aslaug Lothbrok and she has one Ice blue eye and one Hazel eye.

So, I was asked to do a request this is a Fluffy Smut. First time doing this so apologizes it isn't the greatest.

Ivar and Brooke have been trying to have a baby for about two years now, and all hope was starting to be lost when each moon that passed and you would start to bleed. Both you and Ivar were devestated, but tried to remain somewhat hopeful. Before the next moon both you and Ivar discussed that if this didn't work that you both would look at other options such as adoption.

So after you finished bleeding, both you and Ivar got right back to business of having fun. Ivar always hated when you bled because you were depressed, plus you didn't want to get him all bloody. Ivar never minded the blood, honestly but he hated seeing you so down and blaming yourself. He blamed himself, in the back of his mind he thought that he was unpotented and unable to have sons.

One night after a big feast, Ivar pulled you onto his lap and whipsered into your ear;

"My sweet Brooke, I just can't keep my hands to myself you look rather ravishing my little dove"

You smiled, and shivered as Ivar grazed gently the shell of your ear with his teeth. Feeling his kisses start to move down to your neck, hitting you just behind your ear, hitting that little sweet spot that made your womanhood ache for Ivar. Ivar's hands started to roam and soon his hands went under your skirt, he gripped your thighs causing you to jump a little as he started to lightly touch your womanhood. You leaned your head back onto Ivar's shoulder, closing your eyes at the sensation that your husband was doing to you. Ivar growled and bit his lip and said softly in your ear;

"already so wet for me, my little dove"

You bit your lip as Ivar started to swipe his fingers along your wet folds, you parted your legs for him a bit more, and soon he found your rather sensitive bud and started to motion his finger in a circle pattern causing you to gasp. You then realized that you were two weren't in the private chambers of your bedroom but in a crowded hall full of Vikings. You reached down and grabbed ahold of Ivar's hand, and he smiled and said;

"You want to help, my little dove?"

You smiled at him and shifted your body so you were facing him, his eyes were dark and filled with lust. He pulled you into a kiss, that you didn't want to break but you needed to say something to him, once your lips parted you said;

"Ivar, mm wait"

Trying to catch your breath, he than said;

"What is my love?"

You then said, as you bit your lip;

"We should go .. now"

With that both of you left the feast and headed to your home, Ivar walking with his crutches, but as you both were walking you couldn't exactly keep your hands or kisses to yourselves. As you were walking down, a somewhat alley type between two homes that lead to your little hut. Ivar pushed you up against one of the huts, pressing his entire body against yours. It felt as if your bodies were molding into one, Ivar kissed you vigerissly. His tongue danced with yours, his hands gripped your backside and your breasts, he groaned as your hips grinded against Ivar's. You turned your head towards your home that wasn't that far and you said through lustful breaths;

"Love, we are almost home"

Ivar let out a growl that came from deep within his chest, and he placed his hands on either side of you, and tried to pull himself from you and said;

"I don't know if I can wait till we get home, my little dove. I want you right now, I want to be inside you, I want you to scream my name"

You bit your lip as you listened to your husband, you then went under his arms and slowly walked backwards towards your home. Ivar looking as you as if you were his prey, his eyes never left you and you started to slowly undress as you got closer to the house. Ivar was biting his lip despretly as he watched you slowly become naked in front of him. He tried to move as fast as his crutches would let him, he was out of breath and once he came through the front door there you were standing completely naked for him. You smiled at him devilishly, slowly gestured with your finger from him to come closer to you, he inhaled deeply taking a few moments just taking in the sight of you. You were perfect, just simply perfect and Ivar let his eyes roam over every curve of your body and he started to walk towards you. He stopped in front of you and you brought your hands slowly up to his chest, neck and face. Your foreheads were rest against each other and you pressed your lips to his, slowly untying his armor that was around his torso.

Once you got that off and let it drop to the floor, Ivar smiled down at you and you up to him and you gripped the hem of his tunic and lifted it up and over his head. You bit your lip at your husbands well muscled torso, his arms were flexing with every little movement and your eyes seemed to sparkle at just how perfect you thought your husband is. You moved back to the bed of furs, and Ivar moved to the bed and plopped down beside you. He then started to undo his braces, you watched and got down on your knees and helped him. Normally he didn't let anyone help him with his braces, not even you his wife but you always told him to trust you and believe that you loved him, every single part of him no matter what.

You slowly undid his braces and gently took them off. Then you got up, kissing Ivar on the lips and you pushed him back so you could straddle him. His calloused hands slid up your smooth body, giving you goosebumps all along your skin. You moaned against his touch, and once his hands found your hips he started to move you into him. You responded by grinding your exposed womanhood against his hard member, his fabric rough against you. You started to kiss him from his neck down to his chest, slightly nipping as you made your way done and Ivar wincing with each little nip you gave him. You sucked, licked and nipped your way down all the way to his trousers, you knew there would be little bruises there in the morning.

 You untied his trousers and slowly pulled them down, you kissed up his legs with little butterfly kisses and looked up to him smiling down at you. He reached for you and you crawled up his body, he pushed your hair back away from your face and gave you the most passionate kiss ever. It was as if your body was electricuted, and Ivar rolled you over to where he was on top. He aliagned himself with your wet entrance, rubbed himself on you and you said;

"Stop teasing me, Ivar"

Ivar smiled down at you, bit his lip and pushed himself inside you slowly. Both of you gasping at the feeling, and soon both your hips started to move with one another. His pace started to quicken, your walls started to tighten around him, both your moans and groans filled your home. You were both close to your release, and soon enough you both climaxed at the same time, Ivar filling you with his warm seed, coating every inch of your walls and he didn't leave you instead you both laid there in each other's embrace, Ivar laying still in between your legs putting some weight on you but not so much that he was crushing you.

You ran your hands along his back and through his hair, he hummed at the feeling and you smiled to yourself as you were enjoying this closeness with the man you desired most in the world. Ivar eventually rolled off to the side of you, and he pulled you into his side where you rested your head against his chest. He was playing with your hair and his other hand was gently grazing your upper thigh that was over his waist. Listening to his heartbeat was rather soothing, then you said as you tried to look up to him;

"No matter what the Gods have in store for us my love, I'm glad they brought you into my life"

He looked down to you, brought his hand up to your chin and slowly leaned in and placed a tender loving kiss upon your lips. You felt him smile against your lips, and soon you both fell into a deep sleep.

The next few weeks, were normal both you and Ivar making love almost everynight sometimes twice or amazingly three times when he was feeling rather feisty. You always loved watching him train, this round though you didn't pay attention to the moons that come and passed. You started to notice that you have become more tired lately. Sleeping longer than usual, smelling and feeling nauseated to smells that you thought you were use too, then you started throwing up. You didn't exactly tell Ivar right away, fearing that sickness has come for you and you weren't ready to leave yet.

While you were out watching Ivar train with his brothers, you couldn't help but feel ill and as you thought you could sneak away to go get sick. That didn't go unnoticed, as you walked off towards the woods, Ivar noticed and followed you. He crawled up on you while you were hurling behind a big oak, worry soon overcame him and he asked catching you off gurad and startling you slightly;

"What's the matter my love?"

You turned to him, wiping your mouth and said;

"Ivar, you .. scared me"

You inhaled deeply and walked over to a stump that wasn't far from you and you said there taking in breathes and Ivar crawled to your side and said;

"Are you ill?"

You took a minute or two, he looked so worried concern was etched across his face and you said softly;

"Uh, I'm not sure Ivar. I.. I don't feel sick"

Ivar's brows furrowed in a confused state and he said;

"You don't feel sick? Yet you were just getting sick no more than a few moments ago?"

You couldn't help but smile at his comment, then you answered through a little giggle;

" Well, i did feel sick but the moment i threw up that feeling went away"

Ivar leaned in and pressed the back of his hand to your forehead to see if you were running a fever. You felt normal, then he said;

"We should go to the healers, just to make sure you are alright my love"

You nodded in agreement, soon you two were at the healers waiting patiently as she looked you over. Ivar was getting rather inpatient and snapped at the old healer;

"Well, what is wrong with my wife healer?!"

She knew of the prince's temper and was actually quite familiar with it and smiled at the both of you. You both looked to one another and waited for her to answer then she said softly;

"My young prince, there is nothing wrong with your wife."

You both were confused, then Ivar said rather angrily;

"What you mean theres nothing wrong with her? she shouldn't be throwing up for nothing? Have you gone mad?"

You tried to calm Ivar down, then before Ivar could say more the healer said;

"You are right, my prince. She shouldn't be throwing up for nothing, but she is perfectly fine and she is with child.."

Both you and Ivar were in shock, your mouths hung ajar and you said softly;

"Wh.wha..what?"

Your eyes were starting to fill with tears, and she repeated;

"My dear Brooke, you are with child"

Your smile grew, tears started to fall from your eyes and you looked to your husband who was in pure shock but also had tears in his eyes and he looked at you and you said through happy sobs;

"My love, we are with child."

He looked at you, down to your belly and back to your eyes and hugged you. After hugging you, he leaned down to your belly and kissed it gently and said softly;

"My child.."

After finding out you were with child, Ivar rarely let you out of his sight. You were never alone, if Ivar wasn't with you one of his brothers were or a healer. Ivar loved seeing your belly swell from his seed, he was rather proud to see you wobble about. Whenever Ivar was beside you his hand was forever on your belly, feeling his child kick and move within.

However as you noticed you were growing rather big quickly and you noticed odd moment when you knew your child was in a certain area and you would feel another kick on the other side. You told the healer, both you and Ivar were concerned and to your big surprise the healer told you that you both would be having not one child but possibly two.

The Gods not only given you one child but were giving you two, and Ivar was thrilled. You thought the Gods truly favored your husband more than most at this point. Soon, it was time to deliver and Ivar was a mess waiting outside of the great hall with his brother's trying to relax him. He couldn't relax, he could hear you screaming in pain and he coudln't do anything about it. All he wanted to do was go in and be by your side. Ivar's eyes were huge, and full of worry and Ubbe said as he patted his younger brother's shoulder;

"Soon brother, you shall be a father"

Ivar let out an uneasy breath, he snapped his head towards the doors as he heard you scream in agony and he said;

"I should be in there! She needs me!"

Ubbe then said before Ivar could move;

"The healer told you to wait out here brother" Ivar looked at Ubbe harshly and said;

"That is my wife in there! Having my Child! Im the prince! I shouldn't be waiting out here!"

You screamed again, this time calling for Ivar and Ivar didn't waste anytime he started to crawl into the room. He seen you sitting at the edge of the bed, sweaty, out of breath and in pain. Ivar stopped, shocked at the sight for a moment then hurried to your side. He crawled up onto the bed, and held you close and said;

"I'm here my love, you can do this"

You inhaled deeply and rested your tired head against Ivar's shoulder, he gripped your hand as you did then the healer said to you;

"Okay my dear brooke, its about time to push"

With that said, you sat up ready to push and Ivar was supporting you when the healer told you to push you started to push with every ounce of strength you had in your body. You screamed in pain, and when she told you to stop pushing you did and when she told you to push you did. The pain you felt was unbearable but you knew it was going to be worth it in the end. One last big push, and a moment later you felt relief and soon a baby started to cry.

You leaned back on Ivar, out of breath, crying and you both looked over to the healer who had a bloody, tiny little crying baby in her hands and she looked to you both and said;

"It's a boy, my dear brooke and prince Ivar. Healthy baby boy"

You let out a lttle laugh cry and looked to your husband who looked in awe at his first born son, and back down to you with such love and pride for giving him his son. The healer cut the cord and passed the baby to a thrall that was going to clean him up. The healer then said;

"Okay my dear brooke, get ready to push again"

You were tired but you knew you had to do it again, the Gods chose you to bring Ivar the boneless' children into this world and you knew you were going to be the one to raise them along side your husband, so you got ready to do it again. The healer told you to push and you pushed hard, and after a heart retching cry you felt that same relief again and you heard your second child cry. Ivar had tears in his eyes this time when the healer showed him his second son. Ivar kissed your forehead and you rested your weight on him once more. As you were resting, the healer looked between your legs and looked at you with a shocked look and you both noticed and Ivar said with concern;

"What? what is the matter, healer?!"

The healer was shocked, she didn't know what to say and Ivar yelled;

"Speak Healer!"

His booming voice brought her back to reality and she said;

"You need to prepare for another birth my dear Brooke"

You looked at her with enourmous eyes and said in a weak shaky voice;

"What?"

Ivar too was confused and the healer said as she was preparing for another birth;

"Yes, you are having another child.. the Gods have not only blessed you with one child, and not with two but three children my prince"

Soon you felt like you needed to push and so you didn it once more, and you literally felt like you were going to die but you pushed and prayed to the Gods for strength and soon you heard a little cry. You were so weak, you thought you weren't going to make it but Ivar never left your side and the healer held up your third child and said proudly;

"Would you look at that, my dear brooke and prince Ivar you have yourself a beautiful little shield maiden"

You looked at your daughter, you couldn't believe that you and Ivar have a daughter, you could see in your husbands eyes that the moment he laid his eyes on his daughter she had him wrapped around her little fingers. Soon the healer cleaned you up, you were resting on the bed with your husband, and the thralls brought you your children. Ivar was holding both his sons in each of his arms and you were holding your daughter. Ivar was so amazed, and he looked at you with so much love and admiration. He than said as he looked from his beautiful children to his beautiful wife;

"You are truly amazing my love, you have not only given and shown me love but you have given me not one, not two but three beautiful children"

You were still in disbelief that you have just given birth to three children, and that you were still alive to cherish this moment. You looked to your husband and said;

"The Gods truly favour you my husband, Ivar the Boneless your legacy will forever live on through our children"

Ivar leaned in and placed a tender, loving kiss to your lips and just as you were about to part your little daughter decided to coo making both you and your husband giggle and look down to the little beauty in awe.

You looked down at her and to her brothers and said softly;

"You know, we still have to name them my love"

Ivar smiled, and he looked to you and said in an almost whisper;

"What do you have in mind?"

You looked at your first born who was now suckling at your breast, looking at you with eyes just like his fathers and said with a smile;

"Our first born, I want to name him after you. Ivar Ivarsson"

Your husband, looked at you as if he couldn't believe that you would want to name your first born son after him and then he looked down to his second son, who opened his eyes and it was as if Ivar was looking at himself said;

"Than we shall name our second son, Floki Ragnar Ivarsson"

You agreed with him and you both looked to your daughter who was clutching rather tightly to her father's finger. Ivar looked over his little beauty and then to you and said;

"What shall we name our little shield maiden?"

You smiled at your little princess and then to your husband and said;

"After our mother's, well Helga was like the mother i never had so.. Helga Aslaug Ivarsdottir"

Ivar looked at you and back down to the litte girl and repeated softly to her;

"Helga Aslaug Ivarsdottir"

As he said that, it was as if she was agreeing to the name and she decided to open her eyes. You were expecting to see your husbands piercing blue eyes staring back at you just like your two sons but to both your surpirse your daughter was more than unquie she had one piercing blue eye and one hazel eye. Ivar looked at you and said;

"Look's like she has a more of you then just my looks wife"

Imagine your brother Ivar and you go with your father Ragnar to England / Chapter One

- This was a request, that turned into a chapter so there will be more. So hope you guys like this little journey that we are going to be going on. .. hope you all like it. This imagine is based on the Viking series, so everything i wrote down you should remember if you are a true Viking fan. I just twisted the original story line a little so my follower that requested it will enjoy it and i hope to all that read this enjoy it as well. -

You and your brothers were at the cabin when your half brother Bjorn arrived with the news about the settlements back in England. Your brother's were shocked and furious with the thought that it was possible that your father Ragnar knew but chose not to tell anyone. Or if he did know, he just simply didn't care. You sat next to your brother Ivar, the two of you were incredibly close considering it was always the two of you that were always left out of activities that your other brothers participated in. Because of his legs Ivar was displayed as an outsider, and you being the youngest and being the only girl they always made it seem like you were to delicate for anything. Ivar and you grew close because it was always you two together, eventually once Ivar started to train he included you. Your other brother's finally included you in the training and as you got bigger and they started to treat you and Ivar equally. Your brother's argued about your father and they were upset with for him abandoning you all, you were all just children when he up and left after the defeat against your uncle Rollo back in Paris. You wanted to say something but you didn't because you weren't sure if you wanted to see your father again, considering everything that has happened. Just then Ubbe said while looking at everyone; " If it is true that our father lied to his people and abandoned them, then I hope he never comes back " Hvisterk said with anger in his tone; " He betrayed our name ! If he ever came back, I would kill him " You looked at your brothers, you couldn't believe what you were hearing, you looked to your brother Ivar while he drank his ale then Sigurd added; " Me too " Ivar finished his ale and tossed the cup to Sigurd's feet and he spat; " Screw you ! All of you ! He never did anything wrong, he is our father. That's the end of it, you all sound like a bunch of Christian's " You could hear the despise in his voice as those words left his lips, than Ubbe said as he looked at Ivar; " I love our father, just as much as you do. " Ivar huffing at Ubbe's response and he said; " Who said I loved him, huh ? I said I admired him, he's Viking. ..." You all looking at each other than Ivar added towards Ubbe; " You are soft. .. " Ubbe annoyed with Ivar's comment, he got up and walked over towards Ivar and knelt down in front of him; " I am not soft ! None of us is soft, but we want to understand what our father did and what he was. As his son his fame does not interest me. What he used his power for, now that would interest me " You listened intently to your older brother's words, then Hvisterk said; " by now my brother's and my sister there will be a lot of anger in Kattegat, now they know the truth .. Our father betrayed a whole generation of people " Sigurd added; " so if he eve .. " Bjorn cut him off; " I don't think he's ever coming back. .. " He looked at all of us, Ivar hated hearing these words as you did but you couldn't help but think that Bjorn was probably right. Bjorn then continued to say calmly; " I think what happened in Paris finally broke him, you can all say whatever you want but he was a human .. People started to talk as if he was a god, he was not a god he was man ! A man with many dreams and many failures, I've learned that in the years since he went away .. If I was him, I wouldn't come back. " Bjorn was making sense and making you and your brother's see that your father, was still your father no matter what. Bjorn added; " Despite all his failures he's till the greatest man in the world to me "

We all looked at Bjorn, because everything he said was true. No matter what he was still our father. Still the greatest man that we all have ever known. You all went back home to Kattegat, you were walking through the market. Bjorn took off and you and your brother's were taking your time walking through the streets when people starting whispering and you kept walking when you lost your brothers. You followed Ivar, but there was too many people and you lost him for a moment. Ubbe, Hvisterk and Sigurd made their way through the crowd to come face to face with our father, Ragnar. Ivar crawled and laid his crystal blue eyes upon his father, and you pushing your way through when you said to your brothers; " what are you all looking . . " You looked up to see your father, you were stunned and your mouth fell ajar and you said in an almost whisper; " father. . " Your father looked at the 5 of you, his eyes grew wide astonished at the sight of his children after how long away. Your brothers had their swords drawn, you stood beside Ivar and just couldn't take your eyes off your father. Ragnar looked down to his son Ivar and walked towards him with a smile and stopped in front of him, Ivar looked up at him with a smile and Ragnar said; " Hello Ivar, there's no mistaking you " Then he looked to you, you inhaled deeply as he looked at you and he said as he moved a step closer and said softly; " Y/N my daughter, you have grown beautifully " You looked at him, your eyes sparking and welling up with tears but you refused them to fall then Ragnar said as he looked at your brothers and at the surrounding people that gathered; " It appears my return is not .. welcome, it seems you all made your minds up about me " Ragnar paused for a moment, and started to walk and he continued; " I can not blame you for that. .." Ragnar stopped in front of Sigurd and he said; " so .. boys, whos going to do it then? " Ragnar looked at his boys and said sarcastically; " whos going to kill me ? " We all looked at each other, and he said; " I don't mind, go ahead. . please " He walked over to Hvisterk and stood in front of him; " What about you Hvisterk ? You think your a man now ? huh ? I dare you .. " Ragnar then said softly; " put me out of my misery, do it do it " Ragnar pushed Hvisterk and egged him on and he yelled; " DO IT! " Hvisterk jumped as you did, you gripped Ivar's shoulder in fear and your father yelled; " Look at these people ! They no longer support me ! " Ragnar walked to the middle of the ground, arms raised out and looking from the people to and back to us and he continued; " Why would they, I am your leader and I just left, what kind of a leader does that ? huh ? WHAT KIND OF A KING ABANDONS HIS PEOPLE ?! " Ragnar looked over to us, and we looked at him and he walked over towards us and stopped halfway and said in a heartbreaking tone; " what kind of a father abandons his children " You all stared at him, never looking away and he said once again; " so who wants to be king ? " Ragnar getting furious at the lack of response, he grips his sword and pulls it out and turns to the people saying loudly; " so you all know how this works, if you want to be king you must kill me " He walked in the circle of people, handing his sword to the first man he saw; " take it ? " The man refused and Ragnar said; " no ? " He then went to the next man and the next and said; " you ? what about you ? huh ? no ! no ! " Ragnar turned around and stabbed his sword into the earth and yelled; " Who Wants To Be King?! "

He then looked towards Sigurd and walked over to him and stood face to face with him, inches away and he said; " what about you Sigurd, do you want to be king ? " You all looked over intensely and Sigurd didn't say a word then Ragnar looked over to Ubbe and walked over to him; " You want to be King, Ubbe .. kill me and you are king " He gripped Ubbe's shoulder and gestured to him for the crowd; " King Ubbe " Ragnar quickly turned back to face Ubbe, he was smiling at Ubbe then he slapped him and said; " What are you waiting for !? " Ragnar hit him again and yelled; " Are you afraid ?! Be a man "

Your brother Ubbe didn't do anything, just stared at our father then Ragnar took breathes in and he looked at around at us and he looked at you and backed away from Ubbe. He placed a hand on top your brother Ivar's head, and he his other hand on the side of your face. He backed away slowly, turned and walked back out of Kattegat. You couldn't really put what had just happened together, but the 5 of you eventually turned and walked back to the Great Hall.

You and Ivar stayed at the Great Hall while the other brother's found Bjorn and went out to look for Ragnar. Your brother's didn't return very happy and the two of you didn't ask any questions. Time passed and your brother Ivar crawled onto mother's throne and you stood beside him talking about father when suddenly father walked through the doors. You both looked at him and he walked in slowly looking around and he made it to his throne, took a few moments to take in and remembering his kingdom. You didn't say anything, you and your brother shared a look as father just sat in his throne and Ivar said; " You know that mother didn't let anyone sit on your throne since you left . . she always hoped that one day you would return ... " Father didn't answer and Ivar said; " why don't you talk to mother ? " Ragnar looked to you and Ivar; " I will " Ivar looked ahead and you didn't know what to say, it was late and you thought maybe you should head to bed but before your father decided to show up unexpectedly Ivar asked you to stay by his side. You sat there looking at your brother and father in the thrones then Ivar said out of the blue; " wait for everyone to go to sleep and then like a crab in the moonlight I would crawl out here and sit on your throne .. " He looked over to Ragnar and continued; " and just. .. think " Ragnar smiling to Ivar; " About what ? " Ivar looked back at Ragnar and said with more anger in his tone; " About how you abandoned me ... and my heart would fill with anger " Ivar laughs and says; " I would try to will my stupid legs to work so I could go out and find you and tell you how much .. I needed you, how much I hated you "

You felt the lump in your throat hearing how much pain your father caused your brother to feel, you didn't know about this and Ivar never kept anything from you. You sat there and looked down, the silence in the room was deafening and Ragnar looking between you and Ivar he than said; " Well, perhaps I'll explain my actions when we go to England " Both you and Ivar's heads snapped in the direction of your father and Ivar's brows furrowed and he said sarcastically; " When we go to England ? " Ragnar looking ahead and gesturing slightly with his hands; " That is what I said " Ivar spat out; " What use is a cripple on such a journey ?! " Ragnar let out a aggravated grunt and said; " Ahh well don't come " Ivar responded quickly; " Don't tell me what to do ! " Ragnar added; " Then come " Ivar without hesitation; " no " Ragnar looked to Ivar and Ivar leaned in towards your father and said; " Not unless you ask me.. the way you asked my brothers " Ragnar took a deep breath in, smiled and leaned in towards Ivar and said softly; " Ivar .." Ivar interrupted him before he could say more; " Of course I'll come "

Ivar sat back in the throne and looked ahead, your father just looked at him then to you and he sat back in the throne. You thought for a second or two before you announced to your father and brother; " You two are taking me with you " Both of the them looked at you instantly, and Ivar said; " Are you crazy, you could die " You reacted quickly with a response; " So could you brother " You looked to your father who was sitting silently looking at you and he said; " Y/N .. " You didn't give him a chance to say anything; " No father, you not leaving me here while you take my brother and not me as well. "

Ivar looked to his father and then back to you with a slight smile. Ragnar then gave you a smile and nodded lightly because he knew there was no one that would be stopping you from tagging along. Next morning, Ivar was still sitting on mother's throne but you went to bed and when you arrived back at the Great Hall he was still there. Mother smiled and walked up to him; Ivar smiled and said; " Y/N and I are going with father " Aslaug's face changed quickly as she heard Ivar say those words and asked; " What do you mean ? " Ivar looked at her, still with a grin on his face and answered her; " We are sailing to England " Aslaug's eyes became infuriated and she managed to still smile and she said in a low as if she was trying to keep herself from yelling; " Tell your father. . I need to speak with him, he can't avoid me any longer " Ivar nodded, you mother let out a distressed breath and headed back to her chambers. You walked up to Ivar and said; " You told mother we were going to England with father? " Ivar smiled at you and said; " Yes, she was going to find out sooner or later " You huffed lightly and said to your brother; " We better prepare brother "

Ivar got off the throne and the two of you left the Great Hall. Before the day that you and your brother would sail to England with your father was only a few days away, in that time you two must get ready. Ivar and you were sitting with your other brother's, Sigurd and Ubbe. Hvisterk and Bjorn already set sail on their journey. Ivar said as everyone was eating; " Y/N and I are going with father " The boys went silent, their eyes went big with surprise and Sigurd said through laughter; " Wh ..What ?! This is a joke ? " You and Ivar looked to your brother said Ivar said; " No, it isn't. He asked us and we agreed " Ubbe looking at you and Ivar and said; " You will die " Ivar spat out; " Why ?! because I am a cripple and she is woman ? " Ubbe tried to explain; " No, that’s not what I meant ” You spoke before Ivar could say anything; " Look, he asked you all first to go along with him. . and you refused, why should Ivar and I refuse him when he's giving us an opportunity to show the gods that we are worthy ? "

The brother's looked at each other and back to you and Ivar and you continued; " He's our father, and if we die at least we die together "

You looked to your brother Ivar and smiled then to your other brother's who didn't say anything and Ubbe gave you a smile and reached for your hand and squeezed it gently. You smiled at his gesture.

It was the day before Ivar, you and your father would set sail for England. You and your brother were watching people finish getting ready down in the market, people finishing up the boats, grabbing supplies. You weren't really paying attention you were busy sitting back against the rock looking at the sea, you loved the sea. Just then you hear your mother calling our names frantically and Ivar seeing our mother he then said calmly; " mother .. " She looked to us and we gave her our attention and she catches her breath taking in the sight of us and says while she walks over to us; " You two can't go " Before you could say anything Ivar says; " What are you talking about ? " Your mother says as she sits beside Ivar; " There's going to be a storm, everything will end in disaster " You and Ivar glanced at each other, then to your mother and he says in a disappointed tone; " You have seen that ? " She heard the disappointment in his voice and she replies; " Yes, I've seen it " She takes a few moments to hold back the lump in her throat as she says tho her voice cracks with fear; " You will both drown .. I've seen it, you can't go " She touches Ivar in a desperate attempt to try and convince him to stay and he said with his hand up; " Stop. .. telling me what to do mother "

He looks up at her, and you didn't say anything at this point. This was Ivar finally telling mother how he really feels, so you sat back and listened. Ivar pulls himself up onto his knees so he could look directly at his mother, he grips her hand and says; " Mother, all my life you have been suffocating me. Gave me so much special attention. Why? Why Ivar ? .. Because I am a cripple.. poor Ivar " There was silence for a moment, Aslaug didn't know what to say because she knew he was right and he said; " Now poor Ivar has a chance finally to prove himself for the gods .. and I will not let you take that away from me mother " Your mother's voice started to break more and more, holding back her tears the best she could do and she said; " but you'll die, Ivar both of you ! " Ivar looking at his mother with a half a smile, bright eyes and said; " I don't care if I die " Your mother then looked to you and said; " You both with die, Y/N if you go " You said to her; " Mother, it is up to the gods whether we die or not. This is our only chance to prove that we are more than what people see us as " Your mother trying to restrain herself from bawling and she looked back to Ivar so said to her; " Mother, I love you. " He kisses your mother's hand and he continues; " Just one day with my father to be a man " Ivar sat back down leaning against the rock looking back into the crowd of people and he said; " that's worth it instead of a lifetime of pity " Your mother looked at Ivar, took a deep breath closed her eyes and leaned in to kiss him on top of his head and she said in an almost whisper; " Go " Ivar looked up at your mother and then she gave him a smile. She looked to you and said; " Y/N, why are you going ? " You looked at your mother, licked your lips and said; " Because mother, this is something that I've always wanted to do " Her eyes furrows a tad and she said; " Stay, you are the princess of Kattegat. " You stopped your mother and said; "Mother, I don't want to be just a princess. I want to make a name for myself, not just to be the daughter of King Ragnar and Queen Aslaug. I want adventure, I want to explore.. sitting on a throne is not for me mother" Your mother tilted her head to look at you, and she said softly while reaching out and touching your face as she could see the tears welling up in your eyes; " You are my only daughter " You touched her hand that was on your face and said lovingly as a tear escaped from your eye; " I will always be your daughter, mother . . no matter where I will go " She let a few more tears down and you said to her; " Mother, I love you. Please let me do this, let me go " She smiled at you, and she pulled you up to stand face to face with her and she cupped your face with both hands and said; " Protect each other, you two are stronger together. I love you both " She kissed your cheek and gave you a hug, your brother watching the two of you brought a smile to his face.

The day has finally come in which you and your brother would sail with your father to England. We were getting ready, Ivar wanted to try out his sticks that he made to help him stand up right, you helped him strap them to his arms and pulled him to his feet. Your mother and your two brothers Ubbe and Sigurd were waiting at the docks as the two of you emerged from the crowd. Ragnar was getting last minute stuff for the boat when he looked over to where you and Ivar were walking towards him. You walked up to your mother and brothers and waiting for your brother, you looked back to him struggling but he made it perfectly clear that he didn't want any help and that he could do it alone.

He reached the docks, and had to lift himself up onto the platform and he did it. You, your mother were watching proudly as Ivar walked towards the boat when one of Ivar's sticks got caught and wouldn't move forward and he fell to the ground. You instinctually moved forward to try and help him along with your brother Ubbe but your mother stopped us. You looked at him helplessly, wanting nothing more then to help him so you just told yourself ' This is Ivar, he will get up '. Ivar crawled the rest of the way to the boat, and he got there and your father came up to him, leaned in and said; " Hurry up, we got a tide to catch "

Ivar out of breath, chuckled softly and you followed behind Ivar and got onto the boat. You got settled, put your stuff down and you and Ivar sat on the side of the boat looking at your mother and brothers. As the boat started to move away from the dock, you could see your mother starting to cry but you smiled at her and waved. She waved as your brother Ubbe held onto her, to comfort her as we sailed away.

Chapter Four - ‘ Great Heathen Army ‘

After you and your brother made it down back into Kattegat, you discussed what you and Ivar said to your brother Ubbe, but he declined. This infuriated Ivar and you, so that night while in the great hall Lagertha was making a speech. Just as you and Ivar made it into the hall everyone made way for you and Ivar. Ivar crawled forward and you walked behind him. The sound of his metal hitting the ground as he crawled, and Ubbe placed his stump in front for him to sit. Just as he pulled himself up onto the stump and you stood beside him. Lagertha said as she looked at the both of us; " Welcome Ivar, Welcome Y/N "

Ivar never breaking eye contact with Lagertha, and she looked between the two of us and our other brother's that stood to the side of Ivar and I. Ivar then said; " We have come here for justice, everyone knows that you killed our mother for no reason except for ambition. .. therefore I demand justice "

Just than Ubbe walked up to the side of Ivar and placed his hand on his shoulder trying to talk him out of what he was doing; " Ivar .. "

Ivar didn't hesitate, he quickly removed Ubbe's hand from his shoulder and said angrily; " Don't touch me coward "

Ubbe backed up slowly, seeing as he was not getting Ivar to stop. He looked to you and you gave him a look as if to say ' nope sorry brother, this is happening ' You then looked back to Lagertha who started to walk down toward you and your brother, she looked from Ubbe to Ivar and said as she was standing in front of him and placed her hand on his shoulder; " He is not a coward, but perhaps he understands somethings that you don't .. "

Ivar looking at Lagertha with an amused look spread across his face then he said; " I understand everything perfectly. .. You murdered my mother in cold blood "

Lagertha removed her hand from Ivar as he said those words, she looked to you but your face expression didn't soften not one bit, you still looked at her with hatred. She looked back to Ivar who continued to say; " I want revenge  .. I challenge you to single combat ! "

The entire great hall erupted into whispers and chatter as they heard the youngest Ragnarrson announce his challenge against Lagertha. You looked at your brother, and to Lagertha who leaned in a bit and said to Ivar; " I refuse. .. "

Ivar stated; " You can't refuse "

Lagertha took a few steps back from Ivar and said loudly; " I refuse to fight you Ivar Lothbrok, son of Ragnar ! "

She turned around and walked back up to her throne. Ivar smiling there, and you breathing in deeply. Ivar then said; " Why ? Hmm ? "

She turned to him, just before she was to sit she said; " Because I don't want to kill you "

Ivar put his head down and chuckled, he brought up his hatchet and scratched his head. Lagertha sat down awaiting to hear what he has to say, and Ivar leaned in on his stump and said; " Who said you would kill me ? "

Lagertha then answered; " I do "

Ivar sat up straight, he ran his tongue along his lower lip and said in a cocky gesture; " Alright .. Don't fight me then, I don't care just as long as you know that one day I will kill you Lagertha. Your fate is fixed. .. "

Lagertha knew he was serious, Ivar got off his stump and started to head out of the great hall. You and your other two brother's watched Lagertha, and watched how she feared Ivar's words. She tried to sit there and pretend like it didn't bother her, when you all knew it did. You gave her little smile to let her know that you will be there to watch as Ivar killed her slowly one day. You then turned and followed your brother out, soon your other two brother's joined.

The next day after you, Ivar and finally got Ubbe to agree on avenging our mother's death and killing Lagertha. Sure, you and all your brother's knew that mother only really cared for Ivar but she was still your mother no matter what. She still loved and cared for you all, just as you all loved and cared for her.

Ivar went into the blacksmith's shop like he normally did when he was frustrated, you didn't go with him this time you needed some time to yourself as well. Your brother Ubbe was down by the river, Sigurd was sharpening his axe and you. Well you took a little stroll up the trail away from Kattegat. You loved Kattegat but you loved the forest more, it was so calm and relaxing being away from the loud streets.

You were walking when you noticed ravens, a whole bunch of them and it stopped you in your tracks. In the distance it was if the wind was carrying a voice, it sounded like your father Ragnar. The sky's were turning grey, the wind started to pick up and you felt strange. Your heart rate quickened and your eyes darted from the ravens to your surroundings trying to figure out what exactly was happening. When you looked back towards the calls of the raven's you heard a low deep voice say; " Y/N "

Your eyes searched the area and you noticed a man wearing a black cloak, surrounded by ravens and he was missing an eye. Instantly you knew who it was, he took your breath away and he started to walk towards you. You walked slowly towards him, intimated and overwhelmed. He reached you and stood tall facing you and placed his hand on your shoulder. You were breathing heavy and he didn't say a word he just looked at you and you to him. You could hear him in your head and you understood why he was here.

' Your father is dead '

He backed up slowly, and you looked away for a moment and when you looked back up towards him he was gone. You could still see the ravens, and your heart fell, your legs gave from beneath you and you fell to the ground. You inhaled deeply and as you looked up towards the sky, your eyes filled with tears.

' Your father is dead '

That flashed through your head, you knew it was going to happen when you and Ivar left England. You knew he was going to die, but to get confirmation that he was actually dead was harder to comprehend. You stayed out there for quite sometime, trying to understand what had just happened. When you made it back to the cabin to where your brother's were. Your face said it all and as you walked through the door, they all looked at you and Ubbe said; " Sister, what is wrong ? "

You couldn't answer right away, and you were trying to gather the words to say when your brother Ivar said softly; " You seen him, didn't you? You know about father. "

Your eyes immdently darted to Ivar, they were wide and you were shocked and surprised and you nodded and said in an almost whisper; " Yes, the All Father told me .. Father is dead "

Your brothers had their heads down, and Ubbe said; " I saw him too "

Sigurd added; " Me too "

You walked over to sit beside Ivar, and you said softly to your brothers; " Mother, and father are dead. .. what are we going to do brother's ? "

Ivar looked over to you, and to his brother's and said in an angered tone; " We must revenge them both "

You nodded, as well as Ubbe. Sigurd stayed quiet in the corner of the cabin, you looked towards him waiting for him to answer but he never did. The next morning, we were sitting in the cabin. Ubbe on one side of the table, Ivar and I on the other, while Sigurd was at the door carving something. He stopped, walked into the cabin and shut the door. Ivar looked over his shoulder and said towards Sigurd; " That is my knife "

Sigurd announced as he walked over to the stool that was not far from Ivar; " No it is not "

You and Ubbe watched the two brothers, and Ivar reached out his hand for Sigurd to give him the knife and said; " Give it to me "

Sigurd spat; " Your crazy this is not your knife ! Father gave me this knife "

Sigurd continued to carve his wooden stick that he had and Ivar said; " I want it "

Ivar turned around and got down and started to move towards Sigurd. You knew what was going to happen and you looked towards Ubbe. Ivar said as he was on the ground; " I want to kill Lagertha with it. .. I will kill Lagertha with father's knife "

Sigurd looked at him and turned his back to him and said; " Well you can't have it "

Ubbe then said; " That's enough ! "

You inhaled as you were about to take a drink from your cup and Ivar's temper was getting the best of him. He reached quickly for Sigurd's stool and pulled it out from under Sigurd making him hit the floor with a loud thump. Ivar then jumped up onto Sigurd trying to retrieve the knife. Sigurd held up the knife so Ivar could not reach it. Ubbe let out a stressed breath and put his head back in frustration. Ubbe took a quick drink before he got up, and walked over to your brothers. You watched at they struggled for the knife, Ivar saying to Sigurd; " Give it to me "

Ivar still could not reach the knife and so he head butted Sigurd causing him to let out painful groans, you then said loudly; " Stop it you two ! "

Ubbe then grabbed Ivar and pulled him off of Sigurd, then Ubbe turned around and pulled Sigurd to his feet yelling; " Get up ! Hey ! "

As he had Sigurd in his grasp he said to him; " We have important decisions to make "

Sigurd then yelled back to Ubbe and said; " As usual you must tell us how to behave "

Ubbe went and picked up the stool that Ivar had tossed and responded to Sigurd; " Who else will do it "

He came and sat beside you, and said; " I wish Bjorn was here "

Just then Sigurd let out of breath from the little scuffle that he and Ivar just had said; " You think he knows about father "

Ivar interrupted and said sarcastically; " Oh you think Odin told us but forgot about Bjorn ? Huh, Hmm? "

Ivar tapped the side of his head with the knife that he got from Sigurd's grip, you giggled at your brother's and Sigurd stared at him angrily and before they could start arguing again Ubbe said; " Hopefully he will be home soon, and in the meantime it is up to us to decide what to do "

Ivar took a deep breath, leaned forward and said; " I am listening, say something interesting "

Ubbe then said as he looked between you and your brothers; " You heard what he said, ' how the little pigs will grunt, when they hear how the old boar suffered ' "

Ivar then said; " So now we are grunting, so what ? "

Ubbe said as he looked at Ivar; " We want to plot revenge against Aelle, hmm ? "

He looked to you and then to Sigurd and he said; " Yes "

Ivar interrupted; " Not only against Aelle, I told you. .. King Ecbert offered our father up like a sacrifice so we will do the same thing to him. That is what father wanted. That is the message he wanted to bring to you "

Ubbe looked at Ivar and said; " That is easy to say Ivar "

Ivar grew frustrated at Ubbe's response, he leaned back and stabbed the knife into the table harshly and said; " Oh there he is. .. the voice of reason "

Just before Ivar got down from the table and started to crawl away he said; " I hate reason "

Ivar slowly crawled towards the door, and your brothers looked at you and back to Ivar. Sigurd then started to walk over to where Ivar was sitting at the table and said to Ubbe; " What do you mean Ubbe? I'm listening even if he is not "

Ubbe raised his voice so Ivar could hear him; " Aelle has a small kingdom, but Ecbert's kingdom is vast. How do we overcome that when we have never attempted anything like that before? "

Sigurd the suggested; " We raise an army .. "

Ubbe then said; " No, you are not listening brother "

Sigurd then added; " We raise a great army. An army bigger then ever before "

Just then before Ivar opened the door completely he stopped, you leaned forward listening to your brothers. For once Sigurd was making sense and Ivar shut the door. You looked towards him and he said to everyone's surprise; " Sigurd is right "

Your brothers looked towards Ivar and you said; " They are agreeing on something, I think this is a good idea "

Ivar then looked to us, and moved his legs so he could crawl towards us slowly and he said; " We call in favors, we do deals with Kings and Earls that we hate. Whatever we have to promise them with we will promise and in the end we assemble an army twice the size of the army that father took to Paris.

You smiled at your brother's suggestion, and Sigurd looked from Ivar to Ubbe and said; " Then we declare war on England "

Ivar said; " No. .. In the name of our dead father, in the name of Ragnar Lothbrok the greatest hero of our country and in the name of Odin we declare war on the whole world "

You sat back taking in what your brother's were saying, and what was going to happen. Few hours later you and Ivar decided to go and sharpen your axes at the blacksmith's shop that was just down the road. Ivar was sharpening his axe and you standing to his left watching him do so. Just then your brother Sigurd came into the shop, he walked right passed us and handed his axe to the blacksmith. Ivar was checking how his blade was coming along, and he said to Sigurd as he still examined his blade; " I still have a bone to pick with you, Sigurd "

You looked up from your brother to your other brother Sigurd, who turned his head slightly to the side to hear what Ivar had to say. Ivar said; " Why were you silent when I demanded justice from Lagertha ? "

Sigurd inhaled deeply and said; " We have different memories of mother, she dotted on you and she ignored me. She had eyes only for you and for Harbored .. to me she was cold and distant "

Ivar looking at Sigurd with amusement and he said; " So you feel sorry for yourself ? tsk, awe poor little Sigurd "

Just then the blacksmith passed Sigurd his axe and Sigurd grabbed it and placed it his holster that was wrapped around his waist and he said to Ivar; " You are wrong Ivar, I don't feel sorry for myself "

Sigurd turned around and was ready to walk out when Ivar said mocking Sigurd; " Yeah, right of course of course not "

Sigurd reading this mockery and just couldn't help himself he stopped and stood in front of Ivar and said in a smug tone; " I'm telling you the truth, I have a really good reason for not being so angry with Lagertha. "

Ivar then looked at him straight in the eyes and held up the back of his axe and tapped Sigurd on the chest as he said; " What kind of a son are you? hmm? What does it matter what your mother did you to you? She was still your mother. .. "

Sigurd gave a little chuckle, smiled and said; " Yeah, you would say that wouldn't you "

Ivar tilted his head to the side and said; " What does that mean? "

Sigurd then said; " What do you think it means? "

Ivar grinned then said; " you tell me "

Sigurd then spat; " Alright I will then mommy's boy "

Ivar's face quickly changed to a menacing one, and you looking between your brother's you could see the tension and you walked a tad closer as you didn't know what to expect. Sigurd then continued; " Mommy's little favorite, are you just really sad that she can no longer breast feed you anymore is that it? "

You could see Ivar's grip tighten on his axe and before you could realize he swung it up towards Sigurd's throat but you were quick enough to react and you grabbed Ivar's wrist before the axe could make contact with Sigurd's throat. Sigurd flinched not realizing how close Ivar was to killing him, Ivar looked at you and you to both your brother's. Sigurd and Ivar looked at each other and you said; " Who would of thought you two are brother's, I mean really? "

You took a moment and pushed Ivar's hand down away from Sigurd, Ivar just looked at Sigurd and Sigurd looked at Ivar before backing away slowly and then he glanced to you quickly before he left the shop. As he left you gave Ivar a slight chuckle, and shook your head. Your brother looked to you and said just before he started to sharpen his blade once more; " Good thing you have fast reflexes sister, that could have ended quite badly "

You grabbed a stool and placed in beside Ivar and passed him your axe and said; " My turn now brother "

Ivar reached for your axe and started to sharpen it. That evening you and your two brother's were planning on killing Lagertha. The few men that followed your brother's offered their help. Sigurd has not been back so we didn't include him in our plan plus he would have not helped anyways. Night came quickly and everyone was in the great hall, your brother's warriors were started to get rid of the shield maidens that were ordered to protect Lagertha. You and your brother's were in the great hall, and your men locked the doors so no one would be able to enter, you noticed Torvi was getting suspicious and she started to tell Astrid when you ordered two of the men to restrain them. Just then Torvi yelled; " Lagertha ! "

Lagertha hearing her shield maiden in distress she looked and the crowd made way to where you, Ubbe and Ivar were visible to Lagertha. The three of us moved slowly towards Lagertha, Ubbe and I had our axe's drawn. Lagertha did not move, she sat there looking at the three of us. All eyes where watching as we approached her, she then got up and reached for her sword. The three of us stood ready for anything, Lagertha walked down to the floor and stood in the middle, Ubbe walked slowly behind her and Ivar, you stood in front of her. Just then the doors flew opened, and you all looked to see who it was. To all your surprise it was your half brother Bjorn. He walked in slowly with his men, twirling his axe and he said calmly; " If you kill her my brothers, and sister. .. you'll have to kill me too "

Ivar looked up at Bjorn and said; " Maybe we should "

Both you and Ubbe said; " Shut up "

You then added; " She killed our mother "

Bjorn looked from you, to Ubbe then to Ivar before he said as he looked at his axe; " I know, you all want revenge. So would I "

He inhaled deeply and looked from Ubbe to you and Ivar and said; " But more importantly we have to revenge our father, that is why I came back "

He looked to Ubbe and I and back to Ivar as he slowly put his axe lightly to the side of Ivar's face and said; " And that is what we are going to do "

Just then Lagertha dropped her sword, Ubbe holstered his axe and you reluctantly lowered yours too. Ivar turned and slammed his hatchet into the floor and growled in anger. You, and your brother's walked passed Bjorn and out the door of the great hall. Bjorn slowly walked up to the side of his mother and whispered; " So you had your revenge "

Lagertha smiled to her son's comment. In the week's that went on in planning for the revenge of Ragnar Lothbrok. Favors were being sent out to King's and Earls from across the land to join the army in taking part in the revenge of Ragnar. You have been training with your brother's none stop and have gotten very skilled, clearly the Lothbrok blood ran through your veins. One day you and Ivar were talking, and he was complaining about his legs as usual and then you suggested; " Talk to uncle Floki, maybe he can come up with something for you when we get to England ? "

Ivar looked at you and thought that was a good idea so his plan was to go over and see Floki and ask for help but as he was making his way he noticed you weren't beside him and he said as he looked over his shoulder at you; " Your not joining me sister? "

You smiled at him and said; " Think I'm going to go train more, Hvisterk said he'd be there and he'd help me train more "

Ivar chuckled and said as he crawled away; " Yeah if he's not to distracted by the whore our brother calls ' wife ' "

You laughed at your brother's response but couldn't agree more with him. You grabbed your gear and walked towards the training yard. To your surprise your brother was sparring with Ubbe, and you walked over to them and they stopped when they noticed you and Ubbe said with a bright smile; " Sister! What took you so long? "

You smiled at them and Hvisterk took a seat and you took his place and started training with your older brother. This went on for a few hours, your brother's were impressed with you skill's now. You have come along way, and they felt like you were ready for battle. Ivar made it eventually to the training grounds, and you praised your brother who finally decided to join you guys. You offered him a cup of ale, and he happily took it. Ivar joined in on the sparring and he was quite skilled your brother, his legs certainly didn't hold him back. In the early morning of the next day Floki came and found you and Ivar and said; " Ahh, there you are you crippled bastard! I've been looking for you everywhere "

Ivar turned to see Floki walking up the path and said to him; " Ahh, see you found me you old crazy boat builder "

You smiled at the two, Ivar and Floki always greeted each other this way. Floki was always good to you and Ivar, always there when we needed him. He finally seen you after a long time and said; " Y/N, you beautiful child I haven't seen you in awhile ! "

He walked up to you and embraced you in a big bear hug, and as he settled you on your feet he pressed his forehead against yours and you said; " It is good to see you Uncle Floki, I've missed you ! "

He smiled and added; " I've missed you too, sweet Y/N "

As the two of you parted Floki looked to Ivar and said; " Come with me, I got a surprise for you Ivar "

You and Ivar shared a looked and looked back to Floki and nodded he than said; " Okay, lead the way "

Floki then said just before the three of you started to walk; " I have a better idea, I will carry you. It is aways to get there "

Ivar didn't like to be carried but he agreed reluctantly. The three of you walked out of Kattegat and into the woods, not that far from Floki and Helga's place actually. It was where Floki like to work, was always quiet and just as you got there it was still dark out. The fog was still settled along the floor of the forest, we walked passed a white horse that was dressed in what looked like armor. We moved closer and we could see what looked like some sort of a wagon, but large and Ivar said; " What is it? "

Floki smiling said; " It's your legs, Ivar.. It's your wings "

He then placed Ivar on the ground, and Ivar crawled towards it. You stood with Floki and watched as your brother took in his new ' legs ' . Ivar turned to us and he asked Floki with the biggest smile ever; " Is it really for me? "

Floki smiled and nodded at him, you smiled too seeing just how happy your brother was. Ivar was so happy he started to laugh with such joy, including Floki he was so happy to see Ivar so pleased with what he made for him. You hugged Floki and said; " Floki you are a genius, you've made my brother very happy "

Floki hugged you and smiled at your words. Floki then says to Ivar; " What to give it a try? "

Ivar looked at him and nodded, Floki then went to retrieve the horse that was seen earlier and brought it to the chariot. That's what Floki called it, he hooked the horse to it. He then took Ivar to the back of the chariot and passed him the reins. Floki then said; " Go on "

Ivar looked at you and Floki then forward and smiled, he yelled to the horse; " Yeeahhh! "

The horse pulled Ivar and the chariot out to the clearing, he took it slow and eventually sped up faster. Both you and Floki have never seen Ivar so happy, he was going fast. You stood there alongside Floki watching as Ivar was finally feeling whole for the first time in his life. That day warriors were coming in from all over and Lagertha let it be known the day before the great army was to set sail for England to revenge Ragnar Lothbrok there would be a great sacrifice to the Gods.

When nightfall came, the sacrifice was underway and everyone attended. You stood beside Floki, Helga and Ivar and watched as the Earl that was allowing himself to be sacrificed to the Gods willingly walked to where he would be killed which was right in front of us. Once he was up there and waiting, Lagertha walked down and Ivar started to shake with fury when Floki rested his hand on his shoulder to calm him which it did. She grabbed the sword that would be used, and she looked up to the sky to see an amazing site. Everyone gasped, the God's were blessing everyone with the sight that was before them.

Lagertha then proceeded, she turned and said the prayer for the ritual and the man that stood behind the Earl ripped off his shirt. Lagertha then placed the sword in the middle of his chest and slowly pressed it against his body. Blood started to pour out of this wound, the Earl didn't scream he placed both his hands on Lagertha and pulled her and sword towards him. You watched and you felt this rush course through you as you watched the sacrifice being preformed. The blade went through the Earl and Lagertha let him fall to the ground gently. She got up, and looked around to her people. It was the night before we would go to England to revenge our father, it was a rather restless night for you. This would be the first time you would be fighting in battle, but this was something you had to do. You were nervous, you weren't scared but this was a new feeling.

It was hours before you would sail off to England with the great heathen army, and you were gathered with your brothers on one of the docks doing the ritual that was accustomed before every voyage. You went first as your older half brother Bjorn spoke. You blew your nose into the water, spit in it and splashed the water on your face and passed it to your brother Ubbe who was beside you. Bjorn was speaking to us; " Brothers, and sister this is my decision. We refuse to share power with all the other Kings and Earls, who ever they are, or how ever powerful they are. Least of all my brothers, King Harald Finehair and his brother for they are dedicated to our over throw. Is that understood? "

We all nodded, although Ivar looked rather pissed off at our brother Bjorn and he continued; " We are all equally Ragnar's children, but we are not equal in battle "

Ivar looked up to him, as did you trying to understand the meaning behind it. He was practically saying he was a much better fighter then all of us. Which he was a great warrior but that didn't give him the right to belittle his younger siblings. Bjorn continued; " So I will take the lead, I will establish the battle plans, and I will give you the orders. Do you understand that? "

Ivar didn't like that at all and he shook his head in disagreement, it was his turn with the water basin. Bjorn notices and asks; " You don't agree Ivar? "

Ivar looked up at him, smiled and said calmly as he did the ritual with the basin of water; " Oh, I didn't say anything "

Bjorn added; " You don't have too, your age makes you believe that you more that you do, but what do you know? What have you done? What battles have you won? and what battles have you lost?! For it is in failure my brothers, that is where we learn the most "

Ivar said in a sarcastic tone; " Really? "

Bjorn spat; " You don't want to listen that is your choice, but I am the leader of this Great Army. ME! and you will obey me! "

Hearing Bjorn yell at Ivar, made you jump a little but Ivar just smiled at Bjorn and Bjorn continued saying; " and if you do so my brothers, revenge for our father!. .. will be ours "

You and your brother's started boarding the ships that were ready to sail. The journey would be long, and you couldn't help but remember the last time you sailed alongside your father and brother. These circumstances though were quite different, this time you were sailing with The Great Heathen Army, that was quite vast and nothing and I mean nothing would stand in the way of revenging Ragnar Lothbrok.

Chapter Five - ‘ Revenge ‘

Once arriving on the shores of what was known as ' Northumbria ' the warriors made camp quickly, but my brother's didn't take their time everyone was anxious to fight in the name of Ragnar Lothbrok. The great army was ready, and by now Aelle would know of our arrival so we setted out for the battlefield. I was in the middle and we arrived over the hill to finally come face to face with King Aelle's men and you weren't impressed not one bit. You could see that they surely underestimated us and you smiled knowing that you fooled them thinking this was it for ' The Great Heathen Army ' .

Soon enough Floki emerged with warriors to the left of you, then King Harald and his brother from the right and your brothers come from the back of you with even more warriors. King Aelle's face changed instantly. Your heart was racing, your smile grew sinister, you drew your sword, Ivar and his chariot trotted to the center of our magnificent army. We were ready, this is what we were all made for. War screams erupted from everyone, and soon you joined in because you could not contain the overwhelming feeling that coursed through your entire body. Your brother's war screams joined in with you, you gripped your sword and shield tightly and soon Bjorn took off yelling; " RAGNAR!! "

Everyone started to sprint down the hill towards our Saxon enemies yelling at the top of their lungs, you screamed for your father as you ran down the hill towards Aelle's miniture army that stood before you all. This didn't take long at all, once you reached King Aelle's soliders they were taken down quite easily. You got your first taste of blood when your sword swung and took down a solider that didn't hesitate to lunge for you. You went on to the next one, this time it took a little longer than the first, you danced and got him in his throat and his blood showered your face. You tasted the bitter metallic of this blood that soaked and drizzled down your face, your brother's captured King Aelle with ease.

Once all the Saxon solider's were dead, my brother's tied Aelle to Ivar's chariot and dragged him into the forest. Bjorn told King Harald to take the remaining army back to camp while the rest of us go and deal with Aelle. Only a few warriors followed my brothers, Floki and I. We ran behind Ivar's chariot till we came to a stop, Ubbe unties his legs and Floki and Bjorn pick him up to his feet. Bjorn asks Aelle in our language; " show us where my father died "

Aelle being as stupid as he is doesn't respond to Bjorn and with that Bjorn back hands him with his mighty fists which cause's Aelle to gasp in pain and Bjorn grips his tunic harshly bringing Aelle close to his face and yells; " show us ! "

Aelle doesn't speak, but he motions with his head towards the wooded area and he makes Aelle walk to where he was gesturing too. We all followed him, Ubbe carried Ivar and I walked beside Hvisterk and Sigurd. Aelle brought us just under a big oak tree, there were leaves scattered everywhere, and Bjorn found what seem to be a wooden door, he stomped on it seeing how it was hollow and he looked to Aella and asked; " this .. this is the place "

Aelle being held by my brother Sigurd, he nodded his head terrified. Bjorn unsure if he wanted to see what was underneath the leaves and wooden plac. Bjorn motioned for the warrior's that came along with us to move it and they did. It slide open, Ubbe placed my brother Ivar on the ground and once it was open we all moved forward to see inside. There was nothing in there, Ivar than said in our native tongue; " this .. is where our father was killed "

We all looked around at each other and back into the hole, Bjorn then said in our language as he looked at us and back to Aelle; " how the little pigs will grunt, when they hear how the old boar suffered "

You all looked at Aelle, he then tried to plead with us in our old language; " how much gold and silver do you want to spare my life? name your price. anything. anything! "

Ivar didn't hesitate in answering him; " You are mistaken, my father was worth far more than any gold or silver. "

We never stopped looking at Aelle who looked from Bjorn to Ivar and Ivar added while giving Aelle the coldest most sinister look he have ever given; " that is not the price you must pay "

Hearing this petrified Aelle, just then Floki walked over to him and Sigurd stepped aside and Floki grabbed Aelle harshly making him kneel in front of Floki. He was whimpering like a scared dog, when Floki said; " I've been told your God is a carpenter, and guess what? So am I! "

Just as the night sky was starting to fill with such darkness, torches were being fired up and the discussion of what we were going to do to Aelle was planned. Ubbe, Sigurd and Hvisterk held Aelle down on a log that was placed in front of Ivar and me, Floki hand a hammer and a nail. They spread his arms out and Floki went to his left hand and nailed it to the tree causing Aelle to scream out in pain. Floki then walked to the other side to nail in his right hand into the tree, once he was done he stood on the other side of Ivar. I was on the other side watching as the my brother's stepped back and allowed our eldest brother Bjorn to walk up to Aelle and rip open the back of his shirt.

The look that spread across Aelle's face was horrifed not knowing what exactly was going to happen to him next. You stood there, enjoying the site that was unfolding before you. Just then Bjorn reached for the dagger that was in the fire, the end of the blade was burning bright red as he drove it into Aelle's back causing him to writhe in agonizing pain. The corner's of your mouth started to twitch upward as you watched the man that killed your father, watching your brother peel the skin from this bones slowly, then Ubbe passed Bjorn his axe. He started to chop at Aelle's back making blood go everywhere. Your brother's smiled as the blood hit their faces, and hearing his screams. Ivar taking in the sight, he slowly moved down from the tree that he was sitting on and crawled slowly over to come face to face with Aelle. Watching as the life was leaving Aelle's eyes, Ivar was enjoying every little bit of this.

You inhaled deeply, thinking father would be proud of all of us. Before you knew it Aelle's screams faded, everyone of us taking in the fact that this man killed our father was finally dead. Bjorn finished the bloodeagle and soon morning was approaching, we tied Aelle's hands to ropes and soon he was suspended up into the air for everyone to see. We suspended him up over the place that he had our father killed, my brothers, Floki and I watched as he hung up there. Everyone trying to contain their emotions, Bjorn holding back his tears as were you, Ivar and Floki were breathing deeply and as we watched we could hear our father's voice in the wind; ' how the little piggies will grunt, when they see how the old boar suffered '

After we dealt with Aelle we went back to the coast to reunit with the rest of our army and made plans to carryout our revenge and taking over Wessex. We packed up our camp, got into our ships and headed for Wessex. We were on alert as we were passing through a river, land on both sides and possibly enemy Saxon. A sword, and axe isn't the only thing my brother's trained me on how to use, I have come to realize my accuracy with a bow was quite impressive. You stood in the same boat as your brothers, alongside Floki and his wife Helga.

We beached our ships on the shores of Near Repton, apparently that was the name of where we were. We started to make camp, and everyone was unloading and making themselves comfortable. We were sitting around a little fire, while our brother Sigurd was gutting a boar that was killed. Floki came and sat beside you and Ivar was saying; " It seem's to me that the Saxon's are as timid as frightened women, their heart's are faint I don't think they can truely trouble us "

You didn't like that accussation too much considering he mentioned women but you held your tongue just then Bjorn responded as Ivar took a piece of meat between his teeth; " You don't know enough Ivar, you haven't seen enough. These are brave men, I have fought against them, you havent "

Ivar said; " I can only see what my eyes tell me Bjorn, and what I see is frightened people running before us, I see their spineless God running away from all our Gods "

Ubbe said to Ivar as he was pouring a drink; " For once why don't you listen to an older and wiser brother? Huh "

There was silence for a moment, he looked at Ivar and passed him the cup of mead and continued to say; " These people who are running away are not warriors, they are not the ones who will stay and fight to defend this kingdom "

Sigurd added; " Or their honor . .. what is a warrior without his honor? "

Hearing what Sigurd said made Ivar chuckle, causing him to choke on his mead. He held his hand to his mouth and said; " I don't know, you tell me brother? and tell me again, how many battles have you fought? "

Floki was listening intently as we all were, Sigurd answered Ivar; " Same as you brother, except I didn't drag around a comfortable bloody chariot "

Ivar didn't like his answer, and Bjorn said; " What you have to learn Ivar, is that if you break up this brotherhood you shall not succeed. We have many challenges ahead of us, so if you want to keep arguing and whining like a little girl then i suggest you leave we dont need you "

You hated the way Bjorn always talked to Ivar, both you and Floki looked over your guy's shoulders at the conversation that they were having, your temper was being fueled and you inhaled deeply trying to hold your tongue and Ivar said; " Oh but you do need me, why do you think father chose me to come with him to England he had a reason in doing so. He told me I was the one act for him, who would make sure he was revenged. "

Bjorn mocking Ivar, he grabbed the stag what was killed earlier and held it in front of his face and said in a mocking tone; " If that is what you want to think, then think it "

He looked to Ivar who was not impressed, our brothers laughed at Bjorn's gesture. Ivar shaking his head and he said; " I understand that it must be hard for you to accpet the true heir to the great Ragnar Lothbrok is to turn out to be a cripple and reject "

Ubbe didn't like what Ivar was saying, and spit out his mead to get his brother's attention and Ivar looked at him and Ubbe smiled, you and Floki looked at each other and Floki laughed and said as he looked to the boys; " So this is the grunting of the little pigs this is what it's all about "

They all looked at him, and he gave them a look of disappointment, he looked away and took a drink of his mead and stormed off. Ivar and Bjorn shared looks but they didn't say anything else. You sat there unsure of what to say, you just drank your mead and kept your thoughts to yourself even though you wanted to tell Bjorn exactly what you thought.

Two days have past and we decided to move our army out, we were on our way to Wessex. As we were walking to our destination we had a rider go scout ahead and he was riding back towards us with such speed. Bjorn yelled to our army; " Stop! "

Everyone came to a halt, and men from each section of our great army yelled; " Stop! "

Soon it was just an echo that faded, you walked along side Ivar's chariot your brothers all around and King Harald and his brother were on the side of you walking closely. The scout dimounted from his horse and we all walked around him and Bjorn asked; " What news? "

The scout out of breath said; " The Saxon's are less then a days ride away, they have a large army "

Bjorn looking from the scout to Ivar and the army and he said; " We will make camp here, tomorrow we shall fight in the name of our father we shall overcome "

With that being said, he turned around and whilsted to one of his men to start setting up camp. Movement was happening, the horn was being blown to let the warriors know what was happeing and you leaned against Ivar's chariot and he said; " You can make camp, I want take a look at where we are going to fight "

Our brother's stopped in their tracks and Ubbe said; " What are you talking about? "

Ivar answered quickly; " They will expect us to fight a certain way, why should we do that? Why don't we plan on fighting a different way and surprise them? "

Bjorn gestured for the rest his brothers to come around Ivar's chariot and Hvisterk said as he came beside you; " Our warrior's wont understand what's happening, we fight in the shield wall that how we fight "

You interrupted; " We have a bigger army now, and they have a bigger army brother "

They looked a you and Ivar said before they could say anything to you; " Y/N is right, we can not fight them the same way. .."

Sigurd said; " It's to late to change anything now "

Ivar snapped; " Who are you to say that! Shut your mouth! "

Bjorn argued; " We are all siblings here "

Sigurd smiling as Bjorn's comment in defending him and Bjorn added; " Together, .. why do you want to change the tactics? "

Ivar responded; " Do you want to win brother? "

Ivar and Bjorn stared at eachother, Ivar inhaled deeply, shook his head and said calmly; " Listen, come with me Bjorn let's investigate the battlefield. Perhaps instead of a narrow small space we should stretch out the battlefield across a large area, many miles and use the landscape. ditches, hills, woods. "

You nodded your head in agreement with Ivar, your brother's looking at Bjorn all seem to see that he was making sense and it was a good idea to go look ahead and see what our options were. Ivar then said as he looked at his brothers; " what do you say? "

Bjorn looked down, thinking things through then he said; " If it works .. it is a good plan "

He looked up to Ivar, Ivar smiled at him and Bjorn continued; " And if it doesn't then it is a bad plan "

With that Bjorn backed up and gestured for a horse, Ivar smiling to himself and you said as you got up from leaning on the chariot; " I'm coming with you, I want too see as well "

Ivar looked at you and gestured with his head for you to jump on the back of his chariot with him. You gave him a slight grin and jumped on. As Bjorn got on his horse, your other brother's walked towards the camp that was being made. Bjorn said to Ivar just before he took off on the horse; " What are you waiting for? "

Ivar tilted his head sideways as he always did, and you held onto the side of the chariot and onto one of Ivar's shoulders and he yelled to his horse; " Hiya! "

With that his horse took off after Bjorn, it moved rather quickly and you had to hold on quite tightly. Ivar looked slightly over his shoulder at you and chuckled and he said; " You fall sister, your running the rest of the way "

You hit Ivar in the side of the ribs lightly and laughed at him, you then said; " You were right to suggest this brother, and I agree with you. .. "

Ivar's eyebrows furrowed a tad and he leaned his head somewhat towards you as he waited for you to finish what you were saying and you added; " You are the true heir to our father, you should be leading this army not Bjorn "

Ivar hearing this, grinned the rest of the way to the battlefield. You looked at the surroundings on the way there. The cool air hitting your face was quite pleasant, soon you three reached your destination and looked at where you would be fighting. Ivar moved his chariot all over the area, formations and strategy tactics were coming to him after seeing the landscape. We headed back to camp quickly and discussed our plans and soon we headed out to the battlefield.

We had warriors coming up from the hill to meet the Saxon army that started to show their faces. We walked and stopped in front of them looking down at them, we were ready. Bjorn and Floki exchanged looks and we are started to fall back, our army split and our horn bellowed and we started sprinting back. We knew the Saxon's were confused, the Saxon army marched up towards the hill where we were and they split their army as well trying to outsmart us. Little did they know this was part of our plan, as they reached the hilltop they could not see our army. The other half of our army was behind them and we were running through the woods and they turned around to see our other army. The horn blew and they started to fall back which made the Saxons return to their orginal position.

As they were going back down the hill, Bjorn and a few warriors were in the woods ready to fire arrows at the Saxon's. They dropped like flies and as they held their little shield wall, they noticed no more arrows were being sent their way and their leader emerged from it and walked towards the tree line. One of the men told him to look up the hill and there we were coming over the hilltop once again, Floki and I rested our arms on Ivar's chariot clearly out of breath from all the running. Floki looked at Ivar and Ivar said; " Mmm, four blasts "

Floki still trying to catch his breath said; " If you say so "

He blew on the horn, four blasts like Ivar said. Ivar laughed, Floki stood there for a moment or two and we all moved back once again. The Saxon's raced towards us, we raced through the woods to the other side. You tried to keep up with Ivar and Floki, which was somewhat a difficult task but you didn't want to seem weak and you kept the pace. We came up behind them once again, we waited for Ivar's plan might actually work. Floki, Ivar and I waited to see what the Saxon's were going to do. Floki asked as we seen the Saxon's moving forward away from us; " What are they doing? Where are they going? "

You looked to your brother, smiled because you knew this was what he wanted them to do, Ivar removed his helmet, laughed and said; " To Repton I imagine "

Floki looked shocked and looked back to Ivar, and back to the Saxon's that were headed to Repton and he said; " To the boats, they are going for our boats " Floki's expression changed from being shocked to pure happiness when he said; " Oh you crippled bastard, you were right! "

Ivar and you chuckled, then Floki started laughing and ran to Ivar. Jumped on the back of the chariot and hugged and kissed Ivar on the side of the head. As he was laughing, and embracing Ivar he said; " You bloody mad genius you were right! "

As the Saxon army was racing towards Repton they had to go through a somewhat large ditch that had two large hills on either side of them where Bjorn had archers stop the Saxon's in their tracks causing them try protect themselves. As they stopped your other brothers, Bjorn, Ubbe, Hvisterk and Sigurd came out with the rest of the army and from the other side King Harald and his brother Halfdan emerged with Bjorn awaiting for the Saxon's to come at them. Their leader noticing and yelling to his soliders that the fight was about to begin.

Ivar moved us forward to the battle that was taking place, Floki and you ran on either side of the chariot. You were killing every Saxon that you all came up too, Ivar threw his axe in the back of a Saxon that was running away. Floki cut down a man that was on top of one of our warriors and you came up to a man that he was brave enough to run at you. You manuvered quickly enough and he missed you, and you used your sword and ran the blade over the back of his neck. As we were running towards them the Saxon's were retreating, and our men were running after them including you and cutting down anyone that you came across. Everyone was screaming in victory, shields, swords and axes were raised in triumpth. My brother's ran to Ivar's chariot jumping, and hugging him and you embraced Sigurd in a victorious hug. Ivar was shouting; " Ahh! We won! "

Bjorn was walking towards us and with an upset tone; " What are you so happy about? "

Hearing this, we stopped cheering and looked to him, he turned around and said as he looked at the retreating Saxon; " It is not over yet "

We took a second, then went back to celebrating amoungs ourselves. Bjron yelling for everyone to listen, soon the celebrating was cut short and Bjorn spoke; " It is not over yet, we need to head to Wessex and finish what we have started "

With that everyone started to move forward, we marched towards Wessex. We all marched to the gate of Wessex, both you and your brother Ivar stood there for a moment and remembering the last time you seen this place. Last time we seen these gates, we were with our father and when we entered those gates he was bruitally beaten in front of us without any mercy. The army stood awaiting orders on what our next step was in invading Wessex. Bjorn raised his arms up and yelled; " Charge!!! "

With that, everyone followed his lead and charged for the city. We all ran up to the gate, and Bjorn made us split and down the middle was an battleram that would force the gate doors open. It hit the gates with such force it opened rather easily and everyone followed it, once we all stormed through the gates the village seemed empty. I was standing in the middle of my brother Bjorn, and Halfdan and his brother looking around wonder where everyone was and Bjorn said; " Be careful it could be a trap "

With that Halfdan walked past Bjorn and headed for the other gate, his brother Harald following and yelling to a few of his men; " You and you come with us! "

They followed closely behind Halfdan, everyone searched around Floki decided to go and search the grounds more closely. You stood aside your brothers, until Halfdan emerged and said; " It's empty .. they've gone! "

Hearing that our warrior's cheered, yet my brother's didn't cheer instead they started to walk forward. Some going here, and there going around destroying whatever they could, searching for treasures that appealed to them. You just walked around slowly watching as your fellow Viking's destroyed everything about this Christian city. You walked down a long hallway as your brother Hvisterk was lighting scripts on fire and you came up behind Floki while he was holding one of them, you looked at him curiously and he reached for Hvisterk and lit the script on fire and started to spread it along more scripts. You gave him a half smile and procceeded to keep exploring more, you came out and found your brother Bjorn sitting so you decided to join him. You seen that he was upset but you did not say a word, instead you just sat in silence watching the commotion go on around you both, soon you spotted Ivar on his chariot and walked over to him and Bjorn followed.

As we were talking amongs ourselves, we noticed an old man walking towards us and Ivar and I recongized him immedently. It was King Ecbert, and an archer was about to kill him Bjron ran to him stopping him and yelling; " Stop! "

King Ecbert smiled at Bjorn's gestured, as he tried to walk towards us he was stopped by swords being pointed at him. Bjorn walked towards him, and he said as Ivar and I watched intensely; " This is King Ecbert, I order you to spare him "

King Ecbert looked up at Bjorn and reached a hand out to touch him on the shoulder and he chuckled, hearing what Bjron said about sparing his life infuritated Ivar and I. You were upset and you walked away, soon you heard crying it stopped you in your tracks and you stood still and listened even more carefully to make sure you weren't hearing things. You recongized the voice that was crying and started running towards it, you were down in the dark hallway again that was only lit dimly by the torches and you found Floki crying over Helga. Your heart stopped and you said as you stood frozen; " F..Floki?.. "

Your axe was drawn, and he heard you and he turned holding Helga's dead body. Tears started to fill in your eyes, you didn't know what to say or do or how to react he just looked at you with heartbroken eyes. You moved closer, but didn't want to get to close and you looked to the side of you and you seen the child that Helga kept with a knife in her chest and you put the pieces together. Tear's started to fall and you said through a crackled voice; " No.. no she can't be "

Floki said through tears; " My. ..my sweet Helga "

You didn't move any closer but you stayed with Floki, you crouched by the wall crying along with Floki. Until he decided to carry her out, we took her to a place that wasnt destroyed and I got her one of her beautiful dresses that she always wore. Floki and I washed and changed Helga, the whole process was incredibly hard, you both wept together. While you stayed with Helga's body, Floki went and dug a grave for Helga beside this beautiful tree just outside of the city. When he came back he picked her up and walked out to the site where she will lay forever. You walked slowly behind him, once he laid her down gently, he moved her hair and postioned it nicely around her. You sat on the edge watching, tears falling without control, you were saying a silent prayer to the Gods for Helga.

Floki took a second and looked over her, he reached for the jewerly that he placed out for her. He started to place them around her, and when he reached for the gold braclet he held it for a moment and said, as he spoke he placed the jewlery on Helga's body and continued reaching for more; " When Balder, Odin's beloved son died not only did people weep, but fire wept, and iron and all the other metals wept. The stone's wept, earth wept, farewell .. voyeguer. Farewell my heart, farewell .. for now "

Hearing Floki break as he said his final goodbye to his wife Helga. He tried his hardest to be strong, but he broke and seeing him break caused your heart to break. Floki and Helga were always there for you and Ivar, and for this to happen was horrible. You didn't want to break, you did everything in your power to hold back the cries that you just wanted to scream, you swallowed hard and sniffled till Floki was out of the grave. Before we would bury her, you looked to Floki and didn't say a word you just looked at him asking for permission to say goodbye your friend Helga. He nodded slowly, tears still streaming down his face and you carefully got into the grave and looked over Helga. She was beautiful as always, you sniffled then you said as you lightly touched her face; " Sw..sweet Helga, you were too good for this world. May Freyja welcome you with open arms. I shall see you again, my friend "

With that you gently kissed her hand, got up and jumped out of the grave. You looked at Floki, eyes stained red from the constant tears and you said through sniffles; " I am sorry again Floki "

Your chin quivered, Floki embraced you and held you tightly as you did to him. You to stayed like that for a few moments, then we proceeding into bury her. Floki went off on his own, and you made your way back into the city. You walked into the main hall where your brother's were, with King Ecbert hanging in a cage above them. You went and sat beside Ivar, he looked at you and knew you were upset but he didn't say anything because he knew what has happened. Your brother Bjorn nodded at you and he turned and walked towards King Ecbert and said as he reached for the other side of the cage that he was in; " We have to decide what to do with King Ecbert "

You looked up towards your brother, and King Ecbert and Ivar said; " I don't understand, what is there to discuss? We BloodEagle him, Ecbert is just as guitly as Aelle and we should do the same thing to him. I've told you too many times already brothers. .. "

Ivar quickly looked at all his brothers and you and continued; " We were here, we both saw King Ecbert hand over father to King Aelle. ."

Bjorn spatt out; " We all understand those feelings Ivar! "

Bjorn turned and faced Ivar, and continued saying to Ivar; " No one is denying what you are saying, but sometimes, sometimes, we have to consider things beyond our feelings and think what is best for our people! "

Ivar said calmly; " I know what our people want Bjorn "

He looked to King Ecbert and gestured with his hand and said; " They want what I want "

Bjorn getting frustrated said; " We have to consider our position of strength and use that ..  to our ultimate advantage "

Ivar chuckles to Bjorn's response and said; " You always like to complicate things Bjorn, you think it makes you look clever. "

Ubbe decides to speak up and said to Ivar; " And what if you kill King Ecbert Ivar? Huh, What then? "

Ivar answered him quickly and sarcastically; " Well then he's dead Ubbe "

Ubbe laughs at Ivar and Bjorn said; " We are in the middle of enemy kingdom, how long will it be before his Saxon forces gather up another army and drive us away?! "

Ivar snapped his fingers and said; " Exactly! So we BloodEagle Ecbert and then we move on, we raid this entire land so they never have a chance to assemble another army again, why would we even want to stay here? "

Ubbe responded to Ivar; " It is what our father wanted, he just didn't want to win battles, he wanted land here, he wanted to make settlements here so our people could work "

Ivar unpleased he said; " Hmm, and we all know what happened. .."

Hvisterk broke his silence and spoke up; " Yes, but in those days he did not hold a King for ransom, nor did he have a great army. .. we do "

Ivar shaking his head and he spoke; " What about you Sigurd? You've been very quiet so far, I'm sure you have an opinion. ."

Ivar turned over to look at Sigurd who stood against one of the pillar's looking to King Ecbert then back to Ivar and said; " I agree with you Ivar "

You turned around and said withouth hestiation; " What?! You are agreeing with Ivar? "

Ivar turned aswell and said in a shocking manner; " Excuse me? "

Sigurd looked at you two, annoyed and said looking at his other brothers; " We should BloodEagle him "

Ivar hearing this, he said; " Finally! Thank you .. and what about you sister. ."

Before you could even say anything Bjorn said; " Why even ask, we all know she will agree with anything you say Ivar "

You looked at Bjorn, eyes piercing and you snapped; " Don't be mad Bjorn, I only agree with Ivar because he's the only one that makes the most sense out of all of you .. and I agree with both Sigurd and Ivar that we should BloodEagle him for handing over our father like cattle "

Sigurd then added; " But I am not sure, I'm not sure with what they are saying .. "

Bjorn said as he stood against one of the other pillars; " What I am saying, is what we should do, what our father always wanted. "

We were all silent, then King Ecbert started rattling his chains in his cage. Bjorn hearing his he turns slowly to him and says; " Yes "

Ecbert looked at him and said; " I'd like to speak. .. "

Bjorn allowed him to speak, and we all waited for what he had to say and so he spoke slowly; " Well I understand most of what you say, and I speak a little of your language now. .. "

Ecbert started to move and get more comfortable in his cage, and continued saying as we all looked and listened to the old man; " I loved your father, he was my friend and i know that more than anything he wanted to build a farming community here "

My brother's started to walk and circle Ecbert, and you said; " And you killed him because of this. .. "

Ecbert answered; " Yes it's true, I did but the tables have turned we can make a new deal .. "

Bjorn said; " What are you proposing, "

Ecbert continued to say; " What as you say, it's only a matter of time before your driven away from here  and with no legal right to English lands you have no hope in staying here but I am King of Kings and I can give you that legal right. "

Ecbert moves in the cage as if he's trying to get closer and he continues; " I will give you legal claim to the kingdom of East Anglia, it's a large kingdom and because I am King, no one can question that claim. It seems that you have enough men to enforce it until it holds. That's my offer, you should consider it. "

We all looked at each other, my brother Ivar and I knew the other's were considering it. Ecbert sat back in his cage, and Ubbe gripped the corner of the cage and said to Ecbert; " What do you want in return? "

Ecbert looked at Ubbe immedently and waited a moment to speak until he did; " I'll only tell you that once you agree to my proposal. "

The room fell silent and soon we made out way out to the courtyard. You were out roaming around, you left the side of your brother who was cleaning his helmet and as you were walking away you noticed Bjorn walking towards him and you could only assume what he was going to talk about with him. You smiled to yourself and although you never said it to anyone but Ivar you knew that Bjorn wasn't fit to lead. He was going to ask what Ivar thought about King Ecbert's proposal, anyone with a mind knows we should take the land but it isn't always that easy.

Soon it was time to seal the deal, and we all gathered around to witness it and as King Ecbert and his legal follower sat across from Bjorn and Ivar. The two men spoke to eachother in their own language, after he was done talking he reached for the stamp and marked the deed. He then said as he looked at Bjorn; " Bjorn Ironside, Son of Ragnar, I King Ecbert give you the right to settle the lands of East Anglia and I pray you succeed "

While he was saying that he lifted the deed and presented it to Bjorn, as Bjorn took the deed King Ecbert made the sign of the cross. As Bjorn overlooked the deed, King Ecbert stood from his seat and said; " And now, I have a final journey to take .. "

Ecbert turned and hugged his companion and walked to be met by two warrior guards, they took him back to the back room and watching him walk away made your blood boil. You looked over to your brother Ivar, who was clearly pissed and everyone else came closer as Bjorn got up and walked out. They were looking at the deed and Ivar decided to crawl out. You followed him, he went out towards his chariot and climbed up. You stood leaning on it and said to Ivar; " We should make him suffer, for what he did to father. We shouldn't allow him to die in the way that he wants. .. We should BloodEagle him just as we did with Aelle. "

Ivar obviously angered, and he answered you; " I couldn't agree more with you sister "

Ivar, and you sat there for awhile just trying to think of anything else but all you two could think about was your father when you three came here and everything that happened. If it wasn't for your father Ivar and you would have died alongside him. There was a huge feast that was undergoing, you were sitting with your brothers in the center of the feast, music and chatter was erupting from the town square of Wessex as we all enjoyed our victory. Bjorn grabbed the horn to grab everyones attention and to be settled so he could talk and be heard. Bjorn stood up, finished his cup of ale and said; " Friends! No one will ever be able to doubt what we have achieved, an army of all our people! and we have defeated not one but two English Kingoms! "

Everyone cheered raising their cups in the air, and Bjorn continued; " For us, the Sons and daughter of Ragnar, our first duty was to avenged our fathers death and that we have done! but also we have achieved my father's dream, we have the legal right to the land and to farm here! "

You didn't really like the fact, about farming but it was your father's dream to farm here. No matter how you felt, it was happening and every Viking cheered as Bjorn told them about the claim they on a land to farm and build a settlement. You didn't care for farming, you wanted to fight, to raid that is what you wanted to do and that's exactly what you were going to do. Bjorn continued; " It is up to all of you to use this oppurtunity to send over new settlers and young familes, unfortunetly i will not be here to see this new settlement grow and thrive. .. my fate will take me elsewhere I always knew i had to return to explore the Mediterrian Sea and now i feel free to follow my destiny, but my brothers and sister will be here for you all..SKOAL "

Everyone lifted their cups, and cheered ' SKAOL ' and you slowly lifted yours and cheered in an almost whisper not exactly thrilled that you will be here watching as they try to farm. Ivar then said loudly; " I will be here but not to settle down and plow, who wants to be a farmer now? Hmm? We have a great army and we should use it! there are many other places that I want to attack and raid! and those of you that feel like I do you should come with me and those of you that don't ask yourself who can stand in our way now?! "

Everyone cheered, and Ubbe looked at us and looked back to Ivar and said; " You cannot lead the army Ivar hmm  "

Ivar looked at Ubbe and answered him quickly; " I don't want to lead the army Ubbe, all I'm saying is that for those that still brave enough to raid and find adventure then I will lead them, you can put on an apron and settle down if you want too "

Ubbe smiled at Ivar's response, you couldn't help but giggle at that last statement, and Hvisterk ate his meat and once he swallowed that last piece he said to Ivar; " It will take a great man Ivar, you should take a claim here defend it. "

Ivar amused at Hvisterk he said; " Ahh, that does not sound like yourself there dear brother, the Hvisterk I know would love to raid, hes a real Viking and what you just said is not the Viking way. So. .."

He turned away from us and looked to the people and said loudly; " Who amoung you will follow me?! Who will follow me into battle for the love of fame and for the love of Odin and Valhalla?! "

The people cheered, Ivar sat back down and you smiled along with Hvisterk then Sigurd said to Ivar; "  Don't do this Ivar, we are all the Sons of Ragnar, we have to stick together "

Ivar said; " Frankly dear Sigurd I don't care what you say, the truth is I wouldn't even piss down your throat even if your lungs were on fire "

Everyone listening laughed at Ivar's response to Sigurd, you knew this would end badly and you weren't sitting next to Ivar like you normally did, you were between Hvisterk and Bjorn. You looked between your two brother's on edge and Sigurd didn't like what Ivar said and he retaluated with a harsh response to Ivar; " Well that because you are not really a man, are you boneless? "

Ivar knew what he was talking about, and you said quietly to Sigurd; " Sigurd, stop it "

Bjorn said; " So who's going to stay here and farm? "

King Harald stood and said; " I would like to stay. .. but I have other plans Skoal "

Everyone understood King Haralds decision and then his brother Halfdan stood up and said; " As for me, I want to go with Bjorn. I want to see the Meditterian "

Hearing this Bjorn jumped up and over the table that we were sitting at and walked over towards Halfdan to embrace him and said; " So it seems the only thing that kept the Sons of Ragnar together was the death of their father "

Ivar being already upset he spat at Bjorn, and you threw your head back at your brother knowing this is only going to get worse; " Poor Bjorn it is you who doesn't want to keep the army together, it is you who wants to go away to sunny places, everyone else can follow me "

Sigurd got up from his seat and said; " I do not want to follow you Ivar, you are crazy! You have the mind of a child! "

Ivar seething said; " And all you do is play music Sigurd "

Sigurd answered; " So, I'm just as much of a Son of Ragnar as you are "

With that he took a drink of hs ale, and Ivar said; " I'm not so sure, as far as i remember Ragnar didn't play the lute and he certainly did not offer his ass to other men "

The people laughed hearing Ivar, and you and Ubbe looked at Ivar and Sigurd hoping they would stop this nonesense, you said to Ivar but clearly he didn't hear you; " Ivar, stop. This isn't how brother's treat one another "

Sigurd said to Ivar; " You make me laugh, just like you do when you crawl around like a baby "

Ivar slammed his fist agaisnt the table and yelled; " Shut your mouth! "

Bjorn yelled to the two Sons of Ragnar; " Enough! "

Ivar didn't hesitate to yell at Bjron; " This has nothing to do with you! "

Sigurd pushing his luck said to Ivar; " What's the matter Ivar? You can't take it? "

Ubbe spoke up; " Ivar, do not listen to him "

Sigurd still being foolish; " No I guess it must be hard now that your mommy's dead! Knowing she's the only one that ever really loved you "

Sigurd started to take a drink of this ale, Ivar was shaking with anger and you could see that he was boiling with such rage that he was going to do something stupid like he had done at the blacksmith's shop. This time you were sitting far from him, and you could see the axe and he reached for it you and Ubbe yelled; " Ivar! "

Ivar lunged his axe straight at Sigurd's chest, you watched at it struck him perfectly over his heart. You looked from Ivar to Sigurd in shock, you couldn't believe what was unfolding in front of you. Sigurd fell back a bit, and looked at Ivar in utter disbelief as we all were. Sigurd tried to catch is breath, and he reached up to the axe that was stuck in his chest and pulled it out. Ubbe and I looked at Sigurd ready to stand Sigurd fell towards the table and held himself up for a moment before he raised the axe and started to walk towards Ivar. Sigurd fell just before he could reach Ivar and you jumped over the table, as Ubbe and Hvisterk ran around and we all came to Sigurd, you moved his hair trying to look at him. He wasn't breathing, Ubbe was saying, ' no , no '

Repeating himself over and over again, you couldn't believe it you then looked up to your brother Ivar. Hvisterk and Ubbe looked up to him aswell and back down to Sigurd. Ivar looked to the people, like he couldn't understand what he had just done, and he looked back to you his eyes said everything and you knew he didn't mean it. He he looked down at Sigurd's lifeless body, as me and my brother's tried everything to wake him up but he was gone. Ivar killed our brother Sigurd, Ivar killed his own brother out of pure rage.

Sorry it took me so long to write this, hope you like it! :*

Imagine you and Ubbe have this attraction that you both try to ignore the best you can, but the attraction just takes the both you to a whole new level

Once the ships returned to Kattegat, only Ubbe got off the ships with a few men. You did not see Hvisterk, Sigurd, Ivar or even Floki. You looked to see if Bjorn was on the ships as well, this kind of alarmed you because you did not see any of them, just Ubbe. You thought to yourself maybe they all died in battle, but you couldn't jump to that thought right away so you just stayed beside Lagertha. You were her toughest warrior, even more skilled then Torvi and Astrid. Ubbe was greeted by his wife Margarethe, and they walked up to the great hall where Queen Lagertha was waiting to greet Ubbe. Ubbe walked into the great hall and was greeted with open arms, although he was a tad reluctant to embrace her, she than said; " welcome home Ubbe " He gave her a brief grin, and responded; " good to be home " Lagertha than asked looking around; " why are you alone Ubbe? where are your brothers? where is my son Bjorn? " Ubbe took a moment to answer, he looked around at everyone, he than proceeded to take a deep breath and said; " well, Sigurd is dead. Ivar killed him with his axe. " Everyone went silent with shock as to what Ubbe just announced, then Ubbe went on to explain; " Ivar and Hvisterk have taken over the heathen army and turned against me. As far as I know I am now at war with my brothers. " Margrethe looked at Ubbe when she heard about Hvisterk, then Lagertha lifted her chin knowing exactly what that meant if Ivar was in command of the Great Heathen Army. She than asked Ubbe in a rather concerned tone; " and what of my son? Bjorn.. " Ubbe looked at her and said; " Bjorn and Halfdan went to explore the Mediterranean Sea " Ubbe then looked towards Torvi; " Bjorn wanted me to tell you, that he misses and loves you and then children and promises to return " Torvi nodded and smiled to herself as she got the message, Ubbe then said to Lagertha; " Bjorn also said that he loves you and will return home " Lagertha's eyes lightened as she heard Ubbe and then she said as the ale was being passed around, she lifted her cup to Ubbe and said so everyone in the great hall would hear; " here's to Ubbe and his safe return home to Kattegat, Skal ! " Everyone cheered and yelled; " SKAL " Ubbe held his cup as well and drank from it, Lagertha ordered the servant's to get the feast going. Ubbe and his wife took their seats, along with Lagertha. The feast was in full swing, music was playing and the ale was flowing. You were sitting with Torvi, when Ubbe noticed you then he said over the music; " You look different, Y/N " You looked at Ubbe, he looked deep within your eyes, there was a sparkle and you got this intense wave go over you. You've never felt that before and you said with a little grin; " as do you, Ubbe " Margrethe noticed the eye contact, this upset her and she said to her husband; " Ubbe, take me home " Ubbe didn't look at his wife instantly, you broke the trance first and he followed your gaze to his wife. He knew he was caught and cleared his throat and replied; " uh, let's go " Ubbe and Margarethe walked away, but before he was out of sight he looked back towards you and he seen you smiling, laughing it gave him such a shiver of arousal. That night with his wife he couldn't help but picture you. There was something that just attracted you to him, like never before. You enjoyed the rest of the evening, chatting and drinking ale with the rest of the shield maiden's and your queen but in the back of your mind you couldn't get Ubbe out of your head. You had no idea why he was even in your thoughts, you have never thought of him like this before. You've known Ubbe for a long time now, you have never found him attractive before but tonight something awoke in you that you just couldn't resist him. You weren't sure if it was the ale, or what but that night everything changed. The next day, you were in the training yard with a few warriors. You were in the mood to practice, it was you against three big warriors. You took up this challenge with a smile upon your lips, you held your shield and your sword ready, your axe hanging from your waist in case you needed it. One man to your right charged and you lunged forward, you transferred your balance from your right foot to your left and twisted hitting him just under his shield and the man to your left came at you and you twirled your body and your sword would have got him in the throat if you were in the mood for killing he would have died right then and there. Instead you moved so you were able to kick the back of his leg which made his legs buckle and he fell to his knees. Your third opponent hit you, you lost your shield and you got your balance back and you pulled for your axe and rushed the man, you were quick and you hit the man with the butt of your axe. He was dazed and you managed to get him to the ground, your knee to his chest and axe to his throat. A crowd kind of form around the training yard, you heard low applause and you heard Ubbe say as he was leaning against a tree; " impressive " You got up, caught your breath and looked up to Ubbe who had a rather devilish smile start to curve on the edge of his mouth. You wiped the sweat from you brow and said with a tad of a cocky tone; " indeed Ubbe " You walked over to where Ubbe was, he said as you approached; " where did you learn how to wield a sword like that? in fact, where did you learn to fight like that ? " You leaned beside him and answered his question; " Practice, lots and lots of practice and the fact that almost everyone I meet underestimates me, well that's just more of a boost to get better " Ubbe was very intrigued by you in almost every single way, you noticed Ubbe's eyes traveled up and down your body and you bit your lip at the thought of how delicious he looked. You just stood against the tree, watching one another when the other wasn't looking then to the men that were fighting. You then asked Ubbe; " what happened over there Ubbe? with your brother's I mean ? " Ubbe swallowed hard, his eyes darted quickly then he cleared his throat; " uh, well where do I start ? you know Ivar and I have our differences and well this time it went to far " You nodded in acknowledgement to what he said and you understood, for as long as you knew the sons of Ragnar you always seen Ivar butting heads with his older brothers. Not so much with Ubbe, but mostly with Sigurd. You knew Ivar had a temper and Sigurd always pushed him over the edge. Ubbe then continued; " and with Ivar killing Sigurd, well that was Sigurd pushing Ivar way beyond the edge. His temper just got the best of him and his axe was inches away and it all happened so quickly. Hvisterk and I didn't even have time to react. " You looked at Ubbe, you could see the guilt in his eyes for not protecting his younger brother, but also the uncertainty of what will come because of his decision to leave. Ubbe looked at you then you said before he had a chance to say anything; " you can't blame yourself for what Ivar has done, Ubbe " Ubbe looked at you, it's like he needed to hear exactly that. His blue eyes sparkled once again, you felt butterflies in your stomach and a heat that was radiating throughout your body then in a moment you snapped back into reality you thought to yourself ' no, you can't feel like this. he's a married man ' You said quickly; " uh, I better get back. Lagertha is expecting me " You headed up towards the great hall, as you were walking you could feel Ubbe's eyes on you. You reached the great hall, Lagertha greeted you with a smile; " Y/N, good your here ” You smiled, and she noticed your gear and added; " ahh I see you were fighting again. you are getting quite skilled Y/N " You smiled as she praised you, and you walked closer to her and she embraced you with a hug and said in your ear; " I'm proud of the warrior that you've become "

You looked aside Lagertha to both Torvi and Astrid, they greeted you as well. You all sat at the table, Lagertha ordered the servants to pass the ale around. You shared a drink and talked until Ubbe came through the doors. Everyone looked over to him as he entered and walked towards the table that you all were sitting at. You and Ubbe shared a look, Margarethe followed Ubbe's gaze and you looked at her, she glanced at you then put her head down and then looked back at Ubbe. Lagertha said looking towards Ubbe; " nice for you to finally join us Ubbe " Ubbe grinned and said; " I was .. distracted " Everyone exchanged looks of confusion as to why he was distracted and then Lagertha continued to say; " well your here now, let's discuss our battle strategy for when Ivar brings the army down on our heads " The discussion went on for awhile, throughout the entire meeting you and Ubbe couldn't help but look at each other every now and than and it was making it difficult for you to concentrate at the task you both were apart of. That night, Margrethe asked Ubbe while he laid naked in bed. She walked towards him, he reached for her hand and she quickly pulled it away from his reach and he asked with a puzzled look on his face; " what is it? what's the matter " Margarethe looked at Ubbe with a stern look and said; " You love Y/N ? " Ubbe didn't answer right away, he was shocked for her to even say anything like that and then he said; " ah, no .. she's just different " Margarethe didn't really like that answer and she said as she came closer to him; " have you fucked her yet ? is she better than I am ? " Ubbe sat up and defended himself; " no I haven't. why are you asking me these questions " She than said; " do you want her ? " He looked at her, almost as if she was challenging him and he said; " actually, I do .. " Margarethe was dumbfounded at his response and stormed off, Ubbe sat there in his bed trying to figure out what had just happened. Meanwhile, you were laying down in your bed just thinking than all of a sudden your door opened, your quick reaction was to grab your axe, then Ubbe said with his hands up; " woah ! Y/N it's just me " You sat there inches away from throwing your axe at Ubbe and you said in a rather panting tone; " what the are you doing here, Ubbe ?! " Ubbe stood there, not knowing exactly what to say and you stood up and walked towards him with a confused look; " well ? " Ubbe just looked at you, like you were a goddess, your hair was flowing over your shoulder, you were out of your armor and in a night grown that didn't leave much to the imagination. You waited for a response, than in a calmer voice; " Ubbe ? everything okay " Ubbe lunged for you, he cupped your face and kissed your lips. The taste of him was unlike anything you've ever tasted before. You were stunned at his action, yet you didn't pull away you kissed him back. You finally pulled away from his lips, you both looked at each other, you couldn't believe that you were kissing one another it was very surreal. He looked at you like he needed you for air, he kissed you again this time more hungrily. He pressed his body against yours, he growled with lust and his hands roamed over your curves, his hands moved to your hair and he grabbed a handful and gave it a tug. He tugged just enough so your head tilted back, exposing your neck to him and he kissed along your jawline and moved down to your neck. He kissed and sucked just underneath your ear, that sent a pleasurable vibration throughout your body, you shivered at his kiss, and he started to kiss and nip at your neck. His hands followed your curves, they were on your hips and moved south, he picked you up and you wrapped your legs around his waist. He walked you over to the bed, he laid you down, his body hovered over you, his hands on each side of you. He looked down at you, admiring his view. You looked up at him, then he buried himself in you. You took control and turned Ubbe onto his back, he smiled as you were on top of him. He sat up, he slowly grabbed at the hem of your gown and slowly pulled it up and over your head, revealing your naked body to him. He took a deep breath, his eyes traveled up and down your fabulous body, your battle scars displayed nicely and you blushed, he slowly leaned in to kiss you and he said sweetly; " you are a goddess Y/N " You kissed him with such passion the feeling rushed throughout Ubbe's body like a shock. He didn't waste any time taking off his own shirt just so he could feel your skin against his. Your hips started to rock along with Ubbe's in sync, your body was in overdrive and you reached down to his trousers and untied the knot that was keeping them around his waist. You helped Ubbe pull them off and he uncovered his large, hard member before you. He gave you a cocky yet prideful grin at your reaction to seeing his erect member. He couldn't wait any longer he wanted you right then and there, he grabbed you and laid you down, you spread your legs open for him, he lined himself up with your already went entrance. He teased you a bit, he rubbed his shaft against your hard swollen clit. You bit your lip to keep from moaning, he growled and then he finally slid himself deep inside you. Your walls stretched around him and you both let out a pleasurable gasp, you through your head back and Ubbe started to grind slowly against you. His head went into the nook of your neck, you felt his hot breath along your skin, your nails scratched at his back, he started to pick up the speed, your moans got more louder. Ubbe couldn't contain how he was feeling, he moaned your name; " Y/N " You were close to your release, your walls were tightening around Ubbe, he closed his eyes in pure pleasure. You arched your back, inches away from the edge, you moaned; " Ubbe. ." Hearing this, and feeling you come to your release, Ubbe was not far behind. He pumped through both your orgasms and finally he fell on top of you, both out of breath. You caressed the back of his head, neck and Ubbe was still inside you as you both just laid there in each others embrace. He rolled over to your side and laid beside you, he pulled his arm around you and you rested your head on his chest. You took the scent of him in, as he did with you. He gently kissed you on top of your head, and he smiled silently to himself. You thought to yourself as you trailed your fingers lightly across his chest and you sat up quickly. Ubbe confused and said in a concerned voice; " what's the matter, Y/N ? " You didn't say anything right away, you just sat there and than you got off the bed, put on your gown and turned to Ubbe; " Ubbe, what are we doing ?! " Ubbe sat up at the edge of the bed, the animal skin over his lap covering himself and he leaned forward with his fists holding the edge of the bed and said in a low tone; " uh, well we were having sex. .. " You looked at him and said; " Ubbe, your married. we can't do this ? I'm not this kind of a person " Ubbe tilted his head slightly to the left, and his eyes grew soft with guilt and said; " Y/N. .. what we did, it wasn't wrong " You went and sat down beside him and looked straight ahead and said in an almost pained voice; " Ubbe, this night was great but it cant happen again " Ubbe was hurt, but he respected your choice, he licked his lips and nodded his head understanding. He grabbed his clothes and slowly put them on, just before he slipped on his shirt you got up and walked over to him and said; " Ubbe, tonight. .. was great. I will not forget it " Ubbe slipped his shirt on, he stood in front of you and held you. His hug was warm, almost loving like and he pulled away but before he walked away he leaned into you and pressed his lips against you. The sensation he gave you was indescribable, and once your lips parted, he looked at you with his bright blue eyes it was like looking into the ocean. He moved away slowly, still touching as he was walking away, and his arms were extended out to still touch you as he was walking away, until he was too far to reach. Just before he left, he looked over at you as if it were to be the last time, you took a deep breath and he walked out, and you let out that breath. You sat down on your bed, regretting letting him leave. You wanted him to stay, but deep down you knew it was wrong for him to be in your bed, to be kissing you, he was married. You knew some men liked to have multiple wives but you didn't live that way, you felt differently about it and so you didn't want to do that. The next day you didn't go into the great hall like you normally did, instead you went out for a ride, you needed the fresh air. You went up the trail that lead to the top of the canyon that gave you the most amazing view of Kattegat. You jumped up off your stud, patted him as you pulled his reins and held them as you walked towards the edge. You took in the sight of your home, it was utterly breathtaking. You stayed there for awhile, eventually you made your way back slowly to the great hall. You got off your horse, tied him to a nearby pole and walked up the steps, you opened to the doors. Once inside you seen Torvi and her son Guthrum sparring, you grinned at the sight of them, and you seen Lagertha sitting in her throne watching as well. As you walked towards Lagertha you noticed Ubbe sitting with Margarethe, Ubbe sat up watching you, you looked at him and looked away slowly. The fire in your belly was roaring, but you pushed it aside. Ubbe knew Margarethe was seething as she watched her husband watch you with such desire, you bowed and greeted Lagertha. You sat there along with Lagertha trying to keep your eyes on the sparring that was ahead of you. Lagertha noticed how Ubbe could not keep his eyes off of you and she leaned towards you and said in her rather pensive tone; " since the moment you walked through those doors, Ubbe has not taken his eyes off of you Y/N " You sat back, listened to every word she said, and as she said that you looked over to Ubbe. It's like you two had your own language, both your eyes did not stray away. You blinked slowly, licked your lips and tilted your head upwards towards the queen and said in a low voice; " has he ? I. .I haven't noticed " Lagertha knew you all too well that you were lying and she gave you a little laugh that came from her chest, she said; " Y/N, you have always been a terrible liar " You nodded, and looked towards Torvi who was testing her son rather fiercely, he knocked her down and she laughed; " ok ok, enough .. phew my son soon I will have to find someone else to practice with you. you are getting to strong for me " They laughed and hugged, you smiled and before they went to see you and Lagertha, she said; " Y/N, you have no control for what the gods have in store for you. I think you should just enjoy it, rather than trying act like there isn't anything going on between you two. " You looked over at Ubbe, and he was on his way out. Before he left he peered in your direction, watching you as you congratulated Guthrum in his skills. It was as if you were in slow motion for him, your smile seemed brighter, your eyes were more hazel than normal, it was as if you put a spell over Ubbe. There was a feast that was happening that evening, servants were gathering everything for the meal, the ale was being readied, the food was placed on the table and people started to gather in the great hall. Lagertha requested you to join her in her chambers, as you entered the room Astrid and Lagertha were waiting. You stood in the door way, not knowing exactly what they wanted. Lagertha smiled, you stood like a true solider awaiting orders, then she said as she looked over to Astrid; " we need to find the perfect dress for Y/N " You looked at them with such confusion and you eventually said; " uhh, a dress ? what's the special occasion ? " Astrid and Lagertha shared a look with one another, laughed and Astrid said as she walked over to where she had dresses hanging; " no occasion, Y/N " You gave Lagertha a scheming look, you knew what she was up to. She walked over to where Astrid was and picked up a red firery dress and displayed it you and said; " I think this one will do just nicely for, what you think Astrid? " She looked at the dress and looked at you and said with grin; " yes, this one would be perfect " You looked at the dress, it was rather stunning and you took a deep breath and said; " uh, okay " You allowed Lagertha and Astrid to get you ready for tonight, they did your hair and put the dress on. This was so foreign for you, you have never worn a dress, you were always battle ready. The only dress like clothing that you've ever worn was your night gown. As they finished, you looked at your reflection in the water barrel that was nearby, you looked like a princess. You turned to Lagertha and Astrid and they looked at you proudly and said; " Y/N, you look beautiful. Goddess-like, Ubbe will not know what hit him when you step into the great hall " You blushed and said in a low tone; " but he's married, Lagertha " Lagertha walked over to you, looked you dead in the eye and said in the most serious voice; " yes Y/N he is married, but he has eyes for you. he is the son of Ragnar Lothbrok, and it's the will of the gods if he chooses you instead of Margarethe " You looked at her, nodded and the three of you made your way out to the great hall. People were laughing, talking and once the queen entered the room, it fell silent in respect. She walked in and up to her throne, greeted everyone. You didn't go into the great hall right away, you waited because you were a tad nervous about seeing Ubbe. Lagertha had the ale handed out, and everyone held up their cups and everyone yelled; " Skal ! " The music started to play, everyone started to eat and drink. You finally emerged through the doors, all eye's immediately went to you. Ubbe's eyes widened at the site of you, you were the most beautiful thing he as ever seen, he moved forward in his chair, licked his lips and his eyes never once left you. You noticed him, he smiled at you and you matched his. Your eyelashes fluttered, and you walked over to where Lagertha and Astrid were sitting. Ubbe wasn't seated that far from them either, his pulse quickened as you got closer. He watched you as if he was an animal on the hunt and you were his prey, your dress was loose, yet tight in all the right places. It covered you, yet it showed just enough skin, your hair was braided up and yet it hung over your shoulders. You reached them, took a bow towards your queen and she gestured you to take a seat beside her. She leaned towards you, you matched hers and leaned into her and she said; " you look wonderful my dear " You smiled and responded; " thanks' to you my queen " Lagertha grinned and sat back in her throne, you sat back in your chair and drank your ale. Your lips kissed the cup, the ale dripping into your mouth, the liquid leaving your lips with just a glimmer. Ubbe felt his pants tighten at the sight of you drinking your ale, his hand rubbed his hard member down, trying to silence it but it was like it hand a mind of it's own. You talked and laughed with Torvi who was sitting aside of you, you knew Ubbe had his eyes glued to you. You took a chance and looked towards Ubbe, that night came rushing back like a title wave. You took a deep breath remembering everything, the way his lips tasted, the way his body felt against yours and the way he felt when he was inside of you. Ubbe was sitting back in his chair, his hand to his mouth, his finger trailing his lips, he was remembering that night the two of you had. The way you moaned his name, the way you kissed and bit his neck, the way you rode him, the feeling of you wrapped around his member. He could not seem to forget that night even if he wanted too. You couldn't take it anymore, the feeling of seeing him and not being able to touch or be near him was killing you. You got up from your chair and walked out of the great hall. Ubbe seen you leaving, he didn't hesitate, Margrethe grabbed Ubbe's arm and said in an angry voice; " what do you think you are doing Ubbe ?! " Ubbe looked down at her, eyebrows furrowed with frustration and he said; " I'm going to see Y/N, let go of me " Margrethe did not listen, she still held onto him and she said through clenched teeth; " if you go Ubbe, I will divorce you " Ubbe ripped his arm from her grip and leaned towards her, he said to her in a irritated tone; " we are divorced, I don't want you anymore " Ubbe looked at her dead in the eyes, she was petrified, her eyes started welling up with tears. Ubbe proceeded to walk away, and out he went. Margrethe just sat there not knowing what to do exactly, she looked up towards Lagertha who was smiling as she watched everything unfold. Margrethe than got up from her seat and left in a different direction then the way Ubbe and you left. You were walking on the trail that you normally took home, Ubbe was hot on your trail. Your thoughts were running wild you didn't even hear him run up behind you. Last minute you heard a branch break from behind you and you instantly went into self defense mode, you turned your head and seen a hand reaching out for you and you grabbed it. You pulled it upwards and your elbow pulled back into the mans rib cage, he groaned and you pulled him up and over you, making him fall hard onto his back. You still hand his arm and you placed your foot on his chest and to your surprise it was Ubbe. Ubbe laying on the ground in pain yet he still managed to laughed, you could hear the pain and he said; " Y/N, it's me " You looked down at Ubbe and said as you quickly let go of his arm and bend over to him; " oh my god Ubbe, I . .. I didn't know it was you " You touched him gently and he looked up at you and said; " least I know not to come up and surprise you like that " You laughed at the situation and you eventually spit out; " what are you doing here Ubbe ? " Ubbe sat up slowly and looked at you, kneeling beside him and said; " I can't stay away from you Y/N, I've tried ... " You bit your lip, and looked down before you responded; " Ubbe, we can't do this " Ubbe, tilted his head and reached out and he lightly grabbed your chin so you would look at him, he said; " tell me you don't feel what I feel when I see you, when I'm with you "

Ubbe licked his lips, you were about to say something but Ubbe crashed his lips into yours. It was passionate, it was loving. You didn't deny that this is where you wanted to be, kissing Ubbe, feeling him touch you. Your lips parted and he said softly; " y/n, this is right. tell me you don't think about me " You looked at Ubbe, tired of lying to yourself and him you finally released what you tried so desperately to push away; " your all I think about Ubbe " Ubbe hearing this it was as if a huge wave of relief swept off of him, he let out a breath and said with a smile; " I divorced Margrethe, I am not a married man anymore " You heard what he said, but you weren't sure if you were happy or upset with yourself and you said; " what? was it because of me ? " Your expression was troubled, and Ubbe reading your face, he took a moment or two to answer and he said; " no, I did not love her anymore " You studied his face, and before you could answer he said; " it was not because of you y/n, you are who I want now. who I want to be with " You gave him a little grin, and he got up reaching out his hand for yours, you grabbed him and he pulled you to your feet. He backed up, he twirled you and said in an admiring tone; " you look like a goddess y/n " You blushed at his comment, and before you knew it he pulled you quickly to his body. Smashing into his body, he held you so close to his it was as if they were molding into one. His hands roamed over your body, he took in your scent. You closed your eyes because this was everything you wanted, his hand made its way to your neck and he placed it just under your chin. He made you look up to him, his piercing blue eyes looking into your hazel ones. You could see just how blue they were even in the dark, but the moonlight was bright enough to make everything seem so magical. He said as he looked at you; " Your eyes sparkle brighter than the stars above " You gave him a smile and he placed a loving kiss to your lips. His tongue ran across your lips and you allowed it to dance with yours. He let out a moan as he kissed you, you smiled as he continued to kiss you. Once your lips parted, he ran his finger over your swollen, red lips lightly and suggested; " shall we take this somewhere else ? " You back up a tad, and joked; " over there by the tree is fine " Ubbe looked over to the tree that you just gestured too, you laughed and ran up the trail. Ubbe chuckled and chased after you.
