5 Part Four

Aren

The day after my assignment as leader and having absolute power, I asked them to prepare the best ships we had to reach England as soon as possible, which they obeyed without contradictions and without claims, although there were doubts.

Of course he explains my reasons and in less than half a day everything was ready.

-Goodbye son, I'm very proud of you-. Einar's mother says.

-Goodbye, Mother-. Einar says hugging her, I looked at them in the distance, imagining what it would be like if my mother were alive. Would she be proud of me? Would she hug me? I will never know.

-Aren, don't be like that, I'm proud of my best friend-. Engla says comforting me.

-Yes I know-. I say lowering my head.

-All aboard! -. Yells Daven.

-Take care of my father, yes? I don't want to lose him before my wedding-. He tells me smiling.

-That? -. I say surprised.

-You were right ... I'll get tired of ...-. Einar interrupts.

-Come on Aren, we need to get there as soon as possible- he gets on the boat.

-Who are you going to marry? -.

-With ... you know? It doesn't matter, just take good care of your entire army. He hugs me, I return the hug and I get on the boat.

We are going forward, hopefully we will arrive tomorrow morning, of course if there are no storms.

The simple crash of the waves with the boat makes me happy, but the idea of separating myself from my town is bothering me, I see the horizon and how it took me away from my town.

-Then we will follow your father's regulations-. Daven tells me.

-Yes ... I'm not going to change anything-.

-And about his wife ...-.

-I don't want anyone for now, it's better to be alone, (I go back to see him) so I won't have to mourn the loss of that person, (I walk to the main room of the ship) as I did with my parents.

I open the door and lie down, Daven has everything under control so I don't have to worry ...

(...)

-Aren, we got to England-. Einar informs me. -Ready? -. He tells me with some fear.

-Yes ... (I take my father's ax and sword) he carries the Flail, and the other spears, arrows and knives, understood? -.

-I'm afraid of dying-. He says with more fear than normal.

-I have no plans for them to die, go inform them and just breathe, nothing bad will happen for us-. I say confident, smile and go out to bring the information to the others.

When we reach the shore, a more or less old lady announces our arrival with terror, to which everyone begins to run in the hope of living.

-Einar to your left! -. I warn him what he reacts to and stabs the guy who was going to kill him. -Daven and Einar to the temple with me, the others take out the town! -. I scream as fast as I can.

-It is understood! -. Everyone yells, Daven shoots an arrow at the priest.

Everyone runs desperate except 4 people, 2 men and 2 women.

-Einar, there! -. I point to one of the men who don't run. Einar nods and sticks a spear in his head, one of the women screams while the other couple embraces.

-Daven, the flail! -. I throw the sword at him and he throws the flail at me, I throw as hard as I can until I reach the head of the other man.

-That woman! -. I yell at Einar to take her away.

-Quick Aren! -. Einar rushes me.

-I'm coming Einar-. I lean over and take the other woman's jaw. -What do we have here? -.

I was shocked, his skin is soft, white and smooth, his hair is a light tone but what impresses me the most are his eyes ... one blue like the sky and the other green like the same emerald, I had never seen eyes as beautiful as hers ...

-Let go-. It pushes me which makes me lose my balance, I keep looking at her even when she takes money from a corpse.

I got up, took her by the arm and led her out of the temple.

-Where are you taking me?!-. He tries to escape but he carried it on my shoulder and I don't answer his question. -Alejandro! -. Yell at the man who tried to stab Einar.

-Faster Faster-. Einar says excited. - Good hunting-. It says when I get on the boat.

-I know...-. The woman on my shoulder won't stop kicking for me to release her, but her efforts are in vain.

-Let go of me, you damn Viking! -. She screams crying, she left her in the dungeon of the ship where I also see that they have captured a couple of people specifically women. -You are going to regret it! -. He spits me out.

-I doubt it, Daven, we will go to Athens! -. I scream if I stop seeing her what makes her intimidate.

I leave the dungeon and go to the tip of the ship.

-That girl you brought, maybe and they'll give us some very good money-. Einar tells me.

-Maybe, but ... I don't think we'll sell it-. I say watching how we move away from the place where my mother died.

-You'll change your mind while you're there-. Einar left me alone.

That woman, her eyes, I can't stop thinking about her, I've never had this happen to any woman ... but she shouldn't be bewitching me, she'll be a simple slave in Athens.

However, what I'm thinking may endanger my people, that's something I can't allow, but ... that girl can manipulate me just by looking at me.

-Don't you dare do something that hurts people-. Daven says in a surprising way.

-Someday I'll put a bell on your ankle-. I say a little scared.

-I only warn you that the people are not prepared for a war-.

-Don't worry, I'm not going to put them at risk ...-. I say unconvinced of what I just said.

-It's the least I hope Aren, but don't forget I'll be here to remind you whenever I can-. He intimidates me in a good way, he walks away from me taking short imposing steps.

-I hope so...-. I mutter fearfully.
