This story follows the life of a young African boy, who was ripped from the life he had known and thrown into an unforgiving one where a single mistake could cost him everything. Being branded a "thrall", he was to be sold but an unforeseen event swept him ashore in the heart of the Norsemen, the Vikings. What fate has the Gods chosen for this child? is it one of salvation or one of destruction? COVER IS OWNED BY ME!
Erik narrated everything in grim details, and this included how he violated Asgeer's wife and how Askild was aware of it, Erik was done with the games because he was on a certain high after killing Arild, but he did not stop there, Erik bragged about having his way with Lagertha.
Everyone's jaw dropped, Tyr could not believe he was serving under the man that had caused his mother such pain, Lagertha's reaction made sense now.
Askild remained quiet, he did not look moved by this revelation despite everyone expecting an explanation. If Erik was punished accordingly, Lagertha would have never been touched so the fault all fell to Askild.
Birger was satisfied with this development, he always knew Erik was a loose canon but it seemed even Askild had lost control over him for some reason.
