Chapter 2.

In the courtyard everyone was gearing up for war the servants were getting the supplies ready. People are still coming in from the lands ready for war. Young and old alike ready for Valhalla.

We marched till the sun was disappearing and the moon slowly comes out. We travelled through the makeshift path that hold a cart so maybe two man callums, going south the river on the left side and forest on the right. We march in two person callum south to meet king luleã try and break their army before meeting king of Oulu. 20 ships are on the river travelling slow. Passing villages that add more men to are cause.

When we left we numbered 2000, about a 1000 are in the water while the rest are behind me. The villages we pass more men joining now we number 1300. But knowing the kings of the south can muster more than us, 3000 to 4000 maybe more given enough time and both allied to each other.

Which is what we don't have. Are lands are hard and cold, the mountains don't help but they cover us from getting conquered. Which is why three generations of us were able to carve our own kingdom. Someone nudge me and that got me out of spacing out. I looks up and seen people coming a man and what looks like his son about 15 winters. Both looking rough a bit weak looking but overall a good stature, there clothes are ripped.

Lord frode stop him blocking him from coming closer. I lift my hand to stop him and let him pass. The man falls to his knees and grabs my leg, the hold was weak and frail. Some of my men wanted to hit him but I shook my head.

I bent down and grab him by the shoulders gently and I brought him up slowly. "What's your name friend and what happen."

The man maybe in his late thirties, big beard and a semi fresh cut on the man's face. Starting from the middle of his cheek and goes upwards just missing the corning of his eye and stop. Hair it long and wild.

Man: "my…" *gasp for air* his out of breath. I motion for water and get grabs it only drinking half than giving it to his son. Who was licking his lips and the waterskin. "Sorry my king… they attack my village." "Where?" I said urgently. "Just pass the border my king, they… *hiccups* ràpe the woman in the village and killed the men and young. Some they force us to watch on what they did." Tears coming out his eyes. The son fall to his knees with tears in his eyes. "The young and old were not spared… they beg and pleaded to stop.. they laughed and went more aggressive. After when there done they sliced there throats and burn the bodies." He said with a snarl.

My heart raced and my body started to tense and the atrocities done to my people. I clench my hands my breathing has gotten heavy even though I calmed myself down to speak. "How many?" My tone cold as ice but gentle as a calm snow breeze.

He look at me with a slight fear and awe. " I didn't count but roughly 300 or less, two nights south."

I nodded "good…"

"My king." He went to he's knees. "Please allow me to march with you and get revenge on my wife and daughters." I look at his son and he had the same look as his father. "I will allow it, rest for awhile and catch up. We still have 3 days to make to intercept king of luleã." The people around him nods and start marching again I do the same.

-timeskip one day-

Everyone in position was what lord frode said. We seen smoke during the day, south of our position so we fast marched towards the village. But we stop and hide the forest because the people that rape and pillage are coming up the path.

We can hear them laughing and in the back we see some woman with torn clothes, bruised bodies. My blood ran cold at the sight of them and subconsciously clench my fist which held my sword. Can hear the leather squeaking againts the handle.

Many of my brothers and sisters did the same thing but I can see their chest rising and falling. I knew what must be done but we waited till half of the men passed us. When they were about half I stude up and grab my horn. Took a big breath and brought the horn to my lips and blow.

A percing sound echoed through the forest. Stoping the enemy advances. I can see the eyes and faces of the people below seen groups of men and woman jumping out the forest running towards with a blood thirsty war cry.

I put the horn to side and charged. My archers release the first volley of arrows some hit true while rest hit the shield or the ground. The first clash happened screaming sounds of men, steel hitting steel. The cries of young men.

I quickly joined in and slash the person infront of me. Cutting is arm off and quickly his head. I leaned my head to the right missing the axe was about to hit me.

I turn and see two men one holding a axe while the other holding a spear. The spear thrust his spear first, I jump to the left to close the distance but the man with the axe got in the way.

I deflected his swing to the right but I seen in the corner of my eye the spear is coming to side. I leaned back just in time by missing my chest. I reach for my dagger I have and quickly withdrew it and held in a reverse grip.

We broke off and circled each other eyeing each other like a peace of meat. The one with the sword attack first than fallowed by the one holding the spear.

When he attack his shield was in his right arm while his axe on his left hand. My sword hand came to the left side. My elbow infront of my chest like a v, while I brought the dagger closer to my chest. As I block his attack I push my left out and slash towards his neck.

Blood gush out of his neck, he went wide eyes. His hands made his way to neck to desperately to stop the bleeding but it was useless. I quickly moved on to the spear men with a shock expression. He thrust his spear forward aiming for my chest.

I grab the spear by the wood part and raised it up to the left side and brought him close. I thrust my sword in his neck cutting through his skin like butter. His head rested on the blunt side of the sword.

He fell on the floor and look around the battle field and see corpses of mostly enemies but can see a few of stark men among them. The battle was quick and decisive.

I made my way towards the woman and cut a few more people down before I got to them. I can see girls up to the ages of 12 to 30 winters old, most have bruises and torn clothes. Busted lips and black eyes. Purple marks are on their thigh and ass.

They number around 50 to 40 woman and girls. You can see the lifeless eyes on them. It made my blood boil. And my skin crawling for revenge. More people came to the woman especially the shield-maidens we quickly gave them our fur coats, to cover there bodies.

-sometime later-

We lined up about 50 people the surrendered to us when the battle was over, many are wounded. We did not care they are on their knees pleading for mercy or a warriors death. The leader behind the attacks was beneath me with no hands and getting pale fast.

Cregan: "I Cregan Stark, King of the first men. King of Winter. Sentence you to die, any last words."

Before he can speak I swung my sword and decapitate he head from his shoulders. Blood came shooting out his neck. His blood landed on my check but I didn't move away I just look at the people infront of me and nodded.

Everyone had a person kneeling infront of them, I seen the father that came north and warned us about them. He had a blood thirsty look on his face eyeing the person kneeling before him. He look about a 20 winters man and the son had a 30 winters man before him.

Everyone stabbed or beheaded the man but most decided to torture them before killing them. I see the dad swinging wildly at the person while the son slowly thrust his blade in and out of his person.

-Timeskip 1 day-

When the lands heard about the massacre at the rivers bend. Both kings doubled there movements and king of Oulu is a half a day away while king luleå is the same.

Me and my lords are looking at the map before us and talking about what to do. Lord frode is saying we should attack king of Oulu and catch him by surprise. While lord Leif is say we should attack king luleå on our side of the river and we can choose the terrain we hit them on.

They think were a days away from the attack we did. I lift up my hand to silince everyone and they all looked at me.

Cregan: "I heard all your strategies and they all got their goods and bad. Sorry my friend… we will go with Leif plan and attack king luleå."

Lord frode didn't like what I said but he knew that the king was looking at every angle and seeing which would help us more. We started to move south and the boats still slowly fallowed us down the river.

READ!!! Plz and thank you.

Ok need some help here if you guys don't mind. I'll probably finish the father POV in chapter 3 or 4 and the rest will be about the OC till chatper 10 or lower depending on how I write this.

I'm sorry if my fight scenes are no good but I'm trying to get better at it.

Remember oc is 416 years before the show Vikings start. And the father said there are 4 generations already. The father is the third while the oc is the fourth generation. His house was founded in 267 ad. So oc house is going to be 500+ by the time he gets to England.

How with the monk react to his castle, kingdom and on how old his linage is. Anyways I'm going to need help on house names that I'm going to add later on so can you guys/gals suggest names and if there good they'll be added in the up coming chapters. If you can think of house names and mottos.

Ex. "Winter is coming." "Ours is the fury."

Stark. Baratheon.

Ohyea I'm using Winters instead of years since in the show they used that. Sorry if it gets confusing and I noticed I should be using jarl instead of lord so I'll be doing that starting with chapter 3.

Talking = "hello there"

Thinking= 'hello there'

Gestures= *fist in the air*, *nods*, *ting*, *steel hitting steel*

Timeskip= - -

Yelling= "AAHHHHH"

Moans= ~ah~
