Kingdom of east anglia,Beach
"So you must be sveri."
"Lord."Sveri said as he bowed his head.
"You will be dealing with me today I had you have someone among your slaves Uhtred Ragnarsson?"
"Yes,lord it is him."
Sven then looked at uhtred and raised his chin and strangled him by the neck.
"You,uhtred Ragnarsson!Where is she!"
Uhtred did not respond.
"Where is tura!"
Uhtred did not respond again.
Sven let go of uhtred and he fell to the ground.
Give him a sword.
"Lord?"
"I said give him a sword!"sven shouted
One of the slavers gave uhtred a sword but he was barley able to stand up and used all his strength to rely on the sword.
"Come on fight me!Uhtred Ragnarsson!"
The others laughed as Sven said "Today shall be the day that I kill you uhtred Ragnarsson!"
He then swang his sword when Hild jumped in the way.
Her body fell to the ground.
"NO!"Uhtred shouted.
He used all his strength and grabbed hild and kept on shouting and screaming.
Sven got out his sword and was about to kill uhtred when he said one word "Rogat."
Sven didn't know what he meant.
"Rogat?Rogat has tura?Lord Rogat of Wessex?Conquerer of the southern lands?"sven said as he shivered at his name.
Uhtred then looked at him and then looked back at Hild and started crying again.
"Today, I shall spare your life uhtred Ragnarsson!"
Uhtred looked at Sven and then back at Hild again.
"Free him!"
"What?"
"Did you not hear me I said free him!and give him back his sword!"
Sveri freed uhtred and gave him back his sword as uhtred was left to wonder the land.
Uhtred may have given up on life but destiny had other plans and History would not let him die.
Uhtred may have not known it but his path with Sveri would intertwine once again elsewhere.

"He will take her as his bride?"

"What?!by who?who would dare do something so foolish?!"
"The heathen lord.well that is what the people believe but I think that there are other forces at play here lord."
"Very well Aldhelm invertsigate this matter personally and confirm this if the Dane's did indeed do this then it is the beggining of a war.

Bloodhair and his warband were raiding the surrounding Villiages of lord odas camp blocking the road for food and destroying the food supply of all the Villiages.
By doing this for 3 weeks lord oda and his men starved in the fortress and had no choice but to fight outside of the fortress
"Lord!we must fight!there is less than 50 of them and 60 of us lord we will win if we fight!"
"Ok,gather the men prepare them."

"My lady,you should eat properly."
"I do not feel hungry but thank you."
"It is fine my lady,perhaps my lady is feeling unwell?"
"No, I am fine thank you.You may leave now!"
Aelsworth was reflecting on the events of what had happend her husbands death and what should happen to her children.She couldn't believe her husband Alfred was dead.
Was there any hope for Wessex?if so who would save it in this time of need?
"Sheild wall!"
Bloodhair got his men into position as he saw odas forces moving out of the fortress.
"ARROWS!"lord oda said and the arrows flew on the battlefield raining down like hellfire on the heathens.
Bloodhairs sheild wall was not weakened by this but 4 men were injured.
Lord oda then got out his sword and drew his sword.
"For Wessex!For god!and to erase the heathens from our lands!"
"AHHHHHH!"
The Saxons charged into battle lord oda was on a horse the Saxons charged with there swords as bloodhair held the shield wall.
"Now!"Bloodhair said
"Lord?LORD!"
"What?what is it?"
Lord oda said as he tuned around and saw an army of Dane's.
"Dear god save us from the heathens."
