How Far To Asgaard

Things had gone from very quiet to very busy, and all of it was so incredibly exciting. Björn couldn’t help but feed on that energy, the mounting bloodlust among the vikings. Something called to him, something that started in his bones. So deep within him… feeding a flame that would never and could never go out. The boy had been more underfoot than helpful as they made preparations, but no one had the heart to tell him. Feed the enthusiasm. Let the boy think he’s helping. Surely that can only lead to good things.

Traveling days were long, but Björn was pretty sure he liked them. In the back of the wagon, the boy sits, his side resting heavily against his sister. Watching out as the world passes them by, riding just close enough to hear the chatter of the raiding party. It’s so fucking exciting, right? The excitement, he can taste it. The way the outrunners check forward, then fall back. Swapping positions. Those that come back even far enough to say hello to the children… Björn⁢ can’t wait to be among them. Someday. Someday soon.

“What do you think they’re going to say to dad when he shows up?” Björn⁢ asks Lumine, a confidential whisper. The afternoon was growing late, and there was no telling who was napping and who was awake. That being said, he doesn’t care what any of the others think, not right now. The boy rests his head against Lumine’s shoulder, and he wants Lumine’s opinion.

“Didn’t the last ones try to talk him out of it?” They’d heard the bedtime story more than once. It was the first raid and of course their father had maybe exaggerated here and there. Had to keep the stories interesting, after all. When the bedtime stories include your opponents trying to use their words to prevent the vikings from coming down upon them… well, it sets a certain precedent for the kids.

Ragnarök awaits.
