blood and glory

All things considered, it had been a successful trip. Víðarr's only complaints involved the weather, but when did they not? Past the Fjord, it was only going to get worse until they hit the mountain. That's why he lingers, he takes the last day of peace with his wife and his children. The mountain had been in capable hands during his brief absence, after all. Trust keeps them alive on the mountain. Each piece fit into place, only serving to spur the viking king on harder. His children were growing, becoming bolder and tougher by the day. The current litter playing nearby, shrieking, laughing as they splashed in the Fjord. Erik lurking nearby, though Víðarr was never too sure where he'd faded off to. Morganna wouldn't be far behind, the fuss over her mushrooms still fresh on the shadow's mind.

Thoughts of them make him feel eternal. Invincible. His fate long determined, and he was doing right by that fate. Summer sun shining down around his shoulders, he rests on a broad, flat rock. While Víðarr pretends he's not watching them, his awareness is keen. They could have their secrets, say what they would, largely do what they would-- but none would be stolen away from him. He'd worked too hard. He'd come too far. None would be taken by strangers or the cold hand of the sea, not if he could help it. How many prayers had he said, begging Freyja that he not be his father's son. As good as he could for as long as he could be.

Good looks like different things to different men.

Perched on his rock, watching his children splash in the Fjord in the distance, the viking king knows only that today is a very, very good day.
