The ships came ashore and men rushed out of the ships, pushing down anyone in their way. They had only gotten into the village and there were already bodies strewn across the black sand. I watched as people fell to the ground, the earth shaking beneath them. We stayed silent as we listened to the rumbling ground and the stomping of our enemies.

"Augun!", I pressed as they drew closer. "Augun!", I yelled again. "Shhh!", he said. "I am trying to count."

Count? Count what? I asked myself. "There are about three hundred of them.", he blurted. "But there is only one hundred of us!", I yelled, petrified. Before Augun could answer, an arrow flew over his head and hit the man behind him. The ground continued to shake violently as the battle broke out.

Above us, we're out archers and beside us were our swordsman. We ran out to the large field in front of us. As I reached their front lines, I saw Arvid standing content of eithba smile on his face. Without thought, I charged towards him, only to find that one of his men had thrown himself in front of him.

Suddenly, men on horses began running through the battle, slashing at people on foot. I watched as a sword swooped down and cut my arm. I winced and grabbed the wound as blood poured down my arm. Thankfully, the injury was not killing, just rather painful.

I tried to ignore the pain in my arm as I swung my sword at Arvid. He moved suddenly, making me miss him. "Maybe you should have stayed in Norway and cooked for the men in Augun's home. Or are you just as bad at that than you are at swordsmanship?", he taunted.

I growled and swung again, missing again. He laughed and and struck me in the cheeck with his fist. I touched it and saw the blood on my fingers. I looked up just as he struck me again, this time, knocking me to the ground.

"Men, take her to my ship.", he ordered as he snapped his fingers. I got up and began to run but his men tackled me to the ground and pulled me up. The walked me to their ship as I kicked and spat. "Let go of me! I'll kill you!", I yelled. They laughed as they threw me on board and took me to me to the bow of the ship.

"Let me go, or I will kill you.", I threatened. "Keep your mouth shut, girl, or we will make it so you cannot talk at all."

A growl escaped my throat as they began to disarm me. I threw myself to the left and then the right, knocking over both men. I ran for my weapon and held it steady as they faced me. "You should not have done that.", one man said.

"Lord, please forgive me.", I said as I stabbed one man and then the other. They dropped to the ground, dead. I bolted off the boat and back into battle.
