THE KING IN THE NORTH 13
The elders were confused; they had never heard of Frey. But Frey is a story that had been hidden a long time ago. It was rumoured that Frey died after some years of banishment, which made her story go into extinction. The true story stayed between the thrones; Luke told his loved son about Frey, and the story was kept secret in the house of the king."If truly Frey is alive, how can we stop her?" Sir Jim asked."She is very powerful, and I don't think she is stopable," said sir Fredrick."I don't think she's unstoppable; there must be a way," King Alfred said.The other elders looked at themselves and turned to the king to hear what he had to say about the solution to stop Frey."First we are going to banish the witches in the city; Frey might be getting information from them; we will build a wall around the country; there will be a stone given to every citizen's of the country; if you must leave, you will leave the gate with your stone; if you fail to return to the country with the s

Carl has made a boat and is building one to his standard. Arne walked to Carl as he was building the boat."What great work are you doing out here, Carl?" Arne askedCarl took out his sword and pointed it in the direction he heard the voice, not knowing it was Arne."Oh my world, you scared me. You're lucky I didn't cut your head off," Carl exclaimed."Maybe you're lucky," Arne responded."You have pride, Arne, and I thought you were blind. You should be careful how you walk around so you don't get yourself in danger," Carl said.Carl continues hitting the hammer on the nail as he is building his boat."The gods had given me an inner sight; they walk with me, and I have come to give you a message from the gods," Arne said.Carl paused as he heard the message from the gods."Wait, a massage? Carl asked "Yeah, you heard correctly," Arne answered.Arne sat on a big piece of wood, which was cut by Carl."Be careful so you don't fall; it's kind of rough." Carl tells Arne"Can you stop wor

Erik was walking alone with his sword to meet Arne. Along the thin road, he saw a cheetah, a black one. Erik was shocked. He paused and brought out his sword."Ehhh, little one, I don't know how you got here, but it will be wise if you get out of my way," Erik tells the cheetah.The cheetah still stood looking at Erik. Erik was still looking at the cheetah straight to the eye. Erik swung his sword for the cheetah to leave the way. Erik got angry and threw a small stone at the cheetah. The cheetah got angry and ran towards Erik. Erik knew it was not going to be cool on him. He maintained his stand and waited for the cheetah to approach. He did a flip flap over the cheetah and landed at the back of the cheetah. He pierced his sword at the back of the cheetah. The cheetah cried and struggled with Erik over the sword. The cheetah fought with Erik with a little cut the cheetah had on Erik's arm. Erik took out his dagger and cut the cheetah's eck. The cheetah died immediately."Hahahaha, O

It was getting dark; the sun had gone out. Janssen, Martin, and Ina got into the house where Erik was lying down, still sleeping. His wound had already been covered."What happened to him?" Martin asked"He got into a fight with a cheetah; he was cut by the cheetah; the wound was infected but has already been taken care of by Jane, "Janssen answered.Ina went close to Erik and touched his forehead. It was very hot."His head is very hot; his temperature is very high; we need to bring it down," Ina says, worried."Everything is under control; the wound was infected; it had gotten into his body, but with the early treatment, he will be fine," Jane said.Lars walked into the room and saw Martin and Ina."Hey Martin, your father will be okay," Lars said."Where, Carl?" Ina asked"Uhhhhm, I will go look for him now," Martin said."I will go with you," Lars proposed, following his search for his brother Carl."Me too," Ina said.Martin looked at them both."No, I go alone; I will be fine,"

After two days, Erik regained himself completely after being ill. He was sitting with Martin and Carl."What are you talking about, Carl?" Martin asked."I have made up my mind; it is just that I want to go. This is my decision," Carl said.Martin was surprised by Carl saying he wanted to give to England, while Erik wasn't shocked at all; he just kept looking at them argue. Martin wasn't literally arguing to go to England; he was anxious to know what triggered Carl to make the move to England."So when are you ready to leave?" Martin asked."He will go with one of the Viking boats," Erik said."No, no, no, I have my boat already built; I will leave on my own time," Carl said."It is quite disrespectful that you will leave the country without letting dad know; at least that is the reason you are leaving," Martin tells Carl."Oh yeah, I am doing for Father, huh, so what then? Come on, tell me," Carl Sparks out."Is it alright, Martin? Calm down, Carl. We're into this together. You can l

Carl was wearing a trouser, bare body, working on his boat. Arne met him there."You are not done with this little boat of yours," Arne asked."Look who is talking; I have been doing this all alone for days now. You expect me to be as fast as the others were; they had so many helpers," Carl said."Since you decided to build your own rather than taking the Viking boat, that would have been easier," Arne said."Ok fine I will be done a few days from now; I am almost done," Carl says.Arne walked close to the boat and started touching the body of the boat with his hand. He used his hand to know how far Carl had gone with the project."Your still far, boy; you still have a long way to go; you need to find a helping hand; otherwise, you will be on this for a very long time," Arne says, reburst."What are you saying? I am almost done, Arne. I will be done in a few days," Carl calmly said."Whatever, you will be needing this." Arne gave Carl a necklace."What's this, and what for? I don't li

It is very early in the morning, the breeze is very strong, and the cold is very strong. King Erik got up feeling so cold that he covered himself with his big duvet."Oh sh*t, is it morning? What's going on outside?" King Erik said.He was hearing some voices outside. He got up from his bed and went outside to check what the noise was all about. On getting outside, he saw someone kneeling on his knees with blood all over his face."Kill him!Hang him!Burn him!" the people were shouting.King Erik came out and was confused about the noise in the early morning, why the people were shouting to execute someone, and who had been beaten up."Greetings, my king!" Lars greeted"What's going on here?" Erik asked."His a traitor, his a foreigner, from an unknown location, he was caught by the Vikings vigilant group," Lars explains.Erik went close to the foreigner."I am not friendly, but I will ask politely, who are you and where are you from?" Erik asked.The foreigner is black in complexion, v

Carl was done with the boat and was very happy to finally finish his building."This is very beautiful; I am now ready to raid. I love you, baby," Carl joyfully said as he hugged the boat.Carl rushed to Arne's place to let him know he was done with his building. He took his bag with him. On reaching Arne's house, Arne was outside, taking some fresh air, with his dried meat on his left hand, which he was taking slowly to busy his mouth."Wow, old man, are you really having a good time out here?" Carl said."You can join me. It is very tasty, and the meat is wonderful." Arne gives out the meat to Carl.Carl took a piece of the place and chewed it."Hmmmm, who prepared it? This is very good." Carl compliments"Ha ha ha, you haven't heard about it; I am a good cook; with the gods eye, I cook more than those that have sight." Arne brags Carl took a seat and sat down, still putting on a smiling face."What is it, Carl? You're very happy today. I haven't seen you happy for a long time," Ar
