She had hoped to find Freia on the farm and not poor Rina who wasn’t old enough yet to understand the troubles of being married. Of course Rina didn’t know all of that, but she could tell the woman was scared.īrynja held back her tears as well as she could. She was married to Erik Fairstead, a local drunk who’d not been able to hold an employment for years. Why are you crying, Brynja?” Rina asked the fair maiden who’s name was Brynja Fairstead. “Mother is with the cattle behind the farm.
“Hello, is your mother home?” The frightened woman asked Rina as she passed by the front of the farm doing her chores. She was wet and her clothes soaked through from the rain. And Ragnwald needed a castle to be King.Ī young woman with hair as red as a firepit turned up at the Bjørna’s farm. A castle would not build itself, that was. The few villagers went out from their huts to meet at the Construction of the Great hall. Ragnwald should be leaving soon for the construction side but somehow he felt connected to Brynja and wished he could stay sometime longer. Neither did Brynja whom had walked hours through the rain last night to seek out Freia’s help. He could tolerate no such thing in his village but lucky for Erik Fairstead, he didn’t live there. The man who would do this to his very own wife mustn’t be right in his mind. Ragnwald had fought against men since he could hold a sword but never had he laid hands on a woman. It’s that scum of housebound of hers! If I get near him with my wooden spoon I’ll show him a thing or two!” Freia mummered as she checked to see if her friend had a fever. Her face may look fine but beneath her gown she’s nothing but bruises and marks. Normally he wouldn’t have been so curious to stop by but it was in the middle of the night and he just had a feeling that something wasn’t right. He’d seen a fire lit up of all sudden through their window from his camp. The place was warm from the fireplace and a smell of dry fur filled the room. “Will she be all right? What happened?” Ragnwald asked Freia as he arrived into the small bedroom.
