Realistic or Modern Age of Vikings (Always Accepting!)

Astrid stretched, wriggling her toes as she did, sighing a little as she finished stretching. Her brown eyes wondering up Magnus' body to take a peak at his face, a grin on hers that she hid with the fur that now covered her. "Why do you want to be Earl?" She finally broke the silence between them. She watched his face, as she lay on her stomach, her hands supporting her chin.

"At first, I wanted to do it because I wanted to impress you...or maybe even distract myself from you being with Agnar." He admitted, only glancing at Astrid. "But now, it just want the best for us." Magnus reached out to her, his finger playing with a reddish strand of her hair. He was getting tired, his eyes felt heavy. "What if he wants you back?" Magnus suddenly asked, referring to Agnar.

<p>She frowned at him, "why would being an Earl impress me?" She thought for a moment, "ooh..." she looked down at her hands, "originally I thought what would my family want" she shrugged, playing with a tuft of fur on the pelt under her as she spoke. "Would you let me leave?" She asked, a smile played at the corner of her lips. </p>

"Maybe if I was dead." Magnus replied with a wink. He grabbed a bearskin pelt, not unlike the one he had at his old shack in Egersund and pulled it up to his neck, feeling the warmth almost instantly creep up his body. "These next few weeks are going to be some of the most dangerous. There are people in this town that don't support me, and may be willing to kill me."

Her stomach sank a little, she didn't want to lose him, not when she had just gone through so much to be with him. "What do you plan on doing about them?" She spoke, her voice a little shakey. She lifted his arm, scooting closer to rest her head on his chest, being cautious of his shoulder.

"To either kill them or get them killed." Magnus mumbled, fixing his eyes back on the ceiling. "It's surprising how much people will accept me just because I have a fancy knife." Magnus said with a chuckle. "I really owe that Slav." The Swede ran his fingers through Astrid's hair with a sigh. "Agnar may come with his army as well..."

After a few hours of sleep, Aron had awoken with Azura still on top of him, the waters had began to shift as he felt the ship moving. He groggily crawled up and grabbed his compass, squinting at the metal. They had gone slightly off course, Aron let out a rough cough as he went to grab a cup and go to the water jug, filling it up as he wandered over to the steer. He sat down by it with his water, his eyes half lidded as he slowly turned the ship back into direction. Sailing and liquor did not mix well for him, his stomach rumbling and his head pounding from their recent hours. This was going to be a journey.

She turned placing her lips on the side of his chest, "why is death always the answer?" She mumbled, the heat from his skin warmed her lips. She tilted her head so her cheek rested on him, "does it not scare you?" She spoke quietly, looking up at him with wide eyes.

Azura awoke to movement from under her and a pounding headache, and this time, besides a slight hangover, she was a bit happy waking up. Azura groaned as she felt Aron get up, she rubbed her eyes, yawning and sat up. She looked as Aron took the wheel, looking exusted. "How long till we reach England?" Azura asked with straight curiosity.


@northguy

 

[northguy]

Aron let out a short cough before chugging down the rest of the water, clearing his throat and hydrating him, casually taking another full cup. "Shouldn't be long now, got to remember. I've never sailed to England." He chuckled as he sailed them westward, letting out a long yawn, "Do you got somewhere we can stay when we arrive or will we be camping?" He asked as he looked back over to her, giving a smile.


@DarknessSpirit

 

[John Raptorfist]

"It is what must be done." Magnus sighed, feeling Astrid's lips on him. She then asked if he feared death. Magnus thought on that for a moment. He had always viewed death as something that just kind of happened. "No. Death happens to us all at sometime, it is inevitable. Why spend your time worrying over something you can't stop?"


@Sharkiee

 

[Sharkiee]

She shrugged, "I guess I'm not as wise as you are" she sighed, Astrid closed her eyes, listening and feeling the rise and fall of his chest. "What if they get me?" She asked her eyes still closed, "what if they use me to get to you?" She rested against him, her mind wondering.


@John Raptorfist

 

[John Raptorfist]

Magnus chuckled at Astrid's comment, his chest rising and falling as he did. "I am not wise, Astrid, just practical." The swede yawned, still staring at the ceiling. "If they use you? I'd give myself up gladly to them so you may be free." He said in almost a whispered, his eyes falling back down to Astrid's resting form.


@Sharkiee

 

[Sharkiee]

"Don't do that" she mumbled, slowly falling asleep, the heat from his body warming her. She didn't want anyone to get hurt because of her, not again, like Azura had said, the words rang around in her head. "I don't want you to die because of me"


@John Raptorfist

 

[John Raptorfist]

"No need in worrying about that." He mumbled, feeling her soft breath on him. Magnus felt extremely tired, his eyelids like lead. He put his arm around Astrid's back with a small sigh. "I love you, Astrid. I'm glad the gods have given me you." The swede said quietly as Astrid fell asleep.


@Sharkiee

 

[Ms. Sparrow]

Azura looked up at the sky in thought, she hadn't been to her home since she had been taken from it when her family was killed. She smiled back at Aron "Don't worry I have a place." Azura, turned looking at the water flowing by the ship.

Astrid smiled, his sweet words making her feel giddy, "the gods gave me you" she teased, poking a finger into his side. Snuggling closer, her eyes still closed, she couldn't help but yawn. "I love you" she sighed.

Magnus finally closed his pale blue eyes as he drifted off into sleep. The feeling of Astrid by his side somewhat comforted him, her body on his, the warmth of each other. Magnus's entire body ached from his injuries, but he didn't mind. Astrid was finally with him and he'd be earl within the week if all went smoothly.
