The Test
As
the long boat cut through the thick fog, the dragon's head on the prow seemed to
breathe smoke. Spying the giant Norsemen at the helm, the villagers, mostly
women and children, ran screaming and shouting for the woods. The few men that
were left in the village grabbed what weapons they had and stood their ground.
Waiting for the hand of death from the great white north to strike them down.
The
village did not boast much in the line of riches...but it had something else the
Norseman wanted...needed. It was a beachhead, a landing point to launch their
strike inland. However, there was to be no one to spread the news of their
arrival, no one to escape their capture or doom. The men and older women was to
be killed, the young women to be taken as slaves...
As
the Norsemen cut down the defenders, women and children ran screaming through
the burning village, oblivious to everything but the rank smell of death that
fell at the hand of the Vikings, and the shattered corpses of friends and loved
ones. Young boys were raped and killed to save the sisters innocence for the
slave markets of Turbluna. The raiders made their way through the village
slaying all who stood in their way, and many of those that did not. Herding the
women into a secure position a small group of the Vikings watched in pleasure as
their brothers slew the village men, reaping the seeds of war.
