A couple of days have passed and Leif has finally arrived. As in the show Leif told some stories to the village kids and caught up with Thors on current happenings.
At night Leif stayed with us. Looking up at the ceiling in my room, I heard them say discussing something.
"I see you've added someone else to your family, mind telling me who he is?"
"A unfortunate child. His parents died fighting a bear, giving him enough time to escape. We found him staying in a cave in the forest. He looked hurt so I asked him if he wanted to stay with us."
"Oh, I see. Well, it's getting late, I ought to get to bed. Goodnight Thors."
"Goodnight Leif."

The next morning started as usual. I went to go fetch some water from the well and started to chop some firewood.
Just any other day or so it seemed. In the afternoon Thorfinn came running through the village trying to find Thors to tell him that a warship was approaching.
After finding Thors in the Blacksmith shop he told him the news. Shortly after, Thors got dressed and headed towards the port. There he saw Loki and his men calling for him.
After getting off the ship, Thors and Loki had the same conversation they had in the show. Thors either heads back to the battlefield for the upcoming war, or the people living here will not have peaceful lives anymore.
After accepting Loki's invitation, Loki and his men headed back to the ship. After giving his speech to the villagers, he and his men set off.
After Loki left, the villagers started loading supplies and gearing up for the upcoming war. They would set off tomorrow morning.
After heading back to the house Thorfinn went to go find a sword so he could head to the battlefield with Thors. After finding the sword and being lectured by Thors, the day quickly passed.
***
In the morning Thors geared up and headed to the port, he said goodbye to Helga and Ylva, they searched for Thorfinn but couldn't find him. They must have thought I went to go fishing because I wasn't at the house.
Setting off, the 5 boys that were heading off with Thors waved goodbye to the villagers.

After about an hour of sailing, we got caught up in the current. It was then that Thorfinn popped out of the barrel he was hiding in. Before Thors could question him, he went to the side of the boat to use the restroom.
What followed after that was a spanking for Thorfinn delivered by Thors. After some laughter, everyone regained focus and continued rowing.
I was starting to feel a little cramped in this barrel but I knew if I appeared know all my planning would be ruined. Night quickly passed.
***
I opened my eyes to look outside the barrel. It was morning, as we continued on our path we came across a rock valley. We had to pass by this a rock valley in order to get to Denmark. The rock valley was tall with each side easily passing the height of our ship's sail.
After about 5 minutes of sailing through the rock valley, we could finally see a village up ahead. As we were getting closer towards the end the sides of the valley began to tremble. Killing our momentum, Thors and everyone else began to go the row back where we came from.
Suddenly, a huge pile of broken wood and other debree came crashing down on our ships. Luckily I could see through the peek hole that no debree was heading for the barrel I was hiding in.
Once the debree stopped falling, some ships came heading right for us. You could hear some shouting coming from them trying to intimidate us. Unfortunately for us it was effective, the only people unaffected were Thors and Leif.
Not only that there were archers on top of the rock valley aiming at us. As the ships got closer, I could see him, the man who played one of the biggest if not the biggest role on season 1, Askeladd.
Stopping a couple meters away from us, Thors went to the chest where he kept his sword and swung it over his back, he also gave Thorfinn a dagger so that he could defend himself.
Before they got the chance to attack, he leaped off the ship, landing right on there ship. As they charged at him, all it took was one punch from him to knock them out. Punch after punch, men kept falling unconscious against the onslaught.
As Thors kept knocking out the attackers, suddenly there was a loud roar. At the end of the ship, Bjorn. Askleadds right hand man consumed a berserker mushroom attacking anyone in sight. After knocking out everyone on the ship, only Thors remained.
As Bjorn charged at Thors, he was just like everyone else, it only took a couple more punches from Thors until he too fell unconscious.
As Thors finished taking out half there forces, he challenged Askleladd to a duel. If he wins they let us go, if they win we all become slaves. But I knew they weren't going to play fair.
As the battle progressed, Thors was pressuring Askelad, after clashing swords for a while, Thors managed to beat Askeladd and disarm him.
After beating him, Askeladd offered Thors his position as leader among his group, I still couldn't tell if he was serious or joking, even while watching the show. After dismissing it as a joke, Bjorn woke up and made his move.
He leaped onto our boat and captured Thorfinn, after threatening Thors and the others, Thors too then threatened them with killing Askeladd.
There was a moment of silence in the air. Thors was the one who broke it up saying how they were after his life, not theirs. After making Askleladd promise to let Thorfinn and them go, he threw his sword in the ocean.
Afterwards, he was pelted with arrows. Thorfinn finally released from Bjorns hold, ran towards his father, kneeling down, sobbing.
