Chapter 3 Things Change in Kattegat

Ragnar pulled out his Sword of Kings, "You all know how this works! If you want to be King, you must kill me!" He tried to ask one man to take it, but he refused. "No one? Really?" This made Ragnar plunged it into the ground, "Who wants to be king?!"

Ragnar taunts Ubbe and daring him to become a man by killing Ragnar. Ubbe steps forward and hugged his father.

Ellie lowered her sword and relaxes her stance.

Bjorn came forward and looks at his father. Yet his question told him, "Why did you come back?"

Bjorn told Ragnar the news he heard from the West.

"It would appear you have another son."

Danielle coughs to hide her laugh at that rumor. It could be true about this so-called son of Ragnar, but she recalls the Queen Kwenthrith was a rather loose woman. Her son could be anyone's child since she has paraded herself as a powerful queen.

It seems that Ragnar agrees with her as he laughs.

"His name is Magnus." Bjorn continues, "His mother is Queen Kwenthrith and he lives in King Ecbert's villa in Wessex."

"Ah, who told you that? A warrior who was fighting in Wessex." Ragnar told his son. It's not a yes or no answer, but there are some who believed it.

"And he was the one who told you about the settlement.

"I came back," Ragnar groans and sighs, "I came back because I wanted to see what has become of my sons."

Danielle looked at Ragnar's appearance and she saw how tired he is and exhausted from his pilgrim.

"What are you really here?" She bluntly question Ragnar.

Ragnar laughs and nodded, "As always, you don't hold anything back."

Ragnar stood and look at his sons.

"I'm going to England. And I thought that you all might want to join me."

Ragnar asked his sons, "What do you say, Hvitserk? Ubbe? No. Sigurd? I can see in your eyes that your answer is also no, Bjorn."

Bjorn shows the map and hopes to go there, "This is why. This is part of a map of the Roman Empire. I found it in Paris. In this map is the Mediterranean Sea. And around that sea are many wonderful people and places and towns." Bjorn pointed few locations on the map.

Bjorn exhales his breath, "I want to go there! So How far along are you with your plans? Floki is building the boats. Hvitserk has agreed to come with me as well as King Harald and his brother. Danielle also, wished to come as well. She said it would be a good trade for Kattegat." Ragnar nodded and laughs at Ellie thought of making his home more prosper.

"What about you two? Why are you not going with your brother? Kattegat has changed since you went away." Ragnar question Ubbe and Sigurd.

Sigurd tells his father, "It is a major trading center in the region. And many other kings we know regard it with envy."

Ubbe told him, "We want to stay and protect our mother." Ragnar is disappointed that none of his sons are going with him. Yet he understands that he missed the years of his sons when he disappears from their lives.

Ragnar stood and said, "You are right to think of family."

The location is Danielle house that looks like Replica Viking house"L'Anse Aux Meadows National Historic Site

Danielle is with Bjorn to examine his map. She checks every other book that she got from the raid of England. Her books are scattered and opened for her to see if there is a route to enter there.

"I'm sorry, but sadly these books from Saxons don't have many directions on how to get in." Danielle holds one book in her hand while she keeps looking back from map to book in her hand.

Bjorn sighs, "There must be a way." He paced himself back and forth.

"Unless, we can go back to Paris and tried to convince them to let us go." She throws in her suggestions.

Bjorn, "No! Never again!" Bjorn refused not only because it was placed where Ragnar failed, but his uncle Rollo is a traitor and kills his own people.

"Not unless you wanted to go and see the rest of the world. Bjorn, we have no choice to go back, but to beg your uncle to let us pass!" Ellie told him that this is the only way!

"Ugh! You are asking me to go and ask… No! To beg if he could let us go pass his region to the Mediterranean Sea!"

Danielle sighs, "Then what can we hope to sail there?"

Bjorn sat down with a thud and rubbed his face with his hands. He breathes heavily and slight nodded.

"Okay."

Ellie look at him confused, but answered, "Just okay?"

Bjorn sighs, "I will do what you asked."

Danielle walked towards and knelt before him. She took one of his hands into hers with gently gesture.

It's matter of time when the sons of Ragnar and Danielle will ever see Ragnar alive again.

Okay, sorry that if it takes so long but here it is! Reviews and comments are welcome. Don't worry there's more to come.
