Lagertha Lothbrok

Starter for @iamqueenofkattegat

Iyla senses someone behind her and turns quickly, smiling once she realizes who it is. “Mother! I’m surprised they let you get away. Has anyone come to you with anything interesting today?”

You're surprised they let me get away? I am the Queen of Kattegat. I go where I wish. You are my daughter, a shield maiden of this city and I've held you back. Perhaps because you are my daughter and I can not lose another. *She sat beside her* Gyda's death almost killed me. Yours would. I love you. You are my blood, Lyla. Whether it runs through your veins or not, you are my blood.

She smiles slightly. “Mother, I’m not going to die. Not anytime soon anyway. I can feel it.”

*She didn't know if her daughter heard a word she'd said other than the raid. But Lagertha meant everything she'd said.*

Iyla nods eagerly. “Yes mother.” She pauses, “Who else is coming? Are Bjorn and Torvi? Is Astrid? Where are we going?”

*Her daughter was too eager. It wasn't going to help her in real battle. Placing her hand on her shoulder* Don't be so eager, daughter. It will cause you to slip up in battle and become careless.

Welcome home

Asta knew how to stay hidden, she had been doing it a long time. First it was from her stepfather, and the next it was from her second husband, so how Bjorn managed to find her…She was very curious about that. Asta knew her mother wouldn’t want to go down, not because of the possibility of seeing someone she knew, but because she always refused to travel.

Bjorn was not only untouchable by any blade, he was a brilliant tracker. He'd spent so long in the wild, Lagertha knew her son could find anyone or anything.
