Raise your head, you wretched scum? When my Lord returns, you will no longer dare to bark like mad dogs! He will snatch joy and life from your chest, still giving you time to suffer and repent of your ignorance. There is no way to escape the Lord of the Old Mound!

Part 13 of the first chapter of the fourth volume of the TRONDHEIM SAGEN “God Wants It”.

When I look at the sky ravaged by the black smoke towers, my mind rebels. I would like to be elsewhere, flying among the clouds away from the screams, ugliness and the smell of burnt meat. Yet my dedication burns in my chest to follow the King and I would never give up being able to support him in battle!

Nothing makes sense if you don’t set yourself goals! You have to find the right stimulus in order to justify all these horrors and sufferings. Won’t you make me believe that you are satisfied only by the tinkling of the gold collected? There is much more than that and the Warrior Gods will prove it to you!

Roll the drums of war, raise the banners and ring the steels! No one can violate the sacred Arctic soil without becoming a part of it. When the sun goes down, only dead or equal soon will be our enemies and the sky will not be the only part of creation that is dyed red!

Now that you have a throne and people cheer you, do you think you have arrived? Do you think you can drop your sword and walk with your head held high between reverential looks? You are wrong! Now is the time to hold on to weapons and defend what you have achieved or the cowards will bury you under a shrub within the forest!
