Viking Passion
“The trip did not begin too badly, as they sailed and rowed south on one river to the lake where Holmgard lay, then, a day later, moved southward again on another river. Lenora felt oppressed by the thick, dark forests surrounding them, and lonely in the vast, unpeopled land, but she could bear that so long as they were heading toward Miklagard. Neither she nor her two companions made any protest about the pace Torgard set. The faster they moved, the farther away from Snorri and Sven they would ...be.
Once on their way they quickly dropped the fiction that Lenora was Erik’s sister. She was relieved to have her own name back again.
The trouble began with their first portage.
They paused while the men felled trees, using the trimmed trunks as rollers upon which they dragged Torgard’s two boats for miles across land to the next river. The path through the forest had been cleared by others who traveled that way before them, and they even found a few tree trunks left ready for their use, but it was slow, hard work, made worse by swarms of mosquitoes and the sudden advent of humid heat.MoreLess
