Viking Raid
“"I am alive then?" "You were lucky, Jarl. The bone in your shoulder stopped it going all the way through but you will not hold a shield for a while." "And the raiders?" "They were driven back to their ships. They left many dead." "Our losses?" He shook his head. "They killed eight of the Duke's men and we had wounds but all walk and talk! We gained much treasure from the dead. Your treasure from Kolbjorn the Slighter was placed aboard 'Heart'." "They are returned then?" "They are tied up to ...the wharf." "What of Magnus and the other two?" "They escaped. Neither drekar had a full crew. They left thirty dead and wounded behind. All are now in Valhalla." I tried to rise. "Lay there, Jarl. I am under orders from the Duke to make you rest until the morrow." I lay down again. It was too difficult to move anyway. Aiden had used honey to seal the wound and help the healing process and then bound it with a tightly wound bandage. I could feel the ends of the bones grinding together. This would be a wound I would remember all of my life. It was the kind of wound which, even when healed, ached in cold weather.MoreLess
