A Nightly Encounter

“Brant... it’s been far too long. I still don’t know if we’ll ever bump into each other again,” Lagertha said. Even if they crossed paths with each other after an entire year, she would see him as a completely distinct person.

Unlike last time, where Brant would question every single thing that comes to his mind, he now knows how to fight with the sword and live by it. Truly, his father would be proud to see him in action, only if he were still alive and strong enough to see his son. But Brant did not need to go through the pain as much as Lagertha did when she left her family home. During this time, Lagertha pulled out her longsword and held onto it to defend herself against any creature. It would be a long night for her, but the nights would last much longer because of how much she pushed onward.
