It was a normal day in the castle of Goranson. All the townspeople were tending to their work when an explosion made a loud sound that ran throughout the castle. Townspeople stood there shocked as the castle stood in silence. After the seconds of silence another loud explosion shook the castle followed by arrows flying throughout the castle and vikings screaming as they charge in. Everyone ran to get to safety and the vikings never followed. They only had one mission, to get the king and destroy the castle. When all the noise had stopped and all the screams were silenced the townspeople went to look outside to see that the castle was all burnt down. One farmer had said “Quick find the king”. They all rushed into various buildings only to find the king was not there.

The boat represents the only way of life for the family due to the tradition of it being passed down the family. But the boat can cause disruption throughout the family because it is the center of attention for the family. The author was introduced to the fisherman lifestyle when he was a kid, “when I was very small he took me for my first ride,” (224) which can symbolize the family trying to get the author ready for the future. The mother (whose family passed down the boat) had a strong connection due to growing up with the boat being in her life. The mother put a lot of pressure on the family to stay in the family business and not go elsewhere. When she found out about the daughters leaving, the author said, “she was worried about herself and about her family and her life,” indicating her devotion towards the boat. The daughters were able to find a different path and move away from the boat and so did the son but it wasn't as easy for him. He felt the most pressure being the youngest and the only male in the family next to his father saying, “I would remain with him as long as he lived and we would fish the sea together,” (234) putting the father in a tough spot since he wanted his son to

Viking history and culture have been depicted in many movies, television series, and stories. Vikings are commonly known as barbarians that raid villages and intimidate others with huge ships with dragon heads, and horned helmets. This information is based on facts, but has been distorted and exaggerated over many years and tales. Viking history spans from the years 780 until 1100, which is the time span of the Viking raids. Not every Scandinavian was a Viking; Vikings were known as the men that conducted raids and bloody battles. The old definition of Viking was synonymous with the term pirate. The modern definition is relevant to the Scandinavian medieval culture, to include farming, crafting and trading.

After I had found a tree to be able to sleep in, I sat in the grass staring into the night sky. I wonder where the other Nordics are. I thought. Well, I know where Denmark is now.. Shuddering, I noticed how cold it was at night. Suddenly, a picture appeared in the sky. A picture of Denmark. Slowly, it transitioned to a picture of Belarus. It's showing us who died today. Hungary. Latvia. Estonia. Don't remind me. Getting up, I could faintly make out a small amount of smoke in the far distance. Must be someone will a campfire. While carefully climbing a tree to rest for the night, I heard a canon fire. Whoa, who just died? And how? As I sat up in the tree I checked my surroundings from above. I couldn't see a river

For every ship, one side, there is the drummer. A drumming man has been denoted in the panels as a chief for the ritualistic ceremonies. Most of the ships have on the other hand the sun cross. These ships, therefore, present the entirety of the three realities that were present for the human being in a funeral ceremony. The drummer on one side represents the community that is remaining on earth. This person is depicted as reclining from the ship. While he mourns the death of the departed people, he acknowledges that he is part of that journey. He will, therefore, rejoin the departed ones later. Inside the ship are those who are already dead. These are the people who are in the journey. They are traveling towards the sun. The other side of the boat, therefore, represents the afterlife through the sun cross. The ship this presents a funeral as a connection between the death and the living, all in transit to the sun

"You understand your orders, Sergeant?" Lieutenant Vorne asked. He was an exceptional commander, though he'd been talking about retirement more and more lately. The man was getting up there in years. He'd finally given up on his thinning hairline last year and shaved his head; the hair never grew back.
