There they were. face to face after 10 years apart.

"Alca, I am so glad you were able to make it." "I wouldn't miss this for the world Halfdan. To travel and sail farther than Ragnar has, who wouldn't want to go?" The two laughed and starred into each others eyes. "I missed you Alca, these tens years have been lonely." The smile disappeared from her face.

"I did not tell you to wait for me Halfdan. You can sex with anyone you want." He smirked at her. "Oh trust me I did." Alca did not care about this fact. He was not her and she was not his, but Alca would never have sex with another man. She only wanted to be Halfdan and she hoped he wanted to be with her. "I am glad you were able to have an enjoyable time while I was away." "Who said I enjoyed it?" He started to lean in and a fierce glare came into his eyes. It looked like lust.

"I need to talk to Lagertha, I will see you later." She cut him off. Why couldn't she kiss him, it felt wrong. Probably the fact that she was hiding his son from him. That didn't matter now, if they were destined to be together, then the gods will let it happen. Halfdan looked at her as she walked away, upset that she rejected her and curious as to why. Playing hard to get was always her thing.

"Alca, what a surprise that you are here." "Lagertha, I was looking for you." they hugged each other. Alca has missed her so much, she was like a mother she never had, her own hated her. "And I you?" "What does that mean."

"There has been a young boy running around here and he looks oddly familiar." She smiled and looked at Alca. Alca couldn't help but smile back. "That is why I am here, I need you to look after him while I am gone. I trust you with my life, so I trust you with his." "Have you told Halfdan?"

"I don't know what to say to him, he has already missed 10 years of his life, I don't think he wants to be apart of it now." "Oh sweet serpent, he will want to be apart of it, for the fact that he is not only his son, but yours. I will look after while you are gone, what his name." Lagertha looks to see the child talking to the older men, probably telling him stories about the gods. "Geir."

Lagertha turns back to her confused. "A man with a spear." "Yes, before I left I saw the seer and he told me of a boy on the battlefield, fighting for the gods using a spear. I knew he was talking about my son and so I named him Geir." "May the gods be with geir then."

"May they be indeed." With that alca walks over to the boy and grabs him by the hand. Geir knows not to call him mother incase people were listening. "Alca where are we going?" "To bed, we will have to be up early tomorrow." And so the two left and went to her cabin. There out in front stood Halfdan. "Geir go inside the cabin now." Halfdan looked at the boy walk in and turned back to Alca.

"isn't he a little too young." "That is not what this is, I am taking care of him." "So he is your care, you are clearly not doing a good job." "I haven't done anything wrong. He is alive, uninjured. I am doing fine." He walked closer to her. "That boy came running into great hall, alone, and ran straight into me. Could have killed him if I wanted to."

She stepped back from him. "You met him already." "Yes, why are you so concerned about this?" "Nothing Halfdan, I will see you tomorrow." She walked by him and into the cabin closing the door. She slammed her head into the door. When did her life become so messed up. "Mom?"

"Geir get to bed." "Was that him, was that my father?" She nods her head and a tear leaves her eye "I won't tell him I'm his son, but why don't you want him to know." "Because I love him too much to ruin him." "let's go to bed mom." She smiled yes lets go

The boats were being backed and everyone was saying their goodbyes. There on the shore stood Geir, lagertha, and Alca.

"Geir be good for Lagertha. No disobeying her." "Yes Alca." "Alca he is in good hands, go and live your life." she looked back down at him. "I love you my boy." She squatted and they hugged each other. He whispered in her ear, "I love you too mother." she got up and walked away.

There she saw Bjorn and Torvi. "Alca are you ready." " Bjorn, I was born for this." The two of them walked to the boat together. On the boat was Harald and Halfdan. They both starred at her. "Go talk to him, he has been starring nonstop since last night." "I don't respond to lust Bjorn, more like desire." They laughed and got onto the boat.

"King Harald, what an honor to see you." "Alca, always great for the gods to allow us to meet. Is it me or have you gotten shorter." She raised an eyebrow. "That was brave of you to say. I may not fight anymore, but i still know how to make people suffer." This turned Harald on. If he could she would be his, but he has his own queen and his brother has already claimed her.

"Halfdan." "Alca, you look excited to be here." "How could i not be Halfdan, I'm suppose to be cursed and yet I feel as if I have been blessed." Bjorn came up behind her. "We are leaving now." Alca walked to the edge of the boat to see Geir waving at her, she waved back, not knowing Halfdan was watching them.

"Brother, who is that she is waving at?" Halfdan looks at Harald. " I don't know Harald." he pats Halfdan's back. "Who knows it could be her son." herald laughs only joking with him, but Halfdan actually might think that's true.

Weeks past and Alca has tried to stay away from Halfdan, but the urge to be next to him is strong. she puts her arm over the side of the boat trying to touch the water.

"you are still fascinated with the water, I see." she turned to see Halfdan standing there. He sat down next to her. "You have been avoiding me why?" "How am I suppose to act after not seeing each other for 10 year. I love you Halfdan and I will never love anyone else, but that doesn't mean you can't."

"Alca, I may sleep with other women, but you are the only one I love." He kissed her there, it was short, but it was what was needed. She separated and smiled. Then a horn was sound and the boats started to stop. They were there in Paris and across was The kings Army. Alca stood

"Great, this is going to be harder then I thought."

A group of them were brought to the king. Alca stood in the back behind Harald, Halfdan, and Bjorn, being unseen by Rollo. Bjorn hands him a map and he takes it and then he tells the guards to take them away.

"You are a pathetic king." The guards stopped and Rollo turned around. Alca came out from behind the men. Rollo's eyes widened. "Leave us!" The guards took everyone out, leaving only Alca. Halfdan struggled against them but he could not get loose. There stood Alca alone. "So The snake has come back to paris."

"I have unfinished business here." Rollo's was surprised once against. "You speak this language?" "I am not dumb Rollo, I learned it from hearing you yell so much." The guards pointed their swords at her because of her disrespect. She only smirked.

"so you are her, the Midgard serpent." "Even you have heard of me, guess I am as famous as I thought. Why am I here Rollo?" "I won't lie to you, I want to kill you, but not this way, I want a duel." "Husband, no, she will not duel." This shocked the both of them.

"She is right, I have given up my ways of fighting for I can the emotions of a real human." Giselle stood up. " You are even stronger then you appear. I have done research on you, You didn't just give up your way of fighting, but you did for a reason." she walked closer to her. "Wife, don't get close to her."

"You love someone, an emotion of an human. And by the looks of it you gave given birth to a child, and incredibly hard act to do. You are truly Viking." Alca didn't say anything and Rollo only looked at Alca. "You have a child." She only stood there. "ANSWER ME!"

"Yes, but no one knows of him. I have kept him a secret for 10 years so if you don't mind I'm trying to make it 11." "Take her away." The guards lead her to where the others are. They throw her in there gently, must be because of the Queen.

"Alca are you alright?" "I am fine, Halfdan, I am fine." "What happened up there?" asked Harald. "I don't now, I really don't."

Back to rollo. "How did you know that about her?" "Women have a sense of knowing these things. What are you thinking Husband." "That women has a son. the world must be ending." "You really don't get it Rollo, Even in her weaker stage, she is still stronger than all of us combined. Remember that day I said i wanted to meet her, well now I have and I am not disappointed. I want to be just like her and learn to fight. "

"Who knows maybe she will join us."
