I use to love the water. Sailing in the ocean, with only the sky and the stars guiding me. But now, it feels as if i am being pushed around. Other ship's waves are hitting me from every angle. As i close my eyes, it's as if i can see Bjorn and Halfdan sailing in the opposite direction as me. Good. I can not face Halfdan anytime soon. I am a wreck, confused on what my emotions are telling me and also i am starving.

Harald on the other hand. I want to kill him. I want to take all my anger out on him. Chop off his head and feed it to the dogs. By the time I am done with him, wou won't be able to tell what end is his head and which is his ass.

Harald should be traveling back from England. No doubt he wil stop by Kattegat to see if Egil actually accomplished what he said he would do, but mostly to see If I was dead. Oh Harald, you call yourself a man, and yet you run around fetching others things like a trained animal.

As the days past, I finally make it to his homeland, and i am disgusted by it. Giant bones lay everywhere and the smell of rotten flesh fils my nose. People at the docks stop what they are doing and look towards my boat. My hood over my head concealing my face from them. As I get closer, two men pull my boat in and help me get out. A lady and a man stand on the edge with a sword on their side and a shield on their back.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?", the lady asked. I pull off my hood, my brown hair falls out flowing in the wind. My black eyeshadow has smudged a lot, but i dint give a shit.

"I am Alca Ulvardottir." The two of them grab their swords and their shields, getting in defense mode. Everyone has stepped back to the edge of the dock. "Alca Midgard Serpent is a myth to scare little children. Why do you come here claiming that to be your name?" Annoyed with the two of them i walk closer and they take steps backwards. Cowards.

"Because i wouldn't be living up to my own story if I didn't. I am here waiting for King Harald's return, will be lead me to the his throne, or will i have to find it myself?" They place their swords down , still very skeptical of me and I don't blame them. They push people out of the way, people starring at me wondering if I am who i say i am. The grand hall is differently better than the rest of place, but it reeks of men who just want to have sex. The two open the doors letting me walk in front of them. Everything is silent, as i walk straight to the throne. I touch the arm of the chair and walk around it. I then sit straight down, smirk appearing on my face looking out towards everyone. The woman comes closer to me, really angry now.

"You can not sit there! You are not our King!" I sigh, now slinging my legs over one arm of the chair and back against the other. "Oh trust me, I don't want to be Queen of this Damn nation. I didn't even want to be Queen of my own, but until Harald comes back i claim myself here, unless you have something else to say."

None of the men speak, surprised i even made a stand against them. The lady didn't say anything else, but turned away, storming off. Now Harald, where are you? We have a lot to discuss.

My brother left me for Bjorn Ironsides, my Nephew decided to stay with Ivar, and egil failed to get Kattegat and kill Alca. Now i am stuck in this prison and sure as Hell, I am getting out. Lagertha just denied being my queen and yet she still had sex with me. Woman keep getting crazier and crazier. I need a queen since mine is now dead. I will take something from Lagertha, since she has taken my freedom, Astrid.

While Astrid will be sweet revenge, i need something more. Someone more gruesome, someone who is fun messing with, and yet that person had to choose my brother over me, Alca. If possible , I will make you my Queen Alca, and yet titles don't matter to you at all. I loved you since i first saw you, hugging Bjorn Ironsides in the grand hall, but my brother said something first and the way he talked about you, was different from the way he talked about any other women, he truly loved you.

It's time to leave this hell whole. My men come in and break me free. Like i said i still needed my revenge. I wait in the boat, hoping they can hurry this up so we can leave Kattegat. Then they she is struggling to get lose, her mouthed gagged. They throw her in and tie her down, then set sail for home.

As we get farther away from Kattegat, I go to untie her. She struggles and then spits in my face.

"Why kidnap me?" I laugh a little at this "Oh you can help me quite a bit, Lagertha days have numbered here and i will soon rule over Kattegat, but I am still unmarried and need a queen by my side." She then started to laugh, what is being queen something to laugh about?

"You are asking me to be your Queen? I owe Lagertha everything and will not betray her for you." "You have to admit being queen is a good title, how could reject being queen of all of Norway?"She scuts away from thinking of an answer . "I guess Alca did teach me something after all. Titles don't matter, just the Viking you are." I sit down. It always leads back to Alca. Everywhere turn Alca is always there, whether you see her or not. The only time she is not there, is when i tried to kill her

We finally make it home. I jump off the boat and grab Astrid with me. I talk to the man next to me

"Make sure she gets to her room." As a keep walking Gunhild, a faithful shield maiden of mine ,comes running over to me . Great i'm Not in the mood to talk. "My king something happened."

"I am not in the mood to talk right now Gunhild." I keep walking but she keeps following. "My king someone is here and..." "Gunhild this can wait for later, right i just want to ...." I open the grand hall doors, ready to walk to my thrown, but something was there. To be honest, it looked like a bag of bones , but the face was beautiful and so recognizable. Why is she here though.

"Lagertha told me you ran away, I didn't;t think it would be towards me though." I walk closer to her and she doesn't even move from my thrown. It could hers too if she would be queen. "Oh Harald we have many things to discuss." I stand before the step that is before the thrown. " Like what Alca, the reason you are on my thrown, in my country, sitting before me." Her face turns serious now as she swings her legs to the ground and stands up so fast everyone's reaction was to grab their sword and point it at her.

"Oh Harald you and I both know why I am here. I mean you sent a weak man to come and kill me." Great she knew it was me, "and you see i tried so hard to die, but of course i couldn't because I Alca. I do not care if i die, but you hurt someone i loved and now you have to pay."

I hurt someone she loved , who could that be Geir is in England and Halfdan is with Bjorn, unless before we left she slept with Halfdan and that would mean... "You were pregnant weren't you Alca."

She steps down on to the step. Not a smart move because now i am taller than her, but the tense in her voice changed, as if she was actually sad. "I was, but now that child is gone and I am here to escape my problems." "I pretty sure I am one of your problems."

She sits down on the step and I follow, looking at her pretty features, but the circles under her eyes are dark. I keep staring at her and she notices. "What my face paint too smeared for you?" she isn't wearing any face paint. "Why did you come here Alca?"

She breathed out a long breath, "I went to the seer before i left, who told me whatever side i choose, will win the war. What that means i dont know. But I feel as if i should be here right now." She chose my side? "Why did you choose my side?" I hoped she would have said my name, but of mouth came the words that made me feel awful, "Because Halfdan isn't and he always said you need a wing man. It wouldn't be fair to have Lagertha and Bjorn on one side and you by your lonesome."

I am confused now, "how said i was going to be apart of this war?" She turned towards me, her body shifting and she places a hand on my shoulder, "We don't have a choice Harald, this isn't our story we are living in, but the son's of Ragnarand they will call upon any person they can to help them."

"If one side does call upon me Alca, who shall I choose, who would you choose?" She takes her hand off my shoulder and I already miss it. She looks up and now smiles. "For me, I would have chosen Bjorn, he was the only one who believed in me and so was Lagertha..." "but..." "But things have changed, and have given that faith to so many people, so no matter how crazy it sounds i would chose Ivar's side." "Your son is with Ivar now, and he is very mad at you." "Oh I am very well at that, but he will not be the one to kill me, no matter what he thinks."

I stand up now ready to leave and talk to Astrid, "You know Alca, wou would make a great queen beside." Her smile never fades and i couldn't deny the words she said next

"It's too bad I'm already in love with another man."
