(Theme song is End Game by Taylor Swift)

Ivar's POV

"We stay here till we are cleared to kill those wretched cunts" I say to my army as they gather around me with hope in their eyes

*Aye* The crowd cheers

"Tomorrow we will attack the English, the church going pigs" I laugh, "We take revenge of the death of MY FATHER Ragnar Lothbrok who was killed by King Alfred's grandfather King Ecbert and we bring back our Queen, Queen Nova!"

*The crowd cheers* 

SKOL!

I raise my glass 

"Will it work? The whole plan of abducting your wife and attacking Alfred, sure England is strong but they do have an alliance with France" Ubbe leans to speak to me

"You are too dumb to be a warrior, brother" I smirk, "When we take our Queen back, the alliance with England will break. Those bastards will be on their own" I say as I drink

"It's not that easy" Hvitserk interrupts

"Then go home you pussy" I say

I can't wait to bring her back, back to where she belongs. With me.

I think about her from time to time, the way those brown eyes drowned into mine. The way those fragile hands fit perfectly into mine. I was a fool to abandon her, I know she wouldn't trust me when I say that I want to take her back to Kattegat. Make her the Queen of England, France and The North.

Make her the Queen of my Heart

I remember her touch and her innocence, I remember because after touching her I never touched anyone else.

She is my weakness, no I cannot think about her now. I will take her away today and burn England tomorrow.

"Will she forgive you?" Astrid comes and sit by my side as she watches me drink

"I don't know" I say as I look at the ground, we sit on an elevated platform where we oversee our army, taking the well deserved rest

"It's been 6 years now" Astrid scoots closer and looks into my eyes

"I am reminded of that everyday" I mutter as I bang the mug on the wooden table and look at the grey skies

Astrid sighs, "Nova maybe a royal woman but she is not weak"

"I don't want to talk about her, I just want to talk to her" I say as I stare at Astrid

(Ivar and Astrid)

"But" Astrid says but I raise my hand for her to stop speaking

"You broke her heart!!" Astrid screams as I dismiss her 

I put my feet up on the wooden stool trying not to think about my weaknesses but rather my strengths, oh how King Albert will grunt when I drag him by a rope in front of his people

The churches I'll burn

and the nights I will finally touch her again 

I take a deep breath and close my eyes....

Nova's POV

I stall Ella, as I see campfire from afar. I am closer than I think I am.

It's them. The Vikings. I see the flags and the activity around the area as I adjust my self on Ella.

My pulse rate shoots up as I have trouble breathing again, my bones quiver as my legs shake

"You have to do this Nova" I talk to myself as Ella, my horse listens meekly

"You are not born courageous" My father said, "Really daddy?" Little Nova asked. "Yes, really my love" My father laughs and kneels, "Courage is gained, just like knowledge" He smiles "You do what you are afraid to do repeatedly, then one day you realize little girl that you aren't afraid anymore" He kissed my forehead

Those words stuck to me like honey since childhood, I shake off the memories and look forward again

"I don't care how scared you are, you have to do this" I close my eyes as feel him in the air

"You are a daughter of a king and a gypsy, for your whole life you wanted to be courageous. Now it is the time" I open my eyes and let out hot air from my lips into the icy winds

I tighten the grip around Ella's reign and say "HA! LET'S GO!"

Narrator's POV

Nova gallops her horse to the entrance of the viking camp where she is spotted as the hooters starts blowing up alerting the camp, the viking army get's ready, up in arms and stand in front of Nova. Ready for confrontation.

Nova tightens her grip on her horse and draws her sword out and waves it in the air

"IVAR! IVAR!" She screams in anger

"NOVA?" Ubbe says as he makes his way through the crowd

"Put your arms down! She is your Queen" Ubbe commands the army and they follow as they watch Nova in complete awe, starstruck by her beauty 

"Where is Ivar?" Nova asks 

"What are you doing here? Don't you care about your life?" Ubbe asks in shock

"No I don't, now I asked where is Ivar?" Nova points her sword towards Ubbe sending jitters and whispers through the crowd

"IVAR IS HERE" A voice says

And it's Ivar's voice.
