The War (II)
Nova's POV
As I dive into the combat against the heathen forces I give every drop of my blood in the battle
But I don't fight only one side
I fight from both the sides
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Narrator's POV
As the war commences both the sides pounces upon each other like beasts
It's The Vikings V/S The English
Alfred V/S Ivar
Brothers V/S Brothers
Love V/S Revenge
Hvitserk falls to the ground dead as Bjorn pierces is lungs with is sword, "I am so sorry brother" Bjorn shivers as he watches his brother die
"MOVE MY SON!" Lagertha screams as she engages in the combat with the English troops
Ivar slays the throat of everyone that comes in his way
As Alfred fights on foot..
There is blood, chaos and dead bodies all around
Lagertha runs towards Bjorn but is intercepted by Nova who puts her sword near her throat
"Whose side are you really on?" Lagertha asks as she looks at Nova, who is on her horse
"Not on your's atleast" Nova smirks with her bloodied face as she attacks Lagertha
Lagertha falls to the ground and begins to crawl as she break her ribs
"Queen Aslaug didn't deserve to die" Nova says as she circles around Lagertha on her horse
"There are many things one doesn't... des...deserve" Lagertha says as she looks at her
"Who are you to say who deserves what?" Nova says as she fixes an arrow on her bow
"You are fighting from Alfred's side, you are on our side" Lagertha says as she looks around for help
But all she sees is amputated bodies and war
As swords clinks and blood splatter
"The day I saw you, in that room. I made up my mind of how I'll kill you" Nova says as she pulls back her arrow and points it towards Lagertha
"I hope you rot" Lagertha say and as words leave her mouth Nova shoots her arrow which hits Lagertha in the middle of her forehead and she dies
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ivar's POV
"Our father wouldn't have wanted any of this" Bjorn says as he & I point our swords towards each other
I scoff
"Ivar we needn't fight like this, we are brothers!" Bjorn pleads
"For all I know, You lost that title when you decided to support Lagertha who killed my mother, and Alfred who killed my father!!!" I shout
"And My Nova!!!" I scream loudly
"Listen brother, everything has been a big misunderstanding" Bjorn says
"WE GREW UP TOGETHER, WE SHARE THE SAME BLOOD!" Bjorn howls
"True" I say as I keep my sword back
I bow my head down and turn back
"What are we fighting for Ivar?" Bjorn as sweetly as he comes closer to me
I say nothing as he keeps his sword back and walks closer to me
"Her" I say as I take my sword out, turn around and slash the head off my brother's body
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Narrator's POV
Alfred falls to the ground as Ubbe points his sword at him
"You filthy Christian Bastard" Ubbe says
"I don't fear you" Alfred says with anger in his eyes
"Well you should" Ubbe laughs
As Ubbe charges towards Alfred, Nova's horse intercepts him and Ubbe falls onto the ground
Nova's shoots her arrows and puntures both of Ubbe's legs as he howls in pain
She dismounts from the horse and helps Alfred to get up
"How are you here?" Alfred asks as he looks at Nova in disbelief
"Just be thankful that I am here" She says as she takes a rope and ties Ubbe legs with it
"You all had real pleasure in torturing innocent people, now look how the tables will turn" Nova says to screaming Ubbe as she takes the other end of the rope and mounts her horse, all covered in blood and dust
"I am so sorry, Nova" Alfred says
"Save it" Nova says as she drags Ubbe by his legs around the battlefield while she fights
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nova's POV
A hit from somewhere thrusts me forward as I fall of from the horse and onto the ground
I look back at dead Ubbe's body all peeled by stones on ground as I laugh
As I lie on my back, unable to move
For a while I lay there, numb, as blood flows from the back of my ear to my neck
I try to move but I can't
I am static
As the fighting around me continues, I move my face to the right and all I see is severed limbs, headless bodies and pools of blood
I close my eyes and say a little prayer
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ivar's POV
"Where is she?" I say to myself as I look around but I don't see anybody
None of my brothers
Lagertha
Alfred
Nova.. My Nova
As my eyes search for her
But I continue fighting, as her thoughts distract me from my purpose
I pray to Odin that she is alive and well
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nova's POV
"Get up!!!" A woman shakes me as I open my eyes
Every inch of my body hurts
"You are not done yet" The woman says, "It's not the end" She shakes me and I recognize her
She is the same old woman who came to my chamber to warn me about Ivar's wrath
"Didn't you die?" I ask as I wake up
She doesn't answer me but she takes out a red bottle and hands it to me
"Drink it and you shall get your strength and energy back" She says
"No" I protest
"Nova, Please!" She begs
I snatch the bottle from her hands and gulp it down, knowing that either way I will die
"Oh the power it brings
The heart it breaks
Your bones will shake
But your tears will dry" The old woman chants as I get up a little
This is miraculous. I can already feel myself gaining back my strength
As I turn to thank her an arrow pierces her throat as she falls to the ground
"Run, Chestnut tree" She says as I panic
"Go" She says as she dies
I immediately get back on my feet, bleeding profusely and look around for a chestnut tree
And there a little far away I see a lone chestnut tree at the beginning of a forest and I sprint towards it
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ivar's POV
And then I see her sprinting towards a forest
I don't even think twice before following her
As I tighten the reins of my horse and go after her
Like a mad dog, I am....
