Guth the Father, before he could rejoice, a horde of Viking soldiers rushed in and killed his wife, he successfully ran out of the house with his new-born baby. He named the baby, “Edwind” and decided to reside in a village in Hambrian monarchate, a kingdom of the Hambrias in the Northeastern.*
*And when he was lulling his baby to sleep in the house, one of his men entered the room and went:
Random Soldier
My lord Guth, there are some Hambrian men standing outside, they probably want to meet you.
*It turns out that Guth Guthenarson was an nobleman, he fled out of his land and lost it from the Vikings. Then he stood up and said:
Guth Guthenarson
What! Uhmm, bring me the blade
Random Soldier
Yes, here you go, my lord!
Guth Guthenarson
Oh hi, who are you guys?
?
Hi, I'm here to announce you that king Sigmund summoned you to the hall of the Kraftigbygd palace.
*Then he wondered: "What, I don't even know who is king Sigmund, perhaps I have to seek for help".*
Guth Guthenarson
Ah ok, but I don't know where's the palace, can you lead me there?
?
Fine, but don't take your men with!
*Guth reluctantly agreed, then set out with those soldiers*
?
Sigmund, your Majesty, here's nobleman Guth!
*He pushed Guth to the king, then the king made a speech:
Sigmund Bjørnson

Guth Guthenarson
Ohh, your Majesty, king Sigmund!
Sigmund Bjørnson
Do you know why I summoned you here?
Guth Guthenarson
That's my wondering, my king.
Sigmund Bjørnson

Guth Guthenarson
What's that, your Majesty?
Sigmund Bjørnson

Guth Guthenarson

Sigmund Bjørnson
And that's the reason I summoned you, I want you to be one of my chancelleries, lead my men, defeat the Vikings.
Guth Guthenarson
Why is it me? I'm just a 23 years old boy.
Sigmund Bjørnson
Stop pretending to be a boy, my man, I've heard about your accomplishments when you were still in your land, Håkon's land. And I know, it's rare to witness a young man with those accomplishments. So I desire you to help me do this, otherwise, you will be expelled of my land.
*Guth was a little scared and nervous, but for his son, for his future, for his nation, he agreed.*
Guth Guthenarson

Episode II: Edwind's first words
*As the story goes, 2 days ago, a horde of Vikings raided a village near the palace. Guth was assigned to lead his 20-man army to stop those Vikings*.
Enemy (ies)
Such wealthy this village is! Let's go, there's a village not so far for us!
*Meanwhile on Guth's side:
Random Soldier
Guth, what should we do now?
*Guth whispered into the soldier's ear:
Guth Guthenarson
@##₫&@&@#₫@@₫#@@₫!??!@?#...
*Then the soldier rushed to other 19 soldiers in the rank*
*The Vikings were at the last place of the raided village, they were finding last valuable things, when they were finding, two spears pinned to the backs of a Viking, he fell down and lost his breath*
*Then three more Vikings got pinned and became dead*
Enemy (ies)
Who? Who are doing this?
*In a villager's house a small army rushed out*
Crowds
RAAAAHAHAHAHAH.....!!!!
Guth Guthenarson
Forward, men, forward!!
*For Óðinn, the Vikings weren't afraid of them but withdrew their blades and fought 'til death the Hambrians*
Guth Guthenarson
They don't have shields, the advantage is ours!
Enemy (ies)
Knulla! We are lost, retreat, my men, retreat!
Guth Guthenarson
... Hail the Victory!
Crowds
Victory is ours! ×7
*Guth was successful to retake all properties for the villagers, they were praising Guth as a Hero*
*But the king do not appreciate this, because it's just a small fight, not a battle, and not a war*
Sigmund Bjørnson
But also, you have done everything is good to you
Sigmund Bjørnson
so, you can rest now.
*After that small fight, everything was stable for 4 months, but in the Winter of 1040*
*Two days ago*
Random Soldier
Where are we going? Your Highness, my Sigmund?
Sigmund Bjørnson
We have to go, we are going to ally with another state to join us and fight against the Heathens
*Meanwhile two days later, at Sjúrð port, three ships contain 120 vikings landed*
*On Guth's side, his army was now more than 5 times before, he standed in strategy room and went:
Guth Guthenarson
Now when the Vikings land here, direct fight may make us lost, spread sharp spikes around the ground of the port, when they come, we raise it on, they will be surprised and all will be dead, and when they pa......
*Guth and strategists heard the scream outside, he rushed out. He had sent his baby to a lady of the village to help him raise, but now, his son is in danger because of the raid*
Guth Guthenarson
Soldiers, soldiers! Let's rally, quickly!
Random Soldier
What's our tactic, my chancellery?
Guth Guthenarson
Form an arrow army formation, the Vikings usually go sporadically, without formation.
Random Soldier
All right, my chancellery!
Enemy (ies)
This's seem easier to us, right?
*When the Vikings were raping and raiding, a human arrow pushed forward and slayed a dozen Vikings, the Vikings became raging:
Enemy (ies)
Knulla! Kill all these beetchs
Guth Guthenarson
Protect 'til death, my men! Christ bless you!
*Some of Guth's men was stabbed, slashed and fell down, but they couldn't stop the strike of the Hambrians*
Guth Guthenarson
Ar...rrrhhh, I'm slashed!
*While fighting, Guth was slashed into the hand by a hostile soldier, he irritatingly killed that one and shouted:
Guth Guthenarson
VICTORY IS OURSSSS!!!!!
Enemy (ies)
Retreat, Retreat!
*The Vikings returned to longships and planned to flee, Guth commanded his men shoot burning arrow to the Vikings. The Vikings' ships burned and two of them were banished to the sea, the Guth's men caught some and took on the ground*.
Guth Guthenarson
Take these Vikings to king Sigmund
Sigmund Bjørnson
Who are these men?
Guth Guthenarson
Your Majesty, they tried to invade and raided our country
Guth Guthenarson
All of their ships burned and here is the rest of their soldiers
Sigmund Bjørnson
Well done! My newbie, you are supposed to have a reward tonight, stay here until the feast starts!
*Maybe you the readers are wondering why is king Sigmund here while he was on a trip to alliance, because he was home. Return to King Sigmund 2 days ago*.
Sigmund Bjørnson
We are standing in front of Cathergard stronghold
*The king then knocked the gate, four soldiers opened it and asked some questions:
Sigmund Bjørnson
I'm Sigmund the Second Bjørnson, I'm here and have something to speak to your Jarl
Kaglus the Jarl
Oh, king Sigmund, I know you, king of the Hambrian monarchate and will be united in the future hahahaha,..😂!
Sigmund Bjørnson
My man, I come here....
Kaglus the Jarl
Your came here for what?
Sigmund Bjørnson
You see, since the year of 974CE, the Vikings were and are devastating our nation from North to South, from West to East, as a king, I don't want to see my people suffer for that...
*Kaglus the walked around Sigmund and went:
Kaglus the Jarl
You know what? My Cathergard has not been disturbed for 50 years to now, my people are happy and loaded, my army is healthy, I don't want them to join any fight again......
Sigmund Bjørnson
I don't want to be here and come home in vai...
Kaglus the Jarl
So you came here in vain, I don't want allegiance, goodbye. Farewell to the guests!
*Then the soldiers led Sigmund out of the stronghold and he came home in vain*
Sigmund Bjørnson
Urhh..mm urhmmm....,.. Fine!
Guth Guthenarson
My baby, you are still fine, thank God! My lord! Edwind, let's me find something to feed you.
*Guth grabbed a bowl of porridge and fed the baby*
Edwind Guthenarson
Daddy, where are ya goin'?
Guth Guthenarson

Edwind Guthenarson

Sigmund Bjørnson
And here, are my heart, and my gratitude for him, my gratitude is worthier than gold and silver. My chancellery, just take them.
*Sigmund gave a large chest to Guth, inside it is a world of gold and coins*.
Episode III: The first lesson
Guth Guthenarson
Thank you, my king.
*Sigmund then bent down a little bit in front of Edwind the Boy and went:
Sigmund Bjørnson
You must be as victorious as your father, he's great, and if it's enable, be greater than him.
Edwind Guthenarson
What does "victorious" mean, Sigmund?
*Sigmund then smiled lightly and said:
Sigmund Bjørnson
When you are already a man, you will get it.
*Edwind seemed confused, but he then ignored the king*
*Sigmund came beside Guth*
Sigmund Bjørnson
It's the best time to teach your son how to use blades, swords, axes,.... and fight as a man, until your son is already 18.
Guth Guthenarson
Thank for advising, your Majesty!
*After the feast, Guth and Edwind came home*
*Next week, the king summon Guth to the palace's hall*.
Sigmund Bjørnson
Guth, come here!
Guth Guthenarson
What, my king?
Sigmund Bjørnson
Just come here, now.
Guth Guthenarson
Where is this from?
*Sigmund and Guth talked about a letter from Cathergard, it turned out that Kaglus asked for help*
Sigmund Bjørnson
That Jarl asks us for help when he didn't help us 5 years ago
Sigmund Bjørnson
how ridiculous it is!
Guth Guthenarson
I don't find that. I think we should help him.
Sigmund Bjørnson
Why must we? He didn't help us, so why must we help him?
Guth Guthenarson
You see, if the Vikings take over Cathergard, in the south to us, they will have a new way to strike our country. And if we help him, we will probably have a new ally, and we will be able to access our military over Cathergard port to the bay of Biskvait, and develop our country's economy.
*Sigmund thought for a while, then went:
Sigmund Bjørnson
I've witnessed your wisdom, my chancellery, you said significantly right. After the deaths of two chancelleries, you are the only one that I trust the most now. I will extract a third of my army for you. It's more than one thousand men, let's lead them to Cathergard!
Guth Guthenarson
It's a pleasure for me, your Majesty!
*Guth then summoned all his men and a third of the king's army, marched southwardly and westwardly*
*Meanwhile in Cathergard*

Ivar Sigurdsson Lothbrok
Hey, hey Guth
Guth Guthenarson
What!???‽ [Then withdrew the blade] What do you want here!??
Ivar Sigurdsson Lothbrok
Calm down, I just want a negotiation between us
Guth Guthenarson
You started the battle, so why do you want to negotiate?
Ivar Sigurdsson Lothbrok
King Magnus the First Olafsson summoned me to be back in Kattegat for some issues, I just want a short-term truce, do you agree?
Ivar Sigurdsson Lothbrok
Don't worry, I will withdraw all my men home.
Guth Guthenarson
Ok, I agree, now I give you 12 hours to withdraw your men.
Ivar Sigurdsson Lothbrok
My gratitude!
*Ivar came back to his camp at the port and all his men came back to Norway after 8 hours*
*Morning*
*Guth saw a cage locking Kaglus, he approached and broke it with his blade, Kaglus went out*
Guth Guthenarson
You are now freed, Kaglus
Kaglus the Jarl
Thank you, I'm so happy, thank you, thank Jesus!
Guth Guthenarson
No problem
Guth Guthenarson
You think there's no conditions?
Kaglus the Jarl
What do you mean by that, Guth?
Guth Guthenarson
King Sigmund wants you to be his ally and gain the military-access right. For he has saved you, you only have one choice.
Kaglus the Jarl
Fine, do whatever he want.
*State of Cathergard was became a vassal, a part of Hambrian monarchate*

Guth Guthenarson
Edwind! I'm home!
Edwind Guthenarson
Daddy, I miss you so much
*Guth took a sit next to his son and went:
Guth Guthenarson
Are you ready for the first lesson?
Edwind Guthenarson
....... I'm ready!
Guth Guthenarson
No, you have to do like this. Do not hold the blade like a girl!
Edwind Guthenarson
But dad, it's too hard for me.
*Guth dropped his wooden blade down and sat in front of his son*
Edwind Guthenarson
Dad, it's impossible.
Guth Guthenarson
Boy, don't say like that. Nothing is impossible
Guth Guthenarson
Unless we are patient to do it
Edwind Guthenarson
What do you mean?
Guth Guthenarson
Nothing is impossible, get it? If you hard train to use blade every day, when you are a man, nothing is impossible for you.
Edwind Guthenarson
.......
Guth Guthenarson
Why don't you think that why I can use the blades fluently?
Guth Guthenarson
That's my patience from young to now....
Guth Guthenarson
Now stand up and train
*Edwind seemed to realise something, he stood up and took up the blade*
*Meanwhile in Kattegat*
*In a castle of Kattegat*
Ivar Sigurdsson Lothbrok
Your Majesty, the Hambrians are camping in Cathergard
