Cheers @blockurator Neil Gaiman and J.R.R. Tolkien are two of my literary heros so I am hugely happy that the story had even a smattering of the feel of either of those authors. I felt as I wrote it that it was getting dangerously close to Gaiman, and I'm always mindful of not trying to imitate any other writer, but when I read it back I thought the setting and more classical style was different enough from what Gaiman does that it had its own voice.
Glad you enjoyed it. I put quite a bit of research into this one :-)
Ditto that!!
I'd upovte but my "power"is under 90 again.
I don't know why, but I laughed at this (denim cutoffs being a forged in my brain aforehand): Gunnr keeps leather off-cuts meant as tribute to Vidar
Oh dear. I only now see that you write "off cuts," not cutoffs. And only yesterday I saw that coffee mug meme, "I have a dig bick," and "You this read wrong," and the third line was also read wrong.... *sigh
The laugh is on me.
Well, I love the use he puts the leather off-cuts to - and love the idea of Vikings doing figure 8s on the ... yeah. No spoilers!

Ha ha, well the laugh is on both of us because I just spilled my coffee I laughed so hard. Thanks for the Lol's Carol, its been one of those days so a chuckle was just what I needed...

At times, it gave me a taste of Silmarillion. I enjoyed the scene of Gunnr creating the shoes marked with sacred runes while the wife snores and the pigs fart.
Ha ha. That line was one of my favorites as I was writing it. I really wanted to get across the stink and filth they would have lived in those days... and how normal that would have been for them as well. Thanks for your comment mate. Glad you enjoyed the viking story :-)
Breath taking
Wow
Cheers @hazem91. Glad you enjoyed it m8 :-)

This is excellent! Reminds me a little of Neil Gaiman with some J.R.R. Tolkien. I particularly like the Gaelic feel of this. Well done.

I stove all your lories, er, I love all your stories, Raj!
Absolutely epic @raj808
So much detail and a very cool ending. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Gaz
again, DITTO that!!!!
Thanks Gaz. I'm glad you enjoyed it and as someone who had previously read the Jorvik museum post I wonder; did you see the end/twist coming?
Not really too bothered if you did but just curious.
Thanks for reading :-)
Only right near the end. Had me guessing until then.
