I like that you have used more of a historical report style of writing and created an impression of an ancient dialectal form.
The Viking war-band retreat'd of course, those plundering cowards, but not without rescuing their heathens first, but to no avail. The same was to be said for oure side, those damn'd screaming folks.
Also, the words of the priest show that universal truth - history is written by the victor - as he slanders the vikings lol
Nice story @theironfelix
Defined by their era, died by their era. For now we can be beyond good and evil with them, but they always serve as a reminder that we are defined by our era and we have to move beyond it to not die by our era.
