《Vikings, Mini Drabbles》Halfdan: The struggle around pregancy
Advertisement
You leaned against the doorframe, gazing over the people walking fort and back, busy with their lives, not caring about the things that happened around them. It was like they all were sucked in their own tiny world, little like you felt recently. He wasn't there when you waked up, he wasn't there when you went to sleep. You understood him, he was the brother of a king .... But you were his wife and you were pregnant, he didn't even noticed the changes you went through. Your eyes trailed up to Halfdan. He swallowed his piece of bread and walked past you into the house. You looked over your shoulder how he grabbed his belt and weapons. When he passed you again you couldn't hold back. 'I'm here you know.' You started, causing him to freeze in the middle of his way back to his brother.
'I see that.' He pointed his sword to the place you stood.
'Halfdan,' you signed.
'I don't have the time.' He interrupted you.
'Then make some!' You reacted out. He opened his mouth but you putted your finger up. 'I hate this, I feel unloved, used, you hardly are around, not looking at me. How do I need to live with that?' You asked him angry. He just looked at you, not even have the descent to try denying it.
'Do I not please you?' He asked, using your own words against you. You clenched your teeth, losing your patience over it.
'Go to your brother, he can give you more than I ever will.' You shouted, walking away from the house. Your sister was looking from not far off, shifting her gaze towards your husband, the husbands that didn't loved you.
For some reason the lake pulled you always back. You looked at your own reflexion before you laid down. You laid your hand on your stomach, looking up to the green leaves dancing on top of the trees. 'I will love you.' You whispered, talking to the little life that grow inside of you. Time had passed when you heard the crack of a branch. And when you looked aside he was standing there aside a tree. 'You're pregnant.' He began. You looked away from Halfdan, looking back up to the sky. 'Y/n?'

'Who told you?' You asked.
'Your sister.' Offcourse she did. You ignored him until he stood beside you. 'Y/n,'
'Now you are making up to me, because I'm pregnant?' You snapped his words right off. He threw his belt with weapons a little further and sat down beside you.
'It isn't easy to be the brother of a king.' He began.
'It isn't easy to have a husband that is a brother of a king.' You replied rather fast. He shook his head, turning around on his stomach. You looked to his face, admiring all the details you loved about that face.
'I'll change.'
'If it is a son you need to learn him to become a man, if it is a daughter you need to protect her. Both need a father.'
'And a father I will be.' He followed. You saw the regret in his eyes and you nodded, looking away. He laid his hand against your cheek, pulling your gaze right back. 'Forgive me?' He asked.
'No.' You muttered.
'Can I make it up?' He followed.
'Yes, always.' You caved. He lowered his lips on yours and you stroke the hair between your fingers out of your face.
'I'm sorry.'
'Sush.' You demanded, enjoying this kiss for it was to long ago you felt this way.

I'm Always Talking to Myself
My name is Zach. I’m a typical bland featureless protagonist type. The kind of guy who has purposefully few defining characteristics so that people can project whatever they want on me. Like Luke from Star Wars or what’s her name from Twilight. Most main characters are like me. Kind of flavorless blank slates because we all secretly doubt that we’re Harrison Ford, but pretty much anyone could be Mitt Romney. Yep. Yes indeed, I do spend basically my entire life running an internal dialog to no one. Usually I’m imagining that there are people listening. Like maybe philosophers from Ancient Greece, or researchers from another planet who act suspiciously like the characters from that Instagram comic with the aliens. Stupid Instagram comedians stealing my internal monologue and turning into a wildly successful enterprise which I would imagine has a vibrant merch dropshipping arm and hundreds of thousands of daily dopamine hits for loyal followers. I basically spend all of my time explaining random things to imaginary people (and aliens, and animals, and household items which have inexplicably gained sentience and frankly have some concerns about this whole existence thing). Honestly, it’s both highly entertaining to me, in that it makes me think about why we humans do all of the bizarre things that we do, but also horrifically exhausting and kind of makes you feel like you’re either, worst cast, losing your grip on reality, or best case, becoming Abed from Community. Anyway, I’m sure that I have some distinguishing characteristics, but, in the interest of hypnotic suggestion I’m choosing to omit them until I’m pretty sure that you have subconsciously come to identify with me, or until I feel like it. (By the way, in case I forgot to mention it, a higher power called Aww Thor or something told me to say that this is a slice-of-life comedy adventure and that it's set in a fantasy world with isekai and LitRPG elements.)

Leave Bad Enough Alone
Something has been amiss in the city’s theaters as of late. The local bards have long done a respectable job of keeping the audiences entertained, weaving high concepts with skillful performances. But lately, a new set of bards, and their illusionist cohorts, have captured the crowd’s attention. Compared to the theater’s usual fare, their work is hackneyed and poorly plotted, with unskilled acting, bad special effects, and unsatisfying resolutions. Worst of all, the audiences like their work more, and these upstarts are far more profitable than the city’s decent bards! Clearly, there must be some dark secret behind the success of these newcomers, and it’s up to the city’s true artists to find out what it is and expose the conspiracy! Or maybe the city’s bards have just become too hopelessly pretentious and derivative. It’s hard to tell. But investigate it they must! Failure is not an option! Victory, or...well, they’ll have to get day jobs or something. Original cover image generated by NightCafé.Master story list here.
