With the saga drawing closer to a conclusion with each passing day, the tale of Tyr Ragnarsson was only going to get a lot darker for a boy with such a fate on his shoulder, it was difficult knowing the path that Tyr would choose or if he would even live long enough to accomplish that fate.
Noa proved to be a great find for he was Tyr's way into a hostile clan and the only reason that Gissur did not kill him on the spot.
Gissur was a primal creature and knew the potential that the boy had and only after he beat him to a pulp did he realize that potential was still a long way from manifesting.
Gissur's wife had told him how to kill the younger warrior but she also explicitly told him that Tyr could not be killed until a certain condition was met.
But unknown to his wife, Gissur never thought her prophecies to be a hundred percent for even fate could be altered if the gods willed it or there would be no loopholes in the visions she saw.
Gissur beat Tyr to keep him incapacitated, in that state, it did not matter how strong he was because he knew that he could have killed him if he wanted to.
Tyr was not alive because of the gods but because of Gissur, did this make Gissur the gods his wife was talking about? Absolutely not.
Tyr's memories have been coming to him piece by piece but there was something wrong.
The memories did not make sense and he could not even remember most of the dreams he had when he was in a coma.
But Noa had sold him as a friend that saved his life, and the fact that he could convince the Mad Hound to take him back to their base was nothing short of impressive considering the Mad Hound had the temperament of a child, let's not forget his ability to wound him.
Tyr could feel his personality splitting into two, sometimes he felt like the one in control of his body, and other times, he did not but was this more psychological than it was a mental disorder?
No one could tell at this point because the strength and skill he momentarily showed against the Mad Hound after losing "consciousness" was beyond comprehension.
But Tyr's existence was under threat the longer he was in this place, he had enemies everywhere because his name still held power even though he was exiled and Ragnar had "abandoned" him.
He was free for taking, and everyone had a reason to either want his head or want his alliance.
King Rugalf did not put too much thought into Tyr because he knew the young son of Ragnar would eventually come to him after his trials and tribulations, Tyr had every intention of living up to his name, the god of war.
He was a young red-blooded warrior that had just lost everything due to his inadequacies.
This is why he chose to face them for four years and now he had not only attained the title of Chieftain by conquering a clan but he was the architect of an unlikely alliance that unknowingly increased his chances of survival because there was no way that Gissur would have survived alone on the first day considering how he was not only outnumbered but someone that possessed equal or even greater strength that he was present.
The only reason he survived to fight another battle was because of Tyr but Tyr was also the reason their way of life came under threat, he was the genesis of everything.
But even his enemies began to admire his tenacity, some found themselves rooting for his survival, and among these people was Kjell.
Kjell had grown fond of the younger warrior and he got first-hand news about his whereabouts, this included Skol's first attempt at killing him, everyone thought he had died and Kjell found himself feeling disappointed that someone capable of killing Erik met such an anticlimactic end but as months passed, they began to hear strange news of a boy matching Tyr being seen around or reported being seen but these were just rumors. This was when Kjell found himself rooting for Tyr Ragnarsson. He was rooting for his survival and hoped that the rumors were true.
He, however, had to wait a few more years for confirmation about Tyr's survival shortly after the death of Thorvald, another person of interest as he was a fallen warrior, an old friend, that gave into the ridicule he faced after he lost to Ulf Lothbrok.
This was like a tale written by the gods themselves, Tyr had risen from the dead and slaughtered Skol.
After his death, that was when his journey truly began.
And Kjell did not want to see it end, not now at least.
Sighvatur was a dangerous man that he knew Signy was underestimating but he also understood why Signy wanted to keep their involvement in it low-key because if word got out that they aided or possibly killed a Ragnarsson then Vingulmark would be the next kingdom to fall hence why he augmented the strength of Sighvatur's army.
Kjell was making sure no loose ends remained because people talk, and from the rumors he has heard regarding the father and son.
They were far too dangerous to be left alive hence why he decided to play a part in the story of the boy he had grown fond of.
Tyr had managed to turn fate on its head, Tyr had killed a King and won a war at the age of twelve.
And the only person that could prove to be a challenge to Tyr right now was Bjorn, for he was the yin to his yang, and everyone wondered what could potentially happen if they met again.
The Viking world was about to undergo a very interesting change, one that would pave the way to glory or destruction.
