Stavanger Bay vikings mourn their dead

Would Krypton have given voice to her hypothesis Gyda would have been happy to explain the complication and yet utter devoted love her parents shared. It was true that Ragnar and Thistle's relationship had not always been conventional but nothing about their relationship — from it's start to (Gyda presumed) it's end. Thistle had been pregnant with Gyda and her brothers and the three of them had belonged to a different man named Crete DiSarinno, and at first it had been told by Ragnar that their relationship had been founded on fondness and convenience. Love had came after; but Ragnar was a feral man and had taken the priestess Nerian as his second wife so that he had not one wife but two at the same time. Not exactly uncommon in Odinn's Cove, she had met a woman with two husbands, a woman with a female and male lover, and a man with two wives. Gyda, personally, found herself a bit baffled by the idea of sharing a mate. She wanted a love like her mother had found in her father. Fierce, passionate, scolding to the touch and yet with a devotion that even the Gods would be envious of. 

“I will miss this place,” Gyda admitted softly, and while her words could be applied specifically to Shield Maiden's Sorrow in truth they'd been meant Stavanger Bay as a whole. She did not want to move on from this place ...at least not with her father still buried in it's soil but to dig him up would surely be disgraceful. It could, even, anger the Gods. Yet, Gyda understood that she would need to. She would soon learn of the claim upon The Sentinels neighboring it's western border. Though she was not afraid of a challenge and believed she had plenty of rights (even if she didn't) she knew to be a better leader than that. Ragnar might have been territorial but he was cool and calm; and like her father before her Gyda made to utilize these traits. Besides, she had no pack to stand behind her and while she was bold and brave she was not stupid.
