It ain't good enough to try and not succeed

Oops I forgot to change the color of his speech text in his previous post. Eep. *changes it*

Pump was right to see Ragnar as a rival, because they wanted similar things, very similar. Except for the sole purpose that it was not the Ridge that Ragnar truly wanted but instead Ravensblood Forest, sacred as he believed it was to Odinn. It was the small, perhaps irrelevant fact that would keep Ragnar from challenging her, from becoming what he knew he could be if someone stood in the way of what he truly wanted. He had been willing enough to kill his own brother - thought admittedly Odinn’s Cove had been a perk, initially the silver Viking had only wanted his older brother’s wife, and beyond that a deep seeded vengance for their father, Eitri whom Björn had slain for the helm of the Cove. “To spread our culture and religion, as I said.” Ragnar told her. Not everyone would convert and Odinn, Ragnar felt, certainly knew and understood that. It wasn’t even so much of the religion as it was the culture itself though, gradually, if the culture of Ragnar and his kinsmen was understood the religion aspect would no doubt begin to make sense, as well.
