Stavanger Bay I don't know how I feel anymore

Gunnar would do his best to talk Charon out of hunting bears if he ever told him of it. It was one thing to imagine you were doing so, a whole other ball game to actually go after a fully grown bear. A bear who not only stole the life of Pump their first leader, but also had stolen the mother of Charon. It would not do good to have the boy chasing bears.

Gunnar smiled at Charon's happiness and awe. He himself had been awe struck the first time he saw this place. It was beautiful and deadly, a little bit like some of the females he knew.

Gunnar thought hard how to explain what a shield maiden was. They are female viking warriors. Kind of like my mom. They go into battle with the men and protect the borders from outsiders.
