Stavanger Bay I don't know how I feel anymore

Charon just didn’t know where to look, his eyes darting back and forth across the beautiful display of nature’s galore in front of him. His tail wagged a little as he looked around. ”I bet Levi would love this!” he said, even though he knew that Levi didn’t really seem to love anything. Charon wondered if seeing something as gorgeous as this might cheer his brother up some and remind him that you couldn’t keep living in the past (sure, Charon missed his family too, but he imagined they would wish for him to be happy instead of sit around moping all day), and he definitely reminded himself he should take his brother here some day.

He had heard the word viking before, so he knew what that meant. ‘Like my mom’ was probably the clearest description that anyone could have given Charon, for he instantly nodded. ”Oh, you mean like, Alpha females?” he suggested. ”So what’s the name of viking Alpha males? Shield dudes, maybe?” Charon wasn’t sure why it was ‘shield maidens’, or what the shield part of it stood for, but he thought ‘shield dudes’ sounded pretty neat. Charon grinned and said, ”Maybe we will be shield dudes of a pack some day too, like your mom!” Well, okay, his mom was a shield maiden, but since shield dude was the male equivalent that Charon had just made up, it was sort of the same.
