PRINCESS NANI

return to hammersgaard

 After so much traveling, I felt very tired lately, with so many fairs around the planet, and so many villages and cities visited, I wanted to rest and have a moment to myself to decide about the future and what I really wanted, the newspaper gives me a lot of work, and in the city of AR's where I live lately there is not much to do and the Scribes are not lacking.

  I had recently visited the Viking village of Vigra , after having interviewed Sir Dagur the High Jarl of Vigra , I decided to return to the south, and we set off, but after a few days the weather conditions worsened, becoming more and more dangerous for navigation, in agreement with the Captain we decided to reach land and descend along those mountains, we were very close to my house in Hammersgaard , we would disembark in the village waiting for better conditions to continue the navigation.

      It had been a long time since I saw the beautiful Nani, the Viking princess who became Taluna after her separation from Sir Erik. I was looking forward to meeting her and taking care of the paperwork pending in my village office.

 (I remember when I first arrived in that village, after leaving my adoptive mother lady BB, in the village of Finnur, we stopped to buy some food, to stay until spring, 

the snow now covered everything and the sea was frozen, the ice made navigation dangerous, in the Tavern on the port I met Sir Erik the manager, and with him the beautiful Nani who worked in the tavern, she was secretly in love with Erik, hiding her nature as a Taluna, only to me did she tell her story.

   Until one day Erk and Nanisi got married, with their Viking rite, I was there and I witnessed the event, it was something sudden but they knew that soon they would become 

parents of their child, meanwhile time passed, I had a small office where I carried out the work of Scribe, and I gave advice on the laws to their Jarl, spring arrived, the birth of the child was almost upon us, Nani and Erik begged me to stay until he was born, but secretly Erik often saw himself with a slave who became his lover, who in the end ran away with her.

 

 

After the birth, I attended the baby's baptism ceremony, a beautiful ceremony held in a small lake above the clearing. In their ritual, they immersed the baby in the icy water of that lake. Then everything was over and I decided to leave for the south. I hadn't seen the Oasis and my people for a long time.

   We landed at the village, which to my great surprise had been rebuilt much larger, now had a large palace on the hill, while my house was still on the plain after the port across the river. I finally met Nani, with her was the beautiful Tania the Tegina, they were waiting for Erik who didn't arrive, instead their Jarl, always very busy, arrived. I greeted everyone and returned to the great Hall on the hill, I witnessed the preparation of the temple for a ceremony that would take place shortly, night fell, now tired I went down to my wooden house, the fireplace was already lit, the bed I knew well with blankets of Borsk and tarsk skins, a slave was waiting for me for the night, I sent her back and dead tired I fell asleep, happy to have seen my Viking friends again in the village of Hammersgaard.
