(Water churns as he continues scrubbing clothes) You go and I shall stay here and look after the children. Then who would take care of the children. This is the most dangerous and stupid voyage ever. I have dreamed of it many times, and in my dreams we are always together. This was going to be the most exciting voyage of our lives. What if the Earl finds out we have gone without his permission? Ragnar: I need to leave the children and the farm in the hands of someone I trust. If she wants to sleep with you, then I give my permission. Siggy: Only good things come from watching. Nothing would please me more, but it's too soon. Prepare to leave in the next few weeks, and tell no one that doesn't need to know. Yes, I want a good story to tell my children. Young men: I too! I will too! And I! I will go! We can offer you a chance to shine in battle and impress the gods, and to bring back such plunder that you have never seen before. Leif: He could kill us for disobeying his orders. This is why he refuses to let us go west. He knows nothing about the new way of navigating. The Earl knows nothing about our new boat. I promise you, Knut, I've heard witnesses.Įrik: We have to remember, though, that Earl Haraldson has ordered us to sail east. Kauko: You want us to join you in the boat?Īnd I have Ragnar's word that we will all be equal and share equally the spoils of our raid. Torstein: How would we steer across the open sea? Ragnar: Across the great sea, to a place called England, where countless riches await us. Ragnar: See, all you lot live idle and wasted lives.Īnd with this boat, for the first time, we can go west. You are here, firstly, because you have nothing better to do.
You have done well, my friend, although I knew I could trust you.
I've done as you asked, Ragnar, and sought out these young men to meet you.Īll of them have sworn upon their rings to keep this meeting a secret. Not many men will go against the wishes of Haraldson.Įrik: Ragnar Lothbrok, welcome to my house. I have something that will change everything.Įarl Haraldson: You keep talking about the west.ĭon't ever stick your nose in my face again.įloki: The boat will be lighter and faster than before.ĭo you think it could handle long sea voyages? They're my ships and they go where I tell them to go. Every year we go to the same places, but there is an alternative.
