Edit: Just made a few changes that I've been wanting to make for the past 2 years, but just never got around to doing, so finally here it is, new & revised!

Another work in my viking theme

'Alone he stands in the doorway
His family still asleep
Gazing at the starlit horizon
And the moonsparkling sea
When dawn comes he must leave them
His home, his children and loved
For his destiny beyond those waves
Known only to the Norns

He's already dressed ready to leave
His four friends are waiting by the shore
Each with a dragon ship
And one hundred men prepared for war

He returns to his bed kissing
His sleeping wife goodbye
And as he leaves his youngest son
A tear rolls from his eye'

- part of song by the band Amon Amarth

I really love this piece, not only because the model is my man, but also because of my heartfelt and strong bond with the ancient history of the Scandinavians - My people.

I have ancestors in amongst others, Scotland and norway as well as Denmark.

My oldest (certain; mentioned more than 2 independent sources) ancestor was Rognvald "The Wise" Eysteinsson... Earl of More, Romsdal & Orkney.
- Born about 830 Maer, Nord Trondelag, Norway
- Died 890/94 Orkney, Orkney Islands, Scotland.

My mother has studied geneology for more than a decade as a hobby..
