Chapter 19: Unite the Tribes

At this point every single person had a look on disbelief on their face as they stated at Arthor.

"Son... no one believes in you more than I but this..." Harwood trailed of, "is madness" the woman who had spoke earlier spoke once more as she made it to her feet.

"Where are you going Lagertha?" Harwood questioned the woman who had began to make her way out of the meeting. "I came here to discuss our survival, with you back I thought we could find a more secure place and hold out for the rest of the winter."

At this point Largetha turned to look at Arthor, "not to listen to the ramblings of a deluded child". Lothor narrowed his eyes and attempted to stand up but was held firmly in place by Benjen.

Largetha and Arthor locked eyes for a moment before she left, with her departure most of the others took their leave as well. Arthor, Lothor, Benjen, Ronell and Harwood as well as Meha, Shyra and three others were the only ones still seated.

With a tired sigh Harwood spoke, "Arthor, you have also had big dreams and the confidence to fufill them. I love that about you but you have to realize sometimes dreams are just dreams".

Harwood spoke his last words before leaving formally putting an end to the meeting. Shyra and the other two men left leaving the brothers alone with Meha.

Lothor who had been holding his tongue finally burst. "Argh those old bastards! I can't believe even father doubts Arthor"

"They have been through a lot, it is understandable" Benjen spoke up at this moment, "Understandable, bah fuck understandable! they don't respect us especially that old hag Lagertha".

"Largetha is a great warrior, she fears or her family is all" Meha spoke unwilling to see the woman she respected being insulted. "She lost her husband and now has to take care of a babe all by herself, as well as fight Invaders, did you really expect her to put her faith and trust in you with but a few words."

"Meha is right, we can not expect for her to put her whole trust in us with just words. To show them the truth action needs to be taken"

Lothor had a wide grin on his face hearing this while Meha looked to her cousins with confusion, "Actions?". Arthor gave her no answer as he turned to Ronell, "What have you found?"

"There are three groups not far from here two of the groups are Skagossi and from their numbers they are survivors as well." Arthor quirked a brow as he payed attention to Ronell's words, "who are the third group?"

"Free folk, at least they look and sound like the free folk mother talked about. Also they do not speak the old tongue but rather the common tongue" Ronell explained to everyone while Meha's confusion just grew as she wondered what was going on.

"Ronell is a skin changer, his Ravens have been observing our surroundings since he regained his strength." Benjen decided to relieve Meha of her confusion as he explained his brothers gift.

Meha turned back to Ronell her eyes filled with awe, she must confess all this time she hadn't taken Ronell seriously at all as he was just too young. Benjen's physique alone spoke volumes about his strength, Lothor's scars spoke of the battles he had fought and Arthor mere presence screamed warrior but she felt nothing of the sort with Ronell and with the absence of scars she didn't think he was much of fighter, if one at all.

Ignoring his cousin, Arthor thought deeply about the information he had just received. Free folk, he remembered them from the show, with the rest of the world referring to them as wildlings.

He truly did not expect to meet any of them this early, he now knew where Skagos was on the map of the world and it was pretty close to the north close enough that it fell under the north although from how Skagossi saw the north he assumed that was only on paper.

"We will start with the Free folk", Arthor spoke drawing attention back to himself. "Start what?" Meha looked Arthor in the eye, "this isn't your concern, you will know when we return with results".

Saying so the brothers made it to their feet but Meha held on to Arthor's hand stopping him from leaving. "I'm coming with you"

"You don't even know what we are about to do"

"If you are going to fight then I want to come with you. I'm tired of staying here and doing nothing I want to fight as well."

Arthor simply stared at her with Meha meeting his eyes refusing to back down, "let her come with us" Benjen spoke up breaking the tense atmosphere.

"They might be few but we don't know how things will turn out and having another skilled warrior on our side is always a good thing"

Arthor spoke up finally after listening to Benjen's words, "Fine, get your weapons. I'm going to speak to father and when I return we head out."

*******

Another chapter down I feel Meha and Arthor's conversation isn't up to par so I'll try and improve that in upcoming chapters.
