The first thing she noticed was the hot sun, hotter than she had ever experienced before. She was wearing the leather pants and shirt that she wore in battle. She was sweating and they were clinging to her uncomfortably. She noticed a silver bracelet on her wrist that hadn't been there before. It was much smoother and finer than the work of the smiths in Kattegat. Perhaps it was the work of the gods.
As she opened her eyes and sat up, the second thing she noticed was the beauty of the surroundings. She was sitting on a white sandy beach, and above her were lushly forested hills. The trees and plants appeared different than those she was used to in Scandinavia, or even in England or Frankia, but the land appeared very fertile. She breathed deeply and the air was sweet with flowers.
This must be the new land that the goddess Arva had told her about. She had doubted the lady's word, since Arva was not one of the gods of her people, but now it seemed that she had been telling the truth. Lagertha hoped that the rest of her promises, especially the one about having children, were true as well. It seemed she must truly be a great goddess indeed, though a foreign one, to have brought Lagertha here.
Lagertha stood up and walked to the surf. Her first order of business would be to wash off the sweat and cool off. When she had finished that she started walking down the beach. She would need to find fresh water soon. The heat was making her thirsty. Supposedly the goddess was bringing other people here, so she would need to find them as well.
