[After this.]
[For months he had checked the journal to see any word, any information at all about his family, but there had been nothing about Lagertha, about his children: Bjorn and Gyda, or even his brother Rollo. Not until he said something and she came in, as passionate as she always was. Of his family, she had news, but it was strange to see such things written in his wax tablet. Bjorn with her, but missing. Gyda, dead. Dead? The last he had seen her, she had been playing by the water's edge, the sunlight in her hair. How could she be dead?
Death was not unknown to them, but there had been no raids, no sicknesses with Kattegat in the time he had been there. So what had taken his daughter from this world?
And why was Lagertha referring to someone else as his wife? These questions rattled around in his skull as he saddled his horse and left the town, heading Northwest. The path was free of villagers and he spurred his horse into a gallop, intent upon finding her before anyone -- or anything-- else did. She said a half day out, but she was likely going slower than he was and by mid morning, he slowed in the chance that she had left the trail to wait in the brush.]
