“How the little piggies will grunt when they hear how the old boar suffered.”
— Ragnar Lothbrok
Ragnar's last words before King Aella threw him into a pit of snakes in Northumbria, 865 AD. A prophecy his sons fulfilled when they invaded England years later.
Before they threw me into the snake pit, I knew this was my end. Northumbria, 865. Aella's men dragged me to the edge. I looked at those serpents and I laughed. Not because I was brave. Because I knew my sons would hear this story and burn everything Aella loved. Your death means nothing if nobody remembers. Make them remember.
