Norseman
Northman

The northman happened to be taking his turn as lookout.

And he said that it made no difference, on land or water, according to the Northman view.

The northman scratched his head again, trying to make sense of it all.

The knowledge that what the Northman had done to her, a husband would do in their marriage bed.

The Northman came around the other side of the tree and struck him down.

Northman, he thought, but could not speak for the hurt in his throat.

"Are you turning into a philosopher in your old age, northman?"

"For the last time, are you coming with me, northman?

Anyway, the northman had little attention to spare for such details.

This knowledge gave the Northman a measure of patience beyond his nature.

She went to the body of a Northman, frozen in death on the sea bottom.

"Eric Northman is the name you go by these days.

You can understand that, northman, I can see it in your eyes.

The Northman considered the situation silently, then shrugged and went on about his business.

It is not known when or how Northman died, nor who succeeded him directly.

In 1979 the title was considered outdated and changed to Northman.

But even as the banner fell another Northman snatched it up.

For a moment, the northman considered reaching down and sweeping the woman into his arms.

"Maybe you can see, northman, how matters stand with me.

He was a Northman, and he did not fear to die.

Northman, I can see the heaviness that lies on your heart.

He flung the dying Northman from him and launched himself at the next one.

"I have seen some strange folk here and there," the northman announced at last.

What the druid and the Northman may want counts for nothing, but your going is my will as well.

The hearty old Northman was pale and constrained, as were they all.
