~ Thurisaz ~

Let them spread the word once more – all the way to the Duke of Normandy - that no one stands a chance against the vikings of Norway! And now - we take our prize...

(Thurisaz. The Raider)
_________________________________________________________________________

Illustration for an up-coming short-story entitled "The Raider", which is a realistic and up-close portrayal of a Viking raid, from the perspective of Hakon. It's different from what I usually post with my character Hakon and it's meant to show his "dark side" - Hakon is a berserker and here we will see him in the role of invader. You don't want to see this guy standing in your door ^^ This is a part my series of short-stories inspired by the Norse runic alphabet, corresponding to the rune thurisaz.

Thurisaz (thurs meaning giant or jotun) is the symbol of destructive force, instinctual will, male sexuality.

More of Hakon:

Thurisaz. The Raider Hakon slammed the warrior's head into the pile of wooden logs by the house, until he remained there unmoved. Another soldier rushed upon him with raised sword. Hakon's shield parried the blow, shoving the man aside, pushing him back stormily, his sword slashing at him unrelenting until the man fell on his knees, eyes filled with horror. So Hakon drove the blade through his chest. But then, another man – a peasant, limping but determined and with a despaired hate in his distorted countenance - rushed upon him from the storehouse behind, striking with a studded club at his back. Hakon bent to dodge the hit, so the studs grazed his armour but were not driven through it entirely. He grunted and turned halfway with shield raised to block the second hit, swinging his blade at the peasant's thigh, pummeling the club out of his hand and grappling him by the shoulder to strike his helmet in the man's bare head, leaving him collapse in the dirt.
