Slave In A Viking Community
Slave In A Viking Community
I am a slave. I have been working in this Viking community for four months now and they won’t let me out. I do all this hard work removing the coals from the sauna and replacing them, fixing the straw on the huts, bringing wood to the workers building boats and the pieces they don’t use I had to take back to the wood shed which was 200 metres away. I did it all very good and then they fed me sun dried fish which was marinated in milk and boiled to a gruel, it was good but I didn’t eat it all, they said I was being selfish when I tipped it in the scraps so now I have to stay in the community. The Vikings were nearly going to let me go but since I threw the food in the bin they are keeping me a slave. The Vikings say I have to do some kind of act of bravery or great loyalty to my master or something. I do have to be honest and say that it is not that bad but I do a lot harder work then I did back at my village but to be honest I do get fed better. In our community we have two meals a day. In this community we have three or maybe four meals a day and they are a decent serve. In our community we get dirty water here we get beer, you heard me right beer. I’ve never had beer until I came to this Viking community and it is great. Sometimes when I am bringing the cooks water they show me how to cook it is really cool and now when I am freed I can go back to my own community and show them how to make different meals. The worst part is when I am working here and then all the male Vikings decide to go on a raid and then I am here working by myself and just knowing that the other male Vikings are killing helpless people just like me that just want to live their life without being raided but these people just come...
