The invasion of the vikings

Guntaj Grewal

On November 3, 789 CE, Eadwig was walking home after being assigned to get 2 logs of wood
from his father, Elfred. Expecting another casual day with his friends and family, he was
staggered by the events that took place in his village. All he saw was a petrified woman, blood
splattered along the ground, and a mob of men attacking everyone in their sight. Eadwig was
too stunned to move, but he quickly gained his senses as he heard footsteps behind him. He
quickly turned around and ducked as a man swung his axe that just missed Eadwig`s head.
Without any hesitation, Eadwig pulled out his axe and jabbed his axe into the tall, bearded
man`s hip. As Eadwig listened to the man`s scream, he realized how his family was in danger.
He sprinted through the burning ashes of the village houses and the battles between the
village`s men and these strange invaders.
As Eadwig stepped into his house, he saw a man who looked similar to the invader he just
dispatched, but this one seemed more muscular. The man was laughing as he was getting
ready to attack his sister, Eluta while his family watched in fear. Quickly, Eadwig threw a piece
of wood to grab the man`s attention. The man irately looked at EAdwig and got his axe
ready,but Eadwig`s father, Elfred, quickly hit the man from behind who fell to the floor. Eadwig
realixed this opportunity and stabbed the man with his axe repeatedly until he stopped moving.
Eadwig, who has never been an actual fight for 8 years, remained calm in the situation until he
realized one of his sisters was missing. Questioning Elfred, he said that she was killed while she
was harvesting the crops. Enraged by this, Eadwig suddenly realized he had to stay calm and
think of a way to escort his family out of the village.
Eadwig grabbed his trembling mother`s hand and told everyone to follow him. As he and his
family ran from their burnt house, Eadwig saw another man, this time with a short beard, giving
a smirk under his horned helmet and threw a giant axe with a great velocity. Surprised by this,
Eadwig tried to push his family out of the way, but the axe was to fast for his sister, Eluta.
Eadwig watches in despair as his sister is brutally impaled by the axe. She instantly froze and
fell to the ground.
Eadwig, with the little humanity left inside of him, pulled the axe out of hisher dead sister, and
with great force, threw the axe towards the man`s head and blood splattered everywhere.
Eadwig grabs his mother and father and tries to bring them to the homemade boat on the river.
As Eadwig sprints towards the river, he trips over a rock and slams his head on the boulder.
Eadwig remained unconscious for a few hours, but eventually wakes up. As he wakes up, he
see`s his father and mother with a few wounds,but were still breathing. As he looks at the river,
the men who slaughtered the villagers, were far away from the land on their ship. Eadwig looks
at his village and saw people crying over the dead bodies of their loved ones and piles of burnt
ashes of the old village houses. All he saw was hell and torture

This moment changed Eadwig`s life forever. He decided to take a moment to look back at his
life. He always wanted to be a great farmer like his mother and live a happy and peaceful like,
but he couldn't fulfill any of these goals. In 781 CE, Eadwig was slashed by a man in the village
with a knife on the forehead. Eadwig knew the dangers of the world and decided to become
better in combat to protect his family and friends, but in the end, he couldn't protect anyone and
was too weak to do anything. He lost complete faith in King Egbert to protect the people in his
village. First it was his brother, now it was both his sisters that he lost. From this day forth,
Eadwig lived by the rule to kill all of these so called `Vikings`and avenge his sisters. Eadwig
continued to live by this rule until his death in 809 CE
