ok, my story
we entered the fortress, and immediately he ordered every man to get ready for the coming assault. "the danes wont fight us when we are here' my father told me. 'they are wimps, turds, even, they attack easy prey, which is why we are gathering the thegns and the villagers outside the fort. a village and some silver can be replaced, but not a man's life. remember, this Osbert, for if your elder brother Uhtred the Aetheling dies, you, son, will be the next ealdorman of Bebbanburg.' He then ordered my brother and fifty warriors to exit the castle and scout on the Danes and see where they land. 'You are to spy, and nothing more, Uhtred.'I heard him say. 'yes, father.' I was then take to Beocca, my father's priest. 'keep him busy, beocca. teach him his letters.' 'yes lord' oh, Beocca, he was a most kind soul, but he had an unbelieveable ugliness. his right hand was palsied, he squinted, and his eyes were a milky white. TBC
