Two For Eternity: The Vikings

I made a short, one chapter diversion in my novel Two For Eternity, setting this chapter in the Kingdom of Norway in 984 AD. There were a couple of reasons that I wanted to get this time period into the novel. The first is to establish that the vikings were in fact the first Europeans to land in the Americas, and second, because vikings are just plain cool. I have always been fascinated with Nordic culture and mythology. It was a people made of fierce warriors and a culture dominated by honor and valor. Unlike Christopher Columbus and the other explorers of his ilk, they did not come to this land and destroy the people who lived here.

This particular chapter explored the viking exploration of the Newfoundland area in Canada. I tried to capture some of the swashbuckling ways of the vikings as well as their spirit of adventure. I also set up a battle scene between Raiken and Vrag, my two main characters.
