The Sage of Einar

In a cold, damp room that was lit only by a dim moonlight coming through the bars.

The heartbreaking screams of a man could be heard all over the place, so heartbreaking were that the guards who were guarding the tower dungeon

They just looked into each other's eyes while trying to keep as quiet as possible, because if for any reason they bothered Anders, they and their families would be in danger.

"What's wrong Harald, weren't you a king who could resist everything?

I've only removed your three fingernails and your other fingers are still missing, so try to scream less loudly as it would be a shame if Queen Malene would find you passed out. "

Harald, whose eyes were red and his forehead covered with sweat, was trying to stay calm while clenching his teeth.

Anders noted the king's tenacity to keep quiet, gave him a smile, and took the iron tongs from the stone table beside him.

With the tweezers once in his hand, he placed them on a fingernail of old King Harald's hand and squeezing them hard tore off the nail which came out with a sizeable chunk of flesh from the finger.

Harald, who was trying to keep quiet when he felt a part of his fingers being torn off so fiercely, ended up giving in to the pain and screamed because he could feel the blood coming out of the wound.

Anders who was looking at the nail on the clips grabbed Harald's hair and brought him closer to the clips "Do you like what you see, Harald?"

Harald glared at Anders and holding back the pain he spat in his face, Anders used his forearm to wipe the saliva from his face.

"You shouldn't have done that Harald."

After saying those words Anders used the pincers to repeatedly hit the old king's left arm, being hit so hard Harald screamed with all his breath.

"You're a son of a bitch Anders, I'd really like to curse you!"

Anders kept hitting the king's arm, accompanying the atmosphere with his laughter. Unfortunately for him, his festival of blows would end quickly as the door of the dungeon was opened.

A woman wearing Harald's crown came in, "Anders, I asked you to torture him, not murder him, you piece of useless shit."

Anders could only click his tongue and threw the clamps towards the wall "Queen Malene I would love to kill you right now, but even though I am a Berserker, I consider that my death must be something more spectacular.

Than to die for the warriors outside the dungeon waiting to cut my eggs. "

The queen just gave Anders a smile "Don't worry since the feeling is the same, but the difference is that I have the power and you are just one more dog.

So like the dog that you are, I'm going to give you a punishment, I'm going to send you along with the rest of the loyal soldiers of the idiot of a husband to fight hard against the Franks.

Whether or not you can survive will be up to you, but one thing's for sure: if you survive, I will personally take care of exiling you to the land of ice, where my stupid husband's bastard son was killed. "

When he finished saying those words, a group of over 20 warriors entered the dungeon heavily armed.

Anders seeing all the warriors raised his hands and ironically looked at the queen, "Very well your highness will do as you say but you can be sure of something, I am like a damn cockroach so do not expect a battle with Christians can kill me.

I will return to be able to go to the cursed island where I will be exiled, which I will turn into a wasteland of fire, after this, I will look for a large group of Vikings and I will return to this same place to cut off their noble head.

So you can be sure that I Anders Alfson will go back and burn this damn place. "

After giving his little speech Anders was tied up and a gag was placed in his mouth so that after this a group of warriors would take him away.

When Anders was taken out of the dungeon, Malene turned to see her husband who was with his head bowed because he had passed out.

"Someone bring a bucket of water."

One warrior was about to go for the water but was stopped by the queen who with a malicious smile raised her hand "On second thought, look for a bucket filled with shit and urine.

I can't wait to see the reaction Harald will have to see his entire body covered in what he hates the most. "

The warrior, swallowing a bit of saliva, nodded and quickly went out to find what the queen had asked for.

Malene just crossed her arms and waited. As soon as the warrior arrived with the bucket full of such disgusting contents, she gave the order to throw it on Harald.

The old man in pain woke up slowly when he felt something going through his body. The first thing he noticed was a penetrating scent of shit.

The second thing he felt was the putrid taste that he had on his tongue, the waste had entered his mouth, so he vomited, the taste was so strong that he could not bear it.

"What's wrong, my love, didn't you like my gift?

I made sure it was the best shit I could find in this place; I wanted you to wake up, but how else could I have talked to you? "

Spitting and shouting, the king answered her

"You are a fucking crazy bitch and even if you think you are going to have power, quite possibly someone is going to overthrow you, I don't think I will live much longer.

Without him, you're nothing but a bastard bitch.

That she dared to betray her husband. "

Malene's hand covered her mouth as she laughed "Ha ha ha ...

Did you think I did this for the security my father gives me?

You should know, Harald, that all the chiefs of the various tribes that make up our kingdom simply didn't want you anymore.

So I took care of making a plan to overthrow you, and it worked wonderfully. Look at you, you are covered in what you hate the most in the world waiting for the order to end your miserable life.

But before you die, I will see to it that you suffer and I will tell you a little secret. "

Malene waved her hand and all the warriors left the dungeon, leaving them completely alone.

"You must know that the child that you took care of as your son, fortunately, is not yours, his real father is the bastard Anders ...

But don't worry, I'll see to it that he inherits the kingdom and that he never knows who his father is, I prefer that he continues to see you as his father rather than that Berserker vermin.

Although I would love to continue talking throughout the evening, I think it's time for us to say goodbye. "

After saying those words, the queen gave small applause and four guards entered, carrying various chains and different instruments of torture.

"I want him to suffer as much as possible until he dies, and once he is dead, I want his impaled head to be displayed at the ceremony tomorrow.

This traitor must be repudiated by all our tribes. "

The guards nodded and waited until the queen emerged to begin Harald's torture.
