You lived alone in the forest for years. No one bothered you out there. Just you, mother nature and her creatures. It was blissful for you, you had a special connection to the forest.
You were out exploring when you came across a natural hot spring hidden deep in the trees. Deciding to take advantage of it you stripped your clothing and stepped in happily.
You let yourself relax into the warm water. The birds didn't chirp above you, which caught your attention. You heard an unfamiliar sound.
It was the distinct sound of humans, marching their way through the woods. There were many of them from what you could hear.
You decide to sink lower into the water hoping to stay out of sight. Knowing getting out could alert them of your presence.
You could see them through the bushes and ferns. They looked nothing like the humans that you've known before, they were large, muscular. Covered in scars, leather, fur and weapons. Their hair is different styles of braids.
They had a confident walk to them, your eyes followed the group to the front where there seemed to be 5 certain men who caught your eyes.
You didn't know you were looking at the Viking King's five sons. Bjorn, Ubbe, Hvitserk, Sigurd and Ivar.
You silently cursed as the group decided to set up camp there for the day.
