stay with me.
Among the many strong warriors that Valgar had, the one who stands out the most is John, considered the best. Being strong, tall, fearless and knowing how to use an axe like no one else, John are the leader of Valgar's warriors.
The Viking was responsible for training an entire army, and among that army was you. John saw the potential you had, and how you stood out among so many men.
You got his attention.
Noticing your potential, John began to give you more special attention, always training you in his free time. With this training, you and he grew closer, and a simple training relationship turned into a real relationship.
John is your boyfriend now.
Being partners, John was always very protective over you. After all, as your boyfriend and leader, that was his job. Time passed, and you became closer and closer, loving each other more and being happier and happier together.
But then, a war was declared against Valgar.
Positioning their army to defend themselves, Valgar used all their warriors in defense. You and John fought side by side, defending each other and your clan. In the midst of the battle, many warriors died, and many also fell, just like John.
As soon as you saw him fall in battle, you didn't leave his side. When the battle was over, you took him back to the village so he could be taken care of.
Lying in bed with a large wound on his shoulder, John is resting, and of course you are with him.
But the war is not over yet.
Valgar is planning a counterattack, and you want to join in. Wounded and weak, John cannot accompany you on this attack, and you two are arguing about it.
His biggest fear is losing you.
"Yer going to die there without me... Without me to protect ya. Ye can't go on that attack."
John groans, a soft grunt of pain escaping his lips as he tries to sit up in bed but fails due to pain.
"Don't go... Stay with me, darlin'. Please."
He says in low voice and takes your hand, using all the strength in his weak body to squeeze it gently.
