A Viking Saga: The Darkest Day Page #3

Christ has not abandoned you, boy.

He stands in front of you!

Build a pyre.

And then we go back for the ships?

The Saxons must pay!

Your son is dead.

Half a day is lost.

You want us all die for your book.

- It is over...

- Don't question me!

What is this?

Witchcraft.

It's a warning.

This is an evil place.

We should find another way.

We are in the wilds now.

We must push on.

Let us pass in peace.

Pagan scum!

I am no pagan.

Let us pass in peace.

Who are you?

I am Denegifu.

We are the true followers of Christ.

And these?

Apostles.

To who?

To Christ's will.

Angles men dies.

The people starve.

Famine destroys those who

does plague do not.

We witness the final days.

No flesh shall be spared.

We go to the mountains,

to await His final judgment.

- You'll find no judgment in the mountains.

- You should join us, monk.

Join you?

Your monastery will not shield

you from the coming wrath.

Nor will the mountains.

Have you seen the villages, boy?

There is only death there.

He punishes sin.

His word is our only salvation.

Does His word feeds the starving?

Or cure the sick?

No.

We must embrace the death He brings,

so we may sit at His side

in paradise.

This is the Holy Book of Lindisfarne.

Illuminated by Bishop Eadfrith,

in the presence of Christ.

This is your salvation.

Before we go to our death

bless us.

Be our defense against cruelty

and the wiles of the devil.

May God rebuke you.

We humbly pray

May the power of God

throws Satan in hell

and all evil spirits who wander

in this world

to the damnation of souls.

That was foolish...

Never show the Book again...

Not out here.

They were desperate.

That is why you must be careful.

It's a precious thing to risk.

The people need protection.

Only the Book is important.

Do not forget that.

They could have gone in any direction.

We won't find them out here now.

We will find them.

It is time to leave.

Do you never sleep?

We must keep going.

It is cold!

We travel north.

It will get colder.

Come.

Wait!

We won't harm you.

- Are there others?

- An army.

You will die out here.

- Where are they?

- You are in... hell!

The others will eat your flesh

and f*** your covered bodies.

A trap...

The witch is responsible.

- The pagan whore must pay.

- No.

- She wears the marks of witchcraft!

- Wait!

Let her speak.

Who are you?

What is your name?

We do not understand you...

Speak now!

Eara! Of the Northern people.

She lies!

She travels with bandits!

Why do you travel with these men?

They ambushed us and killed my family.

You're a long way from home, girl.

Plague took my village.

We tried to escape it.

Are you Christian?

- She lies!
