Alfred should know that "I’ll take your oath that you’re not with the heathen dog Tostig?” is terrible phrasing. Friend or foe, as soon as they'll hear that they will know what to answer to lower your guard. I guess having a sword and people to back you up makes you self-assured, but still.
-What is wrong with Eadric? Never smelling of sweat is strange for a Westerner. Or can he recognize the individual personal body odours to the point he realizes he smells different from all of them? I know brothers in arms are close, but this close?
-Why would they offer to take care of the boy? Even a bad warrior who did not yet prove himself would be worth a lot more in these circumstances. Just keep your eye on them untill they've done so (Also, food? I could have sworn they did not eat).
The writing style for me is similar to watching a play, there is a lot of talking and action, but there is almost no mention of the surroundings. Not a critique, just something I noticed. I do like this story. It reminds me of Lindgren's The brothers Lionheart.
And yes, chain mail is very heavy. I wore it once for a day and when I took it off later that night I thought for a second I could jump high enough to touch the ceiling.
I really want to answer these questions, but I enjoy the benefit of having read where the story is going - so I'll let the next part of the tale speak for itself ^^
I thought I would post on the last one I can find, it seems you have gone rather silent both here and on twitter? Plus I have seen no work with the Lotus Eaters from you either? Do tell me you haven't given up and will be back soon into this new year? Looking forward to more of your and Creative Liberty's work
Hi! I know this page seems to have been quiet for a little while now, but I was wondering if I may be able to submit some writing? I'm not sure if Creative Liberty is still accepting admissions, but if it is could someone help me out? Thank you! 😊
I was wondering the same thing and that’s why I have been checking this page a few times recently, but I am afraid John has abandoned the project. He also used to have a website, but it’s now offline, so I don’t think he is returning. I would be very exited if he would come back and finish his Orion series, but I highly doubt it at this point, to be honest.
Perhaps you're right. It's a shame, but however short lived it was still good fun and has been encouraging. It's good to know that there are people out there who are passionate about story telling and reviving modern culture. Life doesn't always go to plan and I do sincerely thank John for his efforts and wish him success in whatever else he may be getting up to! Thanks so much for taking the time to reply. Incidentally I'm also a painter! Do you have any of your work online anywhere? I'd love to take a look? No worries if not though!
Yes, this project seemed very promising and everyone that commented was always enthusiastic about it. Who knows? Maybe John returns this year. That would be great!
Oh, nice 😊! What kind of stuff do you paint?
I paint with both acrylic paint and oilpaints, usually on linen or panels. My IG is @merula.esther.art. However, I did remove a lot of my old posts last year, so my page probably feels a bit “empty”. I am now working on a new series, which consists mostly stars, moons, planets and nebulae. I frequently show these new projects in my stories, but I haven’t really posted them yet. I am also working on a website. The site is practically ready, but I am waiting to finish a few more paintings before I launch it.
Your artwork is beautiful, you're very talented! I particularly liked the swan portrait ☺️ To paint nebulae sounds like quite the challenge, I wouldn't know where to begin! Good luck with your website too, I know there's a lot of work involved.
I also use oils and acrylics, and whatever else I have lying around really 😄 I mostly like to paint scenes from classic movies, but I also paint landscapes now and then.
I have a joint IG account @sketchbookstowaways recently started with my sisters.There are a few drawings of mine on it if you're curious, unfortunately none of my paintings yet though.
How nice that you share your hobby and your talent with your sisters! I am now following your page on IG and I am looking forward to maybe see some of your paintings one day 😇.
I really enjoyed the mystery and open ending of the first part. I found it fitting given that not much is known about what Saxons believed their afterlife looked like. There are many similarities to the Viking beliefs though, they had their influence everywhere at the time. Thanks for the cliffhanger, waiting eagerly for the next part now.
Hey, john! I messaged you a while back bout contributing to the political space that we both intersect. well I am proud to introduce to you the series of articles I have published on a political theory that I have called Nationalist Pragmatism, a theory that utilizes decentralized means to assert cultural heritage as well as the means to conduct direct actions to secure national sovereignty and autonomy!

Do you have any social media 😉?
Hi Merula, sorry for the delayed reply!
That would be great, we shall see I suppose! 🤞
