“Then my sentence remains death and I will take it.’ Freydis said. ‘As a skjoldmoy, with a battle-axe in my hand. But I will make Valhalla a place on earth before it happens. I will make Vinland the gates to all of the Nordic Empire and they will be open for all eternity to those persecuted by these one-God heathens, wherever they may be.” VikingsGreenlandVikingNewfoundland HistoryFreydis EiriksdottirVinland Saga Book:Spirits of the Ice Forest Source: Spirits of the Ice Forest
“The Pale Ones are demons,’ Wobee said. ‘Does your fire crackle with the tears of Mammasumit’s family? Does it sing to you the screams of his women as they were set upon and taken as slaves? Come more Pale Ones. Come enough that they cover the ocean. If the Great River runs red, it will be with their blood and mine.” Native AmericanVikingsVikingNewfoundland History Book:Spirits of the Ice Forest Source: Spirits of the Ice Forest
