Quote by Gaelen Foley

“Did you know Orkney was a favorite stop of Viking ships along their voyages?" "She's been at the almanac again," her sire said dryly. Rohan succumbed to a fond grin. "Our little bluestocking.”

And Vikings had been conquering bits of it, and Anglo-Saxons reconquering them again, for centuries, Conquering England doesn't look like that big deal at this point - in fact, it seems like one of the main things that happened in England since everyone forgot how to build villas.”

“He lowered his voice. "You are a true shield-maiden; you do not turn from a scar on a man's face."I looked at him and did not lower my eyes. "My father was an ealdorman, and his brother ealdorman after him. He taught me that a scar is the badge of honour of the warrior, and this I believe."He regarded me for a long moment. "I think I am glad we did not face your father and his brother in battle," he said, "for they were of better stuff than what we have found here."In saying this, he gave my dead kinsmen much praise. I felt that praise came rarely from the Danes, and took a strange pleasure in hearing him say this. I did not speak, but he lifted his cup to me, and I again took up mine. - Sidroc the Dane to Ceridwen”
