Asbjorn The Sailor
Posted: Fri Jul 17, 2020 11:49 pm
Asbjorn was thinking of his parents while he was drifting along with the current, about his fathers awesome tale where he killed 10 trolls singlehandely or about his mother whos quick jaw would as easily get her into trouble as out of them. As he laid there thinking about them he felt sad that he never got to meet them and that he never got the awesome power of shape-shifting his father had or his mothers quick mouth.
You see his father was a beorning and his mother was from Laketown, they meet one night when his father Bjarni was in Laketown for supplies. His mother Asa was a waitress in the local inn and was being harassed by some mercenarys looking for work of course she didnt let them do as they pleased. The words that came out of Asas mouth would make the most hardend sailor red with shame and you could see the mercenarys furious faces when they started to get up to get revenge. Asa that quickly realised her problem was about to fix it when Bjarni stepped in and put his massive hand on two of the mercenarys shoulders and forced them to sit down again. "Now i really want to have a nice and quiet evening tonight" Bjarni said with a rumbling voice that could make Sauron shiver.
Asa who had lived in Laketown her whole life was taken aback by the help from the giant man, she had never gotten help from people in Laketown before because they saw it as she deserved it with a mouth as her. Bjorni looked at her nodded and walked back to his table, the mercenaries got out of thare as fast as they could and Asa smiled and thought perfect thats the man im going to marry. A little more than a year had gone by in a flash when a strange man was knocking on the door to their cabin and was asking if this was the house of Bjarni The Mountain.
He was a Dunedain ranger that had come to collect on a promise Bjarnis father had made him, Bjarnis father had promised that his first born son would follow the ranger west to help protect Eriador its enemies because he had saved Bjarnis mother. Asa knew that Bjarni would fulfill the promise his father had made to the ranger and convinced him that she was going too and with her quick mouth Bjarni stood no chance. So with the ranger as a guide they started heading towards the forest Eryn Vorn in south of Erindor becouse the rangers job was too watch over the entrace to the baranduin river so that no pirates from the south could sail up the river without being seen. As they where closing in on Lond Daer one night they where ambushed by ten hill trolls, Bjarni with lightning reflexes turned into a giant bear and charged the trolls. The ranger knew that this was going to end badly so he forced Asa to run with him while Bjarni charged the trolls, the ranger knew that this was exactly what Bjarni wanted him to do even if it stung his heart to do so. Later that night the ranger silently returned to try and save his friend although he knew this was unlikely, when he got to the spot he couldnt belive his eyes around the spot was thorn up trolls all ten of them.
Up against a three was his big friend with big gashes across his body and the corossive blood of the trolls eating away at his arms. Bjarni started coughing and out of the forest Asa came running, Bjarni started talking "Sorry ranger i cant fulfill the promise my father made to you but my child whos growing in my beautiful wife stomach will". Asa and the ranger buried Bjarni on a hill overlooking Lond Daer and the story of a mighty beorning was known to all Dunedain there after. Asa knew that fulfilling the promise would help her husband in the next life so she followed the ranger home where she gave birth to a giant boy but due to complications she was dying, she told the ranger to name him after his father and his mother.
More to come.
