Grandpa Arnulf and Grandma Biruta

"For the past and for the future".

An old saying from the Southern Isles' says, that there are two kinds of Westergaards: those who descend from Odin (smart ones) and those who descend from Thor (strong ones). Unfortunately, sometimes a Wild Card is drawn - Westergaard, who's appearance in this world was evidently caused by Loki.

Of course, Hans is in this prestigious group, but the original Loki's Changeling was Arnulf Vestergaard, aka Grandpa Arnulf.

Grandpa Arnulf lived circa 900 years ago. He was the youngest of 7 brothers - hated them all passionately. So one day, when he was 21 years old, he took his friends, they stole his father's drakkar and set sails for the North, ready to gain gold and Viking's glory.

After a few weeks they've arrived to the place later known as Arenfjord. And they found out that the jarl's daughter just turned in age and they are looking for a husband for her. Arnulf was already happy to escape his father and brothers, but if there is a chance to be a jarl? Sign him up! The only thing he needs to do is to marry some gal and then, well... she shouldn't be an obstacle, but if she is...

Does it ring a bell?

But.

BUT.

There is a something. Grandma Biruta was smart, suspicious and was one of the most dangerous warriors future Arendelle has ever seen. She was feral. Feral to the point when a history was too embarassed of her to actually put her in textbooks. She raided through all the neighbourhood' lands and ravaged them all. Everyone who knew her, knew that no one should ever mess with Biruta.

Well, too bad Arnulf didn't know her.

When Hans learned about what happpened later he stated that he doesn't have even one original experience in his life.

But, but!!!

Grandma Biruta had her priorities set a liiitle different than her granddaughters 800 years later. So when their "guests" from the South, beaten mercilessly, were already tied to their drakkar and ready to be sent back home, she came. She approached Arnulf, tied to a mast and with his mouth gagged, slapped him across the face so hard she nearly broke his nose and told him, that... admittedly, this plan was pretty smart. She saw through it right away, but still, clever. She can use this kind of ambition and cunning. So there is a proposition he must not turn down... unless, of course, he really wants to see his dear ol' papa again and, probably, end up with his lungs in a slightly different place that they used to be.

The offer stands: next day, at dawn, drakkar and crew ready. You help me take down those idiots from across the fjord as I have promised them some time ago.

Well. She didn't have to ask twice.

So when Biruta's warriors had untied them and Arnulf was sure there are only brighter days ahead of him - she punched him again. So hard he rolled out of the drakkar and fell into the water. Does it ring a bell?

Biruta then leaned over the ship and told him that the previous slap was for the past and this one was for the future. And if he has even a single braincell in that thick skull of his, he is not going to betray her trust ever again.

She didn't have to repeat herself. Ever.

They ended up happily married till their joint death in a great, big battle which every Viking would kill to be killed in. It would put them on a fast track to Valhalla, but... well, that's another story.

And even though they were both erased from history's books, their legacy stands - an Arendellian custom says, that if someone has done you a great wrong but you want to forgive them, while still being just, you can slap them across the face, two times - for the past and for the future. Then you both let it go forever.

Note from Lars: Vikings DIDN'T wear helmets with horns.

Note from Hans: Our grandpa did and he is awesome!
