I had the worst weekend ever...I found out my addicted brother stole some of my medication. This has cheered me up so much...thank you so much.

I'm sorry to hear about your weekend. If Saga actually cheered you up a bit, I'm glad I hurried up and posted.

I have been out of town for a week, and checked every day to see if you had update Saga. I am so addicted to this story. It was like I had lost a friend and couldn't find them.
You have no idea how happy I was to see you had posted a new chapter. I was so worried about what Arna was going to do under the circumstances. Now on to read the rest. love jan

Tor's balls! Thank goodness Ragnvald was there. I thought this was Jaran's sad end. *sniff*

One of my favourite stories is back! This was such a powerful chapter.
Ragnvald really stepped up to the challenge like a true Norse would (when it was mentioned he roared like a berserker I knew one of the assailants wouldn't have a chance!).
Eoin is so brave and true, for a moment I dreaded the worse when he was wounded so viciously, and in general because they were always two against three.
What a moving detail, Eoin asking Ragnvald to make the cross sign over him, once again reinforcing Eoin's idea that his Christian God is watching over him and everything must happen for a reason.
I like how you described Ragnhild's kind and competent care, and how Eoin's good name and reputation made his recovery possible at Torgeirr's house.

I loved this passage:
They were cold and calculating, and met his unwaveringly. The attacker’s expression held neither malice nor hatred, just the firm determination get the job done quicklyas it showed the would-be assassins as people hired to do a job, simple as that, and who were presumably honourable ( ... )

Thank you! And I love that avtar. That's Eoin, if you ask me. :-)
