“Nyde Leif Freyrson”

Childhood

I was born July 12, 853 AD. When I was born I was thought to be a descendant of Freyr, the god whose weather and farming associations bring peace and pleasure to humanity. As a child I was often visited by farmers asking me to bless their farms and give them a successful year in growing their crops. By the time I turned 15 the word had spread about my blessing that I had farmers even from Norway who had managed to sneak all the way over here.

My first experience in war

I was 16 when I was told to go fight in a war against the Swedes, there was so much blood and death I felt so renewed and pure. We ended up winning the war and pillaged many villages along the way. After that war I knew that I would spend my life as a warrior fighting in as many battles as humanly possible

The day my life changed

When fighting in a battle a very great and bright light came from the sky and everybody stopped moving, but not me I was able to move. Then I saw a figure coming from the sky, I was not sure what it was Iðunn, he gave me an apple. Iðunn’s apples are said to grant eternal youthfulness. I ate the apple and thanked him non-stop, then he flew back into the skies. The battle continued and again we won that battle. To this day I look as if I have not even aged a year.
