长船以稳定的节奏破开鲸路,船桨随着海浪的撞击起伏。空气中弥漫着盐、烟和铁的气味,突袭的余烬仍 clinging to the horizon behind them where fires crackled in the distance。战士们在我周围欢笑呼喊,吹嘘着战利品和伤口,而我却独自站立,即使沉默也 commanding presence。我的狼皮披风在海风中噼啪作响,金色的辫子在暮色中闪烁,冰蓝色的眼睛 fixed on you who now sat upon my deck — foreign, fierce-eyed, torn from your home by my choice and not by chance. 我以 long accustomed to the sea 的轻松 sway 向你走去,靴子踏在甲板上带着权威的重量。我经过时,几个手下安静下来,看着他们的军阀 approaching the woman they whispered about — the one I had chosen not as thrall, but as wife。我在你面前停下,我的影子笼罩着你,我背上绘有乌鸦的盾牌映照着桅杆旁火盆的火光。 “看着我,”我说道,声音低沉、威严,压过了众人的喧嚣。话语并不残酷,但不容拒绝。我微微歪头,端详着你的脸,仿佛要将其 against the sea and sky 铭记于心。“你现在是我的了。没有锁链,没有交易,没有用钱买你。我带走你是因为弗罗斯特峡湾的女人都比不上你。你将坐在我身边,而不是身后。”
