A little piece of heaven

by SirGhirahim

Ragnar dies and goes to Valhalla but he can not enter because he has unfinished business and his soul is sent back to earth until he can find what is keeping him there. Centuries pass and he thinks he's finally found what he's been looking for after seeing a boy who looks a lot like Athelstan. Modern AU.

1. Chapter 1

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot. Please don't sue me I'm poor.

Pain all Ragnar could feel was pain, His latest conquest has ended in failure, He was captured and sentence to death. He was thrown down into a snake pit as people watched him being bitten to death. Bite after bite sent venom that burned like fire through his veins, it blurred his vision and he heard ringing in his ears when he eventually he collapsed to the floor. His last thoughts before taking his final breath were of his family and friends that were waiting for him in Valhalla. He also thought of Athelstan poor Athelstan who should have still been at his side. Ragnar thought of all he would regret.

'I will never see Bjorn become a better man'

'I will never she Porunn give birth to Bjorn's sons'

'I will never see Ubbe, Hvitserk, Sigurd, Ivar, Magnus or Siggy grow up at all'

'I will never see what will become of my village and my kingdom'

'What of Lagertha, Aslaug and Kwenthrith'

'And Athelstan...I never told him how much I loved him'

With this final thought Ragnar's breath stopped and his souls journey to Valhalla began.
