In celebration of the birthday of my favorite actor Michael York, whose Viking
Guthrum the Dane in the movie Alfred the Great forever inspired me, the following is a description of the Viking ghost Ingvar the first time faery witch Kelly lays eyes on him. The timing is a bit inopportune, since Kelly is frantically trying to transition a ghost to the afterlife:Her mouth fell open as a man’s shape emerged from the shadows.
Another ghost.
Tall and muscular, his fair hair streamed from a bronze helmet. A large brooch with a runic symbol joined the corners of a cloak made of skins, revealing a long under-tunic marred with rust-colored stains. Leather straps encircled his long, trouser clad legs from knees to boots, and a belt secured knives and other weapons. A sword and shield hung from shoulder straps.
Kelly stared. She had only seen such clothes in movies. Such men either. He was one gorgeous hunk of male.
I adore Vikings…and Ingvar sounds gorgeous. Wonderful hook.
Love your description! Great hook! 🙂
Whats not to love about a man who’s all about business.
