"Pardon.. how much do you want for this basket of these red vegetables?.." I say to an blonde-hair'd 'modestly' handsome man.. selling his wares at the 'farmers-market' on the side of the 'dirt' path winding through the village of Oxford..

As I see a basket of 'chili' peppers.. I've been looking for any kind of 'peppers' for a long time.. ever since I could make my first 'trip' to Oxford.. since I've started coming to Oxford.. and finally I found 'peppers'.. I really didn't want to have to make the trip.. all the way to Eoforwich.. before I was ready.. and had plenty of 'coin' and the 'means' to protect.. said 'coin'.. after I have those things.. I'll be going there soon.. within the year 'fa-sho'..

"M'lord.. I found these.. near a 'tree-line'.. at the 'foot' of a hill.. where'eth.. the most 'crystal' clear of creeks.. was passing through the lands.. bringing 'life-blood'.. of the 'utmost' pure 'vitality.. to the soils spreading across the 'grounds'.. 'creating' the perfect environment.. for these here 'heavenly' plants to grow.. I've never seen plants like these.. these are so 'hot' they'll warm you right up even in the 'coldest' of weather.. M'lord if you don't believe me taste one.. all I ask for is three silver 'shillings'.. a good deal it is.. young lord.." the obvious charlatan said..

"Hmm.. I'm no 'young' lord.. my 'eloquent' of tongue friend.. very nice 'spiel' you just gave me.. describing these 'peppers'.. as if they were sent to you by the gods themselves.. respect.. I know another 'actor' when I see one.. so be it.. three silver 'shillings' it is then.. my name is Aethred.. what's yours friend?.." I asked the 'blonde-hair'd' man..

"Thank you m'lord.. you are a welcome 'reprieve'.. from the 'poverty-stricken' status I have found myself in.. I am known by some as Charleyth.. also known as Charleyth the 'poet'.. it is an absolute 'pleasure' making your 'acquaintance'.. my newest 'friend'.." the 'poet' answers my question.. makes sense.. I knew with the way he 'spoke'.. I knew he had a story to him..

"Well here's your silver Charleyth.. it was 'splendid' meeting you.. and thanks for the 'peppers'.. if you find anymore.. come here again.. I'll find you.." I told him..

"Of course.. sounds good friend.. it was nice meeting you young Aethred.. I wish you well on your travels my friend.. if you will excuse me.. I have to find a man.. to talk about a 'dog'.. 'splendid' rest of the day to you Aethred.. may the gods alway be with you friend.. good day friend.." he finished telling me so he could hurry to the closest 'gambling-den'.. I could tell an 'gambling-addict' with 'practised' ease.. I've had my fair share of battles with addiction.. thank the gods.. my hands.. don't shake non-stop in this life..

I figure I got enough of everything I wanted to find in Oxford.. time to head on back to the farm.. pushing my 'wheel-barrel' I made recently.. filled with my 'purchases' for the day..

***Aethred's Home-Stead***

/pov MC/

"What are these Aethred?.. why do they 'smell' so 'strong'.. can you eat them just like this..?" Brunhilda was saying as she started.. to try a bite of one of the 'chilis' I had acquired in Oxford earlier in the day..

"Stop!.. hahah.. these are very 'hot' they'll burn your tongue and mouth if you just bite into one.. they are meant to be cooked with other things.. they add a 'spicy' taste to things.. they make all kind foods taste 'amazing'.. trust me will we have something called 'hot-pot'.. for supper tonight.. you'll love it.. you'll see.." I tell her stopping her from eating the 'pepper'.. saving her from a 'burnt' mouth.. and 'swollen' tongue..

I've been excited to try out my newly 'upgraded'.. 'level' three.. cooking skill.. I feel like I know how to cook a 'state' banquet.. all I would need is the ingredients.. and an kitchen with all the 'amenities'..

Ragnar's Hall

/pov MC/

"Aethred.. I'll be leaving after this winter is over.. before spring is here.. Ubba and Guthrum plan to go 'plunder' the city of Lundene.. across the Mercian border on the Thames.. we will go 'kill' a few 'kneelers'.. then they will pay us to leave.. we will raid other places for the next couple of years.. then when the people of Lundene.. have built their 'property' back up.. we will go back and do it all again.. would you like to come with me.. I could use your help.. it will be my first time 'raid-ing' without my father with me.. I've seen the way you handle your bow.. spear.. and 'throwing-knives'.. I would make you my third-in-command.. only below me and my second.. Harund my 'ship-master'.. we got the ship already 'de-barnacled' and ready for the trip to the river Thames.. what say you little brother?.. want to come with me?.." Ragnar the 'younger' asks me.. to which I give a 'maniacal' smile..

"Hahaha asking Aethred the 'mad'.. if he wants to go 'raid-ing'.. is like asking if Freja's cunt is 'majestic?.. of bloody course it is.. and of bloody course Aethred wants to go sailing and 'raid-ing'.. hahahah.. when do we 'sail'?.. I finished saying.. in my most 'mad' of 'demeanors'..
