I am working on a short fictional story, told with a Saga/Epic type style. It's inspired by the Sagas of Ragnar Lothbrok which I read over the summer. It starts out with the great King Asger who rules and fights mightily, but doesn't die in battle. Would it make sense that he goes to Hel, but is received with a lavish feast by Hel? Further, the "narrator" in my story (think of them like the bard who'd tell this story) claims that if he had died in battle, Freya and Odin would have vied for him to enter their realms. Now I realize (at least from what I've read) that Freya chooses her slain first, and then Odin(?)--so they wouldn't exactly be vying. But perhaps it makes him sound just that much more remarkable? Or should I just leave that part out/change it?
Thanks! I like to use writing to learn sometimes
When it's finished, which will have to be by midnight tomorrow since it's a submission for my small liberal arts program's student works journal, I might remember to post it here
