After the battle, They headed to the Hall where Olaf looks to the jarl sit and the people here him to sit on it so Olaf looks to his wife Astrid offers her his hand to which she smiles and takes it and move together to the chairs and they sat on their respective chair and heard the people cheer after which they allowed the people come before Olaf and swear their loyalty. The first was Leif who walked near knelt and held his arm ring and said 'Lord Olaf, I have come to swear to you my allegiance and fealty to you and your family from this day.' To which Olaf smiled and said 'Leif you re my friend,' he looked at the others who followed him and continued 'And you, Torstein, and you, Arne, you are my friends, and you who have come on the raid will be given what you deserve from the raid we did but not to worry as there will be more.' This led to more cheering.
After that it was an old man who came and stood before Olaf and his family who asked who he was to which the old man replied that he was tostig and that he swears his loyalty on his arm ring and that he had a request of his jarl Olaf to which got Olaf interested looked at him and said to continue, tostig looking at his jarl said 'That the next time you go raiding, you take me with you.' This made the people in the hall laugh but tostig went on 'But I have been a warrior all my life. Many years I sailed with lord kalv and fought battles against the Eastlanders, and I watched all the companions of my youth die. And though I fought with them in the shield-wall, never once was I touched by a blade. All the friends and companions of my youth are dead and feasting and drinking with the Aesir in the halls of the gods! While I... I am forsaken. Bereft. Which is why, I beg you, lord, gift me the chance to die with honor in battle, and join my friends in Valhalla.' Olaf looked at him stood up and said 'you have my permission to join us on the next raid,' this led to the people clapping for the both of them and Olaf looked around and said 'This summer, we shall have more ships to go west, for that is our future.'
Then he looked at one of the men and said 'make sure that the previous jarl gets a burial at sea,' and then dispersed the crowd while he got with his children and telling them that the monk ethewold would be their slave and told them to take him and look at their new home,when they left he looked to his wife and started 'I found the west,' to which she's smiled I knew you would,am surprised it took you so long,' the comment made Olaf laugh and looked at her and said ' it a land called England we raided it was great,' this made Astrid look at her husband and said 'we can talk about this later in bed,what I want to know is why you want that man as slave?' This lead story Olaf smiling and he said ' that man can speak our language, he has provide me with information about the west,' this led to Astrid looking at Olaf and saying 'I see and you will use him to learn more?' To which Olaf nodded and continued 'we know nothing about this land and from what he told me there is more than just England in the west so he will be valuable for the information and helping me understand how they live and think that way fighting them and talking lands form them will be easier.'
