The deer in Sherwood Forest, Kent and along the east coast of Brittany watched as Viking ships landed in Sutton Hoo, near Woodbridge, Suffolk. The site of two 6th- and early 7th-century cemeteries showed helmets with animal icons firmly engraved into their stellar metals.. One cemetery contained an undisturbed ship-burial, including a wealth of Anglo-Saxon artifacts but along with that came Vikings with boat full of kitties. Vikings gave kitty gifts to the locals. The first pillage involved skipping the village and going straight for the wealth of the church. The villages let them do it 100 years. Then back in Scandinavia the land ran out and young men had no place to go except the sea. They landed back in Brittany except this time they became merchants, traders, and married local women. The deer watched carefully. To be chased by a set of Scandinavians seemed a problem. Alas when they came instead of eating the deer they followed and learned their ways. As time rolled by Scandinavians married well and became part of the royal family. The lands the precious deer lived on the royalty became their protectors and played along with them enjoying all the forest had to offer. Improving the properties lead to many delights and the royals had a place to hide from other royals who wished to take that which was not theirs. The deer knew all the hidden places that no one can find. They would take them there for frolicking and fancy. The sound of water, wind, and deer snorts and bellows filled the royal's head making them laugh. The play in sunbeams, in the ancient trees, grass, and stone put the royals in touch with the shires they once played in as children. Sutton Hoo royalty rose and fell but they learned many lessons from the deer. They remained in the royal positions in ways that deer had taught. There but unnoticed until needed. The Viking forest spirit ever guards, ever gives, ever watches over the land of the deer ensuring that spirit remains when all others dissipate.
