Ludens,

You are right, although I think the Chapter before was even weaker.

When I started the story I wanted to work out why they started their migration. That is done and it is o.k.. I also have a clear concept about the end. However, now I stuck in the middle. I do not want to describe every battle in detail and I guess I have lost the characters somewhere. Last chapter was my attempt to get back to the roots. I wanted to get Gunnar acting again and I wanted to connect to the Germanian myths. Of course most of it is stolen from the Nibelungen. The last chapter is small. In fact it should be the introduction of a bigger one, the invasion of Noricum. Maybe things get better once I cross the Danuba.
