It sounds like a nice place...

The life, freedom,....death of Fortu the ex pit fighter.

During my journey back with Fortu I shared many evenings chatting and teaching the scared pit fighter. I was always reminded that he was not un-intelligent but rather un-taught. He would pick things up quickly and question when he needed clarification. Due to his initial limited vocabulary we would be talking at crossed purposes; he told me that he hoped that eventually he would go to a place called Vale harbour. I was intrigued as although I consider my self well travelled, I'd never heard of the place. He insisted that many a gladiator when entering battle would cry out Vale harbour beckons, he said it was a place where those who died in battle were taken to spend their eternity drinking and feasting with the gods. It took a moment for me to finally realise he meant Valhalla.
