Moonpetal Garden, home of the Land Spirits
Aurora stands in front of Thalindra
"Why would we bring forth our existence in this forth and bring harm towards the home we have managed to keep safe for hundreds of years, Queen Thalindra of Makar? After all you aren't the only Queen in Odal." Speaks the Queen of Land Spirits, Aurora
"Well my dear, Aurora the war after it either levels Odal or Odal falls in the hands of Cath will not allow any Queen to be Qyeen. That even goes for the ancient Land Spirit Queen." Replies Thalindra
"Hmm. Wise words for such a young lady made Queen. Tell me though Queen of Makar, what if Makar wins? What will your husband,the Skull King do?" Says Aurora, Queen of the Land Spirits
"I may be young but I've been watching my father's council meetings to know enough. And I know that Cath leaves no one to spare unless you serve him and you will not bend your knee to him. This much I do know" says Thalindra
"Is that all you know?" Replies Aurora
And in response Thalindra says "No, I also know you and your Garden of Land Spirits stand no chance defeating Cath"
Meanwhile somewhere in Odal, Mista clashes with the Jötnar Myrkr
"Come on girl show me the Metnaðr that defeated Matchitehew" says Myrkr as he clashes steel with Mista
A swing at the legs of Myrkr and Mista misses Myrkr's legs and in return Myrkr strikes Mista at her throat but she evades a death blow but then drops to her back and uses her Metnaðr and points it at Myrkr shooting her blades out of her sheath but Myrkr swings his blade and counters the attack launched by Mista by knocking her blade projectiles out of the way
"Nice try. Your Metnaðr is fascinating. Blade Manipulation, yes? Let's see if it can contend with mine." Says Myrkr
It's then as Myrkr stabs his blade into ground
"Metnaðr: Blade Deliverance" says Myrkr as he drops into a portal and vanishes and the portal as well
Mista looking around for Myrkr "Where did that Chaos POS go off to?" She asks herself
And behind her an portal opens and with great speed Myrkr appears out of it and lands a slicing strike on her cheek
"It looks like my Metnaðr may be more superior, girl. As is my skills bladesmen. So are you ready to give up then?" Says Myrkr to Mista
Mista wipes the her cheek of the little blood Myrkr drew with his blade attack and says "Over a paper cut slash, please."
Both engage one another once again in a bladed dual. Who will prevail?
Meanwhile back at Makar, Malakas sets to take off to the home of the Revenants called The Cave
"I wish you luck brotha." Says Masaru
"Me? You're the one without a Kingsguard, brotha" replies Malakas
"I'll be fine. Plus I have Fenrir here if it really gets that bad."
"Well it better make haste. Ahhhh" Malakas says as he rides off on his mount oitnof Makar
A few hours into his ride Malakas reaches the Ash Woods. The Ash Woods are known as woods full of a burnt environment after a battle between two separate groups went dark many years ago. Beyond the Ash Woods lies The Cave. The Cave wasn't just a cave it was a cave that reached far into the ground serving as an entire nation for Revenants.
As Malakas rides through the Ash Woods, red eyes watch. Malakas's mount starts to get uneasy as he gets closer to The Cave. Malakas gets off his horse and flees his horse away. Malakas walks in the muddy path leading to The Cave and it's then he hears noises. Noises bas if someone is following him from the distance as he hears the branches og what is left of the burnt trees crack and break.
With his hands up Malakas shouts "Dagr!!!! It's me!!!! Malakas!!!! I come in peace!!!!"
A Revenant comes dashing from The Cave and jumps out The Cave and off the ledge of the cave perch and lands right in front of Malakas and it is revealed to be none other than, Dagr himself.
"So you finally return Malakas" says Dagr with a grin
"Yeah, I told you I'd return. Didn't I?" Replies Malakas
"That was 3 years ago though!" Says Dagr
"Sorry I got busy old pal!" Replied Malakas "but it seems you have taken on new role amongst your clan. All around me are now kneeling. Why? Are you in charge around here nowadays?"
"You called it. I am now King of Revenants!" Shouts Dagr "What brings you all this way though?" Then Dagr asked Malakas
"War is coming to your cave, Dagr. Actually to all of Odal. I've come to seek your help anf offer my aid to The Cave" replies Malakas
"I understand the actions of those outside The Cave, Malakas. 3 years and you don't show your face and you come back asking for a favor?!" Says Dagr
"I offer my Kingdom's aid too, Dagr! I don't come here just asking for a favor! You're my friend and before Cath makes his way to you, all I want to prevent that confrontation and prepare all for the war that will most likely destroy most of Odal! The Cave will be part of Cath's carnage, if we don't unite. His forces are growing stronger than ever probably at this point strong enough to take Odal. You will fail without aid, Dagr!" Yells Malakas at Dagr and the rest of The Revenants
Dagr looks at Malakas with anger and says "Lock him up for now"
"No Dagr, please! Listen to reason!" Says Malakas
Dagr replies "I have to think on this. Trusting others is what caused the fall of the Woods and made us this. You'll have your answer by morning, Malakas. Until then though I must keep a eye on you."
Malakas is taken off to a cell and thrown in the cell by some Revenants
Meanwhile in the Moonpetal Garden
Thalindra and Aurora come to a negotiation
Thalindra rides off on her mount back to Makar
"What was the negation, mother?" Asked Aurora's daughter Willow
Aurora replies to her daughter "Thalindra promised the protection of Moonpetal Garden"
Willow then asked "How?"
And Aurora response is "Under the Protection of the Children of Fenrir, Sköll and Hati. We also now align ourselves under the Makar banner."
Thalindra riding on her mount smiles in hope as she rides to deliver the news to Malakas
Meanwhile back at the fight between Mista and Myrkr
Portals open left and right as Myrkr pops out of them at great speed slashing at Mista who now has multiple slashes all over body but is still standing
"You're a strong one" says Myrkr as he goes through another portal and continues the assault
Mista whispers to herself "This guy's Metnaðr is such a pain. I can barley keep my eyes open. Daddy I need you. Ever since you left, I haven't been the same."
*Flashback*
When Mista was a little girl she'd spar with wood swords with her father Magnus. The clashing of woods swords clank as little Mista pretends to be a warrior with family fighting her father. And up in the air a wood sword goes. "You lose" says Magnus and a crying little Mista is revealed as Mangus hugs her and says "it's okay my little warrior one day you will be the greatest with a blade." A comforted little upset Mista hugs her father tight and says "I love you Daddy." Magnus replies with the same words "I love you my little Mista"
Back to the present
"Thanks for believing me, father" Mista tells herself as she opens her eyes feeling all the pain from the lighting fast speed attacks from out of Myrkr's portals.
And the clash of steel again
"What impossible are were you able to block that?! No one has ever blocked one of my attacks from my Portal!" Says Myrkr as his blade is against Mista's battling for the upper hand
"Block this Cath's boy toy!!!!" Says Mista and it's then Mista balls up her fist and punches Myrkr right in the face
Myrkr is gets sent flying a few feet back and lands on his back. Blood is drawn as Myrkr gets up and wipes the blood off his mouth.
"I'm actually impressed, girl. So I'll do you this favor. Go home to Makar. And tell your King, we plan to launch the Odal sized attack in six months time. So hold your family close. Hold your friends near. Once it starts you won't be able to do a thing but watch your beloved Makar fall. And you will watch your King suffer!" Says Myrkr
Mista gets on her mount, wounded taking the chance to leave and deliver this news to the others no matter how much she wants to stay and end the life of Myrkr.
"Damnit! Damnit! Damnit! I wanted to kill such a threat but I must warn my brother." Mista tells herself as she races on her mount to Makar
