Mista on her mount racing to Makar remembering what Myrkr said "You will watch your King suffer" it keeps ringing in her head
"I must hurry. Ahhh, make haste Ragnar!" Mista says to her horse
Times passes and Mista makes to Makar by morning
Guards at the gate see a mount in great hurry
"Open the gate! It's Mista! It's me Mista! Open the fucking gate!!!"
Guard 1 at the gate says "What?!" Looking at the other guard
Guard 2 replies "I can't hear that person any better than you"
Mista gets closer "Open the fucking gate you twats!!!" She yells
Guard 2 says "Oh shit, it's the Kingsguard Commander"
The guards open the gate
As the gates open Masaru is seen talking to Victor and both stop as they see Mista tide in in a rushed panic state of mind
"Six months brother! Six months!"
Says Mista as she unmounts Ragnar
"What are you talking about? Says Masaru
""And where is the rest of your party?" Says Victor
"Killed by a Jötnar. I was warned after he gave me a beating. I wanted to end such a threat right then and there but I had to warn you. We must ready Makar and all our allies brother!" Says Mista in a panic
Masaru replies "Send a Raven to Lorien Doriath, we must prepare them! Mista make sure you tend to your wounds! And ready your legion of bladesmen, Victor!"
Victor says "What about Malakas? He as not yet returned."
Masaru replies as he walks away "I'm not worried I'm counting on his return and am faithful he will bring us the upper hand in this war"
Masaru enters his chamber and sees his wife, Queen Thalindra
"Thalindra?" Says Masaru
"Husband" she responded
"What is the status of the Moonpetal Garden?" Asked Masaru
Thalindra replies "They are with us if we can grant the protection."
"Seems easy enough, yes?" Masaru says
"They want to be under the of protection Sköll and Hati" says Thalindra
"And you already made this negation? I'm assuming." Says Masaru
"Yes, husband. There was no other way. I dealt with a very combative Aurora but that's why you sent me, right?" Asked Thalindra to her husband Masaru
"I suppose so. I just didn't think they'd want Sköll and Hati." Replied Masaru
"We have to make some tough calls right now, my love." She says to Masaru as she hugs him and then says "All of this will be over once Cath falls, my King" then kisses him
And Masaru returns the favor with similar passion of his own...
Meanwhile in Fagerheim at gørsemi Mountain
In the throne room of the mountain sitting upon the sit of the King is Fáfnir
All of Fagerheim arrive at gørsemi Mountain to pledge, their loyalty to Fáfnir now King of gørsemi Mountain and Fagerheim
Multiple have done so and one Dwarf comes up and says to Fáfnir "I can't pledge my loyalty to you. Actually I won't. I refuse to do so!"
Fáfnir says "Oh is that so?"
The Dwarf says with no fear in his face "You killed King Hreidmar!!! You fucked off little brat!! I will never kneel to -"
The Dwarf is cut off as Fáfnir burns the Dwarf. The Dwarf screams, as all watch with fear.
"Listen up all who watch this Dwarf burn! I now possess the power of Chaos! Gifted to me by the South Kingdom of Odal! Unless you possess the Aetheric Flame of Malakar you cannot escape it! If you you fail to pledge your loyalty to me, this is your fate! We now are allied with The South as well and will fight for them as they prepare for the upcoming with Makar!!! You will fight or die!!!! Now bring forth more to pledge their loyalty to me!!! Says Fáfnir laughing
Bolverkr looks on with a grin and walks away puts his hood on
Meanwhile at The Cave
Malakas sits in his cell awaiting Dagr decision
Dagr approaches and let's Malakas out of his cell and they walk and talk towards the another part of The Cave
"I've reached a decision, my friend" says Dagr
"And that is?" Malakas replies and then looks ahead as he reaches the part of The Cave Dagr has taken him to and sees a crowd of people. A stadium of some sort and says to Dagr "What is this?"
Dagr replies "This where we hold our special events just like your Jousting Tournament"
"And what does this have to do with me and why are your Revenants here?" Says Malakas
Dagr grabs Malakas shoulder and lifts him off the ground and they go flying and land in stadium
"You see my people believe in only fighting for those who are only stronger than or as strong as us. So I must test you. Why? I made such a policy. And since your King is not here you'll have to do, my friend." Says Dagr to Malakas
Malakas responds "If that is what it takes to gain this alliance so be it. I must confess though my friend in that case I won't hold back."
Dagr smiles in response
A Revenant walks up and speaks "All whom have joined the stadium today will witness a mere human whom will take on thy King of thy Revenants the Great Dagr. If thy mere human may hold his own or best our King we the Revenants will fight for him and his Kingdom. Now let the fight begin" he says with enthusiasm
Dagr and Malakas engage in hand-to-hand combat
"You're trained well, Malakas"
"I can say the same, Dagr"
Both throwing punches at each other but each and every attack from the other is either countered or blocked.
"Metnaðr: Aetheric Flame" says Malakas as he creates a flame ball fist of Aetheric Flame and as he tries to connect with a palm fist attack but Dagr kicks Malakas's hand putting out the flame. Malakas in some disbelief looks at Dagr and big eye Malakas becomes his face as he gets knocked back with a kick from Dagr to his gut.
"Good one, Dagr. You were always good at defense but still were never able to beat me. Remember that?" Malakas asked Dagr as he smiles after getting back up from Dagr's kick
And all of sudden Dagr is gone and appears behind him and says "That may change this time, my friend." As Dagr speed blitz Malakas hitting with a devastating back fist sending Malakas flying back yet again
Dagr lays down in the middle of the fight on his side doing the sexy pose as he says "C'mon Malakas you have definitely fallen off, my friend!" And even yawns after saying it
"Ughhhh you son of a whore" Malakas says as he gets up from another attack from Dagr. Malakas looks at Dagr jokikg around and sends a flame ball his way and in doing so knocks Dagr back interrupting his posing and show off time.
"It's no joking matter, you pale fuck!" Yells Malakas as he charges and jumps at Dagr "Metnaðr: Aetheric Flame" fists come down on Dagr. Dagr takes the damage from Malakas until he has had enough and it is then Dagr takes up another form. A stronger form and knocks Malakas off him.
Every one of Dagr's Revenants are in disbelief and many talk amongst themselves and say "It's happened again. What is this form? No one has pushed him this far since his fight with Dante." As some of them have seen this form and some haven't
Dagr stands up as black and red wings spread apart from his back. His body black and red as well with a tough like outer layer of skin. Strong enough to protect him from almost anything and everyone.
Dagr charges at Malakas grabs him by his face with one hand and lifts up to the air as they flying up Dagr raises Malakas and throws him to the ground with devastating impact
Dagr flies back down to Malakas and hits him with a double stomp landing both of his feet right into Malakas with more impact causing Malakas to bleed out his mouth
Dagr picks Malakas up by his head and says "Have you had enough yet? Do you yield?"
In response Malakas says smiling away but beaten "Is that all you got, ya pussy" and then spits in the face of Dagr
Dagr grins and says "Now that is the Malakas I remember" and headbutts Malakas cracking his skull. Dagr walks away and says "Get up and let's finish this so I can decline you"
Malakas struggling to get to his feet yet he does holding his hand shaking himself off and wiping the blood from his face says "You have come far buddy, real far but it's still not good enough."
Dagr looks at him and then his people and laughing pointing at Malakas "C'mon man look at you you have lost. One more brutal attack from me and you're finished."
Malakas replies "You used a special form to beat me to this extent mind you that was not happening without it so let me ask you this what if I used a special form of my own to combat yours?"
To be continued...
