Hmm, very strange indeed. Atnem had explained his dream to Oraia after theyd finished cleaning. I will look into it later tonight.
The three of them were in the tavern now. Atnem and Oraia were sitting at a table, waiting for the customers to arrive. Ferov was by the fireplace, playing chess against himself. He seemed to be losing.
Bah! Why is there no assassin piece in chess? Or a mage? All brute force. Not even a bloody archer. I dont see how they call it a strategy game, when all you do is rush in and bash skulls. Hey, stop laughing, Im serious! He lit a pawn on fire, and flung it
She knows of things untold, The assassin spoke, We were commanded by our master to silence her, by any means. Do not get in our way, or you shall die. He swung at Atnems face, missing by inches.
Who are you and who is your master?
We are the Shadow Knights. Our master has warranted her destruction, by Lord Thors command, as she has meddled in the powers of the universe.
Thor? Thor is a god of Midgard. Why do you worship false gods?
We do not look to Thor as a god. He is, however, a greater being. He maintains order in the galaxy by balancing chaos and stabi
Atnem kneeled with his head bowed. He was in a throne room. King Lug Lamfhota stood before him. Hibernias throne room? How did he get here?
King Lamfhota spoke, They have underestimated us this far. All according to plan. Soon, we shall rise in power. They will be overwhelmed by our force. Midgard seems a bit occupied in Albion at the moment. We shall begin there. They wont know what hit them.
Rise, my son. For we must prepare for the battles ahead. Rally the soldiers and gather at Druim Ligen. We shall head for the docks and attack by water.
Atnem didnt know what was going on. He stood, and lo
Atnem peered over the edge of the wall at his enemies. They were relentless. Chromys was barking orders to a troll three times his size. The troll obeyed, probably out of fear.
Midgard would definitely make it inside, there was no doubting that. There would be a bloody battle for the castle. He had to take out as many as he could.
He saw a Hunter on the ramparts in a flash of lightning. The Hunter had his bow aimed right at Oraia. She was too busy blasting at the enemies below to notice. He sprinted across the roof toward her. The Hunter released his shot as Atnem dove at Oraia. Both of them fell to the ground. Atnem took the shot in his
Good, then well head there now. They had made it back to Castle Sauvage and alerted the General. There were already defenses heading to patrol the coast, and troops were gathering to head to Caer Renaris. Thats where the three of them would be going.
Caer Renaris wasnt far from Castle Sauvage. Just Northwest, in the middle of the forest. It would definitely be hard for the Midgardians to take the keep, since it was so close to Castle Sauvage. If they succeeded, however, they would have a strong barricade to keep more of Albion from getting to the coast.
The warriors all gathered outside of Castle Sauvage. Al
What the hell am I doing here? was all Atnem could think. Lightning flashed in the cloudy midnight sky as the war ram smashed the keep gates open. Arthurs warriors stood ready for battle as the barbarians rushed through into the courtyard. Steel clashed against steel. The castle walls shone from the light of spells and fire. Suddenly, from out of nowhere, Atnem felt a sharp pain in his gut. He glanced down in time to see a dwarf, dressed in black, begin his killing blow.
Atnem sat up, drenched in a cold sweat, shaking. His red hair was wet from the sweat. It fell in front of his deep purple eyes. He had his mothers
So, there I was, surrounded by the ugliest trolls youll ever see. I stood tall as their axes cut through the air, aimed right for my skull. I dodged them, every last one! Then I.. Chromys was sharing his tall tales with the women in the tavern. They were hanging all over him. Atnem found it disgusting.
Chromys, Im going to head to the firing range. Chromys didnt miss a beat. He waved Atnem out, and continued with his stories.
Chromys was always good with the ladies. Atnem didnt want to admit it, but he did get a bit jealous at times. Hed had someone once, but that was a long time ago.
A print, a clue, anything. Ive got to find him. Hah! There, his footprints. Atnem had been searching around Camelot for some time, trying to find any trace of Chromys. Finally, hed gotten on his trail.
He followed the tracks through the countryside. All through Albion he ran, hoping to find his friend. After hours of running, he came upon Castle Sauvage, the final stronghold between Albion and its enemies.
Slowly, he walked through the huge keep gates. Slower still, he inched toward the other side. The guards were giving him strange looks. Obviously, they were wondering why someone with such low skill was venturin
Why did you do it? Run out there alone, I mean. You couldve been killed. Atnem finally broke the silence. They had been standing there for hours, long enough for the sun to have set, and the stars to have come out. The guards had even fought off a pack of coyotes hunting in the night.
After another long pause, Chromys replied. I cant tell you that. Its my problem. I dont want to drag you into it, too.
Atnem knew there was nothing he could say. This was the closest thing he would get to an answer, for now. So, they headed back to Camelot. They kept to the beaten path to avoid the bandit camp
They had me in an anti-magic tent. I couldnt do anything to escape while I was in there. But, its all okay now, thanks to you. Theyd made it back to Camelot with no other confrontations. Now, they were dropping the woman off at the Church to be treated. I can not thank you enough. Take these, please. She removed two rings, giving one to each of them. Theyre magical rings. They will increase your skills. The rings have other abilities too, but that depends on if you use them for good, or for evil. Good night. She left them in front of the church.
What a weird chick. Well, sha
Wh-who are you? At- The professors voice cracked, as he felt the cold metal of a guns barrel touch his forehead.
I am your shadow, your savior, and your end. May you leave this forsaken land and find yourself in a better place. The dark figure had appeared without a sound and had met no resistance. It pulled the trigger, releasing sudden death upon its prey.
I am Oro. Thats what they call me now, anyway. He reloaded his weapon with one bullet that seemed to glisten in the light, despite the room being totally engulfed in darkness. Its nothing personal, you know. I d
Help me! Atnem! Atnem stood in the middle of a flaming castle. Fire surrounded him. His exit was blocked by burning wood, but that wasnt his main worry.
Atnem! The voice kept calling his name. He ran up the stairs to the voice. He had to help, whether it was possible or not.
Help me, please! Oraias voice. She was in trouble. The fire seemed to engulf him, but he pressed on, regardless of his burns.
Atnem, wake up. The same voice, whispering now.
Wake up? Of course. Another nightmare. The fire faded away. He opened his eyes to see another pair looking back into hi
The graduates stood in the throne room. At the front of the room sat King Constantine. One by one, the men were called forward to be knighted.
Atnem Mackey! A royal knight called Atnems name. He approached the throne and kneeled before the king.
Constantine smiled down at Atnem. Ahh yes, Ive been expecting you. Atnem wondered what he meant by that. The king drew his sword and knighted Atnem.
Atnem Mackey. Scout and Protector of Albion. Bringer of peace.
Atnem rose and returned to the lineup. He watched as the rest of the men were knighted. Then, the guard made an announcement.

I hear thunder rolling in. We'll probably get a storm tonight.
I should probably go to sleep now.
