Chapter 4: 4-Departing Trial
>Big Shout Out to (Gabby_Luna) for Dropping the first review on this book) This chapter is for you..
The view from the bottom was dark and lone torches placed atop a hill in a circle and a shorten figure drenched in sweat and panting rapidly.Winter came to norwik and the intensity of grindall's training increased, draka who had not died from the wounds and damaging shocks had enlisted the towering shaman as his teacher for the last 6 mouths he was taught important's of the gods and the weight they carry, with battle training grindall inflicted a different level of physical pain into the eleven year old. The midnight drills where the hardest on draka as he was met with constant pain and exhaustion and his mind swelled revenge for his dead mother and sister.
"Strike"
grindall shouted
"Strike"
Grindall laid into him him each time draka arms dropped below his instructions as if he was in a crowded battle.

"Clank"
"Clank"
The pommel of a sword dug into a wooden table and the room of arguing warriors quieted down and all attention turned to the pondering man at the head of the table; Kollton stared outward at his war council sharply with discontent "IT'S BEEN 6 MOUTHS AND NUN OF YOU HAVE FOUND OUT WHO INVADED MY LAND AND KILL MY BROTHER" Kollton face turned deadly as he shouted it out with the intent to kill someone.
"Jarl!!" a warrior dressed in brightly lit silks and a cheesy smile
"What is it commander Skurfa"
eye's locked kollton had found his target to kill in the moment
"I may have something but...
Swoosh an axe flew through the air lodging it self into the table and the shock launched the room into a profound laughter.
"Stand commander skurfa" Kollton twitched with an unfazed look, the room sharply quieted down and skurfa came to his feet slowly.
"Now do you have something to say commander skurfa" he dusted himself off and eyed the jarl down with the intent to kill.
"I am your humble warrior thyne Jarl" he lowered head seeming to comply
"My scouts have faint reports of rushing raids up and along our norwik coast, Lytinya is on the move again"
"Blam" Kollton fist lodge itself into the wooden long table
"Lytinya was beaten back countless times in the previous war raids; they would not dare" kollton erupted in anger
"Jarl im only reporting the information"
The room became pitch silent and all eye's on turned to kollton who had his mind rushing at the newly information.
"Captains Hrani & Gellir brigade 4 and 5; take them and patrol our western border do not betray the trust of clan Vogsson!!!"
"Understood Jarl Kollton" the two captains kneel'ed and exited the room
"The Rest of you get raiding preparations on the way" the room roared and they all tumbled out of the Longhouse hall..
______________________________________________
Master and pupil locked in and intense sparing match
"Strike!!"
The momentum of there being controlled by grindall
"Strike!!"
The two shutting out the world and all it's distractions
"Blam" grindall's blade slipped through and slit the face of draka as he fell with a face full of disbelief "Whats with that face you think you had been getting better boy" grindall scoofed at the jittering boy on the floor. "Stand up now, Never show fear to an enemy I am your enemy and not your friend, to over come this land you must overcome me now STAND!!" Grindall pointed his sword and shouted at him.
Draka rose to his feet and gripped his sword and they where back at it again flowing into the rise of the next day. The sound of the rising drums sounded off in the town and the rise of it's people roared out. The two came up after the noise reached there ears and so they stopped, the eshaughted draka tumble over himself and fell to the floor as he saw his master kneed down and began praying..
"Lo there do I see my father; Lo there do I see my mother and my sisters and my brothers; Lo there do I see the line of my people, back to the beginning. Lo, they do call to me, they bid me take my place among them, in the halls of Valhalla, WHERE THE BRAVE MAY LIVE FOREVER"
the prayer ended and grindall looked up and stared and Draka " Boy we are leaving this hill today so get all the things you'll need for a 3 days journey. draka was slightly stinned but a dash of excitment junped forth from his chest and he nodded up and down voilently.
Grindall stood up and walked away without looking back. A smile spreaded across the youth's face and he jumped up and ran down to town. The time flew and draka arived back at his masters and stood at the door way, a thick black bag was slung over his back and he stood there patiently.
An hour had pass and Grindall didnt show up and Draka didnt dare go into his hut.As the second hour was approaching Grindal showed up without and explantion and they began there journey with draka making humorous faces behind grindall's back and he recieved a punch in the gut for it..
A short distance away threw the city and pasted the longhouses and up in a towering structures, Stood two indivuals huddled together under a brown fur coat. Kollton and Ingrid stood there watching the departing figures with a hint od sadness in there eyes but for different reasons.
"How long will they be gone"Ingrid leaned in questioning, Kollton shook his head and stayed quiet. "You should have told me sooner" Ingrid replied but still kollton stayed scilent. The wind blew hard and kollton grabbed her shoulder and spoke " Your brother will take care of him Grindall is one of a kind" A smile came to her face after hearing the praise her brother just received and she nodded. They both turned and headed down the tower.
