The rain didn't stop. In fact it seemed to become stronger as the rightful heir of Skaal marched quietly into the village he had managed to build. The people outside looked as if they wanted to greet their lord but they knew all too well that he was not in the best mood. It looked as if Vali hadn't slept for days. The bags under his eyes darkened his demeanor and when he turned to see that 5 ships were parked in the Ocean beside the village his mood darkened even moreso. Five ships... he thought. Why would his father bring five entire ships to Worth Woodsea. He was playing a dangerous game with this country. Everything that Val had worked hard for could easily be ruined if any of the government workers had seen the travel vessels. The Desiertan's eyes faced forward again. He rushingly walked through the village, passing houses that looked a bit more presentable than he had left them. In the distance he could see none other than Bunda approaching him. The two vikings met in the middle and Bunda wasted no time in filling the young Lord in. "My lord." He greeted before extending his arm. Vali extending his also, gripping the black haired man's forearm and patting his shoulder. "Bunda." He greeted "Apologies for leaving you to deal with my responsibilities, gratitude for doing your best to keep it in line." Bunda nodded. "It was the least I could do, I'm afraid I didn't do a good enough job though." The tall elder man huffed as the two of them began to walk deeper into the village. "You did what you could, that's all that matters." Bunda nodded. "I couldn't tell that you were having such a difficult time though, the place looks...better." Looking around it was almost amazing how clean the village looked. It really began to look like paradise only it wasn't. "A group of Rebels have formed in within The Nekomata village. Leonus and I have tried to take them out but the only problem is that we don't know how many of them there are. They just continue to grow it seems. In the last week they managed to stop trade. Seems like they aren't taking the new leadership lightly." Vali sighed. "That won't be a problem for much longer." He simply stated. In his head he had a way to beat that. "Any sight of Troy?" "Not since he left.""And what of my father and mother." Bunda's eyes immediately looked into his leaders own eyes. "Your father has brought in another hundred from Skaal. Something bad has happened and... your mother...she's a prisoner." "Why?" He asked angrily, his jaws clenching and hoping Bunda could give him a direct answer. "I'm afraid I don't know all the details, Vali." The Desiertan viking tried his hardest to keep a level head. It was very rare that he became so angry that he acted irrationally so he was doing his best. "Take me to him." he demanded. |
