In Norway in the year Eight hundred eighty nine. a tragedy had occurred a village by the name of Ravensthorpe that belonged to the Raven Clan of Norway,
It was a settlement north of Rygjafylke, it was established during the year Eight hundred seventy three of the late ninth century.
But it's not here where our story starts, but rather Sixteen years after it was first founded,
our main character took his first breath, he was born to the chieftain of Ravensthorpe and a Anglo Saxon women but this happy family was torn apart Eleven years later when there son was only Eleven years of age when his life would change forever.
It was late into the night when the sound sound of battle filled the night sky...
And without a second thought Petra the boy's mother and a fine huntress grabbed her son and ran in the night with her bow and son on the back of a horse and they left in the night during the night in the middle of winter
It wasn't long before those that were chasing after the mother and son caught up to them and Petra was shot in the shoulder by an arrow they both fell from the horse and rolled down the hill on a frozen river she gather what strength she could and grabbed her son and had hidden him behind a frozen waterfall And he watched as she fought bravely but in the end she didn't survive
But this wouldn't be the end for the little warrior
1126 years later....
In the underworld of hell, the army of the dead stood at a large city's doorstep ready to plunder and raid for its resources and to take the spoils from they came from Helheim land of the dead
The image switches between The boys terrified face and tear filled eyes, to a more intimidating figure with a black hood, glowing green eyes And a helmet with a skull face and jaw bone attached to it
"Lord Deaths-hand" a voice called out
"Hmm" responded the massive figure dressed in black turning his glowing green eyes in the direction from
"Please forgive me my lord, but don't we attack now?" Asked the eager warrior
The Lord in Black looked to the ground for and the looked at the field ahead of them
"If you were the first one to start running you would be exhausted and out of energy before you even started fighting, but if you wait patiently then victory will be swift with moderate effort" stated the warrior in black trying to ease the eager warrior
"I see your wisdom lord" the warrior accepted the answer and trusted in the wisdom of his lord
And good timing to as the devils sent there warriors to defend the city and confront the enemies attack there city
Lord deaths-hand gave the order to a warrior to send in the undead to attack the walls and bring down the gate
As soon as he gives the order a small battalion of 400 undead warriors begin to march towards the group of devils
The undead started to speed up as they drew closer and closer towards the devils, as they reached the devils everything when black as they couldn't withstand the onslaught of dead
Eventually deaths-hand sent the Draugr chosen undead with there conscious and intelligence remaining to attack as soon as the gates were open and at that point the city was doomed to fall
A few hours later...
The city had fallen!, and what remained of the city defence were being feasted on by the undead and the draugr carrying there reward food and treasure out of the city gates and loading it back into longships which they used to arrived
To all the inhabitants were dead however some surrendered and later there weapons allowing themselves to be taken back to Helheim as slaves to serve there new masters
But not all surrendered or fought some just stayed hidden
"My Lord, We found one!" The draugr threw what seemed to be the lord of the city to the ground
With his back turned deaths-hand turned around to look at the fallen lord whom was grovelling at the feet of the tall behemoth
"W...what are y..you?" The lord stuttered as he was unsure of his fate
Without even thinking deaths-hand picked the lord up by his throat and held him up in the air
"Death" Deaths-hand proclaimed before snapping the lords neck and dropping him to the floor
And turning back round to look over the canopy on the left of the room before sensing he was being summoned
He felt a whisper on the wind knowing this could mean only one thing...
"The wind calls me back to lady Hela" deaths-head thought to himself as he left and so do his warriors to go back home
But before he leaves he raises his hands in the air slowly, as the corpses twitch and there eyes shoot open and they raise as undead
As they all load they spoils and the slaves onto the boat and sailed away on a blanket of fog and eventually disappearing
And just in time to as devil scouts from a certain high-class devil family arrive to see what had transpired before they arrived
They slowly approach the gate and enter not before seeing the half eaten mangled corpses in the streets and some even empaled in spears
"What in Satans name happened here?" A man asked his leader
The leader looked around to see the light signs of a struggle but one thing caught his attention
The ice burn marks they found on the on the corpses even a corpse pinned to the wall by an ice spear
But one thing came to his mind, he raced to the food storage warehouse where they keep all the grain and other food items, there eyes widened as they realised what had happened
The leader looked to his comrade with fear in his eyes...
"We must leave this place at once" said the leader as they both turned to leave when there faces turned to horror
As they saw they were being watched the whole time

A few Draugr remained, they stayed behind to mop up of any survivors who did surrender
The devils took out there weapons and they let out a war cry as the draugr just staired at them and begin to laugh, the devils then charge at the draugr as everything turns to black
