“Long ago, before the Dark Force, there were four stones.  Each stone had a special talent to it, Fire, Ice, Wealth, and Electricity.  They were each given to a being of power, wealth was given to the Dwarves, Fire was given to the Elves, Ice was given to the Giants, and Electricity was given to the humans.  One day, the stones got over powered, they corrupted the minds of the stone berrors, they came to a decision to place the power of the stone into something else and destroy the stones for good.” Arela said.  

    “Until one day, somewhere in Norway, there was a fisherman who found a stone, the last unknown stone that could grant the user’s deepest desire, for me, It made Exitium have full power.  For that fisherman, he got all the fish he ever wanted, the village was feed for days, until a viking ship washed up on shore, robbed, pillaged and killed all the villagers. Their leader, Vladegast, claimed the stone as a treasure of victory, he used the stone to become immortal along with his crew.  For years they were unstoppable, until one day, when they found an island full of unknown treasures and precious jewels, Vladegast lost the stone, it fell in the ocean and washed away from them, the vikings got turned into stone, never to be released from their prison.” Livia finished. Jermey took a deep breath, then told everyone what he saw.

    “In my vision, I saw Vladegast take down the Troll king and made him tell him where the stone is.  He’s headed towards Arrustvile as we speak.” he told them. Livia and Arela looked at him in concern.

    “Then there is no time to lose.” Lavant said, he raised his watch to his mouth, and spoke into it.  “Lavant to General Arlon, Lavant to General Arlon, do you read me?” a voice responded, it was Arlon.

    “I read you loud and clear, Sergeant Major,” Arlon said.  “What’s the trouble?” Lavant swiped his watch to the ground, a hologram of Arlon showed up, he looked the same but with the rank of General. “First of all, hello team, sorry I couldn’t make it to your ceremony, Darin, I’ve been busy with my new duties.  Second, what can I do you for?” 

    “Can you make it back to Arrustvile?” Shanel asked.  “There’s an army of Vikings coming to take a stone.”

    “Vikings? Stone? Ok I was skeptical when it came to Trolls, Goblins and Bilcrats, but now you’re talking about Vikings?  And what stone?”

    “This stone.” Jeremy said, he snapped the stone back and showed it to Arlon.

    “Hold up, ain't that the stone that your mother had when she was Exitium?” 

    “Yes.” Livia said.  “And it belonged to a viking called Vladegast, and he really wants to become immortal again.” 

    “Well...I’ll see what I can do.  But try not to get into any trouble until I-” he was interpreted by the sound of a horn blowing, it blew two more times then made a last long blow.  In the distance there were twenty vikings on horses, they rode towards the city, everyone got out of the Elf district and made it to the entrance of the city.  There was Vladegast slowly trotting close to the team, Jeremy, Safie, Darin, Shanel, and Sola came walking towards him so they could talk.

    “This be your land?” Vladegast asked.

    “This is Arrustvile.” Jeremy said. 

    “Then this be the place where the stone is.” Valdegast said.  He raised his sword high. “We destroy the village until the stone is found!!!” the vikings behind him all screamed in happiness.

“Hold on there, lad.” Darin said.  “Can’t we just talk about this, one king to another?”

“Hehehe, look there men, the bearded child talks as if he’s a king.” said one of the vikings from behind.
