Ever since Apollyon's defeat, life in Ashfeld has seen a lot of changes thanks to the new lord Warden. First he made sure that all renements of Apollyon and her legion where gone taking out castle,outposts, any and all people who would still dare fly her banner.
As for me, I have risen up the lord's ranks to second in command it was a hard task for sure, as being a black stone meant I had to start at the bottom but my skill and dertermination was rewarded when I was able to show what I could do to the warden. As for the others they have been more or less the same but the worst part of my job has to be my second in command none other than Mercy, yep just great she has been on my ass ever since I got this job, with her flirting and all we are is friends, but she can be a bit of a handful sometimes. Right now we are being called by the lord Warden for an important "thing" , I wasn't listening. As we made our way to the lords chamber, I could only wonder what task he had needed both me and Mercy for. As we entered I could here him bickering with Holden Cross, his adviser.
"Trust me Holden, we need this as much as they do." The Warden said in an annoyed voice.
"I know that, but why him and not me?" Holden says as he slammed his hand down into the wood table braking a corner off.
"Well for one, he has better control over his anger than you and being a black stone he can show them that not all knights are blood thirsty idiots." He stated as Holden sat down in compliance.
"So what are we ment to do?" Y/N asked, making his presents known to the knights.
"Y/N, good you are here! Right, I need you and Mercy to go and try to make full peace with the vikings, this arrangement can only last so long. Do you two think you are up to the task?" He asked looking at the two knights.
"Are you insane?! They will kill us on sight!" Mercy shouts back. "I say we kill them where they stand!"
"Oh god, you are starting to sound like her again." Y/N states, glancing over at the broken armor of the old warlord.
"Mercy, if you are just not up to the take I can always just send someone els-"he could not even finish his sentence before the peacekeeper spoke again.
"No no no, I will go with Y/N." She says in an almost assertive tone.
"It's settled then, you will leave at once" He commands.
"Yes my lord!" Y/N and Mercy say in sync as they then leave to room together

The travel to Viking territory was very calm. Only one fight, and that was just with a small pack of wolves. As we went further in to their forest, my mind was clouded with only one thing, Elizabeth. Her firery red hair and emerald green eyes that gave off a glow of happiness. His mind was enchanted with the memory of her peach lips and the small freckles that doted around and on her nose he still had not lost those feelings of love, even after all these years apart. If anything, they had only gotten stronger, but his love filled day dream was tore apart by a certain peacekeeper's call.
"Hellooo! Earth to Y/N.....You there yak for brains??" She says as she hit him on the head with the butt of her dagger. It was the one Y/N had made for her as an apology gift for a bad fight they had. It was very beautiful and strong, but her favourite part was what was writen on the blade. The word "deranged" (if you get the joke you are cool). It was the name Y/N last left her with but it some how turned in to a joke between the two after they made up.
As they made there way towards the Viking stronghold called "Thor's Rock" (name game 100%), they then where suddenly surrounded by Vikings left and right. "Da da da, we're dead!" Y/N says, trying to lighten the mood a little.
"Who are you? What is your purpose here?" The Raider in front demanded.
"We are here to see your lord. We have a proposition for them." Y/n says in a calm manner, trying not to start a fight with the Vikings as they would surely lose.
"Is that so? And what makes you think i'm going to believe you??" The Raider asked Y/N as he folded his arms.
"Well for one, it's only the two of us and there's eight of you so if we tried anything we would fail." Y/N replided in a dull tone.
The Raider looked at them suspiciously before then unfolding his arms and stading up straight. "Hm, fair enough answer. I guess you can come and see our lord. Let me just warn you now, if you try any funny business we WILL do something about it and it may not be pretty." He warned them in a serious way before then leading them to where their lord was.
"He seems very friendly" Mercy joked as they folowed the Viking to their stronghold.
"Well, let's hope their lord is a bit kinder." Y/N responded back as they made there way up the hill to where their, so called lord, was.
As the pair of knights made their way up the crowded villige of Vikings, having them stare daggers in to the back of their heads, it seemed apparent that they were not welcomed although the tempoary alliance had stopped some of the fighting, hearing news about knights and Vikings having scuffles was all too common. As they head up the stairs of the hill towards the huge door with some of the Vikings, the notice just how big the place actually is, making them not want to start any funny business as they know they wouldn't stand a chance agaisnt these guys, especially since they are completely out numbered.
