: I'd received word from the scouts that I'd sent out to search for the messanger and finally they'd reported finding information on where he was...for now all they did was watch and follow him at some distance but now that he had left windstorm lands it was time to act... I'd gotten things ready well before hand moving small amouts of supplies from the calste out into the forrest...it would appear that I was just heading out on patrol with some others...but if one was to study more carefully they would have noticed that Cortez and Hilda had left earlier...I mouted Arawan and moved from the stables to the main gate and beyond riding casually with what appeared to be no real goal in mind...but once within the forrest all that changed...I'd dismounted at one of the hiden camps that had been set up and I nodded to Hilda and Cortez as I dismounted...I moved now to the supplies and started putting on the plated armour that I wore when I knew the upcoming battle would be heavy... the black armour would be weigh down the average warrior but I was far from the...turning and moving getting comfortable again in the shell of steel.. to most this would make one slow but on me it was no more then what leather would be to a regular human..

•OUTSIDE WINDSTORM•
...is somewhere outside Windstorm's borders...
ALL: I mounted easily and Arawan shook himself..he wore armour as well the chainmail drpping over him wouldn't hinder him as plates but would still provide protection...Cortez was upon his black and Hilda her grey chargers both carrying what the needed... we chose a circular route keeping to the forrests by way of scouted game trails ... my mind was now plotting stratagies on how to deal with whatever may come... it had taken most of the night to get to where we needed to be.. when we had gotten to the designated area it didn't take long for the scouts to find us and lead us to there camp... I sat nearby and listened as they reported that the man had entered a village and was getting some supplies...once he started out again we would wait until he was far from the village then I would have him....Hilda and Cortez had wanted to attack right but I explained that we were not going to slaughter people because they were in the way..both dropped there heads and agreed..I understood what they were going through but I would have justice not just vengence... trial by combat..if he could take me then so be it

•OUTSIDE WINDSTORM•
...is somewhere outside Windstorm's borders...
ALL: soon one of the scouts reported back that the messanger had been spotted... we mounted and started off...ithinking on it some and deciding that this was to easy..I sent one of the fastest scouts well ahead of the others and soon enough he returned telling us that up ahead was a spot that coming up that could be an ambush location and I smiled...if this one was any good then he would avoid the location ...if he entered it then it would be him acting as bait..I glanced to Cortez and Hilda and gave a nod as they dismounted with the scouts...this was a game we knew...yes he would bait me into the jaws of the trap I was a british stupid barbarian after all...and those jaws would close..but instead of closing on a mortal man easily killed they would close on one of Odin's chosen..one that accepted long ago that he was to die in battle...an Einherjar but not dead yet to take the title

•OUTSIDE WINDSTORM•
...is somewhere outside Windstorm's borders...
ALL: I waited some time to allow the rest to get well ahead of me and then I leaned down and whispered into Arawan's ear..his head bounced and nodded as if he understood what was spoken and what was coming...then soon enough we were off down the trail casual enough by now my eyes started to take on just the hint of scarlett..this wouldn't be really noticed unless someone was very close because of the visor...as I entered the clearing I spotted the man as if he was setting up camp for the night but I also heard the chirping of the crickets off in the woods surrounding the clearin...he stood and looked at me and I could almost see the smile on his face within the hood...there was no talking just his raising of his hand and the harsh whistle came instantly ..my back burned as I felt the first arrows strike then the sting of two more as they struck home into the breastplate...that was all that it took and my thighs hit Arawan...He bolted forward toward the man and I think that smile quickly vanished as I didn't fall from the saddle as would be expected..though I think there was an intake of breath and a "oh Sh--" but that was as far as it got and I was leaping from the saddle at him...he rolled of course and had his blade out as he got to his feet..

•OUTSIDE WINDSTORM•
...is somewhere outside Windstorm's borders...
ALL: from the brush around us there were now new sounds...ones of surprise and then screams as those that had attacked me now faced my scouts and two very annoyed Norse Warriors...I could hear the clash of steel and then rending of of flesh as it was struck by claw and teeth...now these fearsome assassins discovered that they were those that people feared in the night...but what they faced in those dark brushes were things that nightmares ran away from ... I rose to my feet easily the arrows in my had snapped off as I'd landed and rolled but the 3 arrow shafts still stuck out from my chest...these would have been killing blows but to me they itched... my right hand had the Spatha in an easy gripas I moved forward the firey scarlett blazed in my eyes now easy to see...I felt the nails hardening within the gauntlets...my beast was coming out to play and I didn't even try to fight it down...I embraced it ...this was what I was...the man tucked rolled anbd came up under my guard in an instant...I felt the sting somewhere in the fog as the dagger struck home under my arm and just barely caught the glistening on the blade...poison of course...again I would be dead if I were human....but instead my right foot kicked out into his chest at a far greater speed then he had thought possible...I could feet the crack of ribs as he flew away from me and landed in another roll

•OUTSIDE WINDSTORM•
...is somewhere outside Windstorm's borders...
ALL: my left hand pulled the dagger from where it was embedded and I tossed it down...the growl that came from me was more animal then man...this one had started things...had probably helped in setting up Sarah...now he tryed to kill with poison...I moved slowly a jugernaught that would not be stopped...now that this thought had probably entered his head there was no fight or light..there was just flight and he ran for the brush...only to fly back toward the center of the field as Arawan leaped in front of him blocking the way to the brush and kicked with both back feet...I turned and moved forward again..my spatha had found it's home in the scabbard at my back and I removed the gauntlets the claws had grown solid now and my fingers flexed..he lay there as I came close and then in a last attempt his hand found a branch ..he struck out and this time there was a growling howl as my left arm came up to block only to feel the embers of the fire on the branch explode on my forearm...my arm I would deal with later...but now the beast took control and my right hand flashed out driving with rigid fingers as my hips torqued into the first blow into his throat and closed trearing into the flesh the thumb to one side and the fingers on the other side of the adams apple...and then he was off the ground held a foot off the ground and his blood fountained out from the arteries...the left hand snapped low and drove in from just above the pelvis and continued up ripping higher and higher until ribs shattered...there might have been a feeble cry but I didn't hear it as I continued to turn and just fling the piece of meat away...

•WINDSTORM CASTLE•
...is somewhere in the castle...
ALL: We came in at different times and directions to the castle gate and I met up with Uncle Stavros and Aunt Morganb soon after...my head was still ringing from the slap to the head she gave me ...but the hug after and her saying that I was a fool had made up for it...heavens help the beating I'd be getting from Marietta if she ever found out...I moved up to my room with the closed bucket not many would comment on such a thing after all...none would ask what it was...I placed it inside a chest with the dagger wrapped in the hood...the brine should keep things from starting to smell for quite some time
