"You had to say yes to the invitation," Yelled the annoyed voice of Lucan, " You just had to say yes to it. We could have been staying at the fires, smithing to make more coin or sleeping with questioned women, but instead we are riding threw the lands on a horse, getting shifted on thighs with the cold winds hitting our flesh. " A growl seemed to escape his lips as he swore he felt another gust of the harsh winds blow on to his flesh. There was many reasons in why he hated being here, however the main one was of course of the annoyance of the travel. Coming from the mountains of their village took skill and more so a bit of luck. He had witnessed hundreds of men, women, and children fall to deaths and never their corpse to be seen again. It was almost a daily sight to see. Even members of their own family had been unfortunate enough to die in such ways, mainly beloved siblings and even a lover had found them self's to the after life. But still he now was fallowing that same cursed path,..It was a tortures amount of time. First they had to sale the mountain tops with thin steps while making sure the donkey's did not hold fright. Once that was settled they had to take on foot till the nearest stables were in reach.
What was worst was the horse ride to the castle which laid before them. He swore that the roads held more rocks then normal, probably a trick from their neighbors below the mountains. If it wasn't for their King being a man of full worth from his peoples point of view, then this trip would have truly been a horrid one. The King of the Lands of the Forsaken was a man named Ymir Vestar, a clever man who he would call of blood from their tribe. It had to be true for he was one of the few who his people would call King. Even their finest warrior Mala called him as such. In the past the people that hailed from the mountain tops were scene as savage men who would kill noble lords or ladies for a proper good fun. Raid the local villages, steal the women away and burn the place to the grounds. They of course did such things as it was a tradition but they held no cannibalistic urges to eat people. Mostly. Either way the truth was hard to tell, and so the mountain people use to be told as stories to young children in the kingdom, scare them straight or else. He heard the same stories as a child of these realm living people.
Once the war started though, alliances had to be made and forever struck a bound to his own people and the royals. The first king they worked with was a fool but King Ymir Vestar was not as his father. The man proved to be truly loyal to all those who stood in the kingdoms lands. Even so much that Lucan and his brother would make their armor and weapons for the man, even if he asked for less of coin.' Not too much though,' He quickly thought as they grew near the castle. It was a scary thing to see when he was but a child, in fact he remembered being in awe over the size of it. Now it just filled him with dread in speaking to proper people who he held no interest in. The last time he was here, he ended up passing out on the table from drinking too much. Wine gave him something to talk about...Alas now he couldn't drink in the castle. ' Maybe they forgot on how my gut spilled on lady's what her court'd dress,..Had to come by now.' Thinking this as he turned to face his brother.
Vladimir was his brother in blood, born from the same seed of their father and brought to this word with sword in hand from their mother. They held only a year apart in age, thus were close as any siblings could be. He held his brother to heart, still in this moment he was crossed with him. " We should have left with Yelena and Sasha or when Mala and her tiny of man brother came to this castle but oh no," He said while lifting his right hand and pointed his index finger at Vladimir. " - You just had to finish that chest armor. Not as if it could have waited a few more days passing, fat s**t wont fit in it after a year, but no,.." He spoke of the armor request that they had received a few days ago, from a man that hailed in another kingdom. The man was an old knight, well past his days and probably wished to have one more grasp of armor before a soft belly hit with age. It could have waited for several days as it wasn't wanted till the sun turned a bright red, a few weeks hence forth. But alas his brother worked on it.
" If we don't find a warm body in our beds tonight because of this set back on the hour, then I shall never forgive you." He stated with a simple nod of his head. "You get to hold Yelena in the night if you wish, or her brother if madness hits your, or any women really but not I, as I am late to this castle. " He spoke these words but none of it was true. He would never hate his brother but more so was throwing a small fit from being far too stubborn and annoyed. Once they got off their horses and headed inside, Lucan appeared to be much calmer. His eyes glanced around the room, spotting a few familiar faces but none he wished to speak too at the moment. His pouting was infamous in his lands, and now he would just stalk behind Vladimir until questionable women or men held interest to him. Or wine appeared in his hand. Which ever came first would be blessing from their Gods."Is Mala wearing a gown of a maiden? " He asked suddenly as a grin started to form on his lips. Maybe this night would hold some fun for him.
