The Nords

Previous Chapter

The Norse long boat was not a model of ships that was usually used anymore. But the nords stuck to tradition and used them anyway. Harmonic was in the main vessel there were about 4 more ships with them he had gathered an army of 4000 strong enough to hold against a minor attack. But the clan chief had assured him that the other clans would be on their way as well. Harmonic used his telepathy to send a message to frostbite to prepare a dock for their arrival. A splash of cold water from the sea hit him and he started shivering immensely.

Frostbite would love this weather he thought. Oh yea that's right his name is fucking Frostbite. His thoughts were interrupted as a horse voice called his name. The Nordic who had said his name looked about 20 and had multiple battle scars. And his cutie mark was a pony on top of a dead darken.  The nord spoke up again repeating his question, "Lad why are you shivering are you cold little whelp."

"Yes im cold and who are you smart mouth." the nord stood up being a little taller than Harmonic and stretching his legs before responding.

"My name is Grief mane captain of this boat and I already know who you are. Don't worry even some nords cant take the cold. Your far from being the only one. But I would like to know how your army is without us how many troops do you have?"

"We are still recruiting but right now we have maybe 2000 strong not including me and my brothers." Grief mane nodded and looked back out onto the ocean.

Meanwhile Flameforge just got done training the recruitment group how to use hoof-to-hoof combat against gryphons. After he was done he sent the group off. And started walking through the castle letting the drill sergeants continue the training themselves. He was headed to the kitchen when one of the princesses Vinyl scratch walked up to him and started to speak.

"What are you up to you haven't talked to me and octy ever since we got here what's wrong?"

"Nothing I have just been busy lately. And that reminds me how do you and you're lover enjoy the castle?" A huge grin spread across his face as Vinyl started to sputter and choke on air. Then Flame started laughing his ass off at her sudden reaction. When Vinyl finally caught her breath she glared at Flame who was still laughing and practically yelled at him.

"How did you know!!!" Flame started to seize his laughing so he could respond to the question.

"Dude anyone who looks at you two knows your a couple and Harmonic told me what you did to Octavia on your birthday last year."

Vinyl blushed so hard her face felt like a overgrown tomato. She stared at Flame then started to open her mouth and respond.

"It was a friendly and plutonic game why would you think that was anything to assume on."

"Because you tied her up and tickled her until she agreed to give you a birthday kiss that's why." Vinyl blushed once again at the memory. She had done the act for about 30 minuets before octy gave in to the request. A thought came to her mind to shut up Flameforge.

"Well what if I have a bet for you. I've been pretty bored for the last week. So I challenge you to a music battle. My dubstep versus your...uh...what do you call it again?"

"Rap that's what its called."

"Yea so we both have a music battle and let your soldiers decide who was better. What do you think of that?"

"Sure if you really want me to spit a killer beat who am I not to oblige. But if you lose you have to tell every magazine and radio station that your dating Octavia." A smirk appeared on his face as Vinyl's face fell but perked up again as she started to respond.

"Fine but if I win you have to pay for the present im getting for octy. And just so you are aware its filled with diamonds." Flameforge smirked and nodded as he went to go find Frostbite.

As he went back to trying to find Frostbite. He heard noises Coming from the war room. As he walked in two of his guards were tied up and Frostbite was standing next to a crying and distraught Octavia. A sudden feel of rage reached Flame. He had a spot on idea of what happened but before he jumped to conclusions he and Frost. Talked over the situation through telepathy to not be heard by the others in the hallways and in the room.

So did these two just try what I think they tried.

Yes do you want to punish them or does dad get 2 new souls?

Flame looked at the guards who were still struggling in their restraints. He hadn't tortured anybody since the 2 great wars on the planet earth when he was lost in dimensions. He hadn't sent anyone to his dad since it was worse than oblivion but he didn't feel like wasting time on this filth he would be sure to apologies to mom later though.

"Send this filth to father I'll take Octavia to Vinyl."

"If its what you wish brother." Flame didn't hear the screams of hells newest victims until he was out of the castle.
