The dead and their horrendous smell surrounds Hjalmer, the beachhead of Rokfelheim was littered with dozens of Samurai corpses and just as many of the village guardsmen were strewn out on the beach. He looked to his left, the village was safe for now but the words of the samurai he last killed haunted him, because they were in Hjalmers own dialect, how could THEY know his language? The words rang in his head "Your legend stretches beyond Ashfeld giant...we came to dispose of you monster...and there will be more seeking you out, to be legendary in our profession of battle is to seal your fate...we'll see how long you last..." Hjalmer knew what the samurai meant, the gashes and slashes on his back and sides knew what it meant and the bruises forming their marks on his body knew what it meant. It meant that as long as he lived he would know no peace.

"Brother...what happened here?"
The voice was familiar, Hjalmer turned to face it and the voice was that if his Brother Aidar, he had not seen him since the trials, since he became a highlander...many many years ago now...he smiled to his Brother and stood towering over him.
"The samurai happened...Aidar it's been a long time....come to The village...we need to speak" the pair began their journey back and Aidar talked softly, the sun peaking over the horizon, the air cold, piercing every particle like a spear, the village was in recovery and mourning simultaneously "Hjalmer I only just landed now and saw the fires of the samurai boats....what happened?" With a soft reply Hjalmer Answered "The samurai came looking for me, ever since the battle at Ashfeld I've become somewhat of a prize to these dogs....you've heard of the tales I can see it in your eyes so you need no explanation on that part....how did you find me?" Aidar had paused, eyeing the beachhead and the villagers collecting their dead and burning the samurai corpses before snapping back to reality "well brother...I followed the stories, I met a fisherman who told me of a massive man with a sword nearly as large as him guarding a port, that lead me to the Vikings stationed near the coast who told me you would be here....I came to find you because I want to fight with you...Brother."
Hjalmer chuckled before patting his Brother on the back, although anger and bloodlust for his enemies were in his eyes....so was happiness for his Brother was with him now. Hjalmer spoke with a growl next however, as the air became thicker. "Then come with me to Ashfeld brother, for once I ensure this village's safety with another garrison of Viking guards, we are going to talk with the knights, although their first outposts guarding the fields and hills leading to the castle I wish to visit won't be friendly, I believe we'll manage" Aidar with confusion stared at Hjalmer "why are we going there?"
Hjalmer said back "There's a captain there...a warden that I respect, she nearly bested me in combat but we drew to a stalemate, if what I hear from the samurai is true, I'll need as many allies as I can muster...."

The next week Hjalmer and Aidar set sail for a Ashfeld, the steel of a Claymore being sharpened, the Iron of a warlord being forged, the Journey to the castle will be treacherous, the remaining Blackstone legions still haunt the lands since Apollyon's fall but the Warden is not one of them and hopefully they'll reach an agreement with her.

"What do they call me? Back home?" Hjalmer asked, Aidar said "The samurai and the Knights passed on stories thay reached home, the most common names both sides use are 'Giant, monster' but in recent months everyone calls you...the Celtic Curse"
