Newly Minted Auric Runefather Erik Griminir may have been many things, but one thing he was not, was unprepared.
Predictably, after his brother was made Runefather in the Miljnir Lodge, Erik along with his followers had decided to leave and found the Wolfnir lodge.
However, even after failing miserably in his arrival in Westeros, forced over the wall. He was hoping it wouldn't come to this, but he had no choice. If he wanted to find Ur-Gold, he needed help.
"Are you Sure there is Ur-Gold here?," Erik said glancing around the frozen tundra
"There is my lord," RuneMaster Rowan replied.
Thorin set down his Axe for a moment and fumbled around pulling out a map of the realms " This realm is so close to the realm of Chaos"
"HeLP HELP?! Someone, anyone! HELP!"
Erik knew that technically, he too was new to this land. But there was no time to fuck around. Without hesitation, the Fyreslayers abandoned any ideas of not helping, all ten of them stormed Crastor's keep together, lanterns lit and axes drawn. aced up the front staircase, skipping two stairs at a time. They gripped their axes.
"Right or left? Which was it?" Erik said. He decided to go left, running down the hall. Finally, they came to a door, Rowan kicked it open, there were indeed rangers inside, three more of them.
"You've got to be fucking kidding me."
Horrified, Thorin shook his head, seeing the rangers lying about amongst the broken furniture and splashes of their own blood. Their chests were ripped open. The coagulating stench was overbearing. Holding his nose, Thorin ducked out of the room.
The Fyreslayers rushed out of the room, retracing his steps all the way back to the main hall. They ran even faster when they heard a woman's shrieks echoing through the lodge. From the light of Thorin's lantern, the Fyreslayers saw the creature as it came into view. A mass of thin, spindly limbs held her down. It was hard to tell the creature's exact size, but it was certainly larger than a reindeer. The arms and legs were attached to an extremely white body that looked like it was from the worst sort of horror story. What must have been its face, skin had rotted away revealing the bone underneath, turned to look at the Fyreslayers. It emitted a low noise, a cross between a hiss and a wheezing chuckle.
"Help...!"
The woman's voice was cut off when the creature covered her mouth with a rotting mutated hand, muffling her voice. It reached, and started to rip away the cloth of her nightgown.
"Get off her!"
Erik rushed towards the thing, raising his axe. He jumped onto its back and struck at what he hoped was its head. Quicker than he could react, the monster let go of Woman and instead grabbed him by the throat, throwing him across the room. Erik yelled in pain as he smacked against the wall, hard.
The creature crawled towards him, its body moving erratically like a spider or crab from Hell. It reached for him, clamping down on his arms and legs and stifling his movements. Erik tried to scream. The creature put its limbs to the Fyreslayer's chest and tore open his sweater and shirt in one movement, then began digging into his skin.
The thing as suddenly smacked off Erik
"SSKKKRRRRREEEE!"
The monster withdrew its arms from Erik, as was flung against the near by wall, it slumped down as Thorin and Rowan swung their axes, killing the creature.
" The fuck was that?" Thorin asked
" My lord are you alright ?" Rowan asked helping his Runefather up
" Yes, the woman is she alive ?" Erik asked.
The woman being comforted by three other women stepped forward
" Thank you, im Jessikah Lannister " Leena said " May i ask who my saviours are ?"
" I am Rune father Erik Griminir " Erik answered " This is Rowan and Thorin " he continued.
Jessikah threw on a robe and picked up a lamp, lighting it, the Fyreslayers headed out of the room, the women following closely behind them.
Outside the Fyreslayers stared up at Crastor's keep, well whats left of it, the house/lodge had fallen on hard times and that Jessikah Lannister had arrived recently.
" What are you looking at?" Jessikah asked
" We want to use this place to create my Wolfnir lodge " Erik answered
" And what of me and my girls?" Jessikah said " Your willing to kick us out ?"
Erik shook his head " No you women are welcome " He said
" Well you did save our lives " Jessikah said.
" Well then miss Lannister welcome to the Wolfnir clan" Thorin said
" Welcome to the free folk lands " Jessikah replied.
Rowan was looking at places he could add to Crastor's keep to create a Fyreslayer lodge.
