The adventure continues…
The castle of Nemeth was under attack, the city surrounding the castle was already been lain to ruins. The bodies of Nemeth knights and soldiers covered the roads, alongside the citizens who had tried to flee. To anyone who didn't know better, this would appear to be the work of Saxons. But it wasn't.

"I seek what's rightfully mine." Morgana walks and stops in front of Odin. "I seek the throne of Camelot. And for that I need an army."
"My army?" Odin asks.
"I believe they've showed their mettle today." Morgana answers.
Odin nodes slightly. "And what do I receive in return for this service?"
"Arthur," Morgana answers, walking forward and standing beside Odin's shoulder. "To do with as you wish."

"Show yourselves!" Sir Leon demands.
"Sir Leon." Mithian greets. "It gladdens my heart to see you."
"Princess Mithian." Leon answers, suddenly Mithian falls to the side in a faint.
"My Lady!" The maid with her calls, rushing forward to catch her.
"Quickly!" Leon orders as he picks up Mithian, taking her from the maid. "We must get her to Gaius!"

The maid quickly nodes in agreement. "Of course, physician."
"I didn't catch your name." Alice suddenly speaks up, giving the maid an odd look.
"Hilda." The maid answers. "And who are you? I don't mean to be rude but the last time I was in Camelot, there was only one physician and he had a boy in training."
"My name is Alice," Alice answers. "And I am Gaius' wife. I have only lived here for a few years, it was unsafe for me to return while magic was outlawed. As for Merlin… He has duties to attend to elsewhere."
Hilda nodes, before turning to Mithian, a slight smile twitching at her lips.

Arthur shakes his head slightly. "What could have caused this? Nemeth has no quarrel with any of the other kingdoms and no Saxons have been reported traveling that far."
"King Rodor and King Odin have never seen eye to eye," Gaius speaks up suddenly. "Even when your father was alive, there was no love between the two kingdoms. But Odin could never afford to go to war, Nemeth has many powerful allies… It is possible Odin has deemed it the right time to declare war."
Arthur nodes. "I have never believed Odin to be that foolish. Nemeth is part of the united Albion, to declare war on Nemeth is to declare war on all of Albion bar King Sarrum and his kingdom."
