Chapter 12: Honor Bound
Two weeks later
William slammed into the rock as he looked right at the sword edging closer to his chest, the Warlord driving it closer looked at him with fire as he dropped his shield and gripped the pommel of his sword trying to get an edge on him, William held his sword keeping the cross guard of his enemy away just enough it didn't puncture his armor when he slid it oto the side and brought his hilt to the warlords face.
William grabbed the warlord; he dug his gauntlet into the crook of his armor and threw him into the same rock wall before he brought his sword down. William grabbed hold of the middle of the blade, gripping hard as he brought the pommel close to him before he struck the warlord with it hearing a crack the body dropped just in time for William to see a spear coming right for him. it sank into the rock next to him missing his head by just inches as a Valkyrie came charging up to him screaming loudly before she caught him with her shield forcing him to slam into the hard rock. The wind escaped Williams chest as his he felt the stone wall behind him as he fought hard to keep the Valkyrie off him. he tore the shield away from her and smashed it over her head, sending her backwards clutching her skull, William walked over to the spear in the wall and ripped it out before he tossed at her feet and grabbed his sword, spinning it ready for her this time. She took the spear and grabbed her shield before she readied herself for the fight.
They slowly walked around for a moment before she made the first move. William moved his sword to his right as she came from the left, William barley moved as sparked ignited from the contact. William step closer and brought a move from the top down catching the edge of her shield before he braced and slammed into her with his shoulder catching her off guard long enough to get some moves past her. the cuts on her side were deep making her look at him with an anger before she pulled a small flask out and tossed it onto the ground. Ben inhaled a deep breath before he sprinted out of the radius and rolled just in time as flames erupted between them William popped his neck as the small of flesh burning and screams filled his orifices. William looked behind him as the Valkyrie was trying very hard to stand in one place her screams saying she wanted to run before she finally caved in and ran, falling off the cliffs close by. William stood up and tightened the grip on his sword as he looked around trying to focus on anything when the horns sounded, and people ran in a frenzy.
William walked along the path until he got into the ruined tower seeing the Vikings running back to the keep before the massive doors slammed. William slid his sword in the scabbard as he watched men cheering and others running or throwing down their weapons hoping they will be spared. Emily and Kastumoto walked up behind him as they put their own weapons away.
"looks like we won" Kastumoto said as he took his helmet off.
"For now, we still need to get through the gates, and get the siege equipment through"
Emily took her own helmet off as she popped her neck. "do we have a plan?" William nodded as he took a deep breath.
"get word to Higur and get him to get word to whoever's in charge, see if they wont talk with us about letting us in or through" William looked over to Kastumoto who nodded and walked leaving William and Emily alone. William looked over the battlefield as Gregor and Sayori came over the hill, William smiled in his helmet before he looked over to the ladder and went down. Emily stood there and sighed as she put her helmet back on before she stopped and looked at William who was looking at her.
"get the camps set up and round up any wounded or anyone still outside the keeps walls" Emily stood silent as William went down before she tightened the grip on her sword and went down the stairs. Gregor slammed his halberd in the ground and took his a deep breath as William walked up to them.
"when I I saw you get grabbed by that warlord, thought you met your fate" William shook his head and looked over to Sayori who held her Naginata in her left hand. And moved her right hand into the fold of her robes.
"I'm alright, just a little scraped"
"Need the surgeon?" William held his hand.
"nothing to serious I'd imagine" Gregor nodded as William looked to the massive doors of the keep as Higur and some of his followers walked right up and began to shout, getting someone's attention.
"until we get a hold of someone on the inside get set up, tents, food or sleep and be ready" Gregor and Sayori both nodded as William walked away.
Hours later.
The sun had died down as William finally took off his helmet and walked towards his tent. Higur had yet to return but he was able to speak with the keeps commander so now it was just a waiting game. William sighed as he set down his helmet on a table on the far side and began to take off his chest armor as he poured a mug of yellow liquid, William brought it up to his nose and smelled it, the liquid smelled of honey and milk as he smirked and took a swig of the honeyed mead before he set it down and leaned on the table feeling the relief of not wearing his heavy plate. Shuffling behind him made William sighed as he grabbed the mug and turned, seeing Emily walking over to him, a smile on her face, her armor wasn't in sight as she walked up to him, in just her trousers and basic shirt, her boots near his bed as she untucked her shirt.
"you've been gone for hours" William took another swig from his cup as he looked at her.
"going through a battlefield and helping the wounded and rounding up prisoners will keep you busy" Emily walked right up to him as she placed a hand on his chest, reaching and sliding her hand into his shirt William grunted as she did before he took another swig.
"are you not at least happy to see me?" William took a deep breath as he set his cup down and took her hand out of his shirt and grabbed the cup and finished the mead before he picked up the pitcher and poured another. Emily's smiled dropped as she looked at him serious now. "I thought this would've been a happy surprise" William walked past her as he drank from the cup and set it down next to a large map with little figures dotted across it.
"My bed will be a happy surprise" Emily looked at him with a smile of disbelief before she walked over.
"we haven't spoken in weeks, since the docks, we haven't been intimate in months"
"being on campaign will do that, and last I remembered you were the one who walked away on the deck of the ship so do not be blaming me for a choice you made" Emily clenched her fist as she looked at him. William set the cup down again and leaned onto the table, looking over the map of valkenhiem.
"I haven't felt you in so long" Emily crept up behind William as she slid her hands onto his shoulders before she retracted them and walked away. William looked at the map as he heard something land on the ground. William looked behind him and noticed as a pair of trousers were balled up by his feet before he looked back seeing Emily walking back up to him in nothing but her shirt, draped over past her waist and past her ass hiding anything anyone would've seen. "I've missed you" William felt her hands on him, sliding up underneath his arms and grabbed ahold of him. William sighed as he stood up and moved his hands on hers. Emily began to smile as William squeezed her hands but stopped when he took them off his shirt and moved them away.
"Emily not now" William felt the anger behind him as he looked at the map before he stood up and turned around. Emily stood there shaking her head and smiled in anger as she looked at him.
"I haven't been fucked in weeks you haven't fucked me in weeks" William took the cup from the table and took a long sip and looked at her.
"we are in the aftermath of a battle, and we are waiting for Higur to return with any news, why do you think right now is the time to fuck?" Emily balled up her fist as she gripped the hem of her shirt.
"we've been on the road for months, we haven't been with each other since the boats and both of us have had enough tension to kill a small castle, do you not want me?"
"what I want is sleep before Higur comes back" Emily took a deep breath as she walked away, grabbing her pants before she slid back into them and walked over to the bed. William shook his head as he took another drink from his cup. Emily didn't say a word as she slammed her feet back into her boots and looked at William.
"you spend more time with the people we used to fight then with the people you use to call ally"
"they are our allies"
"they aren't mine" William put the cup down and walked over to her. he ran a hand through his hair and took a deep breath before he rubbed his eyes.
"we've been on the road for months, before that, I searched for you, Gregor and any survivors of the coast keep and for two months in the swamps and the myre. My life was saved twice by the people I used to call enemy, I spent a year in the debt to someone I hate because it meant the freedom of you and now they see the opportunity to eliminate a crazed monster who's own men hate him and you still cant see what this means" William grabbed her shoulders and shook trying to get her to listen to reason. Emily shrugged him off and looked at him before she rolled up her sleeves.
"you used to be something" William threw his hands up in frustration as he walked over to the table. "I'm sorry I can't see them as anything other than enemy's but I can't trust them more then you do"
"THEN LEAVE!" William spun around and threw his hand to the opening in his tent. "THE WAY IS CLEAR AND NO ONE WILL STOP YOU" Emily was taken back by the words as she took a step back. William rubbed his eyes and looked at her.
"if you can't see the bigger picture then I don't know why you followed me this far… Emily, I… I can't expect you to be here if you can't trust me or those who are fighting with you" Emily tried to hold back tears as she held her hands up to her mouth. William sighed as he looked at her. "you went through something other then I did when you left the keep, but you have to much hate to let anything else in, and if we are to be something more…" William stepped closer as she began to let the tears pour. "then I need to know you have something other then hate for the people in our company" Emily took another step back as William looked at her with sorrow. "I wont force you to leave the camp, or stop you if you want to leave, but leave my tent Emily, please" William went back to the table with the map as she ran from the tent.
William laid down on his bed as the minutes turned to hours, Higur was still dealing with the people inside and he had gave into the thought of sleep allowing himself to fade from reality for a few hours. He took a deep sigh as he looked at the opening of his tent, wanting someone to come in, just anyone but gave up and turned his head to the side.
The tent was dark as he opened his eyes, the white ceiling was even black as he heard footsteps made him throw the beddings off him and quietly made his way to his sword. He unsheathed the blade and readied himself in a stance before a large bootstep outside made him curious. "Its just me Wolf" William lowered his guard at the sound of the thick Scottish brough Laughing outside his tent flap. William grabbed the scabbard next to him and threw his sword into is as Higur walked in with a smile and stumbled slightly.
"are you drunk?" Higur nodded as he sat down in a chair next to William and looked at him.
"the commander has agreed to let us pass through, he does ask though as in return we let them leave in peace, and return any survivors when they do leave the fort"
"they have no fealty?" Higur shook his head as William walked over to the pitcher and poured two cup s full.
"Ivar employed them to watch the fort in this event, but he kept them under his thumb out of fear, that's how he amassed his horde, killed any who opposed and took what they had by force" William sighed as he handed a cup to Higur.
"I figured, how long are we giving them to evacuate?"
"they have two days to get everyone in a shape tp leave, I was surprised in them." William took a large swig as he looked at Higur. "one of the few things the commander wanted was to just go home, he didn't even want the fort, he just wants to see with dog" William smirked and chuckled as he took a swig from his cup.
"I can relate to that, being far away from anything you know or want, its all they can think about sometimes" Hignur looked at William with some small knowledge of what he was speaking of before he smiled.
"long for the things you want but know you cant have" William nodded as he sat down on the edge of his bed and downed his drink.
"I told Emily how I felt"
"so you ended it with her?" William nodded as he walked to the pitcher.
"if she cant trust the people here trying to help then what's the point? I cant be with someone with that much distrust and anger hiding away" Higur nodded as he stood up and wobbled over to the table and placed his cup down.
"you remember the dight we had on the bridge?" William nodded. "I was more impressed with how much trust you had in your enemy, anyone else would've just attacked and prayed they beat me or someone else, but you took the moment to meet me and that takes more trust and courage then ive ever seen" William nodded as he looked at Higur who held his hand out. William clasped wrists and shook as he looked at the smiling man in a kilt. "I shall leave you to your night, ill see you tomorrow yes?" William nodded as Higur left his tent and went to his own, leaving him alone again.
The night was cold and quiet, nothing could make a sound as the night stood still. William woke up with a small shiver as he walked to the middle of his tent, looking for the fire pit and sighed when he realized it died off, he knelt down and threw a good amount of logs into the pit before he took the small kindle-box right next to it. He felt the cold creep up on his fingers making it take several more minutes to get a fire lit but when it did William almost jumped up and danced feeling the heat already begin to do its job.
Gregor sat down at a medium bonfire in the middle of the tent circle, he sat there out of his armor, but threw a fur and a few blankets on himself and sat on the edge near his tent when the flaps to one tent came open and Emily walked out struggling to walk properly before she sat down on a small bench. Gregor looked at her and shrugged as he saw her finish off a large mug of something as set it down.
"is everything alright?" Gregor took the top of the furs off his head and felt a cold breeze hit his face. Emily looked over to him, Gregor looked at her and noticed her eyes were puffy, her nose looked red and still runny. Overall she looked like a mess.
"I cant make sense of it Gregor, he's changed and I cant make the sense I need to keep him" Gregor looked at her nodding, unsure how to proceed. "he told me I have to much hate, and that I shouldn't be here if cant see the bigger picture"
Gregor stood up and walked over to Emily before he sat down. "William is on the verge of something that hasn't happened since the Warden Commander and Holden Cross were still alive, Ivar is the bigger threat then anything else."
"But how… how can I forgive what they've done" Gregor looked at her and made her look at him.
"you think I've forgiven Higur for attacking the keep and forcing us to leave? Because I promise you I don't, but I'm working with him, we're working past it so that we can deal with the monster who made us leave, the monster who forced Higur and his men into s war they didn't want" Gregor stood up and caught out of the corner of his eye someone sneak out of one tent, go around the edge of camp and go into another. "we all have choices to make Emily, I'm choosing to put my anger aside, what will you do" Emily stood up and looked at Gregor before she nodded and walked back into her tent. Gregor looked to the tent the figure went into and walked close by. Slowly Gregor walked along the line until he stopped and heard what they said.
"what are you doing in here?"
"I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't have shown it's just" Gregor leaned in and listened a little closer. "the cold is a little too much for me"
"I know what you mean, this is the second fire I've lit tonight"
"I was just wondering if you wouldn't mind letting in, if only to help against the cold"
"what would they say if they found you here" a small chuckle escaped one of them but was stifled as the speaking got quieter. Gregor walked away from the tent and to the entrance flaps before he cleared his throat and walked inside.
Gregor looked inside the tent and cleared his throat again as he looked to the center of the room and noticed William sitting next to a roaring fire, and Sayori on the other side of the fire, her mask still covered her face but other then than a simple kimono covered her other then some furs and blankets over her.
"Gregor, I thought you were asleep" Sayori looked around and took a deep breath before she took off her mask. and smiled at him.
"I couldn't sleep, the cold is taking a toll I guess" William stood up and grabbed the pitcher and held it out to him.
"would you like something to drink?" Gregor smiled as he nodded as William went back for another cup and handed it to Gregor before he poured it full. "the colds talking it's toll on both of us as well"
"so I would understand as to why I would Kastumoto, still don't know the story with you, Sayori" Sayori took a drink from her cup and looked to William who poured another cup for himself.
"I was running from a rival when I stumbled onto William, we exchanged some choice words and after saving his life, we traveled through to the Myre together" Gregor nodded as he took a seat next to her and took a swig from his cup.
"Higur came back and gave some good news" Gregor looked over to William who sat down across the way. "the commander of the keep has agreed to let us through if we give them two days to get what they need, including the survivors we have and they'll give the fort over" Gregor nodded and smiled through his thick beard.
"who's staying behind to man the fort?" William took a sip before he looked at the fire.
"are you volunteering? Gregor laughed as he shook his head.
"fuck no, I just want to know who's the poor sod to stay behind" Sayori and William both chuckled as he shrugged.
"I was going to ask tomorrow when we had a head count who's still with us… we did lose some people today" Gregor nodded as he leaned forward and looked at the fire.
"good men and women" they all nodded as Gregor looked over to Sayori and looked at the scar across her face. "so if I'm allowed to ask, did you get that in combat?" William looked over to her with a curious look on his face. Sayori unfazed nodded as she downed the rest of her cup and re-poured a new one before she looked at Gregor.
"a nemesis the same I was running from when I found William, Honda gave it to me the second time we met on the field" Gregor looked at it and smiled.
"glad to see it didn't stop you" Sayori held her cup up as Gregor did the same before, they both took a sip. William stood up and finished his cup and set it down on the table behind him.
"well maybe with the heat and some mead in me I can get to sleep" Gregor and Sayori both stood up and finished what was in their cup before Gregor nodded and held his hand out to William.
"tomorrow then" William clasped his wrist with Gregors before he turned to leave the tent. William walked over to his bed and kicked his boots off. Gregor and Sayori both left the tent and walked a short way away before Gregor stopped and turned around to face Sayori. Sayori stopped and looked at Gregor through the slits in her mask.
He got a little closer to her and leaned in close as to make sure no ears could hear him.
"I didn't mean to intrude into anything between the two of you" Sayori took a step back and flinched before she shook her head. "Sayori, you don't go out of your way to not be seen and lift up the back of a tent if you went in simply because you cant sleep" Sayori clenched her fist and seemed on edge. "don't mistake this for malice, in my eyes you make a very clever pair, just make sure you stay careful… at least for now" Sayori's fist unclenched as Gregor smiled.
"how long have you known"
"you went out of your way to help him rally allies and an army of samurai and knight's, I knew when I saw you and Kastumoto first ride into Ashfield." Sayori looked around seeing no one was around. "Don't worry, as long as you both are happy, I won't tell a soul" Sayroi was taken back as she looked around again and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Thank you" Gregor smiled as he gave her a small hug and looked at her.
"are your feelings true?" Sayori didn't even flinch as she nodded and looked at the tent. "then what are you waiting for?" Sayori chuckled as she slowly turned around and almost ran back inside the tent.
William heard the tent flap open as Sayori walked back inside and remove her mask revealing a smile on her lips, William smiled back as she walked closer.
"so about getting warm for the night" Sayori began to blush as she removed the cloak and furs letting her figure show off through the kimono before she dropped it and revealed every curve and form. William sat up and grabbed ahold of his shirt tossing it off his torso as Sayori walked over and from the foot of the bed she crawled closer to William. Sayori crawled to William's side and dove under the bedding before William towered over her and clashed his lips to hers.
Sayori moaned slightly in Williams mouth as she slid her hand onto his chest before he did the same. William cupped one of Sayori's massive breasts and began to grab and slightly pull but nothing to rough. Sayori gasped as she moved her hand down from his chest and into his pants grabbing ahold of his member as William pinched her nipple.
"please not so rough" William nodded as he slipped his tongue into her mouth before she pulled away. "hold on" William pulled away and looked at her for a moment. "let me get something to drink and ill return" William smiled and moved his hand to her cheek and nodded. Sayori walked over to the pitcher of mead and smiled seeing a small amount left. She didn't even get a cup as she pressed her lips to the pitcher and finished the remaining mead and felt the heat go to her cheeks. Sayori set the pitcher down and turned back to bed, releasing her hair letting her dark brown hair go past her shoulders and began laughing as she looked to the bed and saw William fast asleep leaning on the bed frame. She walked over to the shirt William discarded and threw it on before she walked over to the pants the let drop and slid those on and ran to the bed.
William woke up for a moment seeing the fire burning, the heat still filling his tent and looked to his left and noticed Sayori fast asleep facing away from him. William grabbed a pillow and lowered it onto the bed before he grabbed Sayori's waist and Pulling her into his embrace, he ran an arm over her waist and was surprised when she turned around and nuzzled her face into his chest still fast asleep. William smiled as he smelt her hair getting a deep smell of smoke and something sweet before sleep took ahold of him once more.
William woke up in the morning alone, his bed was cold just as the rest of his tent was. He climbed out of bed and slid his feet into his boots before he grabbed the shirt laying on his bed. William slid into it and came face to face with a blast of the smoke and sweet smell from the night before and smiled to himself before the tent flaps opened. Gregor walked inside and looked right at William.
"we have a head count of who survived" William stood up and walked over to the larger table and grabbed ahold of his sword and walked out following Gregor. They walked out and noticed as Kastumoto held a list. William looked around seeing Himura and Higur as Sayori yawned stepping out of her tent and looked around. William took the list from Kastumoto and looked it over before he looked over the people around him. Kastumoto to the right and allowed Sayori to walk up. William looked back down at the list and looked over to Kastumoto.
"who do you trust to keep this from getting beck into Ivars hands?" Emily walked out right as Kasumoto looked over to his left and pointed over to Himura who nodded and stepped up.
"t would be a pleasure" Himura pounded his arm onto his chest as William and Kastumoto did the same. Higur stepped up and looked over to the gates of the keep and then back to the others.
"well, we still have a day"
"agreed, I would suggest you and Himura choose who will stay behind with him and we will go from there once we get through the fort" William walked back into his tent as Gregor Sayori and Emily all walked in after him. William walked over and grabbed the side belt and buckled his longsword and scabbard into place as he moved it around his torso and looked over to his armor.
"we still have a day to wait fro the Vikings to give up the keep, in the meantime I want the prisoners taken care of and make sure they're alive and well for the exchange" Gregor nodded as he walked out of the tent. "Sayori, how many do we have wounded?"
"twenty two have met in the afterlife, while another seventeen have wounds but can live"
"good, please make sure they stay behind in the fort with Himura, and see if we cant word or get some people to make sure they go home, if they cant fight I don't want them to slow us down or to worry about fighting some othertime, once that's done come back please I need something else done" Sayori smiled under her mask and walked out of the tent, leaving William and Emily alone.
"you seem better rested" William sighed and nodded as he sat down and moved some logs around into the fire pit.
"so do you" Emily nodded as she wrapped the cloak and fur around her a little more, trying to fight the cold.
"are you willing to talk about yesterday?" William bent down and began to try and get another fire going as she sat down. William nodded as he continued with the fire. "I'm sorry for my part in everything" William looked up with sorrow on his face.
"as am I, I didn't mean to upset you but with everything that happened it was har-" Emily held up her hand and smiled slightly as the fire started and William sat down next to her.
"I know, the battle and everything after you don't have to apologize, but I do need to say something" William nodded as he closed his mouth to let her speak. "I was out of line, its hard for me to look at someone like Sayori or Kastumoto and not think they want something else, but I also know that when we left and you stayed, something changed" Emily held her hands out to the fire. "you had to become someone else to survive, you went from being you, to being a tool for them and you learned" Emily moved one of her hands over to Williams and took it, Squeezing it hard as she looked over at him.
"you became a new man, In a way. but that's someone I cant see yet" William looked at Emily's face, tears staring to form. "and as much as I care for you, I cant be with you right now, I know that" William squeezed her hand back as a few tears streamed down her face. Emily wiped them off her cheeks and smiled at William. "I'll follow you, to the ends of the earth, always you know that" William nodded as she looked at him. "but I know we can't be anything as much as I want to fight that we cant" Emily placed her forehead on his as she closed her eyes and let more tears fall William felt her place her lips on his, her sweet taste on his before she broke it off and took her hands away. "If you'll allow me, ill stay and fight for you" William smiled as he outstrached his hands, Emily took this and took the embrace willingly.
"of course I will, I couldn't ask for any other sword women by my side, least of all one of my best friends" Emily smiled as she broke off the hug and stood up.
"well, what can I do around the camp?" William smirked as he stood up.
"aside from be ready for a fight in case it happens. Nothing just be here when we are ready to move out" Emily nodded as she stepped out of the tent leaving William alone.
The rest of the time went surprisingly smoothly, William tried everything in order to stop any boredom but with the main forces waiting for the move into the keep, everybody was either on edge or trying to stop wondering minds. William left his tent and walked along the edges of the camp close by, he walked around with a hand on his hilt, looking around for something but nothing popped up when he noticed Sayori walking away from the camp in full gear over to the high tower, William felt his stomach turn as he looked at her but followed far enough not to alert her or anyone. The air was still as William rounded a massive rock in the way and herd grunting and yelling. William slowly walked over to the wall and unsheathed his blade and readied himself before he charged up the steps and stopped as he noticed Sayori jumping at the sight of him, dropping her weapon. William lowered his own and looked at Sayori with worry before he realized she was alone, most likely sparring.
"I heard yelling and grunting I thought you were fighting" Sayori shook her head and chuckled as she grabbed her Naginata.
"just trying to keep sharp and wait out the day" William put his sword away as Sayori embedded the spear into the floorboards.
"I know the feeling; I've re-polished my gear and repainted my armor at least twice now" Sayroi took off her hat and mask as she walked over to William.
"I'm sorry for leaving before dawn: William smiled as she looked around and made sure nobody was around before she wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled. William looked into her deep blue eyes and pressed his forehead to hers before he leaned back and looked at her.
"It was a surprise but I do understand, I apologize for falling asleep before we could… well I'm sorry I fell asleep" Sayori laughed as she swayed in his arms, his fingers gripped ahold of her waist.
"we had just survived a massive battle. I'm surprised the adrenaline lasted as long as it did" William smiled as he cleared his throat.
"well if your really wanting to change that, we could occupy a few hours later today, or tonight if that would be a better… opportunity" Sayori gave William a devious smile as she slowly closed the gap between them and clashed her lips with his. William gave into her and kissed her passionately back before they both pulled away and broke off any contact. William looked at her for a moment before he looked at her mask and hat, before he winked at her and took his blade, still in the scabbard and tied a good amount of cloth around the bade, making sure it was still and wouldn't come loose before he spun it and got into position. "by the way, what was in your hair, I smelled smoke and then something sweet to try to block that out" Sayori tried to hide a giggle but failed as she looked at him, picking up her Naginata in the process.
"water with apples and cheery blossoms soaked inside, I clean my hair with it, the smoke is from the charred wood, I use it to blacken" Sayori ran a hand on the side of her hair, careful not to disturb the ties and knots before she showed him her hand, slightly blackened by the charcoal William nodded as he moved his sword onto his right forearm and went into his top stance.
"willing to do a little sparing?" Sayori smiled as she grabbed her mask and hat before she thought for a moment before she undid the bindings around her wrists, her sleeves expanding and freely flowing before she tied the bindings around her blade.
"would this suffice or would you like extra protection" William shook his head as he spun his blade around.
"I think ill live" Sayori chuckled as she charged him.
Later that night.
William ran a hand though Sayori's hair as they laid in bed. The fire in the room keeping them warm as she rested on top of his chest.
"when I asked if you wanted to continue anything, I didn't imagine you wanted to lay here fully clothed. Sayori laughed as she drew a circle on his chest.
"did you know your heartbeat is slighting faster right now"
"I have a stunning beauty on top of me, who would be calm in a time like this" She smiled as she ran her hand into his shirt and closed her eyes, William felt the power of sleep hit him faster than he realized and before he knew it the two of them had let sleep drift them off somewhere else.
Two days later.
William, Gregor, Higur and Emily all rounded the corner of the gauntlet the massive stone heads struck intimidation and caution as they walked past them, but William looked around concerned. It was too quiet; the Vikings had fought them every step of the way and it made him think when it hit him. an arrow slammed into his shoulder and forced him to take a knee before he broke it. A horn sounded as the gates in the courtyard opened, arrows flew around as they all ran to cover and tried to move.
"AMBUSH!" William grabbed his sword and ran up the steps, knowing the fight just started.
