Chapter 6-Draka

The room stood still and as all eyes landed on the towering 18 year old, There was not an ounce of fear in his eyes and he looked over at his uncle. "It's good to see you uncle" he spoke swiftly and with a shot of his eyes laid on ingrid and he reached into the thick black fur coat and pulled out a folded piece of paper.

Igrid's eyes flushed with water and as she stared at the note, Her brother was learned in the art of script back in the old country and she knew he didnt like writing but to see draka pull out a piece of parchment she knew only he could have given this to the boy. Everyone watched the exchanged but no one spoke.

As ingrid took the parchment draka turned and began walking out of the hall, Swords lowered in front of him and the men quietly retreated a few steps back. "I'll be coming to see you" Kollton shouted and the back of youth, "I'll be their waiting" replied Draka. The doors of the hall swung open and he and his coat vanished in the mist of the night.

"Everyone OUT!!" Kollton wasted no time in ordering his vassels and Captains and the hall quieted down and everyone disspersed. Ingrid stood thier staring at the parchment and as Kollton and Cassus stood to the left and to the right of her, She broke the seal and began to read it.

"It looks like im dead my sister and I wont beable to look after you anymore, Tell that shit of a man Kollton to take care of you and his son, I've done all I can for him and he has become strong enough to do for himself, watchover him he's likely to kill before think,but I guess thats how I raised him, I should have brought him back sooner but there was nothing for us to come back to, He's the son I couldn't have the gods didn't bless me with such a gift but I've always loved you and I will see you in the halls of Vallhala."

....

Draka's back loomed around a few of the house and hut corners until and a figure stood in his way, By the curves lingering off the body you could tell that it was a female, Draka's senses told him so and he chose to keep walking without paying her any attention, As there shoulders passed each other the girl spoke, "You killed my father" she said and so he stopped.

Without hesitation his Ax slide from his back and down his right hand with a swift kick of his heel to the shaft of the ax it swung with percision for the girls neck, but before he could lop off her head she shouted "THANK YOU!!" Draka's hand froze and slowly decsended he swiftly slide the ax back up the coat and continued walking towards the cities gates.

In no time he stood on the hill gazing at the mess and shit litterd around and his masters home in complete disaray. He pulled off his coat and unstrapped his ax off his back and thrusted it into the near by tree. With a smile he dug a hole and and lit a fire, he began throwing every and all trash into the pit, hours had pass and he managed to clean the entire place out and break down his masters old hut.

As he sat down and at the edge of the blazing pit, the sound of slow foot steps came strolling up the path of the hill. Draka tilted his head and looked at the figure that was now standing beside him and staring at the blaze himself. "So you know?" Kollton voiced his question without looking down."It explains alot but I could care less" He replied and tossed a log into the fire. Kollton looked down at the child he couldn't claim and spoke once more "There's nothing I can give you as your father", Draka all most stabbed him.

He resisted the urge and looked at the man in his eyes "Grindal was more of a father than both of you combined so i'm of need of nothing, but I will be taking this hill and area" Draka shot back, Kollton remained silent at those words and only nodded "You have taken the life one of my raid captian's and by law I should kill you in return but I will be placing his raiding party in your hands, We will be raiding the eastern clans.

"MY PRIORITY IS FINDING MY SISTER SO I'LL BE HEADING TO THE WEST" Draka shout a stern demand but before he could finish his statement kollton held his had in front of draka's face, "Your in my lands and There have been no signs of your sister for as long as you've been away and even if you go you wouldnt beable to tell who she is, If you want this hill and area the this is my demand.

Draka quieted down and stare at the blaze and responded with a nod of his head. kollton tilted his head gazing at the now empty place that previously held one of the most terrifing men he knew now reduced to rabble and being inherited by his illegitimate son he lemented at how cruel life was but with a grit of his teeth he proceeded down the path of the hill. Draka stood up as the sunrise brought light to a dark world.

He pull his ax and went to work on the shake chopping down every wood and cloth straps in his path, everything was thrown into the pit and burned and the fire licked and roar the morning away. He stood at the center of where the hut should have been and began digging at the earth fligging dirt and rocks all over he forced his hand deeper into the earth untill he felt a sharp prick to his finger.

The edge of a box drew some off his blood so he jerked his hand back.
