the drunk and his grand story!!!
Chapter 9
"Attack!" yelled Yrynna as she led her solders into battle against the avarosian's tribes men, the battle was swift and brutal as their druvask boar tore through the avarosian men. Riding on the back of ice-tooth along with Thorva was sylas. Raising his hands he charges he summons an ice pillar that displaces the avarosian men and impales their war maiden. Seeing their war maiden impaled the men panic, before they get scattered as the boars continue run through them.
Standing on a hill and watching the battle, Ryncor was carrying Shyvana who was enjoying the scene before them "you were right, watching a battle can be very entertaining". "Told yah, I just wish the battle would be a bit closer." Finally broken the Vrynna winter's claw proceeded to raid the village, taking food, furs, and most of the wealth.
An hour later the men have gathered everything and begin to leave; sylas asked thorva "why did they not take more and kill more of their enemy?" looking back at him, she turns to ask Vrynna them question and she said "this is not a war, this is a raid if we kill more then we need to it will become a war and right now we cannot a ford an all out war with the avarosians, since we do not have the supplies and most of the wealth in freljord is focused in their territory."
"Then why not sue for peace?" asked shyvana, "because sejuani and ashe have a long standing beef and their issues has spilled into the people. At this point things will get a lot worse before they get better."
"What's north of freljord?" asked Ryncor, pausing for a moment Thorva responds "we don't know, most people who go north don't come back."
'Great so I'm going to have to go in blind to who knows what, without being able to maintain my true form all for some off their more valuable things.' Riding in silence the party pulls up to a tavern; "men we will be buying more of grages ale before we depart, so don't stay long!" Vrynna addressed her party, as they set off into the tavern named: The Tipsy Owl.
"They were real I tell you, REAL!! … {Hick} you all got' a believe me {Hick}"; the raid party walks into the tavern and everything stops. "HOHoho, now you want to listen to bjerg, now you want to know about the yetis and all the monstrosities I've seen up north; WELL TO BAD, I'm not speaking..." Turning the door old bjerg then says "see even these winters claw want to hear about; ornn, the yetis and all the monsters I've seen…."
"SHUT UP" said a man, but before he can continue, Ryncor silenced him with a glare "who is this Ornn and what do you know about the yetis and the north, as for these people ignore them after all we live in a universe were anything is possible; the death of gods and the ascension of men." When ryncor said that everything went silent then thorva translated it to shyvana and sylas.
"REALLY, I mean smart kid now listen up! I'll only tell you once {hick}", having no choice, everyone around the bar sat down to listen to who they thought was a crazy old drunk. "My adventure starts with me and my men going up to Yadulsk and renting a boat to sail past the ursine lands doing our best to hide, from the Volibear and his ravenous follower." Stopping him a man asked "what is a volibear? And I thought his followers were just a bunch nutes." Giving him a look of distain, bjerg said "listen to the story Fool! There's a reason I sailed past that land without getting eaten. And at that time I did not realize just how lucky we got."
"Going past the island we finally got to our location and the first thing we did was fight ageist a pack of wildclaws, bigger and vicious then anything on our land. After that fight we lost a third of our men, but we continued day after day we got attacked, trolls, wildclaws, Rimefang wolfs and so on. When we finally got to inland we had lost half the crew."
"At that time we saw anivia and my god were her wings beautiful, flying past our head we decided to go in the direction she came from and let me tell you what we saw was horrendous; frozen in true ice and standing on all four legs were who knows what. Getting closer we saw that on all their legs were human limbs it stood 150 meters high!" Standing up a man yell "wait, wait so you're telling me to believe this." Griping the man's neck ryncor says "shut up and listen if you think he lying go up north and prove him wrong."
"Getting closer we noticed some other types, some of them were 75 meters high and looked like demented trolls others with what looked like true ice coming from its chin and going past it head, in the shape of horns. At this point some men wanted to go home but my foolish self walked forward to get a closer look and we saw a slightly bigger version of the first one.
"But this one had six small arms coming out of its body and had what I think is a priest robe covering it upper body. Leading my men past, I though aniva herself wanted us to see this, but how was I wrong walking pest them we saw another lying down covered in snow. So we crept on it and as we got face to face with it."
"The monster stood up opened its eye; yes its eye and out of that eye came a giant laser that ripped apart the land and with it my men. As for me, I hid like a cowered behind it. The beast then stood up and proceeded to wander the land. Standing around 220 meters high and covered in true was who I dubbed SHE WHO WANDERS!!!" smiling from ear to ear ryncor asked "outside of true ice what other wealth is there"
Everyone in the tavern listen even closer and bjerg said "listen to the story! I finally made my way back to find my boat destroyed, so I had to walk around the ice sea and go through Ursiane Island. But before I got there I came across a yeti frozen in ice, at first I thought him to be mindless but let me tell you. Yetis make any freljordian look stupid beyond belief AND NEVER PISS ONE OFF they are as big and just as strong as the ice trolls, but a hell of lot smarter."
"Like all you fools, I thought him to be mindless, then he started talking our tongue. Human what are you doing here; my response" looking at bjerg in anticipation old bjerg said "where's your family, join my team and where do you keep your valuables. When I said that, I turned my head around him to notice mithril ore frozen with him!"
"He saw me looking at it, and just smiled before saying, come here human help me get free and I will give you some mithril ore. Hearing that I left knowing full well he was lying to my face." Another drunk raises his hand and asked "how do you know?" look at him one of Vrynna men slapped him silent, while others thought 'fool, greedy fool.'
"Making my way past that and through, Ursaine Island, I only had to run from one of his followers and it was then that I really knew we got lucky sailing past here. Running over the frozen ice sea I turned back to see. She who wanders laser, rip through the sky and tear the sky in two." Taking a quick drink old bjerg went back to the story "days went by I was hungry and tired, in the dead of winter I came across a grassy pasture in the middle of a snowstorm!" everyone starts yelling some say it's impossible others say were and Ryncor yells "shut up and let him finish!" 'This man is gold, he may stink like piss, but he's not lying and these stories will be the reason I get what I want from freljord.'
Continuing his story bjerg said "getting closer I saw a battle going on, the Volibear and his followers were chasing a group of people, as I turned to run the volibear said more food has come and I smell him! Hearing that I knew it was fight or die so I joined in the those attacked and fought, and before the Volibear lightning can roast us for dinner, a red gaint ram came up from the ground spewing lava and melting true ice with easy!" getting angry the crowd of people yelled "impossible you can't melt true ice!" standing up ryncor walked to brovar sword and said "watch this" walking to sylas and letting him channel the magic through him. Sylas put on a show by casting magic and it shut people up fast.
"Do you all see, this man is not lying, the real question is where is this Ornn, now continue your story." Nodding his head bjerg said "at that moment I thought, he was a beast no different from the volibear in my eyes. Cause let me tell you he fought just as violent, but when the fight was all said and done he saved our lives, told us his relationship between him and the rest of the demigods, Volibear, Ornn and Aniva. And after all of that I learned that he was Ornn god of the forge and let me tell you that ram can forge and if you ever won him over he could forge you anything with everything. This men is my story the story of bjerg the adventurer."
