A Blessing In Disguise?

King Askild sat in silence as he wondered what step he had to take for the wall to fall but his thought process was cut short because of the arrival of Erik. Erik was given the go-ahead after a brief conversation with Askild to provide them that backup in case they ran into enemies from Vestfold, they were lucky Erik was there because there was no one as crazy as him to stand in front of a horde of charging horses.

"We are back," Erik said and Sven noticed that Oskar was not with them and sought to find out why. Erik, however, looked him straight in the eye with a sickening grin plastered across his face.

"Oskar is dead, he died like the pig he is," Erik blurted out, trying to get under Sven's skin but all Sven did was smile upon this revelation as he looked to the skies.

"Hahaha! You got to Valhalla before me," Sven's voice was not one of sorrow but celebration.
