Chapter 13: The Beginning of the Norwegian Invasion

Kyral stood in front of the temple facing his fifty thousand soldiers. “Let us conquer Norway.” The soldiers held up their guns with shouts.

They attacked quickly, overcoming the northern half of Norway, killing all those who stood in their way.

In Oslo, the Prime Minister was in a meeting with his cabinet when a soldier burst in and spoke out of breath, “Sorry to interrupt, Prime Minister.”

“What is going on?” Prime Minister asked.

“The northern cities have been attacked. We don’t know by who,” said the panicked soldier. Everyone look around in shoch

“Do we have our airfields?” asked the Prime Minster.

“No, Mr. Prime Minister, they have all been taken,” the soldier replied.

“What do they look like?” asked the Prime Minister. “Any identifying insignia?”

The solider regained his breath and said, “From what I have been told, they have black leather armor and they carry the Symbol of Darkness on their chest plates.”

The Prime Minister closed his eyes and sighed. “I know who attacked our cities.”

“How would you know?” a member of the cabinet asked in disbelief.

“They have attacked us before. As Prime Minister, I have access to a historical account of the battle that occurred two hundred years ago that they kept of the history books,” said the Prime Minster.

“So who is the aggressor?” asked another member.

“The Lord of Shadows,” grimly said the Prime Minister.

“What are we going to do?” asked the minister of defense.

“We are going to fight. Mobilize all military personnel for full combat status!”

At the Sharp Thorn camp, Kira was sparring with Rashid. She sent a palm thrust to Rashid who blocked it and motioned her to end the spar. “You have improved by leaps and bound in the last month.”

“Thank you, Master Rashid.” She grabbed a towel off a post.

A man ran up and said, “Commander Kin wants all warriors in a meeting. It‘s an emergency.”

The two headed to the command tent. Crowded inside the tent were warriors from the camp.

“Scout report,” said Kin.

A man knelt before the commander. “Commander Kin, I have heard from my informant in Norway. The Lord of has launched an attack.”

“He is moving too fast, as well as recklessly, unless he is confident of his successes,” said Rashid.

Kin sighed. “Nevertheless, we must send some help. I need some volunteers for a mission that will be very dangerous.”

Kira stepped forward and said, “I will be honored to take this mission.”

Seeing this, ten more volunteers stepped forward.

“Kira, I am placing you in charge,” said Kin.

Kira was shocked. “Why me? I only just joined you and renounced my ties to the Lord of Shadows. Yet you trust me to lead your soldiers?”

“I think it is time to give you a field test, Kira, and see what you can do,” said Kin.

Kira looked down at her feet unsure of herself and said. “What is the mission?”

Kin explained. “We need you to lead a mercy mission to evacuate the southern towns in Norway.”

“Did the Prime Minister request it?” asked Kira.

“He did. He requested we try to save as many civilians as we can,” said Kin.
