Atticus

The next day , at North

Do you wish to see the army you you have just purchased , said Klick to Darticus . Darticus was housed in the same chambers of the building he dined , the afternoon yesterday at . 

Of course , replied Darticus 

Your wish is my command , says Klick sarcastically 

Darticus darts ahead . Klick follows him from behind , suddenly trying to catch up with the king

Meanwhile at the home at Darticus 

Rylo and his uncle are busy training their army . A rather large number of soldiers but not quite enough . The horses were less in number . And that was a issue that loomed large

Uncle , interrupts Rylo 

What about the horses . ? We are  falling short in numbers 

Yes , replied the Uncle . We have a lot of horses coming in from the North , if all goes well

That does not belong to us in the end . Rylo replied

Right now that seems to be our best option Rylo , replies his uncle 

Yes , yes . That in indeed our best option . Could Algreid be of any use ? Rylo asks

Algreid ! what could they possibly offer . Questioned his unlce

A couple of horses at best . What we really need is the North 

Yes uncle , you are quite right . Rylo seemed to agree immediately

I was actually thinking uncle , Rylo spoke slowly 

We could trade their Oak for some horses . The market outside Wilmir sells a lot of them at once . We can make a purchase 

 What are you implying son ? his uncle asks him

Rylo reverts to complete silence 

Remove that thought out of your head , at once . Even if you say things in such a way , it will not end well for you . His uncle scolded him

Yes uncle , i understand . Said Rylo . I made a mistake by uttering such words

His uncle patted Rylo's shoulders 

I understand your pain Rylo . It is the gods who chose where we are born and how much we are born into Son . His uncle continued

It is our duty to make make best with what is given to us . You are given a brother who would stand by your side at even the toughest of times . The gods did not give Oak , but he has given you something far greater . Far greater than the material richness . You have a family , you have the people .

Yes uncle , agreed Rylo

Be content with what you are given . The uncle finsihed

Rylo agreed once again . 

Now let us train . His unlce tossed him a sword . 

Rylo took the sword 

Go on , his uncle uncle directed him . 

Darticus in the north 

Darticus and klick watch the men train . Many in their horses . Many on foot . Many horses which are unmanned are seen trampling things . 

This is our great army , the armay of the north . Boasted klick 

Darticus agreed to the comment

Big and Strong , but they lack organization . He replied 

You dare to embarrass an army to a general . Said Klick 

I do not intent to embarrass . I just said what I saw . Darticus replied

My deputy would kill in you in a minute , Said Klick in anger

Maybe he will . Replied Darticus

Klick drew out a huge laughter 

If I was in my chambers in deep sleep . Then Maybe he could . Remarked Darticus

You continue to mock us , shouted klick and took out his spear

And Klick , the great general . You lack discipline most of all 

Klicks eyes tuned red and his spear came lunging towards the heart of Darticus . 

Darticus in a split second , drew out his sword from the back and broke the spear into half . And he lay a kick on the chest of the general who went flying to the ground 

Darticus calmly then went to put his sword back to his scabbard which was attached to his back .

The clouds grew grey suddenly . The training barbarians stood in silence . Their general lay down unable to get up . His back broken

Lightning struck to the ground followed by heavy thunder . 

Darticus stood firm in the pouring rain 

Train , he commanded . 

The soldiers of the north started to train in the pouring rain as the general stayed drenched on the ground .

Someone take him to his home . Darticus shouted to the soldiers . 

A couple of them came running . Took their general on their shoulders and carried him back to his home 

Klick hurt badly shouted back to Darticus . 

I judged you too early . 

What could a man from there be capable of ? shouted Klick and started to laugh loudly 

Darticus unperturbed continued to give instructions to his army

Mount your horses and train on foot 

Yes Sir , said the soldiers in unison
