Chapter 21 - Armies (1/2)

While everyone went to sleep Theoric stayed up a little longer to talk to his wife, using the ring to telepathically communicate.- 'Sigyn, Sigyn my love are you there?'

Sigyn who was sleeping in her pink pj's woke up groggily, rubbing her eyes- ”Theo? Are you back, where are you?” she asked excitedly as she started to perk up looking around.

Theoric already realizing what might be happening pinched the bridge of his nose feeling embarrassed for her as he asked- 'Sigyn, don't tell me you forgot that we have rings to communicate, I'm still on Gundersheim fighting.'

Sigyn with a sheepish smile still talking out loud- ”Hehe... Maybe.”

Theoric said in full seriousness- 'Well make sure you don't forget about the rings, you can use them to verify if the person your with is me or not.'

”You don't need to worry my love, I would never betray you, if that stupid man comes around again I'll kick him in the balls,” she said raising her fist in the air with righteous fury.

Theoric for some reason started to feel a bit of pain in his own when she said that- 'That's good... Anyways wanted to check in and see how your doing and let you know everything's fine.'

Sigyn started sniffling- ”You better stay safe and come back to me, I really miss you.”

Theoric consoled her- 'Don't worry everything will be fine, I'll talk to you again later, good night my sweet.'

Sigyn- ”Good night my love.”

At first light, they headed back to the sh.i.p.s at a quicker pace than when they left, drawing closer they heard the tale-tell signs of battle.

Clearing the hill they saw a battlefield of Asgardians fighting an army of Rock trolls in fully suited armor making the fight tougher than expected for the Asgardian army who thought they wouldn't have so much gear.

Theoric- ”This doesn't seem right, I feel like something is off.” he said while thinking of Loki, could that crazy bastard be helping them even now.

Vott- ”Not sure what you mean, this is normal for a war.”

Theoric shook his head- ”No, they shouldn't be this geared and prepared, already fighting us soon after we land.”

Vott pooh-poohs him- ”Your thinking too much, Asgard has many enemies that would lend aide to anyone we fight, but they do it secretly as not to get caught and draw our ire.”

Vott then scowled- ”But your right about one thing, something is off with the way we were sent away and never contacted, I'm guessing Herlu is going to try and use desertion as an excuse against us.”
