The brave two came across Hibernus and his Frost Guard at the base of the Frost Talons a few days later. And even if Hibernus were to lead his Frost Guard out to attack beyond the Norsgard, he would not leave the garrison unmanned.
Although barbarians are brutal and cunning, they could not possibly have made Etryna's most elite soldiers vanish into thin air.
Of the Frost Guard there was neither shadow nor trace, nor was there any sign of battle. Tai's voice echoed eerily amidst the numerous turrets and walls. "Open the gate, Hibernus! We answered the summons of the Frost Guard!" He called for reinforcements, and amongst those who answered the call were a fat Pandaman and a beautiful wood elf.ĭusk has fallen as the two approached Norsgard. Not a month had ever passed since Hibernus, the 194th Lord Commander of the Frost Guard, reported a great horde of barbarians amassing at the base of the Frost Talon mountain range. "Yes, the home of the Frost Guard, which stands as the first and last defending line against the barbarian invasion for thousands of years." Sylvia said with excitement. "So this.this is Norsgard?" Tai stammered.
At the base of its passage, stretched a stark outline of a long steel wall, broken up by bastions made from blackened stones. He waited for the torrent to abate, and pried his frozen lids open to see a towering mountain range of jagged peaks and ridges with a cleft in the middle, as if a giant had split the wall of ice and stone with a mighty axe. Tai clambered over the ridge that separated them two and was immediately blasted by wind and snow. The waist-high snow and howling winds did not seem to impede the seemingly fragile wood elf in the least.
"Tai, catch up!" Sylvia shouted from ahead. "This guy Hibernus better have prepared soft bread and warm ale already!" Tai bitterly kicked at the snow and narrowly avoided yet another rough tumble on the snow.
