Shattered In Rebelion
Nathaniel:
I take Vector's hand as we rush through the shadows to where I saw the light in the grand hall. As I suspected, the whole tribe was gathered into one place.
At the front stood a man with a beard. He had on no clothing other then some pants. He had many tattoos across his right arm. To my understanding those tattoos meant he was like a demigod.
"In Valhalla the chosen warriors fight and kill each other everyday," The Tattooed man spake to my tribe. "only to arise unscathed in the evening to drink and feast in Odins great hall, awaiting the great battle Ragnarok."
Across the hall I could see Alvin crouched onto the ground, supporting himself with his walking stick. A guard stood by him, watching him, making sure nobody was making any moves. A few rows behind him I saw Stinger with her cousins Uriah and Glow. They had no weapons with them. I could see a giant pile of silver and gold weapons piled taller then three men on the other side of the room. That must be where Stinger's sword was as well as the others stuff. I looked to see if anyone else I had known survived. Skadi caught my eye, she was standing, holding a pice of cloth to her side. She took a nasty blow, luckily for her I can fix that. Magistrate was the only one I couldn't catch my eyes on for a while. It took me almost five minutes to finally find him, his bright red hair finally caught my eye. He stood at the front of the room, chained up from head to toe. I had no clue what he had done, but I needed to know.
Those people: Alvin, Stinger, Uriah, Glow, Magistate, Skadi, Vector and myself, were all I needed to form my team. We could be called "The Immortals" that sounded cool and would strike fear into the hearts of our enemies. But how could I get them out of here?
"Valhalla is where only the worthy go." The Tattooed man spat up front. "Where if your trickster of a god now? He has abandoned you. I am your new leader now!"
The guards stoped their feet and yelled, my tribe stayed silent.
"Names Jeff the Ruthless." The Tattooed man spat onto Magistrate. "I am the demigod of the war gods! I am you leader. Now bow to me."
What else would you expect my tribe to do. They all bowed, even Alvin and Stinger. Ever person bowed except Magistrate.
"Bow to me!" Jeff screamed at him.
"No." Magistrate stayed standing. Jeff kicked him in the gut. Magistrate didn't move.
"Boy." Magistrate addressed Jeff. "I got an eight pack. Punch all you want, I won't feel a thing."
This only made Jeff angrier, he continued to punch Magistrate everywhere. Despite all the punches he took, Magistrate was a brick wall. Jeff eventually gave up trying.
"You people will respect me." Jeff spat. "Or else you will face death like your fellow citizen will."
The guards took Magistrate away.
"You will give me all your food, supplies and everything you own." Jeff commanded. "Your I'll work day and night until you bleed from every pour in your body then you will work twice as hard. You understand? Leave and if I hear any of you complaining I won't leave my sword at my belt."
My tribe had never moved so fast to get out of an eating hall. I caught Alvin's eye as he made his way out. He gave me a look that told me to stay there. In a few minutes Alvin had made his way to our hiding spot.
"Are you crazy?" Alvin slapped me. "Your insane!"
"Owe." I stated.
"You don't take up arms to fight with your brothers." Alvin slapped me again. "You leave us all to the mercy of the Saxons! How could you?"
"I'm sorry." I tell my friend. "But I froze, I don't fight. I never have, I wanted to be a doctor."
"Yeah and how far did that get you here?"
"Actually."
"I don't want to hear your sass." Alvin hit my leg with his walking stick. "I need a plan."
"Well lucky for you I have one."
"Oh really?" Alvin glared at me. "What's it called?"
"The Immortals." I smile.
Alvin tilts his head. Oh crap, he wasn't there for my inner dialogue plan making.
"I want to form a rebellion team." I explain. "I want you, Vector, Skadi, Uriah, Stinger, Glow, and Magistrate. We will defeat this Jeff guy and take back the tribe."
"One problem." Alvin points out. "Magistrate is being executed at this very moment."
"He is?" I gasp. "Dang."
"And what do you plan to do about it?"
"Well let's go rescue him."
"Haha." Alvin mocks me.
"No seriously." I help Vector off the ground. "We can intercept between here and the execution and rescue him. He will only have a few guards and we can take them."
"That's actually a pretty ok plan."
We stay hidden in the bushes as was crouch to walk along the dirt. Careful not to make any noise. We pick up Stinger and her cousins Uriah and Glow along the way. Magistrate and his two guards are in our sights now. We run into someone in the bushes. Literally run into.
"Loki? Alvin?" I hear her voice, Skadi. "What are you doing here?"
"Rescuing Magistrate." I state, running my head. "What about you?"
"Same." She says. "Loki, where were you in battle?"
"Names not Loki." I tell her. "It's Nathaniel. I am not a god."
"That's explains a lot."
"Hey." I take offense to that.
"Sorry." She shrugs. "But you suck."
She hops over the bushes and sweeps her leg under one of the guards, he falls to the ground and she wraps her leg around his neck. The other guard jumps into action. Stinger slides under the bush besides me, she chucks a stick into the guy's shoulder. Catching him off guard as Glow runs to punch him in the face. Both guards are knocked out in less then thirty seconds. I run to Magistrate's side to untie his chains.
"Thanks." Magistrate's accent is filled with gratitude. "Loki, God of tricks. Where were you earlier?"
"I am not really Loki." I snap. "Names Nathaniel."
"Nathaniel." Magistrate smiles. "Hi."
"Let's go." I grab him, pulling him into the bushes with the others.
Stinger sits beside me. Some other guards walk by as she kisses me on the lips.
"Sound the alarms!" The new guards yell. "The prisoner has escaped!"
They run off back to Jeff. Stinger let's go of me.
"Good to see you darling." She smiles, brushing her white hair from her face.
"You too." I blush.
