Norfthurn Arbun's Frost Realms

On a throne of ice sits a king, the orc king as he is known.

"My father... my father, humans appeared in our kingdom... from what I heard from our slaughterers they are on their way to Assix, they must want to do that class thing of theirs there you know, what will we do?"

The question comes from a young orc, with very sharp and pointed fangs that seem to make it very difficult for him to speak.

"We won't do anything, Arbun's icy territories are already a challenge in themselves, let them enter our domain... maybe even the venators will kill them since the North is their biggest concentration region."

The young orc, a little shorter than conventional height for an orc, just nodded in agreement and left the king's chambers.

Somewhere already in Arbun's domain, the delegation is stopped, apparently one of the carriages at the beginning of the queue has broken wheels due to having been frozen by the extreme cold of the place, and some workers are already ready to fix the said carriage while some royal knights protect them, at the same time the king orders other workers to reinforce the other wagons to avoid future obstacles like the one that will happen now.

The king demands various obligations from different people who nod in agreement, the king then starts to observe his subjects working while staying alert with his sakura knights in case something happens.

It doesn't take long until the back of the entourage is heard screams, cries for help and some of despair by the tone.

The king, in a state of alert, already draws his sword shining like the sun with several golden adornments, the great and famous sword Excalibur, a treasure passed down from generation to generation within the Sakura family. With a quick sweep of his arm, Yami stops Akarus from proceeding.

“My king stay here… we don't know what happened there, it's not safe for you to go… we'll send some scouts to check it out safely.”

From inside the royal carriage there was Akane's voice.

"Daddy what's going on?"

Akarus sheaths his sword back saying.

"Don't worry my little one it's just a setback, nothing more."

Akarus with an arm movement in an order, sends two of the Sakura Knights who were behind him to find out what was going on.

The two men soon mounted their white horses and left for the back of the caravan in order to find the source of the screams. As royal horses are fast, it didn't take long for the two to reach the end of the entourage and come across a scene of horror.

Two carriages are destroyed, one of them has its roof completely open... as if something very strong had ripped the roof off very brutally, the other is lying on its side, also very damaged, and all over the ground, white with snow, you can see red, the environment at the back of the entourage becomes hotter because of so much blood on the ground and in the wreckage. There are pieces of horses, guts thrown on the ground, but there is no way to discern if they are human or the poor animal since there are also pieces of dead humans, an arm, a leg and next to a young woman paralyzed in terror with both hands in the mouth a head fallen in front of him.

Immediately after seeing this scene of horror one of the youngest knights vomits and falls to his knees screaming.

“What the fuck is that, was it a venator?... no, it must have been those nasty beasts of the orcs sure it was them wasn't it... hurgh... hammff... hurghh..."

The young man tries to stop his vomiting, but without success. Already the other knight walks towards the woman who is in shock asking.

“What happened here my lady, can you tell me what happened to the others?”

The woman tries to pull herself together, but she can't her eyes are big her pupils look dilated, it's the face of someone who has seen something very horrible and probably won't soon forget.

Before he could try to ask the woman more questions without success, screams are heard coming from within the forest, they are high-pitched screams that apparently come from a child asking for help.

The knight without thinking twice runs into the forest passing through bushes that cut some of the fabric of his clothes.

"Hey... wait, don't go into the middle of the forest without backup, we need backup!"

Shouts the young man still on his knees, but in vain, the other knight who disappeared in the middle of the darkness of that woods is no longer seen. The young knight then pulls himself together and mounts his horse in order to go back to his king and warn him about what happened, but before he left he turns to the poor girl there on the ground still in shock, the boy was so scared who practically forgot about the woman.

"Hey... come get on my horse we need to get out of here before the one who attacked the entourage appears again... come on let's go!!"

He exclaims alertly, but without success, he is completely ignored, it's as if the woman's mind was no longer on that plane, but somewhere else.

The young knight without thinking much gets off the horse, grabs the woman quickly, catching her in his lap, throws her on the horse and runs away.

Meanwhile, the other Knight who entered through the undergrowth arrives in a part in the middle of the dense forest that is open only with a large tree in the center. Lying unconscious is a small girl leaning against the trunk of the tree, the rider begins to approach quickly to help her, but is

interrupted by his own instincts that make him retreat backwards in a quick jump of pure instinct, as if his body were acting even before your mind.

Behind that big oak tree, a sinister figure reveals itself, an enormous monster, its head resembles a tentacle with an opening where the face would be, in that opening there are several small serrated teeth and you can't see the bottom it's as if the her face was just that a huge mouth with very sharp teeth... her body is humanoid and very strong, in her hand she only has four fingers, three fingers and one thumb, but they are not common fingers, they are extremely sharp, there are no nails anymore yes sharp fingers. In its belly there is an opening that there is no way to see what it is inside, only darkness is seen, its legs are slimy, and its feet are paws like those of a horse, the creature finally also has a long, very sharp tail like its fingers.

The knight is paralyzed before such a creature, it is as if it emanates an intense aura of danger and horror. He gets down on his knees whispering as if he doesn't want to be heard by anyone else there.

"Um...umm...a superior venator...haha...this...this is impos..."

His whisper is interrupted by the tip of the creature's tail that pierces his head with enormous speed. The body falls heavily to the ground fluffy in snow, immediately that white turns red, the creature begins to howl as if celebrating another death, this howl seemed to be very loud with that some more at the back of the entourage managed to hear that and began an uproar, all very afraid of what was to come.

Strong and constant gallops are heard coming from the back of the entourage, it is the young knight returning with a girl behind a survivor of the attack.

"Hammfff... mmme...hammff... my king the entourage was attacked, it was a massacre, we have two carriages totally destroyed and many losses."

Turning to the young knight, King Akarus, with his hand on the hilt of his sword, asks.

“Young Yard where is old Krane?”

Without hesitation the Young Man called the Yard responds.

“He stayed behind, we heard screams coming from inside the forest and he didn't want to wait for reinforcements and went ahead... I decided to go back to warn them because the scene back there is pure horror... and if not If we act fast, we will lose more people.”

Yami takes the lead by interrupting Yard.

"He's right my king... it looks like a blizzard is coming soon, if we don't act soon to contain this threat, we could be stuck here longer than necessary."

Putting a hand in his beard Akarus analyzes the possibilities where they stand.

Hmm how strange this attack like that out of nowhere, Yami is right I have to make a decision quickly or if we don't lose more people, is it the orcs... it's not possible that they would be foolish enough to attack my entourage knowing that I am in it.

“Okay!!”

Akarus shouts in a firm and loud voice.

“I want three of the Sakura Knights present here to contain the threat, Yard you stay here with me to protect the royal entourage.”

Of the five Sakura Knights present there, three of them take the front before their king.

"Great, Kain son of Krane... Yotsuchi master of nature and Lyard the wall, you will be in charge of containing the situation on this excursion, bring me the creature's head!!"

Drawing his sword and sticking it to the snow-covered ground, Akarus finishes giving his orders by saying.

"And remember if men I don't take casualties... come back alive and tell me of your deeds, that you may be forever remembered and honored in future songs."

In unison the three knights present their scream.

“YES SUPREME KING!!!”

The knights riding their horses quickly leave for the incident site at constant gallops, they arrive at the place where it was described by the Yard, they all get off their horses tying them to nearby trees.

Yotsuchi, a man with long straight greenish hair, takes the lead analyzing the situation in the place.

"It's a mess here... it's the work of a pretty big creature it seems to me."

The other man younger than Yotsuchi, called Kain, wears the grandiose armor of the royal Sakura knights, an almost white silver armor with golden ornaments, just like the other knights present there, but between them there are some differences in the general appearance of their clothes. armor.

“You're right, this is terrible here... where did my old man go, Yard said he went deep into the forest, shall we go there now?”

Asks the young man with spiky black hair called Kain.

Before anyone present can answer Kain's question, they are interrupted by morbid noises, sounds of a creature feeding.

Kain without saying anything leaves towards the noise, being followed by the other two knights, towards the noises coming from inside the forest.

Gambit – Vanish

Says Kain as he disappears from the front of the other two knights and then reappears in front of the large oak tree, it doesn't take long for the other two to reach him, facing the same vision of horror that Kain sees.

It's his father being slowly devoured by a creature incomprehensible to the eyes, the creature doesn't even notice them there, it's too busy feasting on part of the man's head, its bites make a lot of noise, a piece of meat falls to the ground as soon as he pulls it off the head from the rest of the body.

“YOU FUCKY!!”

In a desperate cry, Kain uses his teleport gambit approaching the creature in order to deliver a quick cut on its head but is prevented by the animal's tail that throws it with all its strength against a tree.

“UUrggghh...cooff...hhamff”

On his knees he falls spitting a lot of blood, probably Kain has many fractures. The venator, who is now aware of the presence of the intruders in his feeding environment, can no longer ignore them, so he goes with great speed towards Kain, before the creature could cross Kain in half, the animal is prevented by Lyard .

Gambit – Steel Skin

The man known as Lyard the Wall, his skin now takes on a very shiny gray tone, the creature cannot cross his arms crossed in an x, protecting his companion from attack. Surprised by this, the creature jumps back like an animal preparing for a new attack.

The other knight named Yotsuchi soon uses his ability as well.

Gambit – Green Piece

From the ground begins to form a mound of earth that rises, molding itself into a humanoid shape that soon takes on the shape and color of the Yotsuchi knight. Yelling at the copy that had just left the ground, he delegates orders to his clone.

“Go to the delegation and report to the king everything that is happening here immediately!”

Without saying anything, his clone just nodded and started running at high speed back to the royal entourage.

Even though Lyard is a very big and strong man, he can also be very fast when trying to attack the creature in front of him, he manages to deliver a big punch from what could be said to be the abdomen of the venator.

But even though the punch is so powerful that it could tear a rock in half, that same punch has no effect on him.

The creature looks down taking awareness of lyard and with a very quick movement of its tail it throws it far away, taking it away from him and the tree where a girl is.

Kain even suffering damage from the last blow of the venator, he notices a strange behavior coming from the creature.

“Hey Yotsuchi... uuggf... the creature is... argff... for some reason it's protecting the girl so we don't get close to her...”

Yotsuchi listened very carefully to what his companion says and took the time to analyze the situation they found themselves in.

This creature is indeed unlike any other venator we've ever faced, Lyard's own punch didn't do any damage to him... normally a punch from Lyard would be able to destroy any form of defense of his enemy... and...because he is protecting the girl from us... he killed anyone who came near him but the girl... maybe he is a creature with some kind of conscience and is toying with the girl to use her as a meal later.

Lost in his own thoughts Yotsuchi barely noticed that the creature was already above him ready to throw a big punch at him.

Kain using his Gambit manages to get close to the creature long enough to deliver a kick that causes it to be thrown against one of the several trees there.

"Yotsuchi... wake up... we don't have time to analyze our enemy... arrggff..."

Kain completes his sentence spitting a lot of blood, probably he has already broken almost all of his constellations by this point.

"Forgive me dear Kain... you are absolutely right, I ask you to stay behind me... I will protect you."

Gambit – Green Piece

In a great scream Yotsuchi activates his Gambit causing three clones of earth to come out from behind him... at the same time from under his foot the ground begins to tear up showing huge and thick vines that come out of the ground and go straight at the venator who had already recovered from Kain's attack.

The vines grab him, immobilizing the creature... quickly, the three Yotsuchi clones leave to launch attacks against the venator, the clones' arms transform into sharp blades of earth.
