/Chapter one: Kjeld/

/The Highlands... Unlike the other norns Mountain norns have enormous strenghts,physically and mentally.. It’s this place that scares away even the most corageous of grendels. So far....

/Thinking of Aimée Kjeld got up. He was at his favourite spot in the Mountains looking over most of the Highlands. "I shall not rest Until Grahmus Is dead!" Kjeld thought by himself. He took a quick look at his club. A nail was dangerously sticking out of it. He sighed and decided to head back to his village. Following the path he could not think of Anything but his sister. He stopped knowing that there was only one thing to do. "I must visit Garath" Kjeld thought. Knowing how dangerous that trip would be he continued heading back to his village. Kjeld lives in one of two villages of the mountains./

Strong and smart as these norns are,in combat with Grendels, Grendels still have a slight advantage. This is why once in a while the villages get a visit from Grahmus and his gang of grendels. Grahmus himself is a tall Boney grendel,trained very well.

When Grahmus last raided Kjeld’s village,Kjeld was away with his friends. Grahmus had a very easy one on that,killing a lot of norns. Taking others as prisoners. Aimée was one of them. She was never heard of again.

As he entered his village,Kjeld stopped again, just to look of what's left of his precious village. Not too much,only his hut and one of His friends huts were still standing.

The rest was too severely burnt or wrecked to ever live in again. "Hiya Kjeld" Yann said.

"Yann,I must go to Garath to finish my training" Kjeld replied.

"I know, we got a message from Him."

"He asked if you can get there asap"Yann said. "But I will need companions and supplies for the Journey.."Kjeld said.

"He already anticipated that,Kjeld"

"A delivery Ettin brought supplies"Yann said.

Yann:"And In his letter he asked Me,Torgun and Lonas to join you"

Kjeld:"Well let's gather our other two friends then."

"Then we'll eat some,drink some,then rest for we have a long journey ahead".

"Torgun and Lonas are already asleep for tomorrow,Kjeld"Yann said.

"Lets join them"Kjeld said.. The two life long friends ate their days catch. Then they returned to Kjeld's hut for a long sleep.

Chapter Two: Day one, Arrash

It was a beautiful morning in the highlands. Kjeld opened his eyes and saw that Yann lied besides him.. Shivering of the cold morning. Kjeld woke him.. "Hmm I still have to get used to the temperatures here"Yann said.

"That trip to the lowlands didn't make a Norn out of you.."Kjeld said.

Yann: "It's a lot warmer there than here,you should go there once Kjeld!"

"Once i've dealt with that demon Grahmus"Kjeld replied dissapointed.

Yann:"Let's call the others,we must go now.."

Kjeld: "Yes,we must go now before It gets too late."

After packing everything on the lamas the friends started to head for the other side of the mountains. There lies Garath's cave. Or as Garath says: "Bear Mountain". It's a journey only very well trained Norns should endeavour.

Kjeld and his friends are. They all got their training when Garath still lived in the Village. Making weapons for the villagers. Like axes,swords and other cruel weaponry of war. It was necessary though,because grendels were seen in the mountains more and more.

One time Garath encountered a huge unknown Grendel with boney legs. It called itself "Grahmus" and it was obvious that this was no normal grendel. Garath was fast enough to outrun this brute,his son wasn't...

Irmon he was called and was always playing at the wrong place at the wrong time. Garath only saw that his son was eaten alive by the boney grendel. Almost crying to death,gasping his breath Garath ran to the village. There he packed his belongings then said to every norn that he was going to live In Bear mountain.

The four friends were first heading to Arrash.. The neighboring village of Ispen..(Kjeld's home village) There they were to Hire a guide and pick up the other friends. It was quiet when they reached the village. "What happened?"Lonas asked.

"It seems to me Arrash had visitors!"Kjeld answered. A little norn crawled out of his small burrow.

"Wait! little norn could you tell us what happened?"Torgun asked.

"Ehhh, large creatures,stinking and very mad"The small norn scaredly answered.

The small norn collapsed. Yann:"The poor thing"

"Let's pick him up and look for survivors to tell us what happened".

Kjeld:"I hope that this isn't what I think it is..."
