《Indomitable Marvel》21 - Armies

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 ships 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."
Theoric grinned- "Don't worry about it, how about we find an area to jump in and help out."
Vott contemplated what to do as he watched the battle, looking for the best place to send his men, he wanted somewhere that would give them a boost of reputation to fight against any accusations that may come.
The battle looked relatively even with some areas having a slight edge to the trolls while others had a slight edge to the Asgards.
The standout though was Thor, he barreled into the enemy, cutting a clear path wherever he went, making Theoric feel he still wasn't anywhere close to his strength despite now being above Loki.
During Thor's bull-headed attacks, some less experienced Asgardians tried to follow him but only ended up being surrounded and killed. Leaving a lingering feeling of regret to those who saw but could do nothing to help their foolish brethren who thought they could bask in the glory of Thor.
While Thor was helping tremendously, some tougher opponents eventually showed up in the troll army to face off against him, giving him a run for his money and slowing down the damage he could inflict to their army.

From their vantage point, Vott noticed a group of Rock Trolls, about their size, off to the side trying to sneak around a rocky outcrop and flank a group of Asgardians.
Vott pointing them out- "You see that men, let us go help them out."
Battles at the edges of wars were always the most hectic, the open unknown exposure, ripe for someone to take advantage of at any moment.
The Rock Trolls just about to jump out and take the Asgardians from the back were surprised to find their own back being attacked as they turned to see Vott and his men.
Vott led the charge followed by Theoric as the men charged down the hill letting out warcry's to distract the enemy from attacking the men they were aiming for.
The downside was the Rock Trolls were now prepared for their attack as they turned to face them.
Vott smashed right through the first troll who underestimated the downward momentum coming at him as he swung late and was sent flying from the impact into the rock wall behind where he crumbled.
This scene repeated a few more times across the field, giving them a slight advantage at the start as they followed up with another quick kill against the surprised trolls who were now fighting an uphill battle.
With the high ground advantage, Vott and his men were able to make quick work of the trolls despite their new gear.
Theoric meanwhile was practicing more difficult energy constructs as he began forming small swords before shooting them into nearby trolls, he needs to get stronger and master his new abilities, the last thing he wants to see is Thor killing Ulik before him.
With this thought driving him he raised his hands up as he formed over 20 small swords then waved them over taking out the remaining trolls and then some as the rain of swords pelted the rock wall behind them destroying it, leaving a pile of crumbled rock debris.
The armies fighting just behind it looked over to see what happened as the wall came down revealing the small group of Asgards standing over the bodies of trolls.

A Sinner's Eden
The Earth of the future is united under a single government, but not all things are well. The shape of the playing field may be changed, but the powerful still rule the weak.And those who do not conform with the rest of society are exiled to another world. A world that not even the technology of the future managed to tame.It should have been humanity's New World but ended up as nothing more than a penal colony. A place where the exiled are sent to die. Motivated by revenge, Magnus sets out on a quest to bring his own justice to his enemies. For that purpose, he is willing to go further than most others.But then he learns that if he truly wishes to change things, he can only find his answers beyond the gate. Having lived most of her life as an exile, Astra is a woman of few interests aside from survival and climbing the ranks of her clan.To achieve those goals, she certainly won't be squeamish when a chance literally falls into her lap, or will she? ——————————————————————————————— I am trying to go with a survival/medieval setting in this one. People from a technologically advanced society are thrown into a world where they can't maintain their tech. They are forced to rely on medieval technology where they have to make do with the limited resources they have and what little of their old technology is still working. Their gene manipulation allows them to have something akin to superpowers, but that doesn't help much against the monsters of their new world. Not sure yet whether sufficiently advanced technology will be discovered later on to count as magic. ——————————————————————————————— Author's Comment: I was asked about reading my work on other sites. The answer is simple: Currently, I am not active in any other networks than royalroadl.com. Only here, I correct mistakes and errors. If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website. The only one whom I actually allowed to have my work on his website is Armaell who invested the time to compile them into pdf. (http://armaell-library.net/author/andur)
8 927World Revisit
Having no collection of her past, a confused young girl ends up in world unknown to her. A world with the nature as their source of life and magic, but at the same time also the cause of their despair and sorrow. The world seems to be facing a dangerous calamity. Being treated as an intruder, she will have to gain the trust of the people around her and find a way to live through this mess. With not much hope left, what can be done to prevent it? Nobody knows for sure, but a battle of life and death is bound to come. NOTE: Consider this story as the first version. I want to keep working on it so that the story can actually finish at one point for future development. I want to eventually make it a webtoon comic, but the story still needs to be written and the art still needs be improved. So I'll keep writing for now, but expect the final result to be much better than the story now. Until then, I hope we can have a great time together with this writing experiment. Thanks!

War, it is said, is the anvil upon which the gods forge mankind. The kingdoms of the north have warred constantly since their inception with little lasting consequence - until now that the balance has decisively shifted, and the kingdom of Stanmark has risen into the ascendancy following a brutal takeover of their immediate neighbor in Waccewald. The weaker kingdom's nobility have submitted, their pride and might in the dust. But even as the conquerors step in to consolidate their victory, many of those who kneel conceal daggers behind their smiles. Deniel is a youth in the hinterlands of Waccewald in the days immediately following Stanmark’s takeover. As a mere commoner, his life hasn’t been overly complicated yet by the change – but as winter sets in, this is about to change. He, like many others, will be forced to make choices, the repercussions of which will echo into all the rest of his life. However long that may turn out to be.
