Asgarth the Invincible: Chapter III

An epic battle along the dirt road of the village ensued, but unfortunately the murderer was a lot stronger and better at fighting than Asgarth, who was soon left unconscious in the street. When he awoke, covered in his own blood, the murdered had fled far, no man knew whither. “This is bullshit,” muttered Asgarth, dusting himself off.

Mounting his steed, Asgarth heading back across the hills to seek out Jarl Harald and deliver unto him the fateful tidings. As he passed the royal city of Sargoth, he was set upon once again by sea raiders.

In moments he was in chains once more. “This is bullshit,” he muttered as the sea raiders dragged him around the country for two days. Eventually, seeing his chance, he escaped their clutches, took his horse and continued anew upon his quest.

He came to the presence of Jarl Harald. “I have failed thee,” he commiserated. “The killer is escaped.”

“That is a disappointment,” said Jarl Harald.

“Hast thou perhaps another quest by which I might prove my mettle?”

Jarl Harald thought a moment. “No,” he said.

“This is bullshit,” muttered Asgarth as he walked away. He would just have to find another lord, again.
