The Vandigant Warriors

She had heard of the Vandigant. In whispers. They were from the North, from the valleys. Warriors. Vicious murdering tribal men. It was said that Vandigant men ate the hearts of those they conquered. It was said that the Vandigant took all they wanted, destroyed all that they did not, and were like ravenous wolves among sheep towards captured women. They were here, on Henegi land, at the king's request. Heading towards the main village at full speed. Heading towards the castle. They were here to kill the serpent. They were here to claim half the kingdom, and take the princess as their own. Aliyda, last of the Norsen witches, would rather die than allow them to succeed.
