Hey there, Hivians.
Sidereal's white stallion raced for the gates of Vahalla, they knew the horse therefore the gatekeeper opened the gates to the beast. It was obvious the horse had been panicked and it had red seamed on it's white fur, the mistress of the house shouted and cried because she had recognised the King's stallion riding back without the king, it could only mean one thing. But no search party was sent after the king, they just presumed him dead.
Sidereal had two brother's Uriel and Ivar; they were all members of the royal family, before their elder brother's passing his wife had failed to produce a son to take over the Kingdom, therefore it left a power vague in Valhalla. Though Uriel and Ivar were brothers, they had wives that were power hungry and loved the thrill of power. Their wives had come in between them. The nobles supported Uriel and Ivar had the support of the Queen, his mother.
The battle for Vahalla was eminent, a date had been set for the two brother's to have a duel that would decide the fate of their kingdom, they had created fractions between themselves.
Meanwhile
Sidereal had laid in one spot for quite a while, the world around him was blurry and he had started to recall all his childhood memories; like if his life was literally flashing in between his eyes. He didn't even notice when the farmer and his wife had beaten him up and took him to a healer in the village. He just laid there in between life and death. They tried his wounds, took off his armor and tended to him.
Sidereal woke up with his heart beating in his chest, he looked around him confused about where he was, there was another person in the room so he thought that the enemy had captured him. He was about to panic when he saw the old healer and then he let out a breath of relief. He tried standing up but he couldn't due to the piercing pain in his stomach, the healer rushed to his aid and gave him a sedative. The healer nursed him back to health and gave him a horse and cloth for his back.
Sidereal rode back with joy in his heart, he thought that his family had mourned him and tried to look for him after he fell in battle. He missed his dear wife, he knew that the thought of losing him would break her heart. All these emotions he felt as he rode the horse towards Vahalla.
On getting to the gate, he didn't see any guards. The kingdom looked a bit deserted because the shops at the entrance of the gates were empty and there was might noise as if men shouted on top of their voices coming from the market square. He rode his horse swiftly with fear and brought it to stop when he reached the market square. He couldn't believe his eyes,
Sidereal brothers had caused a civil war amongst the citizens of Vahalla, on one part of the army Uriel stood and on the other side Ivar stood the battle was about to start till everybody noticed Sidereal.
The End.
