Of Steel and Ships

III - Defeat

Asbjorn touched his hoof. Sven seemed to be breathing. He was alive. But for how long?

The days moved by, then months, until there were but nine moose left.

"Sven. Please... Wake up." Asbjorn begged.

The ship hit land. The Equestrian guard was waiting for them. Asbjorne the mighty, Brandr the clever, Einar the wise, Gunnhilld the terrible, Halldor the dexterous, Halvden the firebrand, Leif the Eldest, Odvar the survivor, and Olav the resourceful, all galloped to battle, and were struck down, save for Asbjorne. He and Sven were taken to Canterlot for questioning.
