important requirement is taking Oria's home planet Earth.  You must try to keep Oria and his fleet out of the Azortec 3 rd Quadrant.”
    Shalustra calmed down and replied, “Yes we know.  I believe you will find that substantial progress has already been made on that account.”
    “Yes, however we all know Oria will manage to find another way back to Earth.  However, don't worry about it.  I'm counting on him finding another way back to Earth.  We will be waiting for him there with a large fleet ready to eliminate him once and for all.  When Oria is finally destroyed, you can have your mines, and your partners in the Azortec High Command will become further indebted to you.”
    Shalustra replied.  “Yes Commander, you're right.  Labasto and I can settle our differences elsewhere.  They should not be part of this deal.”
    “Agreed, Labasto, my Chief will take you down to the galley. Have fun; and Shalustra, is there any way that I can serve you while we wait?”
    “No, definitely not!  Besides, Labasto is too much of a jerk to take very long.”
    Retilia laughed. “Yes, I believe you're quite right.” He added in his thoughts “yes, Labasto is a weak wimp”.
    True to Shalustra's prediction, Labasto returned in less than 20 minutes.  The two then departed the Yasinomot and started their return to Azortec.  Commander Retilia gave orders to head to Earth.  He would drop off some of his crew trained to sabotage human political systems and begin the process of taking control of the planet.  He would meet up with the Azortec traitors in another year when his plan would go into full action.
     
    Oria’s Heritage
     
    It was a bitter cold October morning as Olaf Stoneax stood in the doorway of his lodge looking towards the Oslo Fiord.  The last few weeks were a blur.  King Fairhair was deceased and his son, Erik Bloodax, was ruthlessly expanding his own kingdom conquering his brothers.  Bloodax was given his name because he slayed 7 of his 8 brothers.  After killing each brother, he took over his Kingdom.
    Olaf had served under King Fairhair and had no desire to get caught-up in the family feud between his sons.  Unfortunately, for Olaf, King Bloodax planned to smite Olaf and his family.  Olaf had not submitted himself exclusively to Bloodax, and Bloodax was not about to let that crime go unpunished.
    For Olaf to escape the wrath of Bloodax, he knew his family would have to flee their home and travel to the distant land.  It was not likely Olaf could find any place close to settle his family and members of his clan.  The French in the south had grown stronger and no longer would welcome anyone of Viking descent.  England, Scotland, and Ireland had also built defenses up against the Vikings.  Olaf had the misfortune of living at the end of the Viking era when neighboring countries growing weary of Viking raids built stronger defenses against them.
    It was the wrong time of the year to start an ocean voyage.  The Atlantic Ocean and North Sea became extremely rough during the fall and winter months.  However, it still offered Olaf’s clan the best chance of survival.  If Olaf and his clan attempted to stay, Bloodax would certainly catch them and slay his clan.
    Several days ago, Olaf ordered his clan to prepare both of their war vessels for an extended voyage and permanently leave their homes.  All preparations were now complete and everyone was ready to board the vessels and set sail the next morning.  Normally, the night before a voyage, Olaf and his clan would throw a huge party.  There would be plenty of drinking and good times.  This night was different.  Everyone felt emptiness and a growing fear of the future.  No one, not even Olaf, could predict where would finally end up.
    Olaf came back inside his house as others from his clan arrived and entered the great hall for a final breakfast together.  It was a small meal since nearly everything was packed and on board one of the boats.
