Chapter 21 - Second Life

Life had been peaceful for the most part in the North except the raids which had been occurring more often but were quickly controlled by the army. Each time the men in the family went off to war the rest of the family would spend their time in trepid fear and pray that every one returned safely. Luckily they had managed to return with minor injuries up till that point. Unfortunately the Northern Barbarian tribes were filled with ruthless warriors and the army had suffered quite a few minor losses. Although not enough to cause any critical damage to the army itself, the families of those killed suffered heartbreaking pain.
