(PS: I wrote this a long time ago and I have NOT finished reading ROTAI at that time)
For a short summary, Thord used a totem of undying during his betrayal and faked his own death, so Walda wouldn't be able to set him up against Archie again.
In the far future (After Archie was taken in by the heroes after freeing him from the Orb's control) Archie and the heroes had this mission to get rid of a supposed illager spy camp that settled close to a village. when the heroes arrived at the camp, Archie found out that the one who was in the camp was Thord, Archie manages to convince the heroes to leave this situation to himself. Once he faces Thord, Thord goes on to explain to Archie about what happened to him and the two made up in the end, and Thord eventually settled someplace else. I guess you could say this old fic was possibly a bit of a ship between Archie and reformed Thord inspired by another fanfic?
I want to know what you think of this, and if I should re-write this or not!
