[Eyvind Redbeard]

The man smiled and turned to clean some more glasses. It had been a long Brightening and all he wanted was to finish cleaning the common room and get some sleep to wake up early in the morning and prepare a breakfast to his guests. The man was woke up from these dreams by Aegis request.

"Hrr...yes, of course. In a moment."

And he started filling two tankards with fresh ale. The men who were sitting in the corner had a battered look in their faces. Their clothes were spartan, tigh black leather pants with long mounting boots reaching their knees. Their torsos were covered with sleeveless leather jackets with some leather strips with silver skulls on the points falling from their shoulders. Their hair was strange, with all their hair shaved from their eyebrows down and a long ponytail falling over their back. The men were silently sitting and drinking on te corner of the common room. On their back each one carried a long black wooden case with some five feet in lenght, each with a detailed hilt showing up on the top and bottom.

When Aegis waved they turned their heads to the Minotaur. Their eyes were light blue and full of life and intelligence. After Aegis' greeting they remained silent for a moment. Then they smiled and raised their glasses to him. The men, twins as he now could see gave him space to sit and even pulled a chair to him from another table.

"Serale, Aegis! We are Argarsis and Boranius. Of course you can!"

Said Argarsis. The bartender showed up with the mugs and placed them over the table. The twins looked to them slightly confused and he said.

"With compliments from him."

The man smiled as he spoke and walked away.

"Oh...I am terribly sorry, Aegis. But we are not allowed to drink alcohol, at least when we are on a mission."

Boranius said. Argarsis shook his head and spoke before his brother could continue.

"Aegis you seem to have walked a long way before you arrived in here. Where do you come from?"

He smiled to the Minotaur.
