[Eyvind Redbeard]

The twins backed away when Aegis slammed his mug on the table. They didn't think the Minotaur would react so eagerly. It was good to have someone accompaning them in the journey and having one more soldier in their side in the coming war. Argarsis was the first to relax.

"Calm down, my good friend!"

He said with a joking voice.

"It is good to know you want to help us fighting this threat and we are glad you have some knowledge in how to do it."

He said with a smile.

"I am sure you will be given a good use by whoever is in charge there."

Boranius continued his brother's speech.

"And yes, we fight."

He said while pointing to the detailed hilt showing up over his right shoulder. If Aegis would look carefully he'd recognize it as a sword's hilt.

"We have trained since our youth in the use of the sword, two actually."

Argarsis turned and showed Aegis the detailed wooden case with the hilts coming out, one over his right shoulder and the other pointing down to his left.

"These are our swords, twins as we are."

The wiser twin said with a smile.

"So it seems we have a new companion to our journey. I think we should get some sleep now so we can wake up early tomorrow and continue south to Taralon to join the Provincial Army."

His brother nodded and stood up waving to the Inn's owner. The man disappeared to return carrying a bed with the help of an employee. The two disappeared again to get yet another bed and a third time bringing a larger and stronger bed to hold Aegis weight. After removing the chairs from the common room and pushing the tables to the walls to give more space in the center of the room their sleeping places were ready.

"Time to get some sleep."

Boranius said while taking his boots off.
