Xandun Icehide & Davkul Mire

Dav listened to the Larthos’ proposal to join forces to have a better chance of becoming part of the group that the king was recruiting for. It seemed to be a good idea to him. After having seen her powerful display at the rooftop, Dav was sure that the Larthos’ would be a valuable ally to have. Also, even though he refused to honor his life debt, he still felt as though he should repay her somehow. “Very we-” He started, but was quickly cut off by his brother, who had spent the last few moments in disbelief at the Larthos’ words.

“To hell with the both of you!” Xandun exclaimed, throwing his arms up in protest. “Only fools refuse the service of a life debt!” he told the Larthos’ as he pointed accusingly at her. “…And you Mire Born!” He turned his attention to Dav. “You spit on the pride of our mother! On the pride of her ancestors, MY ancestors! You have always been a pathetic weakling but this is a-”

“ENOUGH!” Dav raised his voice to silence his brother, then turned to face him. “You will be silent.” He ordered in a flat, yet menacing, tone. “You will go and wait for me until I have concluded my conversation with the Soul Alchemist.” He finished, pointing to the spot by the pond where his brother’s axe still lay. He returned his brother’s angry gaze, not flinching as the large blue Nerion clenched his fists. “Now.” He commanded his brother.

For a moment, it looked as though his brother would strike Dav. Xan’s muscles tensed and he have Dav the death glare, but after a few tense moments the large warrior turned around grudgingly and marched toward the pond. He did not stop to hop the fence, instead he struck the top few bars and stepped over the splintered wood.

Dav turned to face the Larthos once more then picked up where he had left off. “Very well Soul Alchemist, I and my brother will join forces with you.” His words were a more relaxed, but his demeanor was still a bit tense from his altercation with his brother.
