Snippet #8274

The Khan at the head of his elite troops (from now on referred to as the Thyns) notices the strangely marked woman approach. He quickly appraises her, she carries a scythe in a manner that speaks of her knowledge of its use and not just for farming. When she speaks he does not quite understand her words but he realizes from her body language that she is not issuing a challenge. He turns to his Thyns and says, "Bring forth the carts." The Thyns step aside and the men pulling the carts to come to the front of the army. The Khan walks over to one of the carts and pulls a crate from it and brings it over to the strange woman. He sets it down and opens it to reveal iron knives. "We bring these," he snaps his fingers and a man runs over with a piece of wooden furniture, "and these to trade. So says I the Khan of Khador"
