Jorias Bloodstill is sitting in his chambers in deep thought .
The rain hammers on the shudders without end . "Atleast it washes away the blood" he ponders with a sigh of defeat.
The recent turmoil in the city he called his own has aged the lord of the free city significantly .
He sits and stares into the flames from the fireplace , not noticing the giant redhaired man stepping out of the shadows.
"Lord Bloodstill " The Giant man speaks , a voice as smooth as silk yet powerfull as thunder.
Jorias goes for the shortsword hidden near the fireplace " GUARDS ! ! TO ME " he yells . .
Two soldiers , Redmists finest, barges through the door .
The bearskin cloaked man raises and hand smiles " Fear not " The Guards pushes themselves between Bloodstill and the stranger.
"Had I wished yer life milord" he continues calmly " I' d be dancing in yer guts and usin yer limbs as drumsticks" The sheer power of the mans word makes Jorias instantly realize that they are true and even more so for his guards that leaves in a hurry when they are dismissed.
Jorias , still shortsword in hand, steps a few closer to the door "then what do you want ? "
The red haired man follows the Lord of Redmists movement with his eyes.
"Oh , just to educate you a bit " he smiles and his wolflike teeth shows even more.
He takes out a scroll case , beautifully crafted with carvings of several predators from the animal kingdom ,The lid in one end resembles wolfs head and in the other a hyena snarls revealing its fangs. Jorias catches it very clumsy, as the stranger tosses it casually in his direction.
The stranger steps towards the shadows . And with a sly "enjoy" he leaves the lord alone to his reading.
As Lord Bloodstill read through the papers left to him by the stranger , his despair is turned to optimism .
One thought was dominant through his mind as he finishes reading .
"the captain is finished "
He stands from his desk " Guards !" he bellows .The two guards comes in , expecting the worst, the look of relief from finding their lord unharmed is very clear.
" I want Captain Hallomein arrested on sight and brought before me . . .. Any means necessary "
" yes sir , at once . . ." The look of confusion is as prevalent as the prior look of relief.
"Captain Hallomein ?"
Jorias takes a few steps forward " Yes , "Captain" Hallomein . . Do it ! NOW ! " he yells at them.
The guards exchange a look ,still braided with confusion. " yes sir " they leave the room, Jorias takes the papers and stuffs them gently into the scrollcase.
He smiles to himself as the thought rings louder every second " The Captain is finished"
