Chapter 5

Gunnar said to Satoshi, "Ah, there you are lass."

Gunnar said to Xavier, "Ah, father jokes! Your hilarious. "

Solidad glances at Gunnar and snorts derisively. "You don't know the first thing about me. So I would advise you to leave well enough alone and let the matter drop."

Satoshi is making a hasty trip through the tavern, trying to avoid Mesthak's eye, but she pauses long enough to nod to Gunnar. "Need to chat? Outdoors work for you?"


Kelay Way


Gunnar said to Satoshi, "Yes?"

Satoshi said to Gunnar, "Were you looking for me, perhaps? Seemed like it."

Gunnar said to Satoshi, "Nay, I was merely looking to the gods to send me something to do before I killed all those within that tavern."

Satoshi offers Gunnar a quick bow. "Perhaps they did?"

Gunnar said to Satoshi, "Perhaps they did. "Snowe Maiden"."

Satoshi winks in a feigned conspiratorial fashion at the giant. "Funny how the world works, really. Never know who someone truly is.

Gunnar said to Satoshi, "Yeah... because you look alot like this cat I tried to pet once..."

Satoshi said to Gunnar, "Question for you is... which of those two am I? Or am I both in one?"

Satoshi is playing enigmatic today, obviously.

Gunnar said to Satoshi, "Question to you is why have I backed you thus far off face value alone?"

Satoshi grins faintly. "Touche, Champion. Why do you, indeed. You don't strike me as the kind to follow a mere rumor. Perhaps you understand my attachment to those lands better than even myself."

Gunnar said to Satoshi, "I love my people, and I love my homeland. I see it within you that you care for the lands deeply, and your connection, while questionable, is valid non-the-less. My people are too volatile for themselves, and with the Jarl leading us we were viewed as primative and barbaric. We are not. I hope under your leadership, you can help my people get back on track, and open up new doors for future generations."


Satoshi nods along with Gunnar's words. "You're a sharp-minded one, I had no doubts of that. Thus, I'll be honest with you, not even I am certain if these rumors are based in fact or fiction. But, your assumptions are correct no matter what, I'm drawn to that land and see the potential that lies there, that goes ignored by others as they're only given images of... as you said, 'barbarians'. What you believe I can do, I can't do alone despite my powers. I do not know your people as you do. A partner, a guide, in bringing about growth is needed. That partner is not the Jarl."

Gunnar inclines his head as he watches the feline, the warrior examining her every move as he takes in her words. Its true, the lands have been negelected, the Empire that is now collapsed took so much from a land that had very little. The war with the exiles depleted what little they had left. And the Jarl, Ezezil, has become corrupt with fear and jealousy. Gunnar, now left as Champion in Vornir's stead, has been left with a kingdom in ruins, and people looking to him for answers. "Damn." He says more to himself than anything. "Lass, I don't care if your Aramoth himself, if you think yourself capable of leading my people, and they believe in you, you have my support." Then Gunnar eyes the magus, and raises a brow as he asks. " What do you have in mind for the jarl?"


Satoshi defers to Gunnar with a sweeping bow. "That, Master Gunnar, is where I first require a partner in this. Your people are ones of traditions and laws. Cultures with lesser structure don't even allow an outsider, as I am, to challenge their rule." Sighing, the feline shifts back and crosses her arms in a thoughtful gesture. "I must learn your laws and ways, and with your help, devise a way to stop the corruption before it chokes the last of the life in Frostmaw."

Gunnar ponders to himself, as she does have a point. Snow Maiden or not, the people will only allow the rightful challenger decide the fate of leadership. And after Parsithius' little fiasco, Gunnar -is- the rightful challenger to the throne. " Well... what if I could present an opportunity to you?"

Satoshi allows a smirk to play across her face at the words, her amber-flecked eyes glittering with the thrill of a hunt she can sense beginning. "I think there's a reason we've become allies. We both have much to offer the other, especially in this. So tell me, Champion, what opportunity have you to present today~?"


Gunnar allows a smirk of his own to play across his parched lips. " Aye lass, I have an idea that will leave the Jarl speechless..."
