the tale of the cryomancer part 9

martin was walking trough the busy streets of Christiania as he kept his eyes on the hooded figure who was walking ahead of him, while the figure keep on looking behind him from time to another martin manage to keep out of his line of sight as he keep on walking, martin on the other hand was still wondering who this person was and why he had been spying on the fortress gate
as martin thought about it all the figure suddenly took a left turn down another street, martin walked faster to keep up and not lose him, as he turned the corner he stopped in surprise, the street was almost empty and the figure was nowhere to be seen, martin looked up and down the street to see anywhere he could have hidden only to find nothing he had just vanished into thin air

"what but how did argh!!" martin growled annoyed as he clenched his fist and threw it at the wall to his right, only for his fist to go right through it "what the?" martin said surprised as he let his hand do up and down a little to make sure what he was seen was real, until he finally walk through it and ended up in a small alley, as he walk thought it he notice two glowing crystals on each side of the end of the alley "magic crystals with a illusion spell on them, impressive" martin said as he looked down the alley and walked down it until it he came to end of the alley to find it been made a much bigger area that seams to have been forgotten to done something about by the worker that made the place
martin looked around the place and notice that snow on the ground had been walked over several times and in one of the corner was a small make shift bed made out of old jackets and other clothing's as well as some book in the other side of the alley, as martin looked around trying to find the figure he suddenly heard a set of foot steps behind him, before he could turn around he was hit hard in the left side of his head causing him to stagger back a little before regaining his balance and looking at his attacker
the stranger was running at martin right fist pulled back for a good hit for his face, but martin had other planes quickly he dodge the punch and grabbed the figures cloak before trowing him away from him ripping the cloak off the figure in the progress
as martin looks around he is shocked over what he saw, in front of him with a gray worgen dressed in a rater well made tunic and had a saber on his left hip, a saber that martin had seen before

"right" the worgen said as he looked up at martin "lets see what" "you are from the golden fang ain`t you!" martin suddenly yelled causing the worgen to jumped back in surprise and shock before asking "how in the name of the creator did you know that?"

"well how did you know?" fergus asked as he drank a shot of vodka that martin had given him

"the sword was the same one that the leader of the golden fang had when he meet you fath" fergus let out a growl "argon during the war of hellheim" martin explained

"so what the worgen was the leader of the clan then seen he had the sword?" fergus asked

"well no, you see after the rules are like this, each leader must have two kids and when they become of age of fifty, noted that worgen`s can live to be over two hundred years old then the current leader of the clan will pick one that will be the next leader and the other will be given the sword to show that he was not worthy to lead the clan" martin explain followed by a silent from fergus

"that`s terrible, i mean been told it like that and is forced to carry that sword to show that you were not good enough to lead" fergus said shocked

"well that is at least how it goes but the choice of who was the best choice was not always right and the one who gets the sword normal knows how to wield it better then the other one" martin said with a smile "anyway after a awhile i finally manage to open him up a little, his name was jegar and was the youngest son you the current leader of the golden fang clan and he had come here to make a deal with argon the involved his clan join argon side" martin explained

"but why did they not want to remained out of the war?" fergus asked

"ye that was the idea, but as time went on, more and more worgen`s were killed by the dark howl clan" "the dark howl" fergus asked "ye worgen`s master of stealth and assassination, and the only other clan that remained on the mainland of hellheim, the two other clans had fled by the end of the war and so far has not been heard from for over hundred years, but still remains a threat" martin explained "anyway seen as more worgen`s were been killed the leader of the golden fang finally had enough and wanted and alliance with argon so that his clan would be safer" martin explained

"right so you got jegar into the fortress then right?" fergus asked

"well no, you see at the time argon was not in hellheim and would not be back before at least a week, and as such while i spend half of my time in Christiania with jegar were we talked and learned some things from each other and other half of the day i spend with sarah helping her out with her cloathings and other things" martin explained "and after a week and after helping sarah out i left to get jegar to talk with argon" martin the suddenly looked down into the water with a sad look on his face "and when i left sarah said "bye martin and thank you for every thing" at the time i did not understand why she said this, but i would a little later" martin said as he let out a sigh and looked up
"after that i went to get jegar and we then just walk into the fortress" martin said

"and the guard`s did not stop you?" fergus asked surprised

"well of coursed the tried to stop us after all jegar was a worgen and were not allowed out side the fortress at the time so of course they stopped us and the captain of the gate got a bit to racist in front of me and jegar so i had to shut him up" martin explained

"and just how did you do that? punched im in the face or something?" fergus asked with a smile

"no i kicked in between the legs so hard that he ended up in the infirmary for a week" martin said with a big grin, as martin said this fergus looked at martin with a face of horror and shock

"you did WHAT!!!!" fergus yelled out

"what he deserved it" martin said as he shrugged "anyway after the i had to finally explain and show jegar who i was before we meet argon how had been informed just what was going on"

"and how did my fa" fergus shakes his head and growl for almost calling argon his father while martin only smiled "argon react to the news about you braking the rules again and bringing a worgen into he fortress?"

"rater well, ye was yelling so loud that the windows broke and my ears were ringing but it could have been worse" martin said with a smile "anyway after that jegar finally got to talk and explain the deal to argon"

*

"so your clan will allied with me and the people in hellheim in exchange that we will treat worgens with the same rights as hellheimers as well as allowing worgen to settle in both towns and city's in hellheim, in exchange your clan will share their knowledge on armor and weapons smiting and more as well as giving us the location of the dark howl clan that has been a pain in my side for years so that we can eliminate them, is that right?" argon asked as he looked at jegar with a rater blank look, jegar on the other hand stood as straight and respectable as he could, a little behind him stood martin who had changed to his gray greatcoat and was following everything been said and ragnar who was there to see just what was going on

"that is right lord argon" jegar said "i know it will take you people some times to get used to us worgen`s living amount you, but i say we must start somewhere to make hellheim a better world and get a stop this point less war" as jegar finish speaking the hall went quiet for a minute before argon started to laugh

"i could not have a agreed more with what you are saying jegar, and yes it may take my people some time to get used to your kind, but times change and so must we as well as such i agreed to you deal jegar" argon said loud and proud as jegar could only smile after what he had heard and so did martin who thought that now nothing could ruin this moment
only for a guard to burst thought the door and ran to argon "lord argon three worgan`s from the dark howl clan has just left the city" the guard said, argon got up and looked at the guard "what how did they get into the city!" he yelled

"um i was suppose to tell you that there is many places with out crystals made to detect worgens on the wall lord argon, after all how else do you think i manage to get in?" jegar said as argon turned his atensjon to ragnar who looked right back at argon "ragnar why is this a problem?" argon asked cold and slowly making ragnar let out a annoyed sight "argon do you have any idea  how har dit is to find and make those crystals for that task, they don`t just appear on your door steps" rangnar said annoyed as argon shook his head

"right who many people were killed by them" argon asked hoping for a small number

"um only one sir" the guard said causing every one to look at him confused

"just one?" argon said surprised knowing that normal the dark howl`s kills at least around ten to twenty people each

"yes sir a female shop keeper who had her shop close to the wall by the name of sarah" as the guard finished martin ran out the door leaving every one confused untie argon suddenly got a look of worry's on his face

"jegar" he said to get jegar`s attestation who looked at argon with a look of sadness "you don`t have to ask argon" jegar said as he looked back to the door "ye she was the friend martin talked about for awhile ago" he said as he closed his eyes and let his head hang low, as he did argon sat down again and sigh "and just when everything was going so well"
