Sidion wasn't all that pleased with Krivat's performance. "Who gives a rat's ass about some bitch of Mara? Can you see if my bigger brother is with them or not? I want to know what his head tastes like."

"How are you holding up?" a female voice said.

Varg slowly opened his eyes. His hands were tied to a post in a holding pen. Mara sat crouched in front of him. "For someone who just let my ass get beaten, you seem rather worried about me. Haven't gone too soft I hope?"

Mara sighed. "You can throw sarcasms in my face all you want, but face it, you deserved it. I almost died from cold exposure out there were you left me."

"I didn't know. I am sorry, alright? I was going to come back after I found Sidion, but..."

"But you didn't", she filled in. "And by the time you would have found him I would already have been dead if not for some friendly Imperials who took me in."

"And now we are here", he groaned.

She nodded. "And now we are here. For some cracked up reason."

There was a moment of silence between them.

"Yeah, I guess I kind of deserved this", he shrugged. "I am too harsh and too brusque often. But you wouldn't have any idea of what they are going to do with me, are you?"

Mara tried to find the right words. "There will... be a trial. You are guilty of trespassing on their sacred grounds and the sentence for such a crime is normally death. However, since I care about you, Varg, believe it or not, I have persuaded Ulvena to have a little chat with the Ashkhan."

"And? What did he say?"

"As I said, there will be a trial. His son Draven Issimalki will be your opponent in a duel."

"A duel? So I am to kill the Ashkhan's son in order to be free?"

"What?! No! You've got it all wrong! It's not a duel to the death. If you can disarm or somehow put Draven out from his fighting condition then you will be cleared and free to go."

Varg nodded in understanding. "I see. Well, Draven can expect some serious pain in his knee when I have cracked it with a warhammer.""

"No weapons allowed for the one who has been charged."

Varg growled angrily. "WHAT?! Bullshit! That's no fair trial! So how the fuck am I suppose to defend myself?!"

Mara gave him a playful smile. "You disappoint me, Varg. I almost took you for a half blood."
