A Big Entrance (Open)

[Joseph Graves]

12th Winter, 511AV

Talal wandered along the jetty, eyeing the items that merchants had for sale. Several spotted Talal's jewel-encrusted axe bound to his waist and ran up, asking how much money he wanted it for but he just waved them off. One actually attempted to pry the axe away from Talal, but he just turned around shoved him away and watched as he toppled off the jetty and into the sea. A few people rushed over and watched the man thrash about in the water, helpless. Finally, one passer-by dived in and pulled him up to shore.

For the rest of the morning, nobody bothered him. One reason was because of the incident on the jetty and because his pod, the Waveraiders, were known throughout the East Syliran coast for their raids on merchant ships.

As the day entered late-afternoon, the sky became a greyish colour. The sun still shone onto Zeltiva, but it was lower. Talal watched as more ships docked to avoid the storm that was forcasted for tonight. Then, as the last few ships came into the port, one barged into his ship. The rage built up inside him as he took out his axe and headed over, seething with anger as he yelled, "Who do you think you are?! Hitting my ship like that?!"

As Siarak was walking around, trying to get his bearings of the area. As well to asking a couple of bystanders about were the nearest inns are located and what they are like for he can get some rest be he heads to the university. While he was getting directions to an inn he heard a, loud splash behind him turning around to see where it was coming from he spotted a men splashing around in the sea clearly not a swimmer. His eyes turning golden Siarak gave a little chuck amused by the men antics, by then notice the walking away with his back towards him. What really got Siarak attention was his jewel encrusted axe that was strap to his waist. Sighing in bewilderment on what would possess someone to openly carry such an obviously such expensive that just asking for trouble such fool he thought. Butting that out of his mind for now he spend most of the day going to the inns he was told about, but sadly most of the ones he went to was full the owners said and the ones that wasn’t he was scared to sleep in he may get fleas. As it was late in the day Siarak went to the docks to see what he can find when he got there he notice there was the guy again waving his axe at one the ships captions and yelling at him in what appears to be fratava. A little tired and have headache with the yelling only making it worse Siarak decided to put an end to all this foolishness, saunter were the guy he notice it was a kid who was most likely in his mid to late teens. “Hey kid I don’t know about you but I don’t think it is wise to go around and swing you axe at random people” he said coolly “You don’t want to hurt no one do you?”

As Talal searched for the captain of the ship, he also took the time to do a bit of looting. Sadly, he found nothing, just a bunch of old, and smelly, cloth rags. As he turned around to leave, another boy, not much older than Talal, about 17, maybe 18, came sprinting around the corner and barged into Talal, knocking him over. He was followed by a man that was very old, about 35. The captain and his son, Talal realised. He got his bearings together and went in pursuit. Talal easily caught up with the father and tackled him to the floor, but his son got away, no doubt to warn the authoritites. Talal began punching the man with all his might. Finally, he heard the satisfying snap of his nose. He put the axe to this man's throat and said, "Give me one reason not to kill you." The answer came from behind him.
"Hey kid I don’t know about you but I don’t think it is wise to go around and swing you axe at random people," he said "You don’t want to hurt no one do you?”
Talal looked at the man with the utmost disgust. "You can't order me about! Do you know who I am?!"

[Siarak]

Upon hearing his reply and not understanding what he was saying Siarak raise an eyebrow at this ill temper fool and his childish antics, walking closer to him but made sure to stay out of reach of his axe. “You now if you going to insult someone or call them out it would be smart to say it in the common tongue it’s a very high chance that they may don’t you think” he said drily “But I digress what do you think you are doing a ship caption for no reason” eyes turning gray of determination he glance at the men this guy was on top of and whose throat his axe was against “I hear the guards in this city don’t take murder likely and sometimes skip trial and go straight to execution”
