Dögun
We'll ride in the gathering storm
Dögun could not help but think of the creature that Soljor mentioned, it brought back memories of the creatures that the elders would speak of back in his homeland. This description that Soljor provided, gave him shivers up and down his spine. It reminded him of the stories that the elders told, warning of creature who looked somewhat like the one he described. "Soljor, the more that I think about this predator, or creature. It reminds me of the stories that my elders back in my homeland used to speak of. A creature so fearsome, it's claws long, its teeth razor sharp. Even some said the eyes were a bloody shade of red, from killing so many souls. I know that these are legends, but I believe that legends have some kind of truth to them." He pauses, perhaps he had spoke to much, maybe sounding like a lunatic.
He clears his throat, perhaps he was worrying that such a creature could follow him from his home. Or maybe there were no ties between any of this and it was just an oversized wolf. As Soljor speaks, Dögun leaves the thoughts of this creature behind as he mentions an formal alliance. He begins to nod his head, after the past few weeks, it was good to know that Soljor wanted an alliance with him. He had lost a few mares to a steal and a challenge, it would be nice to have a friend that he could count on. "I am happy to be here in the Inlet, it reminds me of my homeland." He pauses as Soljor continues. "I would of course accept an alliance with you." A smile begins to spread across his dark lips.
As Soljor continues, he mentions that he wants to give him one of his daughters..."I would be honored. Such an alliance would create a strong bond between the Bay and the Inlet. In such times such a bond would insure the success of our territories." He pauses, knowing that such a decision to give him one of his daughters was a difficult one. "Soljor, I would take care of your daughter, and make sure that she was happy and safe the rest of her life. She would also be close to the Bay and you would be able to see her when ever you wanted." He could sense that he was making a wise decision in making this alliance.
