~ The Deep Cold, 1634 ~
Twas an eerie evening in Sutica, when that fateful trio showed up in town... Two merchants and a mercenary they were: a relatively normal sight many would say, and yet they had a bizarre feeling to them, with both merchants speaking in strange tongue and accent, and the mercenary: although better at common, still sounded rather odd.
An argument ensued between the two factions: Trio against Suticans, an insult slung at the elves, a retort was sent back... This string of wit and language continued for many an hour, until their blood-lust could no longer be restrained. The Great and Powerful Falk Geldmeister struck out at a man known as Whitlock, a fist full of brass and gems flung into his right eye. Alas! Combat ensued: The seemingly powerless merchant, Sulayik, sprinted forward dagger in hand towards an armoured man known as Angelo, but as it was, the warrior was far too experienced and defended against the blow, with help from his gorget. From the back! A woman with her spear, although Sulayik deftly dodged: another attack, but Sulayik had already dived out the way. Angelo faced his once more... A scream of pain from Sulayik! Another man by the name of Maenir had stabbed him through the leg, an exclamation of joy flew from his lips, sharply ended as Maenir was flung towards Angelo by the wrist. From the sky, two crows shelled towards Sulayik, alas the assault was shortly ended from by screams in the ears of all combatants "STOP!!"
Silence drifted over the brawl, neither group moving, looking from side to side... Falk and Sulayik paired up, backing up near the gates, whilst the Mercernary: Garsen remained where he was.
3... 2... 1...
Within a few seconds, Falk and Sulayik twisted to face the gate, sprinting off into the distance: Angelo followed suit, deftly knocking Sulayik into the waters below the bridge, whilst Falk had easily made far too much distance! Garsen continued to fight off his opponents alone, whereas Sulayik began to swim towards the opposite shore, chased by Angelo who had now abandoned much of his armour.
Time passed... Sulayik and Garsen had been taken down, with Falk being abandoned in chase... A victory for the Suticans! Or... they thought.
In the horizon, the great and powerful Falk charged back down the bridge, deftly fighting back against the Suticans for his fallen brethren!
One by one, the Suticans fell, none could stand against his valiant assault! Soon, all his enemies laid dead at his feet, a great victory for Falk Geldmeister!
