Lucian did not bat an eye at being told all of this, “If I am to face Grimidal, then I am to face Grimidal. Everything dies in the end, and if this is some long lived giant, then I will help it return to the earth.”
Lucian expected some reaction, but the subtle surprise that was crossing the visage of the Baron of this castle was not one of them, “You truly think that you can kill such a being?”
“If the Gods are willing I may be able to do so.” Lucian answered him firmly, his voice carrying his firmness in faith for the cause that he is about to set himself upon.
There was some distraught in the eyes of the Baron as he started to think on the situation. His eyes shifting from one side to the other as he simply began to wonder what it was pushing Lucian so far. Yet, “I cannot stop a man who has such a death wish, especially if it might be our only hopes in surviving this conflict. I hereby declare your agreement to defend my fortress fulfilled.”
“Thank you.” Lucian said as he gave a bow to the man, “Let us hope that I am successful.”
“I want to do more than that.” Answered the Baron as he pointed to one of the untouched buildings that were within the fortress he held, “That is the place where I keep my mighty steeds. I remember hearing from a Bards that your Bretonni are Horsepeople, yet you do not have a mighty steed. Take one of mine.”
The Knight did not really have much to lose, “Sure, I’ll take a look at what horses you have. I thank you for this chance.”
“Aye, if you kill the mighty Grimidal, then I sing your name to the King of Albion itself!” Declared the man as he slammed Lucian’s back with a smile, “May your days have clear skies.”
