Reunion

The barbarian nodded to Lith's question.

"Your senses are sharper than ever. It seems that since our last encounter we both have changed greatly. Do not call me Protector though. I go by the name of Ryman now. Humans are still diffident of newcomers. If they discover my name is an alias, it could bring out the worst in them.

You should know it better than anyone else."

"Then do not call me 'Scourge'." Lith replied freeing his wrist from Ryman's grasp.

"My name is Lith." The piece of news left Ryman quite baffled.

"I thought it was an endearing term, since few calls you like that. You have many names, like Scourge, young spirit, little b*stard and others I will not repeat because they make me want to bite heads off."

"Ungrateful b*stards!" Lith yelled making most of those present run away.
