How the hell did you get this thing?

Who are you?

And don't give me any she-tank

about joining the Leode of virgins.

Elenn, run! Get out of here!

Aedin, come on! Run! Run!

What in hell's name is that thing?

Black magic?

Who's after you?

Come on!

You got any magic for this?

Oh shi...

I've got you.

What the hell have you drug me into?

Take off your wet clothes.

How'd you find this place?

I have a network of caches along

all the major trade routes.

- You're a smuggler.

- Yep.

And you're a liar.

What else is

in that little hole of yours?

You fought in the war

with King Aldred,

was he as beautiful as they say?

I don't know.

I spent most of my time

buried in a trench,

trying to keep my feet dry

and my head out of dragon fire.

What did you do after the war?

After the invasion...

like most I kept fighting

long past sense.

When I went home

there was nothing left.

So, I fight other men's battles now,

and pick up things

on my travels when I can.

It's been a life of little meaning.

Well I think it sounds romantic,

always on the run,

living by your swords and your wits.

You're full of wine and a warm fire.

Come the morning you'll remember

the misery and loneliness.

Get some rest.

We've an early start

It's going to get more dangerous

from here.

We're moving into dragon territory.

We'll have to stay to the trees.

We're in its territory now, keep still.

We'll be safe for now.

What else are you keeping from me?

This better be the best bloody

farmland in Deira.

Do you think it's gone?

Maybe so, maybe no.

We never could figure

the damn thing out.

Neither could the Vitalions

for that matter.

Only a Paladin can kill a dragon...

Well, we didn't have one handy

at the time.

Last night... late last night. Did we...

did I say anything... you know.

I always say too much

when I'm drunk.

No. Nothing I can think of.

Did we do anything...

Nope. Nothing.

You'll live to die a virgin yet.

- Help!

- Keep yellin', that'll fix it.

Clooney, it's been so long.

Son of a whore!

That's for Dunotten.

Bastard tried to kill me.

Stuck a sword right through my side.

You left out the part

where you were standing on my head,

in three feet of water.

Aye. I did.

He was fighting for the enemy.

- The Vitalion?

- No. The Daegens.

May they rot in hell.

They did, right after you set fire

to their keep.

Aye. They were bra times.

I missed ya. Come and sit.

My wives shall entertain you.

With what little we have.

Wives?

If you want to see that horn again,

don't mention the coronation.

How about becoming more agreeable

before you get us both disemboweled.

From where I was sitting it looked like

you were being agreeable
