Event: The Steiners witness

EVENT The Steiners witness the use of an Energy Weapon by Eric Olafson and Hogun.

Just then a flier came from the general direction of town. It was a Volvo just like the one we had, but this one was not black like ours but green and yellow and it bore the symbol of a fist holding a sword. Uncle Hogun sighed.”The Steiner clan, another clan who hates the Olafsons thanks in no small part to my dear brother.”

A clan chief climbed out the flier after it had swooped down and landed. Hogun reached for the blaster and switched the safety on.

Two boys of my age stuck their heads out the open door but did not come out. The clan chief had his fur coat died dark green and wore dark green leather. He openly carried a broad sword. His hair was dark but had silver streaks as was his beard, even though he was smaller than Hogun (so far everyone I knew was) but still a muscled and impressive appearance. He had a disapproving smirk on his face and sneered.” I thought I did see Energy weapon flashes as I flew over this spot a few moments ago.”

Hogun shrugged.”So, what is it to me you have seen or not seen?”

The man’s smile was cold but it grew wider. “The use of these is prohibited on Nilfeheim by the Ancient Book. The Elders will be very eager to hear about it!”

Hogun shrugged again.”So what keeps you from reporting it? By the way you are trespassing!”

“This beach is not associated with the Olafsons.”

“I did not say that!”

The other snickered.” You are an Olafson, a second born to a clan of have-nots, trying to gain influence by throwing around Ragnarsson wealth. I had to see who is breaking the traditions and I must say it surprises me not to see you. The gods gave you much size and muscle but neither brain nor skill. Only a coward would train with such an illegal weapon.”

Hogun’s hands became fists. “You are insulting me on my land. If a challenge you want you have it! I shall not stand insults from you or anyone and I accept your challenge!”

“You are a second born. You cannot challenge me and you are far from that Inn and your aprons you call your land. You hide behind an Off-world weapon I do not recognize your challenge, but I be there when the Elders rule your final fate”
