The day was breezy. Clouds rolled overhead, and even the monks eyed them with some wariness. Two men walked down the steps of The Citadel. They were nearly identical in appearance. Both had the same sharp eagle like nose, both had the same piercing gaze, and both had the same crooked lines around their mouth from way too much smiling. Both had powerful well built arms, and the impressive body to match, and both were excessivly tall with long hair. One might accuse them of being father and son if one were to look at them in passing. The differences though were just as numerous as the similarities. One had the brown robes of a monk, along with a couple rings and few amulets on chains. The other wore only black Leather clothing, and had a dagger tucked in his belt. One had white hair and gray eyes, the other had Red hair, red eyes, and a red glow around him. The monk also seemed peaceful and somewhat friendly, while the red haired one seemed humbled by recent events, namely loosing to his opponents at the citadel that day.
"So I've decided to go home, and investigate my past. I'm taking along a few well armed guards as meat shields. You know, to help muscle my way past Father." Destrudo said.
"A wise idea. You must sail directly west, and when you encounter a mighty thunderstorm, sail directly into it shouting 'Onox sends his regards, we request sanctuary for the night!" Brother Onox said.
"Why?" Destrudo asked.
"Sometimes surprise is the best answer of all." Brother Onox said.
"I guess." Destrudo said.

The advert read.

At The Buccaneer's Den, Destrudo sighed as he looked over the posters of wanted criminals again. He saw infamous names of known pirates, and some few lowlife scum, probably jumped aboard a ship to live free at sea.
Was he ever going to find someone who looked like they weren't going to faint at the very sight of the insect trees? For that matter, was he going to find a ship that didn't look like it would fall apart the very moment he stepped aboard? He used to be very picky, but not anymore, but he didn't want any old thug or wanna be pirate who found an old shiv or nailed two boards together either.
He stood and faced the scraggly bum before him, some drunk who could barely stand up to a menacing stare, what good was he going to be against Father's mind games?
"I'm telling you, I'm your man!" the bum repeated.
"Your weak, your pitiful. You have no meat on your bones, and you can barely stand. You are not my man. You are nothing. You are a bum, leave my presence." Destrudo snarled.
The bum clsoed his fist, but Destrudo caught the action in time, kneed the bum in his groin, and then punched him so hard he fell over backwards after stumbling out of the door.
"I swear, if I get ONE MORE BUM, I'm going to burn this hellhole of a city to ashes." Destrudo growled.
