Song of a Varangian (1)

Upon hearing the deal, Fisnik instantly stopped whining and moved on towards his journey back towards Thessaloniki. Now Antonius can finally relax a bit on the couch trying to take a nap, but soon another two men came paying him a visit, that is Mikhail and his younger brother Nikolas. 

They came to appeal to Antonius saying that the younger brother, Nikolas, wants to go back to their home town to visit their parents whom they have not seen for an entire year. And considering the fact that the situation out there is still not safe enough for a junior to travel alone, Mikhail requested on behalf of his brother to join the next batch of troopers marching towards the borders, use them as an escort travelling on the same path and reaching home safely.
