183

Gods these men are giants. Gregor thought as the tattooed man approached the two guards. Initially all three men had appeared to be the same height but as the man with the tattoos walked closer to the two guards, the optical illusion was broken and Gregor saw that the man with the tattoos barely came up to the guards shoulders.

The two guards held giant axes with large silver curved blades and topped with a long silver spear point. Gregor eyed the axes and assumed that their function was mostly ceremonial as they would be almost impossible to wield in any confrontation. The two guards turned on their heels and faced each other for a moment before slowly taking three steps backwards and then pausing with their right heel lifted off of the floor.

With a look over his shoulder the man with the tattoos walked up toward the double doors and pushed his way inside. Gregor walked behind him, glancing at the guards on his left who towered over him and did not meet his eyes.
