The Magnaura

[Ibn-Khaldun]

A lot of noise and loud shouts are heard from the hallway. Suddenly the doors open and two Varangian Guards fly through the air and land on the floors of Magnaura. A very tall man enters the Magnaura and shouts..

I am not.. hkk.. a Senator??!! I'll show you what.. hkk.. I am!!

Trying to get his sword he loses the balance and falls on the floor. Quickly four Varangians are upon him and trying to hold the man down. But they are thrown away like they are nothing. The man stand up again and shouts to the guards...

I am Theo-what-ever-the-rest-of-my-name-was Petzeas!!! I am Senator of this country!!

Theo calms down and looks like he is thinking. Then with a quiet voice he asks..

What country is this anyway??

One of the scribes answer..

You are in Constatinople, Byzantium. And this man here is truly a Senator. Theophylaktos Petzeas.

The last words were for the Varangians who after hearing that back down and let Theo to take a seat..

Now.. hkk.. could someone bring me some wine and some woman?
