"I am Zarya Kozlova" Barbossa said.
"How?" Sturmhond asked.
"Think that for yourself pirate." Barbossa said smirk evident in his face.
"Privateer." Sturmhond corrected.
"Yeh! privateer. Calling you pirate is an insults for pirates. "
"And what made you think I won't slip out your secret? " Sturmhond asked ignoring his remark.
"Oh! you'll keep it safe Nikolai Lantsov." Barbossa said as a matter of fact.
Hearing his true name colour left Sturmhond's face but he composed himself the very next moment and offered a deal "A secret for a secret. I won't tell your's and you won't tell mine. Do we have a deal?"
"That's better." Barbossa said and took his leave.
3 Months later.
"I came to you with an offer." Sturmhond said after losing again.
"What now?" Barbossa asked uninterestedly.
"I got an offer from General Kirigan-" but was cut of by Barbossa who asked "As Nikolai or Sturmhond?"
"As Sturmhond. He want me to track Rusalye." he said.
"The mythical ice dragon, do it even exist? You caught my attention now." Barbossa chirped.
"Yes, rumors are the sun summoner already wears the antlers of The Stag." Sturmhond said.
"What do you want from me? And bu the way the sun summoner had already abandon her country and fled." Barbossa asked.
"Everybody knows you are an extraordinary tracker, so I thought maybe we could use your help and I want to know even in the sea how do you keep up with all the news?" Sturmhond asked bewilded.
"I just do, and let's say I agreed to help you, want is in for me here?" Barbossa asked.
"Anything you want." Sturmhond said.
"I want your word on that and as Sturmhond as well as Nikolai." Barbossa said and added "but I'll go as Zarya Kozlova, Barbossa have many enemy that far north." Barbossa said.
"That's all on you but my identity stays a secret." Sturmhond said.
"Please." Barbossa remarked and added "also I'll travel in your ship as Barbossa can't just disappear some member of my crew knows my secret and will manage in my absence."
"If you travel in my ship remember I am the captain and you will come under me as my crew." Sturmhond said with remarkable excitment evident in his voice.
"As you wish moi tsarevich." Barbossa said teasingly.
"Shut up!" Sturmhond said offendedly.
"Can't help Bastard of the Barrel and now get out I need to sleep!" Barbossa added while smirking.
