The Mercenary

(Ominous Voice)"Logan, we meet once more".

"I hope you're ready for what's about to happen".

(Logan)"Why are you here? Leave me alone! 

(Ominous Voice)"Logan, draw your sword, and let's dance, because I'm not letting you beat me this time".

(Logan)"This isn't real, you couldn't kill me if you tried".

(Ominous Voice)"Maybe so, but it doesn't mean, I can't kill your determination, or your sanity".

(Logan)"Fine, let's get this over with".

(Ominous Voice)"Good"

(Logan charged in for a swing, missing the swing, he rolled, then baited an attack, and bashed the Figure with his pommel)

(Ominous Voice)"Hah, what a pathetic swing".

(They battled in Logan's head for hours it seemed)

(Logan)"What are you?!"

(Ominous Voice)"Take a guess"

(Logan)"Wulfr? Kiros?

(Fangs Of Fate)"No, I'm not even close in power compared to them, I'm the Fangs of Fate, I control Fate itself. Aside from you of course".

(Logan)"What? what does this mean?

(Fangs Of Fate)"You have the blood of kings, you are destined to destroy me, and take on all evil of this world, your bloodline, is arrogant, controlling, disregarding of people, and Foolish. Aside from you, you are the most honorable of your entire bloodline. you have saved people from certain death, while your pig of a father sat on his lazy arse and ate food!

(Logan)"Ill kill you!"

(Fangs Of Fate)"No you won't, at least not today" 

(SNAP!)

(Logan)"Ahhh!" (I scream, waking up from a nightmare that felt all too real) (Healer)"Logan! are you alright? calm down, I'm here. What happened?" (Logan)"Nightmares, I hate them". (Healer)"Ah, nightmares, the most terrifying thing in the peaceful night, but anyway Logan, you are healed". (Logan)"Thank you, I won't forget it". (Healer)"Just remember Logan, the gods are on your side". (Logan)"Well, I won't forget it".

(Logan)"Well, I guess I should go tell Artavius I killed the Dire Wolf, he would want to know revenge has been granted for his son".

(A few hours pass as Logan makes his way back to Artavius)

(Knock) (Knock)

(I smell freshly cooked steak as the door opens, it's a lovely smell, as I haven't tasted steak in a year or more)

(Artavius)"Logan! you're back, does this mean you killed that bastard?" (Logan)"Yup, and here's its head". (Artavius)"Good, I'm glad you killed that bastard, now here, 500 gold, for your service, and take some of this steak, I saw your nose twitching when the smell hit you". (Logan)"Thank you, I haven't had steak in years, and oh thanks for the gold". (Artavius)"Come back and see us sometime, I'm sure my daughter would be happy to see you". (Logan)"I'm sure I will, tell her I said she can't lose that doll anymore, I might not be around all the time to get it". (Artavius)"I will, godspeed Logan".

(I head back to the evergreen inn to tell Dais the good news)

(Towns Folk)"Hey Logan! good to see you again". (Logan)"Hey!"

(Logan)"Alright, I need to give this Wolf's head to Dais, then I can dig into this steak". 

(Dais)"Alright, here you go, one Cherry-spiced mead"

(Patron)"Thanks!"

(Logan)"Hey Dais!"

(Dais)"Logan! good to see you, did you find the Dire Wolf?

(Logan)"I did, and I brought you its head! (I said excited)

(Dais)"Hah! you son of a bitch, you actually killed this thing? (He said in amazement) wow, it looks so terrifying, but looks like it wasn't much trouble for you, there isn't a scratch on you!".

(Logan)"Yeahh.. It barely even touched me". (I said nervously)

(Dais)"Well, let me mount this thing on the wall, go enjoy that steak I see you have".

(Logan)"Will do Dais, will do".

(I sit down at one of the tables, preparing to eat)

(I take my first bite, and immediately feel bliss, I savor the bite, and take another) (Dais)"Ah, look at that Logan, A Dire Wolf's head, on my wall! I might be the first person to ever do this!". (He said proudly) (Logan)"Hah, yeah you just might, I'm glad you're happy Dais". (Dais)"Yeah, I'm happy, but what about you? what was your reward?". (Logan)"A hefty 1500 in coin, almost enough to buy myself a apartment!". (I said laughing) (Dais)"Hah, yeah, but that is a lot of coin, you could buy yourself a new sword, as that one already seems worn and broken". (Dais)"Yes, I should spend at least half on a brand-new sword, but the other half, I should just use for something else". (As the chatter gets louder within the tavern, I notice a wolf, gray fur, blue eyes, and around my height, and a noticeable scar on his cheek) (Logan)"Excuse me Dais, I gotta check something out". (I rush up to the wolf, and tap him on his shoulder) (Logan)"Hey, I need to talk to you" (Wolf)"What? who are you? bounty hunter?"(He said Cautiously) (Logan)"No, I have a question, did you take a job about a bear around here?" (Wolf)"Yeah, why?" (Logan)"You have a bounty on your head in Alterius, and I got locked up because I look almost exactly like you, I was almost sent to the mines, but wasn't because I don't have that scar right there". (Wolf)"Get away from me!" (Logan)"Shit, don't run.... Fuck".

(Dais)"Didn't go as well as you hoped huh? seemed like you were trying to get yourself a date". (he said jokingly) (Logan)"No, why would I want to bang myself? or pretty much myself". (I said annoyed) (Dais)"Just saying" (Logan)"No, he was the wolf who killed that bear, and I was locked up in jail because he looks exactly like me, I was going to try to help him and see if I can get the bounty off him, because I'm not looking forward to getting locked up again because of a mistake". (Dais)"You have a point but why help him? he's a criminal". (Logan)"Because he just took a illegal contract, and he killed the bear, that bear could have killed someone, its good enough for me".
