RE: Royal Adventures!
Episode 2: Peaceful Murder
Whilst shining with pride from my first killing, I went in search of a companion with which to share my bed home. I travelled far and wide in searching, from desert, to mountains, to caves, to villages and plains. Not one woman struck my eye as she did. I thought, "Maybe I need to age a bit..."
That night, whilst in the Fairy's Spring, I saw a willing victim: a young man about sixteen, carrying what seemed to be a new projectile weapon, about 8 feet long and with a blade, upon his back. I approached him, and asked his business, and the origin and nature of his weapon. He stated his name was Ulysses of Freud, who was travelling to find a worthy foe for battle.
"My weapon is of my own design," stated Ulysses, "part gun, part sabre. I call it the Equalizer."
At this, I was sure he was the foe for me, so I stated that I wished to fight him. He accepted.
Five minutes later, the battle ensued. He slashed left and right with that monstrosity, until he finally pointed the weapon at me and pulled a lever upon the end. An explosion burst from the blade, launching bolts of fire towards me. I took cover and, finally, the explosions stopped. He rushed at me again, upon which pont he fired at my chest. It was pain of which I had only imagined Dragons inflicting. I stood up, unsteady, and flared my breath for one final attempt at an attack. I began to focus on my blood, and as it began to boil, I transformed into a black, scaly human. My transformation would not pass this, so I finally fired a cone of lightning at the man's blade, electrocuting him, and Felling him at last. I claimed his heart and his blade, as trophies of his defeat.
That next day I had grown to about 16 years of age. I search ever more for a mate with which to live...
