• Fenrir awoke from the dream covered in a cold sweat. He got up from the bed and quickly dressed in his armor and a pair of black leggings. He walked out of his room and went downstairs to say good morning to Kida and her daughter. Kida cheerfully greeted him and asked if he was hungry. He chuckled to himself as he said, “I’m as hungry as a wolf.” She quickly brought him a plate of food that consisted of eggs, ham, and pancakes slathered in syrup. Fenrir ravenously devoured the food and sat there letting it digest. As the day wound on Fenrir talked to Kida and found out the name of the tavern was the Broken Sword. About the time she said this the door opened and a fairly tall hooded figure walked in. He walked up to Fenrir and asked, “Are you Fenrir Sakashon?” He replied calmly “Who wants to know?” The man removed his hood and said in his deep voice, “By order of the empress Shelok you are coming with me!” Fenrir sighed and stood up and said to him while slowly reaching for the dagger behind his back, “So…. she finally found me. If she wants my head she’ll have to TAKE IT!!!!” He tackled the man to the ground and put the blade to his throat. The man pushed him off quickly, and produced a sword seemingly out of thin air he swung wildly at Fenrir. Fenrir dodged the first few swings, but as he moved to dodge another the man swung his sword toward Fenrir. He felt the sword pierce his left side and puncture his lung, Fenrir fell to the ground clutching his side and coughing up blood. As the man raised the sword to finish him, he looked down in surprise as a broken broadsword sprouted from his chest. The man fell to the ground mortally wounded. Fenrir immediately recognized the sword, it was his brother’s and he was surprised to see Kida was in possession of it. As he slowly slipped into unconsciousness he asked her, “How did you get my brother’s sword?” She timidly replied, “Your brother, Ryvius, came her ten years ago and gave his sword to me before he died.”
