   For years, I've been trying to fit in and find a comfortable place in the world but there is always a sadistic would-be villain lurking behind the corner waiting for the perfect opportunity to seize power. I am the only one brave enough and strong enough to deal with these menaces so I always find myself putting my life on hold so I can save innocents when everyone seems powerless. I grew up training among monks who were outcasts from the great city Highbourne, where I became adept at the use of both dark and light magic. After reaching adulthood, I began traveling the world and searching for ways to increase my abilities. Along with my friend and fellow monk Shayl, I quickly became a legend among the people who now know me as Darkerusaelp the Dragon Slayer.

   After a long and tiresome battle with Geejard the Dark Sorcerer, I was bruised, broken and lying on the ground without enough energy to stand on my feet. As the sun began to set behind the giant trees of the Badland forest, a tall man with glistening silver hair approached me and with him was my friend Shayl... she found someone who can help us. Barely conscious and unable to move, I lay helpless as the silver haired stranger picks me up and carries me to his beautiful castle sitting on top of the lake behind the forest. I awoke the next morning and found Shayl sitting on the bed next to me, "Darkerusaelp, I found help but by the time we arrived, you already defeated the sorcerer. Now we are in the home of the man who saved you, his name is Sirius."

   Weeks pass and I feel like I'm at peace in this castle that's starting to seem like home, I think I could stay here forever. Sirius, the owner is the kindest person I know, he gives Shayl and myself everything we could want and has even offered us unlimited usage of his training rooms. Sirius has been busy all day today and Shayl and I haven't seen much of him so during tonight's nightly sparring match, we don't make alot of noise until Shayl accidentally kicks a hole into the wall. The wall is thin and looks like some sort of hidden doorway, I look through the hole and see a hallway with torches attached to the wall.

   The flaming torches produce a bright light that illuminate the hallway and after we pass the forth torch, we come to a stairwell that leads down to a thick metal door. I use my black-magic enhanced Axe to chop away the lock, open the large door and we see a gruesome bloody mess. Sirius is covered in blood and standing over the dead body of a girl lying on a table, her flesh is torn and bite marks from a large animal cover her body. Shayl shouts, "Sirius...what kind of monster are you?", blood drips from his lips as he raises his head and looks at us. "The two of you have stumbled upon my little secret, now I have no choice but to eat you as well!"

   Shayl and I watch in horror as his eyes turn yellow, his ears become pointed, his jaw increases in length and fur begins sprouting from his body. "Shayl get out of here and I will take care of this beast", I shove my friend out the door and leap toward Sirius before he can finish his transformation. My Axe spews out translucent black mist as I hack away at the half-man half-animal, this Axe seems to have a mind of its own and it craves the death of this beast. "Arrrwwwwoooooo", Sirius lets out a primal howl and throws me backward into a pile of dead victims...his transformation is complete. I try to recover from the attack but he is too quick and is already in front of my face, drooling and breathing heavy like a rabid dog ready to taste flesh.

   Sirius pounces, trying to bite my head but I duck, grab my Axe and chop off his right ear...his howl of agony echoes throughout the castle. I run behind him and throw my Axe, it lodges in the middle of his back just beyond his reach, blood pours from the wound like a waterfall, changing the color of his fur from silver to red. The speed of Sirius is almost unbelievable as he turns around and sinks his teeth into my left leg but I ignore the pain. There are only a few known ways to kill a werewolf and from this day forth, my mystical Axe will be listed among them. With his teeth still deep in my leg, I grab the Axe from his back and sever his head from his body in one powerful swing. I step over the dead werewolf and leave the castle with Shayl, my life will never be peaceful, not as long there is evil in the world.

That line of dialogue has brought a smile to my face once again. I really dig this story thanks again Hilton.
