Escape From The Castle

1

It had been a very long day...

The people of the kingdom were starting to return home to their farms, shops, or anything else to close down until the morning...

But a certain bar still held a man, a man drinking quite profusely...

"Gim'e another..."

"Sir...your far to drunk..."

"I sai....Gim'e Ano'her!"

The bartender sighed pouring another glass...he knew this guy had a rough life...he was a bounty hunter...but lately none have been posted here in the Kingdom... Just as the sun was setting hitting off glass windows and various shinny items A women covered her side view opening the bar's door. The bell rang as she opened it. It slammed shut as the sound of boots thudded on the floor with each step. Her pulled something out of her side sack dropping in on the counter and taking a seat hiding something covered in gold a jems into her cloak's inside pocket.

" Honey Whiskey, please.¨

Her sketltal like tail whipped around with a small flame at the end of it sending off signs of not to be messed with. The Bartender gave her glass as she look at the man beside her drunk

"Long day eh? Do not let it beat you up.. we all have our days.."

"Your not...meh Doll..."

He let out a quiet drunken burp, growling under his hood...even the tender shook his head in warning to the customer before passing her drink...

"He lost his job essentially...unable to work and keep himself busy or live where he used to...there are so few of his kind left..."

"Kind? Heh... Poor kid.."

She handed the man a pistol and a large sack of gold coins. Her eyes flickered between a dark red and a light purple as she studied the man with a dark gaze

" Choose one and you will have a great outcome. Queen's treat sweetheart."

He sat up, looking toward the bottle shelf...he was slowly becoming sober...

"A Pistol...And Coin....why should I even choose? And the Queen? She cares nothing of me...I am but an outlaw...now take your "treats" and leave me to drink myself to death..."

An energy was resonating from him...the Princess could tell...he was something else...She looked at him surprised by his response and turned towards him taking her pistol placing it back into her belt and pushed the coin toward him.

" I have a Job offering sweetie. I need a partner to help me with helping other kingdoms from being filled with outlaws. Or you can just drink your 'worthless' life away. Its up to you.."

She smirked down at him as she lifted his head by grabbing his chin

" Hellhound. I will be outside waiting for your choice. Work with me or just die. "

She jerked her hand away from his walking out sounding like she just came in slamming the door shut before leaning against the wood post.How did she know what he was? He was confused, his eyes glowing gently while looking at the bar tender...

"Kindred..."

"Do it Abigor...you need this...the thing inside you needs this...heh..."

"Yeah...Take care my friend...thanks for the hospitality...but...how did she know who I was?"

"She's one of the Princesses...expect odd things...she could probably detect your presence..."

He nodded and stood up, still a bit dizzy...
