Me and Fleur

We exited the tunnel half an hour after leaving the city. Looking around I noticed that the whole of the landscape was flat except for small pillars of stone that stuck out of the ground at random intervals. Shrugging I pulled my pack further onto my shoulder. I looked at the group and smiled at them all even Liza as I don't hold a grudge. Starting to walk down road I pulled out my staff and assembled it, placing the butt on the ground, I started the age old activity of traveling. We came over a hill and saw a pony caravan that was being attacked by some Diamond Dog Bandits. Grinding my teeth I ran forward towards the four huge Diamond Dogs pulling out my dagger as I did so. Running past the closest Diamond Dog I went low and cut out his back leg muscles. The wounded Diamond Dog gave out a pain filled howl alerting the others that I was coming. The quickest one to turn around was rewarded with my dagger ripping out his throat. The third Diamond Dog saw me out of the corner of his eye and swung his sword at me in a horizontal slash. I brought my dagger out and blocked his swing with my smaller blade shooking the Diamond Dog into taking a step back, he didn’t stand a chance. As he was moving backwards I lunged forward, I saw the Diamond Dog that I was lunging at smile. Feeling a sharp pain spear through my lower back and out of my stomach, I looked down to find the fourth Diamond Dog’s sword sticking out of my stomach. I gritted my teeth against the pain and ran forward again, the Diamond Dog’s eyes got really big and he stabbed at me with his sword. Doing the stupid thing I grabbed his sword and pulled him closer to me, stabbing him in the eye, killing him when my dagger went through his eye and into his brain. Turning to the last Diamond Dog whose sword was still stuck inside me, I started walking towards her slowly. She took a few steps back and fell over a bit of the wagon that they destroyed. Finally arriving in front of her I slowly leaned forward and picked her up by the throat.

“Please don’t kill me I have children to look after.” She said begging for her life. Turning my head to look over the ponies that there group of bandits had killed, I noticed that not even the children were spared. While looking at the death that had been done here I felt a pain in my head. Turning to her I looked at her with unhappy eyes. With my other hand I reached up and pulled out the dagger that had been embedded in the side of my head. The Diamond Dog Bandit that I was still holding looked at me with fear.

“What the fuck are you!” She yelled while trying to pull my fingers away from her neck. Tightening my hold on her neck she looked at me one final time.

“I am your death.” I said with a voice that was full of anger. Twisting my wrist I swiftly broke her neck killing her almost instantly. Dropping her on the ground, I let a single tear fall down my face. Gritting my teeth I reached back with my non-cut-up hand and pulled the blade from my body letting the shiny gold ichor flow from my body onto the ground. Hearing running, I turned around and looked over the group of creatures that I would over time call my friend running towards me with worried looks. Ignoring their cries of worry I started walking around the ponies and Diamond Dogs that had died today, closing their eyes I said a silent prayer that would help them on the road to the afterlife. Turning once again I looked over the.....You know what from now on I am going to refer to them as people, Once again I looked over the group of people that I have grouped up with for reasons that I am still not sure of.

“Blitz keep them safe while I regenerate.” I said with a barely audible whisper. Falling to the ground I felt my heart steadily getting weaker as my world slowly faded to black.

Slowly coming back to the land of the living I heard hushed talking and the sound of a campfire slowly going. Sitting up I looked around seeing a few yards away was the people of my group. Standing up I walked over to them and sat down, looking around I saw shocked faces on everyone but Blitz. Shaking my head I took a tentative sniff and was happy to smell some food as coming back from the dead makes a god hungry.

“So what's for dinner?” I asked with a small smirk on my face. Liza looked at me before shaking her head and pulling out bowl of soup from behind her, holding it out for me she looked at me with a grim expression. Looking at her expression first then taking the food off her paws I sat down with a thump on the dirt. Eating the soup which was very tasty I might add, I looked around the group as they all got to know each other. We had Blitz the disgruntled Game Lord, Liza the angry cook, Fleur the X-model, and Sharp the wannabe traveler.

“If this group is going to get any bigger we are going to need a name.” I said stroking my non-existent beard. Snapping my fingers I looked at each of my group mates and let a small smile pull its way onto my face.

“The Rowdy Bunch of Misfits.” I said with barely contained snickers. Looking over the group my idea received mixed reactions. The group minus Blitz started arguing about the name that I had chosen. Looking over to Blitz I noticed that he was looking down with a look of concentration. He looked up from his thoughtful musings and started talking.

“As much as I hate being called a misfit, the name kind of fits.” Blitz said with a sigh that spoke of being tired of dealing with someone. He turned to me with a glare that would have shattered ice.

“Don’t let the fact that I am agreeing with you get over your head. I still hate the fact that you're on my world and I still will kill you if you so much as step a toe out of line.” Blitz nearly growled out with enough hostility to kill a Ursa Minor. He was trying so hard to give me a death glare that I could only chuckle which made him all the madder. He turned over and went to sleep with an angry groan. Turning to the other members of the group I looked them over as they were snickering as well.

“Well as much as I like seeing Blitz be laughed at, we need to get to bed so to sleep with all of you.” I said with finality that said NO SAS MISSY. Quietly laughing to myself as the rest of the group ground and went to sleep.
