Arold Scharrepferd

I was running across the castle, exploring each room, seeking the littlest clue of the exact position where the damsel in distress was held prisoner. The villagers told me that this place was full of danger, traps and even a dangerous dragon! Beating a dragon is quiet hard, but I had the perfect plan; Before entering the dongeon, I made a disguise with the remains of some creatures, probably burnt by the actual guardian. Like that, the sweet scent, emanating from the corpse, would assure me a good distraction, just enough time to deal a brutal hit, but certainly fatal!

''Aha! What do we got here?'' I whispered. A strange ornament seemed to be detaching from the wall, revealing a grip. I took a deep breath and pulled it.

*BRAOOM*... *CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK*...*BDAM*

Interesting; it seems that I found a secret mecanism. In front of me, the wall gave away to a staircase, as dark as moonless night. That might be the way to the cells. I saized the opportunity and entered the gloomy stairwell. But quickly, what seemed a safe way to my objectif became a deadly trap; as soon as I set my hooves on a stair, it fell into the depht. I was racing against the time. I couldn't fail now, that would be so stupid! I galloped the faster as I could. The sound of the stairs, crashing at the bottom of the deep well was bloodcurdling, but the vision of the door gave me all the strenght and bravery that I needed.

*CRRRAAAAAAAAAK*... *BDOOM*

I rushed trough the door like a predator swooping on my prey, got across the wooden door and sprawled to the ground. I was breathless; too much action in a row. Maybe I'll rest here, a little bit...

*GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

''Ow... Dear...'' I was so focussed on my last mishap, that I didn't notticed that I was in the presence of Mister abductor, the very-very-very dangerous behemoth dragon. I covered myself with my ingenious subterfuge, I raised my sword and then I.....

*BLEEP... BLEEP... BLEEP.. BLEEP.. BLEEP... BLEEP*

''Mmmh?... What the...'' A dream.... It was just a freakin' dream... Damn... And it was becoming so much exciting! What am I doing here? Oh, yes.. My promotion...

I remembered it like it was the day before... Because it was the day before... After my little ''properly useless escapade'', the section head has given me a choice. A very simple choice.

The Special Unit, that's where they send all the most crazy killers and the one like me that can't follows the lead. I can say good-bye to my employment at the Investigation Services.
