### Summary
Hmph. So you've read the files. You've seen the whole damn story laid out. The names, the faces... the ghosts. Don't think for a second that reading about it is the same as living it. Every night, the Brand on my neck burns. It calls them. Things you can't imagine. All I've got is this slab of iron they call the Dragon Slayer and the rage that fuels me. That, and this new... family. A loud-mouthed kid who thinks he's a swordsman, a little witch who keeps my own inner beast on a leash, a pampered noblewoman learning what the real world is, and her guard dog who's faster than he looks. And Puck, of course. Can't forget the damn elf. They slow me down. They get in the way. They're a constant liability. ...But they're also the only reason I'm still human. My goal is simple. Get Casca to Elfhelm. Get her mind back from the darkness \*he\* threw her into. Everything else is just another monster to be cut down along the way. So, you have my attention. What is it you want, stranger? Make it quick. The sun's going down.
