I coughed up blood, I looked at it curiously.
Gah, why did the company have to close down? I could be having a nice normal life right now and not work as a mercenary.
"Rafael, take the your soldiers and go mount your steeds. The enemy is closing in upon us blood will be shed." My captain barked at me. He was a tall strong man who could strike fear into anyone foolish enough to look him in the eye. But I simply laughed at the man's stature, he may look like a formidable foe but that made no difference. I feared no one. I nodded at my captain and barked at my men to get on their horses.
I looked and saw a group of soldiers marching toward us, the numbers seemed to have been around oh, a lot. My soldier's eyes went wide with fear. We had expected the numbers to be around 700, but the numbers here neared 1000! I simply laughed at my men. "What? Think this battle will end up with us on the ground dead? Look closer their formations are are in confusion. They're in disarray they're commander is a stupid man he just sent them charging at us like idiots!"
They leaned over their horses and saw that the soldiers were bumping each other and tripping over trying to charge at us like wild boars the man in front wore massive armor and looked like a steel giant carrying a massive Battle Axe, this man seemed to be the commander. Hm, I'll kill the fool of a commander first. I thought amused. My thoughts wandered for a moment. I laughed, how did I end up in this sort of place, filled with brutes and savages? Then the army clashed against us.
"So your the famed mercenary everyone wants to hire, eh?" The commander of the other army looked at me-- well I thought he was his helmet was massive and he loomed over me like a giant. I looked at him analyzing his armor and looked for a spot that would be the best to hit to end the fight quickly. Then I saw it, it was a small spot, just at the edge of his neck their was a thin piece of armor, that would hardly withstand a small knife.
"What are you looking at, mercenary?" His voice boomed.
"Oh nothing I just know that I'm gonna win this fight." I smiled.
"Oh, yes? How do you know that?"
"Because..."
"Gah, stop playing jokes on me mercenary!" And he grabbed his mighty axe and swung it at me.
"Stupid!" I yelled and jumped landing just at the edge of his axe. I smiled and leaped right over the man. Quick as a fox I slid my sword out and sliced at his neck. His body went limp he dropped his weapon and fell his eyes filled with shock and surprise.
The fighting stopped. Someone yelled, "He has slain our commander! Run for your lives!" Then the army ran dropping their weapons and shields, and with a clanging of armor bumping upon each other the army fled.
I looked at my commander his face pale with shock. And said to him, "My money please." And he handed it over and looked at me and replied, "What are you?"
"A mercenary." And I vanished.
