#3 -Probably it’s Prophecy
The only thing rarer than a homicidal chicken is a hero who lives to see retirement.
Dannen Ateran spent the week following his battle with the necromancer and his undead army doing exactly what he enjoyed most—nothing.
Certainly nothing heroic. At least nothing more heroic than lying in Claire’s bed and reveling in the feeling—depressingly unfamiliar—of having no one try to kill him.
At least, that was, until Perandius summoned him to the land of the gods once more with a mission to rescue a shepherd boy foretold of in prophecy.
Dannen didn’t care for shepherd boys—the fools never could seem to stay out of trouble—and he cared even less for prophecies. But considering that the messenger god confiscated the Divining Stone—which Dannen had given to Claire as a necklace and which she loved, likely more than him—he decided it might be best to leave Talinseh for a time.
And so Dannen, hoping to keep breathing a bit longer, sets off to the south with his companions. But that was the thing about fleeing from death—no matter how fast a man runs, it’s always ahead of him.
And that death, this time, might well come in the form of wererats, plague-ridden beasts infesting the sewers of a port city or, perhaps, in an ancient sea monster and, if all else fails, there’s always the group of assassins hunting them.
Plenty of ways to die and die horribly but then, Dannen had lived long enough to know that if a man went looking for ways to die, he never had to look very far.
#4 – A Cult Classic
Assassins are bad. Angry gods are worse. All that plus cults and demons?
In the hero business, they call that Monday.
The worst thing about a man being led to his execution—aside from the whole impending death bit—was that he immediately tried to figure out what choice had brought him there.
Which Dannen thought was ridiculous.
After all, if a man found himself hunted by assassins, sneaking through were-rat infested sewers, and attacked by sea monsters, then being led to his own execution by city guards, it was a safe bet he wasn’t all that good at thinking things through in the first place.
The one possible comfort a man could have, when faced with his own death, was that things simply could not get any worse.
The problem, of course, was that things could always get worse.
Sure, on the surface being saved from certain death seemed all well and good. But what about when that saving came at the hands of the God of Mischief, a deity whose sole purpose was to cause chaos?
And what if, after being saved, a man—along with those poor fools unlucky enough to be his companions—found himself facing assassins, a strange magical hermit, a demonic cult and a very demonic demon?
If there’s knowledge to be gained, if there are lessons to be learned, then they are the same lessons the world had been trying to teach Dannen since his birth.
Insane mages make for poor friends, the only thing better than being a hero is being alive, and then, of course, the most important lesson of all…
Things can always get worse.
