Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-32463050-20170719023704/@comment-34263048-20180124011058

-"Apparently we have had a fight again." I mutter to myself as I see her. I walk closer to inspect her condition. She is certainly roughed up pretty bad, but on the other hand she has no life threathening injurys. -"Arent you a big one, what the hell beat you up?" I mutter to myself while checking her out. -"Well, I guess I gotta stich you back up." I say and head inside my home. I take few herbs, a tiny bottle of strong alcohol, small needle, a small roll of strong string, and some bandages, and head back to the impressive beast at my gate. Many mamono come to me when they need medical aid, I might be a recluse but nowdays I help anyone in their time of need, mamono or human, Mamono around here knows that, actually they know it better than humans who just see me as "That one weird guy". I drip some alcohol on the bite marks she has on her houlder, then dip the nedle in to the alcohol, put the string on the needle, and stitch the bitemarks shut. As I try to turn her over her side, It takes quite an effort as she is quite large, and I'm not exactly strong guy either, sharp senses, agility, unarmed and small arms combat skills are my forte. As I finally get her lifted so that I could bandage her, I'm in a bit of a surprise. As I first time see her front side properly I can see that I havent really done anything for her yet. She's full of cuts and bruises. -"Seriously, What has happened to you?" I mutter to myself again. I havnt seen this kind of mess since that dragon and 3 griffons got in to fight 10 years ago, Althuogh this time there doesnt seem to be any broken bones.

Now knowing full well that I cant just make a quick patch job on her I take my equipment and take them back in to my house. Then I walk to my well, and get a bucket of water. I throw the water on her face, and she wakes up, she quikly try's to take a defencive stance but soon falls over. Then she realizes who I am and starts pleading for help. -"I now, I now, Let's get you inside, Come here I'll help you." I say as I help her back on her feet and start helping her to get in my house. But I get a strange feeling that we are beiing watched, and that feeling rarely is wrong. Well I just need to get her in bit more swiftly then, I start to get a feeling that I might get to know who did this pretty soon. When we are climbing the stairsI can hear how there is footseps behind us. They got pretty close by now, 40-50 feet behind us, Trying to be get close quietly but not silently, I can hear at least 6 of them, but there is more likely more of them, who ever they are. As I'm almost at the door somebody speaks from behind us. -"Just leave her to us, we have some unfinished business" I feel how the hellhound twitches, She hadnt noticed them, but from the corner of my eye I can see sheer terror on her face. -"I dont think she is quite ready to continue that business right now. Come back next week and she might be." -"No, it will be taken case right here, and right now." I open the door and say to the hellhound, "-Just get in, and try to make yourself comfortable, I'll take care of these." The hellhound get's trough the door, but almost instantly collapses on the floor, I dont have time to take care of her now as I hear footseps allready on the stairs to my porch, I just close the door. -"You still have a chance to give her to us and nothing will happen to you." I hear from behind me. -"As I said she isnt in a condition where she could continue on anything you had going on." I answer calmly, as I turn around to face who ever there is. In front of me there was 8 werewolfs one standing just 10 feet away from me, and 7 waiting on the yard behind her. most of them looked like they had been roughed up a bit, but nothing really serious. Well I had heard that there was a new werewolf pack who moved around here half a year ago. They had stirred some trouble around here, but nothing too serious so far. but now they were all looking ready to defeat me, so they could possibly even kill the hellhound.

She clearly didnt expect that kind of anwser and lunged at me, I dodged, grabbed her hand, and used her momentum against her, and twisted her arm behind her back, grabbed her tail with my other hand, and forced her to keep up her momentum and leaned back and started turning. She ended up going around me, I shifted my footing and tripped her, She ended up going headfirst over the staires, and on to the ground. Like I said, Come back in a week or so She should be in good enough condition to continue your little argument, but as for right now, she isnt in a condition to continue that argument right now. So, please leave us." I clamly say to them. as I come on top of the staires. I have a feeling that this situation is far from over, but I have my right hand in my pocket, putting on a knucleduster I keep in my pocket just in case. I hear the one I threw off my porch just growl and then yell -"GET HIM!" And all 7 of them charged at me. Next moments were quite a flurry of punches, kicks, bite attempts, dodges, different limb locks. About 10 minutes In I saw a Minotaur watching us from my gate, casually leaning on her mighty axe, just looking at us. She knows exactly what's up, Afterall she was first who tried to rape me when I moved in 20 years ago, She has seen similar spectacles many times. Althuogh, this time someone isnt trying to rape me, they are just trying to beat me up. -"Came to enjoy the show?!" I shout at her. -"Yeah, it's always quite refreshing!" she shouts back. About 20 minutes later she shouts -"They really dont seem to be getting it!" -"Yeah, I think I have to end it soon, I'm getting a bit tiered!" I land the first real punches knocking most of the werewolfs bit further away. Then I take my dagger from my belt with my left hand, It looks more like a piece of art than a dagger actually, with it's chrystal blade and golden handpiece and finger guard. It has dragons head engraved at the end of it, and lions heads engraved at the ends of the finger guards. I bring the blade to the troat of who seems to be the alpha of the pack, and put some pressure on the blade, just enough to brake the skin then I awaken the force in the dagger, the blade turns crimson red and the werefolfs starts howling not as much form pain, but the surprise as she felt how her life energy was drained out of her, even though I barely used any of the blades power. Every werewolf stops attacking thinking that I'm actually about to kill one of them. -"Now this was entertaining, but I think the fun needs to stop now. I really suggest that you leave, preferrably somewhere far." -"How the hell you manage to beat us withuot getting a scratch?" asks the one I'm holding -"Oh nothing much, 87 years as an assasin will make you quite good in combat." She takes a gasp. -"But you cant be more than 30 years old!" -"You felt the force how I sucked little bit of life out of you. This weapon has been my main weaping for 172 years now. nobody knows the origins but it is said that this is the legenday blade the one of the old demon lords had. it is thousands of years old, and I can literally suck the life out of someone which in turn heals me, and gives me extra years of life, I'm nearly 200 years old now, But this body of mine is like a 25 year old would have. Yes, I have sucked the life out of many of my targets." With that said, I let her go. and the werewolfs left us. The minotaur was also allready leaving, And I head back to inside to tend my patient.

Couple weeks later the hellhound left me, She had seen and heard everything, and understanding quite well that she could never dominate me in any way, she wouldnt be able to enjoy from me as she would like, she didnt even try anything.

As for me. I continued my hermit life as a healer and as a peacekeeper, hoping that there would be a day, when there would be one of those magnificent beings would ask nicely, so I could surrender myself to them.
