Hero, That's what I'm one day going to be, I had sworn, but this was bit thick. Sure I had been roaming the roads, paths hills forrests and swamps for nearly 20 years now, and I had assisted towns who had been struggling with both bandits, and monsters.

My sword and dagger had drawn blood more than once, and I had left few bodies behind, but those had been acts of self defence, or defence for settlemsnts or caravans. I preferred persuasion, Sometimes rather forceful persuation, than outright killing, and my motivation was to help the civialian population, more spesificly, those who couldn't defend themselfs, and who were too small, or too distant for army to deal with.

I was fine with monsters. While major opinion was that they were just murderous mindless beasts, I had heard some claims that stated othervice. In fact I had spent a day with a hermit claiming he was married to a grizzly. Though how true that was, I doubted. if one live decades in the woods alone, it's not surprising that he goes slightly insane.

Now, as I said, I have sorted some monsterious issues. Driven holsturs deeper in to the woods, when they started becoming too brave, and approach the village I visited, Dueled a Lizardman, and even thuogh I lost, she had left the village, where she had wanted to duel just about everyone. Scared bunch of wererabbits away, after they had raided the fields of one village, Chased few cockatrices away from one village... thuogh my memory is bit fading with that, I remember chasing them but never catching them... and so on. But going against a manticore. That was quite darn thick even for me. How ever as this town had resources to trap the beast, just nobody brave enough to do it themselfs. Which I don't really blame them. I might wear a studded leather armor, and I might be skilled with a sword and dagger, and I might have a bow that has been crafted by elfes. But Manticores are one of the most dangerous monsters that exist, at least to my knowledge.

Normally I wont spend more than couple days in any village that can't offer me a job. Now I have been here for a week just pondering shuold I accept this job. Thuogh one does not become a hero, unless he does heroic things. And braveness isn't not being afraid, it's overcoming your fear. and the reason I'm hesitating is that I'm very afraid of what would happen if I fail to seal the enterance, or if the beast finds me near it's cave.

Then again, I was promiced hefty price if I manage to make sure that the monster doesnt come back. and for nearly 20 years I have been on the road searching for wealth and regognition, never really getting either. And one glance at my purse, tells me that it's nearly empty, Just couple copper and silver coins. Enough to buy food to travel to the next village, but after that I have just my clothes, weapons, and my horse. That finally setteled my decision, I'm not doing this to prove anything to anyone. I'm not doing this for the money. I'm not doing this, because I would hate monsters. I'm doing this, to survive. I'm 35, and I can allready feel that I'm not the young, and capable man that I used to be, and day by day I'm getting slower and weaker. If I don't get out of this life soon, then someone younger, and more capable man will end me sooner or later, Unless some monster or anmal beats him to it. In my thuogths I feel the old scar that starts from just above my left eye, and ends on my chin, leaving a clean strand on my inch long beard. One man nearly got me allready, but just disfigured my face.

So I get out of my motel room, and march to the village chief, telling him that I accept the task.

I left my horse in to the village, thuogh I shuold have asked a mule or donkey to carry all these bombs. I wanted to make sure I have enuogh to collapse half of the small mountain where the beasts cave was. While the distance itself wasnt that large, just 16 hour march if I keep up good speed, the terrain became near impossible to traverse with a horse just couple huors outside the village. But with the thick leather chest armor, studded leather leggings, weapons, and backpack full of explosives I was getting quite tired only 9 hours in and I have a feeling that I'm barely even half way up the mountain.

How ever I keep on walking up the slopes, and climbing the low ledges, and eventually when the day started turning to night I reached the treeline. This was a sign to me, that I had traevrsed about three quarters of the way. After this I wouldn't be able to hide myself under the trees so well anymore, from here on I would be traversing near the treeline, and eventually I would end up a little above the monsters lair.

I make a wicket out of my cloack, and set in for the night. While it was a bit cold, I didn't set up a campfire, it would just reveal that there was someone here. and I most certainly didn't want to be found.

The morning came, I woke up to the sound of slight drizzle, gathered my camp, and thankfully my backpack was still dry. I would have preferred the bombs that some mages make. Very stabile, and wont go off accidentaly. yet you can set them off from a fair distance, and they go off when you want them to go off. What I had was much more basic and much more volatile and unreliable stuff. Too hot, they go off, you drop one, and it goes off. they get wet, they most likely wont explode when you want to, not packed tight enough when they are made, they wont go off, or just pop like a fart. Pack them too tight, they go off. and last but not least, these weight twice as much. As I got my camp packed, I put my cloack over my backpack, and started folliwing the barely existing path, and I kept glancing on to the sky allmost constantly.

It took good 5 hours to reach, but eventually I saw a small cliffside, and rocks that allmost made a dome in front of the cave enterance. And just as start covering up to think about my options I saw the manticore leaving it's cave, and while it flew away, it wasnt exactly graceful, but it was definitely swift.

I lay low in the undergrowth of the forrest, Thinking on where to place the explosives, so that I could make sure the cave stays sealed. At first I thuoght about blowing up the rocks that formed the cave enterance. How ever that would require me to go right next to the cave, and if the enterance had bit more height that I would assume, the enterance would just become smaller hole slightly higher up, and it would be able to get out of it's cave, and then I would have very angry manticore to deal with. and I honestly I was allready much closer to it than I wanted. So many things could go wrong with that. The monster that dwells here could hear me, even thuogh the slight rain would drown out most of the noise I make. It could come out, or return from where ever it happens to be, and then it would defnitely notice me. heck where do I know it might even smell me.

The second option was climbing on top of the cliff, There was slight overhang there, and I shuold have enough explosives that I could get that to drop on top of the rocks, collapsing them, and hopefully securing the enterance. To that I would need to leave from any woodcover too, but I would be much more exposed and for much longer time. There was still the risk that it would spot me if it happens to fly in from the mountains side, but I estimated that the risks would be smaller there. Therefore I start finding a path on top of the small cliff.

Couple hours later, the slight rain has ended, and I have fund myself a nice crevace where can see the edge of the cliff, and while I can't see the cave enterance itself, I can see just in front of it. My gray and green cloack camouflages me from allmost all directions, and while still leaving me able to observe the cave. I had decided to wait until the manticore get's back before I set my explosives, as I dont want to be seen hanging on top of the cliff as it returns. How ever while I'm waiting for her return, I'm setting up the fuses ready, so I would need to light up only one, and set everything off in one go.

-"Sup? Ya tryin to blow up ma home?"

I turn around slowly, and see it... well... her... Sitting just 35 feet from me. I'm definitely getting old of she got that close withuot me even noticing. Her smile is definite sign of confidence, She's not even slightly worried about me, but it figures. If she can carry away young cows, I'm quite sure she doesn't see me as a big threat. to me how ever, She is a massive threat, thuogh I'm still alive, and not even wounded. If I'm lucky I might still get to tell how I faced a manticore, and lived to tell about my encounter.

-"Well, It seems that someone didn't like you stealing their livestock, and they hired me to deal with you. Thuogh it looks like I failed." -"You havn't failed yet, and I kinda hope that you won't fail either." She says with a smirk. -"Excuse me? You want to die?" I asked, as she really confused me. -"Oh there plenty of ways you could deal with me, you might even enjoy some of those ways, and nobody needs to die over it." -"Plenty of cattle have allready died, that threatens the livelyhood of entire village. That's why I'm here" I say as I slowly reach for my backpack on my right hand, and set my left hand on the daggers handle. -"And none of that cattle need to die anymore as you are here."

That's more confusing than enlightening. To me at least. She seemingly has no intention to kill me, unless this is just some sick game for her. And she knows that I am here to kill her. To me this is clear one must die situation, and I'm not having my hopes too high. Escape might be an option, but as I had earlier seen her swiftness, My hopes werent too high.

-"I've been waiting to get a nice plaything here, someone to care for and someone to toy with."

As she said that I had hard time trying to diguise my shock. -"Excuse me?" -"You heard me right, I've been waiting for someone to come to me, but as nobody came I had to encourage someone to come for me, and now here you are." -"Unfortunately I don't concider myself as a plaything for anyone." -"You will change your mind" she said, as she jumped towards me.

I dodged, Just barely, and as she passed me, I swung around sending my backpack flying behind her.

How ever she was much swifter than I had thuoght, and I saw her standing on the cliff edge, and she just grabbed my backpack in one hand like it weight nothing.

-"Ohh you have some fight in you afterall, I'm going to enjoy you a lot." she said, as she casually flung the backpack good 200 feet away, and that was uphill. What she didn't know, was what kind of explosives I had, and as I saw the backpack landing on a rock, I hit the ground, behind a rock, and covered my head with my hands.

The explosion shook the ground, and the blastwave threw her off the cliff. After the shower of smaller rocks, cumps of mud, and debree had ended, I climbed on my feet and looked around. There was a massive crater where the backpack had landed, a small mudlisde was going over the cliff edge, and the manticore was rubbing her eyes as she was fluttering half blindly couple hundred feet off from the edge.

I had failed. I knew well enough that I couldn't take her down in fair fight, and it was very unlikely I could take her down in unfair fight either. Now as she was blinded by the explosion I could have easily defeated her, but the fact was that as I cannot fly I couldnt have gotten closer than 100 feet from her. Therefore my only option was trying to get away from her, as I didn't want to face her wrath... or end up as her palything, what ever that was supposed to mean, it can't be anything good anyway.

For nearly half an hour I stumbled through the forrest. the rain had started again, which was good, it masked at least some of the noise I made barreling trough the undergrowth. But then I suddenly heard something swish past my ear, and not far later I saw familiar looking spines sticking out from a tree trunk. I stopped and turned, If I was going to go down running away, I was going to go down fighting. I looked up and these she was, standing 60 feet behind me, on a low branch of a tree, hands on her hips, with that same grin still on her face, and most disturbingly her tail was on her shoulder, opening and closing, and I coudl clearly see inside it.

-"Going the wrong way ya'know, ya gonna just get exhausted before we get to the fun part." -"What's your plan anyway?" I ask. -"As plaything is something I dont really want to be." -"Well that's exactly what you are going to be, I know you want to, You even going to want me to play with you." -"I highly doubt that." -"Doubt all you want, but I know better."

I drew my weapons, but the sword was knocked out of my hand allmost before I had gotten it out of it's seath, and the hand where I had my dagger was in a grip that was like steel. Her tail came from between her legs, and coiled around my neck, pulling me down, and forced my face against her bikini bottom. and then I felt one spind pushing against my cheek.

-"Now be a good boy and drop the knife" she said.

I wasn't going to drop it. That blade had saved me in numerous times, The adamantite blade was sharp enough that I could shove it trough a knights steel chestplate, allmost like it would have been made of paper, if anything was going to get me out of this mess, it was that blade. Thuogh her grip was way too strong for me to fight aganst, and as she realized I'm not going to let go of it, she lifted her tail slightly, only to force my head in her crotch so hard that I allmost couldn't breath. Eventually, I had to let the blade drop, as i started losing my consiousness.

As I dropped the blade, she immidiately loosened her grip. -"You have that fighting spirit, I'm defnitely going to enjoy you."

She changed her tails position, Just enough I could stand straight, thuogh one of her tailspikes was constantly pressing against my cheek. as we walked to her cave. The rain had turned to total downpour, as we walked to her cave. The mudslide that the explosion had caused had partially covered the enterance, but it was still large enough that we could walk trough. How ever, just as we were about to enter she suddenly looks up, and as I notice her suddenly looking up, I look too. Mudslide, and this one is large one. I feel a painful yank on my neck as she rushes inside the cave, pulling me with her. Just in time, before the enterance was completely buried. Awesome now we both are stuck in here, but it's unexpectedly light in there.

That's when I see another enterance, good 100 feet up and large enough that man could crawl trough... That is if man could get there that is. how ever man cannot fly, at least withuot right spells, and neither can man walk on mooth rock roof. In other words, There is no way out for me, unless she decides to carry me up there.

-"And now it's time for fun." She says as she finally releases her tail from my neck, She turns around, grabs my jacket shoulders, and literally tears it off in two pieces. Same with my lether leggings and pants under them. Just couple seconds later I'm thrown on a pile of hides that somehow resemble a bed. and a second later she's on top of me.

-"Now the more you struggle, the more I enjoy." she said, while clawing my chest, hard enough to leave red welts, but not enough to draw blood. Her tail came around her side, and "kissed" me on my nose. suckled on my nipples, while constantly showing few barbs out, scraping my skin. I did struggle, I struggled like my life depended on it. I had heard that there is a venom in those barbs and I wanted it away from me. And she was enjoying every second of it. Eventually, one barb struck on my chest, and couple seconds later, I understood what she ment when she claimed that I might enjoy it.

Thuogh it took few weeks to accept my situation, I was trapped, I was not much more than a tool for her enjoyment. but quite honestly, I actually enjoy my life this way. All my needs are taken care by her. and I try to take care of her needs, which usually means that I get pumped dry anything between 2-5 times a day. which means anything between 5-15 hours a day. And all that time I'm fighting against her with all my might, as she enjoys it that way.
