"Alright, I'll see what I can do," I say as I spot a ladder that seemed high enough to reach her head. I point to the ladder and say, "Grab that ladder Dustin."
Dustin nods and picks up the ladder, walking it over to the wall where the head was. Meanwhile, my other friend Yumper uses his knife to cut the body free from its post. Zoss was keeping watch with his longsword.
Dustin grabbed the head and brought it down, placing it back on the body. The lady dusts herself off and stretches, "Thanks," she says as she looks at each of us individually, "But I regret to inform you, that this was a trap."
Four bolts appear, knocking each of our weapons out of our hands. A Raiju tackles Dustin, the lady grabs hold of Yumper, Zoss is bound and stunned by a Medusa, and I am grabbed by a Chimaera. Looks like these girls were all hiding in ambush.
The lady runs a hand through her long white hair and says, "The problem with being too nice...things like this can happen."
"What is all this!?" Yumper demands, trying to break out of the lady's grip. "A trap," the lady replied, "For us to get men," the Raiju added.
"And that's how I met my wife sweetie," I say to my Chimaera daughter Evelyn on the way to drop her off at school. "Cool, so what happened to all those other guys?" she asks.
"Well, I know that Dustin and that Raiju became DJs at the local nightclub, Yumper and the Dullahan eventually became close and became treasure hunters, and Zoss and that Medusa, I don't know what became of them."
Evelyn nods, "That sounds great Dad."
When I drop Evelyn off at school, I go to my job at the ice cream parlor. I sit behind the register, and to my surprise, the first two people that walk in are Zoss and the Medusa.
"Zoss, how have you been?" I ask. Zoss has this grim look on his face, and the Medusa answers, "I help him model at the art school, the students love to look at his sexy body."
Zoss's face becomes flush with red and I smile. "I'll have raspberry!" he says quickly. As I serve the customers their orders, I think back to the time my wife and I first met, even if it was a little crazy and rough. She now helps a Minotaur coach the high school football team, and our lives couldn't be better, all because of what occurred in those ruins many years ago.
