Story #2 - Happily Ever After

A little more about this project. As I'm pretty new at this, so far the challenge to me seems to be able to draw a bigger story with the 100 words. For the moment, it seems like there's only enough room to draw out one characters' thoughts, or describe one moment in time. We'll see what comes up in the future. Enjoy. =)

Happily ever after. That’s what they told me. Bah. Let me give you a piece of advice. Stick to rewards of gold, land, fully furnished castles, and perhaps even livestock. Long haired blondes? Princesses? Enchanted damsels? Sure they’re great for the first few years but then comes the whining.

“Don’t leave your shields lying around! MORE ogre blood stains? Why do you have to spend so much time with your stupid sword?”. You’d think that having to vanquish evil-doers, demons, and other monstrosities are valid excuses, but no! “You’ve got to set an example for the kids”, they say. Bah.
