Mercy’s Quest

By Honey Moon

Torch in hand, Mercy made her way silently through the

damp moonlit wood. Her nose twitched as she passed yet another

moldering corpse. “He should have ducked.” She whispered as she

toed the still occupied helmet aside. The steel incased head clanked

softly against its former body. Four limbs lay several paces in four

differing directions. This was the sixth armored body she had

passed. The king had sent his six most trusted knights in a bold

attempt to rescue his only offspring, Prince Alexis. As Mercy had

suspected, the plan had failed.

The leather-clad woman’s full bosom rose in pride. Armor

was fine if you wanted to show off your youthful manly strength

while parading through a village, but she would choose speed any

day! Simple but wicked mechanical and magical traps had ended

the lives of the king’s champions. At a full forty seasons her eyes

were still keen and her body still agile enough to win the day. Of

course the stench of the dead near each trap had helped too.

There was a soft rustle in the trees ahead. Without thinking,

Mercy threw herself to the ground. A blast of flame roared over

her prone body. It felt as if she stood too near a smith’s forge.

Three seconds! Three seconds before the beast could draw another

breath and exhale burning death over her. Three seconds was all

she needed!

Mercy leapt to her feet and charged the dragon as it entered

the clearing. It was unknown where these creatures had come from.

Some say they were a folly of the olden times, when man had

dared to tamper with the very essence of life itself. Others say they

were sent from the pits of hell itself to punish the wicked. Either

way, Mercy didn’t care. She just knew it was the beast’s life or her

own! The dim light of the fallen torch flashed on burnished steel as

she drew her sword. The Hell beast opened its maw to discharge

another blast. The warrior had only one chance. She screamed in

wordless rage as she thrust! Her steel plunged deep into that

hideous maw! Mercy felt the solid jar and crunch as the blade

continued through the back of its throat and severed the beast’s

spine. Yanking it free, she danced aside as the dragon convulsed in

death. Flame erupted as the foul creature twisted and writhed much

as a headless chicken running across a farmyard. No chicken was

as dangerous as this! Burning death rained everywhere as the

dragon died. Thankfully, aside from a large squirrel that happened

to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, the creature only

managed to incinerate itself.

“Damnation!” Mercy cleaned her blade with a scrap of cloth

as she watched the funeral pyre burn. The scent of the beast’s

cooking flesh made her mouth water. It was such a crying shame

that dragon meat was pure poison to humans! It would have been

quite a bonus to be able to increase her supplies. Still, it was better

to keep her pack light. Mercy satisfied herself with grabbing the

burned squirrel. It hadn’t been properly butchered, but beggars

couldn’t be choosers.

“That Hell spawn beast had the feel of a guard.” She

muttered softly as she skinned, and then tore the legs from the

squirrel to make her dinner. She tossed away the rest of the animal

and picked up her torch. “Guarding what though, I wonder?”

Eating with one hand, she bit into steaming meat as she followed

the dragon’s tracks by firelight. Mercy soon discovered just what it

was guarding. Wiping squirrel grease from her hands, she stood

and studied the stone outcropping before her. Set into the living

rock was a massive oaken door. “Now things are getting

interesting!”

The warrior knew the risks involved in opening such a door.

She had no way of detecting if any spell were placed upon it. Just

touching the surface could give the witch warning of her approach.

She had come this far. She just had to see this through! Mercy

grasped the iron ring and gave a pull. With a squeal of protest, the

door slowly creaked open. The air from below was surprisingly

cool against her skin as she entered the stone structure. Thrusting

her torch forward, she eyed the stairway ahead of her. This must be

it. Down in the bowels of the earth was the witch’s lair. Why else

would there be such a fearsome guardian? Mercy had no option.
