Quest Completed
Dent Masterson looked down upon the corpse, anger and relief welling up within. At his side was his faithful tiger companion, Haley. Together they had destroyed Dent's greatest enemy, The Goblin King.
In the end, it seemed such a simple thing. The horrid creature and it's cohorts had taken the life of his parents and mentor, and now it's life was forfeit. Dent had cleanly skewered the Goblin King while Haley launched her final assault of claws and bites. The evil beast fell to the floor, dropping the Masterson Axe as he did.
Time seemed to stop for the ranger as he knelt down and picked up the Masterson Axe. Dent did not hear the clanging of swords and the mix of chaos and death that danced around him. He heard only the silence of his mind, and felt only the aching in his heart.
His goal had been accomplished.
Revenge had been taken.
The axe had been retreived.
His parents and mentor had been avenged.
Dent felt Haley's warm breath on his hand and he was snapped back to Rappan Athuk and was suddenly aware of the chaos and war around him. Filled with renewed vigor and charged with an uplifted spirit, Dent ran into battle like an angry bear. He would fight to save his friends and defeat this evil trio, and if he died in the process, it would not matter.
His loved ones did not die in vain.
His parents and mentor had been avenged.
Whether he lived or died, he could now be at peace.
