Fred had been stifling his fear of human-animal hybrids, resisting the urge
to scream when he fell down. He just couldn't stand them... it had all
started when the girl he was friends with ever since he was old enough to
remember had been polymorphed into a gnoll by a freak magical event. The
event was vivid in his mind. They were playing hide and seek together at
the age of 12 in a forest when he heard her crying behind a tree. He went
to go comfort her, but instead found a hyena-headed little girl in the very
same dress his friend had been wearing. It had taken the kingdom's best
sorcerors years to treat the psychological wounds inflicted by this event,
and even they were not sucessful in removing his fear. The fear was not
paralyzing to Fred, but his fear would erupt into anger at the slightest
provocation. The mixed fear and anger usually subsided once he killed
whatever was causing it... so he made a point of avoiding animal-human
hybrids unless he knew no one would miss them.
Fred drew his blade and uttered an incoherent diatribe about "abominations"
and "chimeras" while staining his sword crimson with the blood of the
fox-woman. Fred began to laugh, knowing very well that he'd killed another
in a fit of rage. Killing got easier every time. He was glad that the King
didn't know about this, otherwise, he'd be in serious trouble...probably
executed for his crimes.
