“My spleen!?” gasped Fred. “That’s right, your spleen!” said Blinky, the multi-eyed thing. This didn’t seem to suit the feline fancies of the lithe-bodied cat-man at all. “Meow wait jussst one minute!” it hissed, it’s large yellow eyes glowing ever brighter as it’s rage mounted. “We all agreed that I’d get to eat the ssspleen! Rawr!”“I agreed to no such thing!” Blinky shot back defiantly. “I was to attack first, therefore I get the spleen! You can have the liver, you mangy mongrel!” “But I don’t want the liver! I want the ssspleen!”“Well you can just go without, then!” The cat-guys hair stood on end and, claws fully extended, it advanced on it’s fellow minion of evil. “We’ll jussst sssee about THAT! RARWR!!!!”But before the two monstrosities could decimate each other, another bloodsucking tag-a-long of the now dead dragon intervened. It looked more or less humanoid, if one disregarded his five compound, insectile eyes and tail tipped with a stinger that dripped with poison. “Don’t you see what’s happening here!” he cried out above all the turmoil, silencing them, if only for a few precious moments. “He’s trying to turn us against each other, and succeeding! A hoard of hideous creatures divided against itself cannot stand! Besides, we all agreed that I’d get the spleen, remember?” Without further ado, the cat guy lunged with unnerving speed at the humanoid and sunk it’s needle-like fangs deep into the man’s neck, provoking a blood-curdling scream from the doomed wretch. In a last ditch effort he whipped his tail around and embedded the stinger deep into the cat man’s thigh. In a matter of seconds the cat-guy’s flesh began to melt from it’s very bones. Unlucky sod, as he was already on his 8th life, anyway. His haunting mews of anguish sounded like 1,000 kittens being drowned simultaneously.Soon the entire hoard was turning on itself. It was a horrible display of savagery the likes of which Fred, though fairly hardened, had never bore witness to. Suddenly though, above all the ruckus, the dragonslayer heard a clear, clean voice call out his name. He looked up to behold none other then the Wizard of Kamiro standing on a precarious ledge high above him. Hope newly rekindled in his heart, the brave knight rejoiced and was not unduly surprised when he felt his body being magically levitated above the bloody battle. “HE’S GETTING AWAY!”Fred looked down to find that the battle had come to an abrupt stop, and instead now hundreds of green and yellow and red glowing eyes were staring up at him in dumbstruck awe. “You’ll never catch me now! HA! HA!” he taunted them, perhaps a bit prematurely, as several of the monsters who seemed to possess the gift of flight rose up to meet him, their weapons drawn. “Oh, right,” Fred mused quietly. “Forgot some of you can fly!” But Fred need not worry, as the powerful wizard sent bolts of ensorcled lightning reigning down upon them, killing each of them instantly in turn. Their lifeless bodies fell to the cave floor far below, where they were promptly devoured by their horrific hoard.“We meet again!” said Fred upon his safe arrival on the ledge. He bowed slightly. “I owe you one!” And the wizard, in turn, bowed low, removing his hat. “And I underestimated you, oh slayer of dragons!”Fred blushed slightly. “Well...I couldn’t have done it without your help. When I return to tell the good news to my King, I will be sure to give you the credit you deserve.” The wizard snorted at that comment. “Bah! I do not seek the credit of the crown, or the accolades of the peasantry!”“There could be a substantial reward involved...” the knight added. “Well...okay then! Since you put it that way. I do need to pay off some old debts...”“How did you survive, anyway?” Fred prompted him suddenly. “I feared you dead.” The wizard let out a tired sigh. “That is a long story, for another time.”“Indeed,” agreed the knight. “I’m in fear for the princess and the farm boy. I’m afraid I have no idea where the dragon’s guards might have taken them.” The wizard shook his head. “Nor do I. It is unlikely he put her in the same torture chamber as before given our...rough housing.” The wizard smiled at that.“I suppose the best course of action is for us to split up and comb the caves independently.”
