Lying on the ground, feeling very humiliated. Arboc sits straight up, reaches behind his back and draws a long steel dagger. He slices the leather that bound his knees in one quick motion. Then the Knight stands on his feet and brushes the dirt from his clothes. Arboc stares at LadyChina like a rabid wolf ready to pounce. “Excuse me,” he say and proceeds towards the man call Colossus, and without say one word, Arboc plants a perfect size 13 in that spot between the man’s legs that hurts oh so much. The big man keels over in pain. The Knight then grabs the back of Colossus’s head and pushes it toward the ground, while at the same time; Arboc brings his right knee up, into his opponent’s jaw. Colossus (with the help of Arboc), takes a nap at that very moment. Breathing heavily, Arboc joins LadyChina at the lunch table. Rubbing his neck, Arboc says,”Would you have preferred a stuffed mushroom instead?” Opening a bottle of wine, the mighty Knight forgets his manners and fills his goblet and takes a hearty drink. “Nice move. I underestimated you. That won’t ever happen again.” Arboc takes another drink. “Try something like that again and there will be more then your giant’s teeth on the ground.”
Looking at LadyChina with murderous eyes, Arboc fills LadyChina’s glass with the wine on the table. “DRINK!” He demanded thrusting the glass at her,
“Do you know why I chose this place? Look around. These ruins were once the place of a mighty battle. Long ago, when the earth was new, all the beasts and creatures of the volcano wrecked havoc over Yseribus. True chaos reigned. Eons went by and the nasty's of this place ran wild. So wild, that their evil spilled into lands beyond the borders of Yseribus. But the beings of the outer lands would not stand by while the evil of Yseribus destroyed their lands. These being began to group together and invaded Yseribus. People came to Yseribus. Clerics, rangers, barbarians came to this land. Wizards, knights, even trolls came to Yseribus. These people came to Yseribus and fought back against its indigenous creatures. The two sides fought over many more eons, so many, no one knew how long the war had been going on. The new beings of Yseribus pushed the old back into the volcano which spawned them. And as you know, the Cano finally went silent.”
After speaking this tale a smile returned to the face of the man called Arboc. “Funny thing though, the war went on so long that both sides were influenced by the other. Good and evil. Harmony and chaos. Can’t have one with out the other.”
“The symbol on that medallion does mean something to me. But not for the reason you think.” Arboc’s words are spoken with cold harsh tone. Closing his eyes briefly, Arboc takes a deep breath and regains his composure. “Definitely not for the reasons you think, Mi'lady. I have already told you one story today LadyChina. I’ll tell you one about serpents another time.” The being called Colossus begins to stir from his sudden nap. Arboc draws his sword and says, “Either turn him back into a toad now, or I will separate his head from his body before he can stand. Now gather your things and go. We will talk again when I’m ready. GO!!!!!” Arboc the True stands with his sword at ready. At this very moment, he is the most dangerous creature in Yseribus.
