a small peice from a book im working on called "Enter The Stupidity"

Tera’s story began some 30 years ago in a land called Barbaric. His mother was a simple but large woman who had only one goal in life: to land herself the strongest barbarian around. That’s exactly what happened. Teradeuce’s father was a Mettle Swinger with a strong reputation of being one nasty barbarian with not much up stairs and…well pretty much nothing else. When he was the ripe old age of five his father was killed in a battle with a hungry dragon. Well the dragon was no longer hungry. Shortly after his fathers disappearance his mother disappeared in the night leaving young Tera all to himself. After wondering around for days eating what ever he could catch and eat (a deer and a bear not to mention other animals) he came across an old barbarian who took him under his wing till he turned 20. The old barbarian then kicked him out the door. Of course the old barbarian forgot that the door was closed so Tera got a nasty bump on the head.

Teradeuce really didn’t know what to do with his life, all he knew was how to swing his mettle stick around to cleave innocent creatures clean in half as long as they were taller then his knees. So one day as he walked through the City he was asked by a stranger after he was attacked by four muggers while walking through an ally to take care of someone for him and that he would pay the barbarian what ever he asked. Well, needless to say the four muggers were found the next day all over the ally, poor fools. Well it took till sunrise the next day to make up his mind on what he wanted. Tera met the strange man that night at the tavern he was told to meet him at.

“Alright barbarian I want you to hunt down a certain Orc type creature thingy that has been terrorizing the sheep on the out skirts of the City. He goes by the name of Da’Rex, eliminate him and you will get your reward.” The stranger in black clothing said while sipping gently on a strange but very strong drink.

“Umm what does eliminate mean?” Was all Tera could really think to ask at the moment. He wasn’t used to Big City deals or anything of that matter.

“It means to kill him, get rid of him, make him no longer living, take his life, give him a dirt nap permanently, Make it to were he no longer breathes see. No matter what you have to do as long as it’s within reason of course. Now what do you want in return for this task?”

“Beer, lots of beer.”

“Um ok how much are we talking here?”

“Lots”

“How much is lots?”

“Now you look stupid strange man. Lots mean very much.”

“Ok then, so be it. One thing though I want my assistant to go with you to make sure you get the job done. My assistant is one of the most fearsome creatures in all the land, a human woman. Her name is Eleda. You leave tomorrow morning, so get some sleep. Eleda will be at your room to get you and show you were this Orc thingy was last seen.” The strange man said before getting up and leaving the Tavern.
