Buck Despoiler of the Mountain

"Great, Buck. You've done it again!" Buck chastised himself as he readied his pike.

Buck was a little-known dragon slayer, but perhaps one of the most successful in the realm! This was mostly due to the enchanted weapon his father left to him when he passed, but Buck learned to master the weapon all the same.

There were not many beasts he could not fell, but his dearest companion, Truffles the Pig, was a standing testament that this fierce warrior could be beat!

Buck and Truffles had stumbled into what he thought was a dragon den, but it was much, much worse. Mega Wasps! Wasps the size of small horses with a stinger as deadly as they come. The buzzing was so loud, it ALMOST drowned out Truffles' squeals (but, not quite).

Thanks to this, the wasps were made aware of the two adventurers, and immediately sat upon them with unbelievable speed and coordination. Buck, the quick thinker that he is, held his mighty pike high in the air and uttered the words that could bring it to life.

"With these words, I shall implore you Destroy my foes with a holy honor that is true Stand with me as we bathe in the light and Dotta bless me with strength to win this fight"

And as the last words escaped his lips, a beautiful but blinding light filled the cavern, and almost immediately, the sounds of the buzzing dissipated. Within a moment, all of the wasps landed on the ground with a deafening thud, and were no longer a threat to the warrior and his pig.

This act always drained Buck to the point of passing out, but as always, his loyal friend Truffles would sit by his side til he woke yet again, and the two could finish their journey.

After a few hours, the brave warrior finally woke from his exhaustion.

"My goodness, Truffles, what a waste! There's not even any good loo-" Stopping mid-sentence, Buck's eyes landed on a small wasp larvae in the corner.

"Oooh, and what is this??" He said, as he traversed through the large wasp corpses to the back of the cavern. Gingerly picking up the larvae, a little coo escaped his lips. Buck could already feel a bond forming with the creature, but before he could get lost in thought for too long, Truffles squealed rather jealously.

"Oh wee lil piggums, don't you worry. This little guy won't be sticking around with us...I know just the wizard who will want this!" Buck said, excitedly, running off towards the cave's entrance, wee lil pig friend in tow.

What would become of these two stalwart warriors? Who knows! Tune in next week to find out!
