Chapter 1: The Boar Hat
The bar was loud and filled to the brim with the nearby villagers who decided to stop in for a drink and a good time. A smile crossed the face of the short green eyed blonde behind the counter as he watched the goings on of the patrons around him, his hands always busily filling mugs and cleaning ones that said patrons had emptied moments before. Most of the conversations were about what had happened to them that day or plans for the village, however one conversation in particular cause the blondes ear to perk up as well as most of his attention turn towards the one talking.
"I hear it's one of the Seven Deadly Sins that was slaughtered in battle ten years ago only to return to haunt all of Britannia in its blood rusted armor." The young farmhand had gathered quite a large audience around his small table as he spoke, waving his arms in wild gestures to emphasize his words.
"Yeah right, I hear all the sins died out years ago. We all know that you don't come back from death. That's just a story parents tell their children, 'you better mind or else the sins will come back in blood rusted armor to get you!'" An older gentleman wagged his finger at the young farmhand as he spoke to add another layer of shame to the boys bright red face. The blonde chuckled as he slid a mug of ale across the bar to another customer.
"Your parents sure work you hard kid." The main stated cheerily as he accepted the drink.
"Oh no, I'm no kid. I own this place." The blonde answered merrily as he flashed the customer a large cocky smile.
"What-" he shrugged at the astonished look that many of the faces around the bar.
"You sure don't look your age there sonny." An older gentleman with grating streaks in his beard matching those of his hair stated after taking a long drink from his mug.
"It's a family secret, we age a lot slower than everyone else." He gave the old man a wink, "it's my family recipes that let us do that, same ones i serve here at the bar." His matter of fact voice and calm demeanor aaa he spoke had many of the nearby patrons raising their arms to call his attention and order a meal. Plates where passed around expertly and many people's eyes sparkled as they glanced down at the delicious looking morsels before them. The green eyes of the blonde bar owner twinkled mischievously as they each took a large bite out of their meals.
"Can't say much for the taste though. The boar hat is famous for great booze and terrible food after all." He chuckled to himself as one after another everyone began to spit out their meals.
"Hey you think this is some kind of joke?" A burly man with short cropped hair stood up far too quickly as he screamed at the blonde and knocked over the table that he and his buddies had occupied. Food splattered across the floor and the blondes bright green eyes flashed down to study it, "I'll beat you senseless bar owner or not!" The much taller ma exclaimed loudly as he held his fists up menacingly.
"H-hey Brian watch out! He's got a sword!" One of the slightly shorter friends of the one causing the ruckus, Brian, stammered as he pointed to the green dragon shaped handle on the blonde bar owners back.
"Looks like we got a problem that needs solvin'," the blonde smirked as he reached up behind himself to grasp the handle with one hand and snapped his fingers with the other.
"You call that a mess. I've seen bigger ones made in much smaller towns than this." Everyone turned to see a bright pink pig strolling into the room. Hanging from his right ear was a silver tag that stated STAR BOAR in large letters that where cut into the metal and his face held a smug smirk as he strutted through the crowd to stand beside the bars owner. Without another word the pig dug his snout into the mess and began to loudly lap it up as everyone besides the owner himself looked on in confusion and amazement.
"Next time try to leave me some decent sized scraps okay?" The pig asked after the floor was gleaming clean and his back was turned to all but the owner.
"You know guys I was thinking of making some fresh barbecue ribs and starving them up, anyone interested?" The bar owner asked the group nonchalantly. The pig jumped quickly and turned to fully face the blond before bowing his head the best he could.
"T-thanks boss! Those scraps were amazing!" It stated loudly, causing everyone to laugh and the ominous feeling in the air to lighten as if it had never been there in the first place. The blonde made his way over the bar in two leaps, one to land on the bar and one to land behind it, and the customers fell back into a comfortable rambling of conversations. His green hues traveled to the ceiling above his head as floor boards creaked under the weight of the pig. He squinted slightly before turning to make idle chit chat with a patron nearby him.
"Do you think that the rumors are true, about the Sins?" The older man who had spoke up before asked, effectively catching his attention.
"Well, they could all be dead," he began around a large smirk, "or you never know, they could be alive somewhere living nice quiet lives." He lifted a dirty mug and gave it a thorough scrubbing with the hand towel he kept at the bar as he spoke the words with ease. The old man chuckled loudly and took a long drink from his mug.
"You sure know how not to answer questions Mr. Barkeep." The old man chuckled once more around his words.
"Dunno what you're talking about." He stated as he poured the now clean mug full of ale and took a drink from it himself.
"I hear that rusty knight was seen around these parts, whatcha gonna do if it comes in here?" Another patron asked as they leaned over the bar.
"What else, I would serve it a drink. This is a bar after all." He stated as he stared blankly at the one asking the question. The one near enough to hear their conversation began to laugh loudly at the bluntness of his reply. He smiled broadly at their reactions and took another drink from his ale.
Just as it had begun to settle down once more there was a thundering sound of the heavy wood door being thrown open. All eyes turned towards it as a tall armor clad knight shambled in slowly. The gleam of the metal that made up the armor was dulled by a thick layer of rust that covered the knight from head to toe. The owner took another sip from his ale as the patrons of the bar began to scream bloody murder and rushed past the knight and out of the bar, shouting of their fear to the ever darkening sky.
"Yo." He stated after swallowing what he had in his mouth," how can I help you there friend?"
"This doesn't look good." Whined the pig from behind the bar where he hid between the owners legs.
"The seven deadly sins~" the armored knight called out in a wavering voice as it took another step towards the bar.
Then it fell flat on its face.

I hope that you enjoyed reading this chapter and all the chapters to come.
