BerserkRages Note: This is my second story on fan fiction. I have another one,
but it isn't that good. I asked my favorite author on fan fiction to help me out. She told
me she would so I'm glad about that.

Disclaimer: I don't own Diablo or its ideas. You can't sue me for it. Even if you
did I only have $10 in my money jar. I would get a lawyer for free if you plan on sueing
me you couldn't pay for him/her.

Dedicated to RedLady for helping me out with my story.

Chapter 1- The Employer

Chalan was a mercenary who had lived in the jewel of the desert Lut Gholein. Just a
couple months ago he had become a working mercenary to protect the city. He was a
combat mercenary and was one of Griezes favorites. He was one of the only survivors
since the demon attacks started. Unfortunately now he was stuck on a low paying
assignment protecting a caravan coming from the Rouge Encampment that had recently
been cleansed of its troubles bye a lone Amazon. He had even heard that that amazon
was on this caravan. He didn't care about that though. All he wanted was a knew job so
he could get some more money. He hated these caravan assignments. All that would
happen is maybe a lone leaper. Just a waist of time to him.

"Hey Chalan" " We're just about to Lut Gholein"

Chalan knew that voice. It was his friend and caravan leader, Warriv.

"Ok Warriv" "I'll get everything ready to unload"

Then he heard screams coming from the front of the caravan. He quickly got his weapon
and headed up to see what the problem was. When he got there he saw it. It was a group
of the once peaceful saber cats. They had already killed a number of people with their
javelins.

"Damn that's gonna come out of my pay" "Why do these saber cats keep attacking us"

What was this? Someone was already there helping the people. It was an amazon with a
longbow. Maybe those rumors were true. He shook the thoughts out of his head and
began attacking the saber cats. He charged and impaled one with his spear and quickly
turned around and took out another. Him and the mysterious amazon made quick work of
the saber cats. Shortly after they reached the safety of the cities walls. There Chalan
reported to his mercenary captain Griez.

"So Chalan, I hear your caravan got attacked..." he began

"Yea those damn saber cats came out of nowhere." Chalan calmly answered

"He wait Chalan. I also heard an amazon helped you out."

"Now sir. I didn't even know that amazon was on the caravan. She just came and started
killing those cats."

"Do you mean you don't know who that amazon is?"

"No. Well. Sorta. Sir I heard she helped out the rouges back west, but..."

"She did you idiot! She was the one who killed that damn demon queen Andariel!"

"She did? I thought those were all just rumors."

"NO. She took care of all the rouges troubles." Griez yelled

"Ok whatever. That's in the past now. I'm goin to get some rest." Chalan finished

Chalan walked away from Griez before he could answer him. He quickly got to the small
home he had been provided since he was hired. He had had a long day so he donned his
armor and slumped into bed. Later next morning he heard a loud knock on his door.

"Hey! Chalan, someone's gonna hire you for a job" Waheed yelled. Waheed was a close
friend of Chalan. They had both been in the mercenary service together. Now their
assignments were spreading apart.

"Ok Waheed. I'm comin." he replied.

Chalan went to Griez, who was at his usual post. He also saw that amazon there. Was
she goin to become a mercenary? He ignored it and went over to Griez.

"Hey Griez what kind of assignment am I gettin now?"

"Well Chalan, your little amazon friend thinks that you can help her."

Griez then walked up to Chalan and whispered in his ear.

"I hear she is gonna help us with our troubles."

"What? I'm goin with the amazon from the caravan?"

"Of course. She wouldn't take anyone else but you."
"Well I guess I'll take the job. How long am I goin to be on this job?"

"You got a big hire. She's taking you until you die or she doesn't want you anymore"

"Ok, how much am I gettin paid?"

"An even 1,000. Plus any bonuses, weapons, or anything she will provide you with."

"Ok! I accept." Chalan greedily responded

Chalan walked up to the amazon.

"Hi there. I didn't really get your name on the caravan."

"My name is Seri. I come from the amazonian island of Skovos."

"Well then, hello Seri my name is Chalan. What exactly do you plan on me doin for
you?"

"Chalan, you are to come with me on my travels. You will assist me on slaying demons,
and helping me cleanse this land of evil."

"Yea. I can do that, but I'm not gonna be alone doin this right?"

"Of course not. I will be with you." she kindly replied

"Well, I have to go get my stuff, and I'll start right away."

"Fine by me."

Chalan jogged down the street to his house. That amazon had sounded like a real kind
person. he normally thought of amazons like beautiful barbarians. Now she seemed like
a kind person. When he reached his house he told Waheed his good news. He got his
trusty spear and his armor. He then went back to Seri.

"Ok. I'm back." he told her

"You expect to stay alive with that on you?" she sarcastically asked him.

"It's all they gave me when I joined the mercenaries."

"Ok. come with me then."

Seri lead Chalan to Fara, the blacksmith in town.

"Hi Fara. It's me again I came to get my new friend here some stuff."

"Do you mean you are going to buy me equipment when you are aware that I have 1k in
my pocket" he asked her confusingly.

"You probably need that money to feed yourself or pay rent. I don't mind."

She bought him a very nice voulge of slaying and some chainmail and a full helm. He
was amazed at those amazon. She was kind and she even cared about him. He thought
she was an amazon that was unlike any other he had met before.

"Well, I haven't ever had an employer who has bought me anything to help. They just
gave me that, your on your own attitude."

"I'm not like them though."

Chalan was amazed at this amazon. He spent the night in his house, and she rented a
room in Elzixes place. He wondered what she would have him do. It sounded like a
tough assignment, but the thought of her being with him conforted him. He almost
looked foreword to it.
