Legend of the Slayer, p7 of 100
by Philister
Fanfic written for TTH100
Theme: Slayers
Prompt: #085 - Watcher
Crossover with Highlander
The Watcher could not quite believe what he was seeing. His charge, the Immortal known as Cugar, was possibly the fiercest warriors of the age. More than five centuries old, he had slaughtered his way across two continents and taken more heads than anyone else he had ever heard or read of.
For over a thousand winters the Society of Watchers had kept watch on the Immortals, keeping their secret from the rabble, chronicling their movement through history. Yet this lonely Watcher was quite certain that none of his peers had ever seen anything like this.
The fiercest warrior of this age, defeated and beheaded by a frail girl. A girl who fought like a lion and with the strength of ten men, yet she was not an Immortal. How was this possible?
The Watcher would report his findings to the Society. The Society would decide to create a special group within their order whose sole purpose it would be to find out more about this strange girl and the mysterious power she represented. In time this group would be called the Council of Watchers. It would learn much about the Slayer. Would even come to control its destiny for over a thousand years before meeting its fiery demise.
Yet not even the Council of Watchers would ever learn all there was to know about the Slayer.
