The Hero of Skill
Once I followed the path to Bloodstone Theresa spoke to me. "The town center is over the next rise." she said as I turned the corner and saw the town.
"Finally." I said, letting out a breath of relief. Toothless barked next to me. I looked down at him and patted Toothless head.
"The largest house in Bloodstone, that'll be Snotlout's. I suggest you go and make the Thief's acquaintance." she said. I looked over at the town and saw a big white house. It was the largest house in Bloodstone.
"No problem." I said heading into town and I made my way to the mansion on the hill.
Once I reached the house the guard at the front stood in front and spoke.
"Hey mate! You got business with Snotlout?" he asked.
"Yes I wish to speak with him." I said.
"He's through the back." the man said. I walked into the house and saw a man with black hair and holding a gun as he modeled for a sculptor who was making a statue of him.
"Well hello there. Always a nice surprise to have company. I don't get many visitors to my little coastal paradise, especially ones who might well redefine a man's concept of paradise." he said.
"Thank you, I think?" I said.
"On the rare occasion that people make it through Wraithmarsh they're lost, confused...scared but not you. You're looking for someone and if you're looking for someone in Bloodstone, let's be honest you're looking for me." he said getting out of his pose and placed his gun in its case attached to his waist.
"But I'm afraid I hate wasting time on nobodies, that's you." he said.
"Excuse me?" I said.
"Tell you what, why don't you go out and rescue some travelers or slay some beast or slay some travelers. The details are unimportant. Prove to me that you're worth dealing with and you'll have my full attention." he said.
"That it?" I asked.
"That's it, tsst, scoot. Off you go. Vamoose. Geh weg! Allez-vous en." he said in different languages. As I left the room and heard Snotlout speak to the sculptor. He began to laugh at first.
"Do you think my buttock looks like that?" he said. I suddenly heard a gun shoot as I left the mansion.
"I hate him already." I said.
"There's nothing for it. We need his help and he wants to play his little game, so you must play it or Drago will soon get what he want. With the Cullis gate inoperable Wraithmarsh cuts you off from the rest of the world. If you need to leave Bloodstone perhaps a sea captain would give you passage." Theresa said. I looked round Bloodstone and then down at Toothless.
"Say bud, what do you say on getting famous around here?" I asked him. He barked at me and wagged his tail. I laughed. "I thought so."
