- Chapter Nineteen -

I managed to convince our assassin friends to let me come with them and wait outside of the dungeon just incase something happened. Of course, Thad and Freya HAD to tag along with Dozer and Gojira.

The nine of us managed to make it to the dungeon in just over an hour while our guilds trained/fucked off on the hunting grounds.

We were in the process of taking out a pack of dire wolves on the path just outside of the entrance when a man came stumbling out of it.

I thought he was stumbling from getting his ass kicked until I heard the singing. It looked like this guy managed to drunkenly sneak his way past every monster leading up to the dungeon. Either that, or he's one lucky mother fucker.

He turned around towards us and froze. I thought it was because he saw but I guess he just forgot the rest of the song he was singing, so he started another tune and turned to walk back towards the entrance.

He was a middle aged Mexican man in red and green armor with a matching katana on his side. He burped AND farted as we approached which I thought you couldn't do in this game. I was apparently wrong.

He heard us approaching and drew his sword.

It was pitiful. The guy tried turning around as fast as he could and fell. Hard. I'm pretty sure he lost some health when he hit the ground because he was out cold.

I approached him slowly as he started to awaken. "You ok, bro?" I asked.

"Yeah mang, ju ok?" He drunkenly asked.

"Am I ok? You're the one passed out on the ground." I replied.

He looked around for a second, then smiled. "Yeahhh, ju right ju right." He said.

I helped him up and the rest of the my party walked over. He introduced himself to everyone, "I'm Jorge. But ju can call me George." He laughed, opened his menu, selected another ale and drank it. All of it.

Freya looked at his screen name floating above his head and said, "It says your name is Cerveza."

Thad, Ronin and I chuckled when she said that. Apparently we were the only other people in the group that new cerveza meant beer in Spanish.

"Awe shit, I forgot." He paused, thought for a moment then continued, "Ju can call me...Cerveza." He laughed again, farted, laughed, then turned to Freya as if frozen in her presence. "Ju are de most beautiful woman…" he burped, "that I have every seen mi amor."

We all looked at her, waiting for a response. She just stood there, stone faced with her arms crossed. Then the smallest of smiles crept across her face and the tension was broke. Thats when we heard another howl.

George seemed to change into a different person. "I got this." He said. He was still stumbling, but it looked like he was determined. Walking back out onto the trail, he pointed his sword at two dire wolves standing 25 yards away. They must have sensed the impending fight because they launched themselves directly at him.

This is where things got stupid. And by stupid, I mean impossible.

George leaned his sword to the right, almost falling over. That also put him in the perfect position to activate a sword skill and deliver a sickening blow to the belly of the first wolf. It fell off to the side and instead of falling with it, Cerveza used the momentum of his previous attack to slice the other wolf across the neck. It all happened within fractions of a second and was almost unbelievable to watch.

He then managed to hit them both at the same time with another sword skill. They howled and vanished into blue shards.

"Holy shit." We said in unison.

He turned around as if nothing just happened, sheathed his sword and wobbled back over to us.

"Ju have to be careful around here mi amor." He said to Freya as he walked up. "But don't worry, George will protect ju." He smiled and gave her a wink.

That, for some reason made Parks and Gojira start laughing uncontrollably which in turn made the rest of us start laughing as well.

Thad grabbed George around the shoulder, still laughing. "You are crazy as hell, but I like you." He said, then went around and introduced us calling our names while pointing at each of us. He stopped on Freya, "And your love over there.." he pointed to her, "..is Freya."
