One fight envolved twenty men swinging their swords at the other men, cutting off some part of their body. It was a good fight but, in the end, all the men died. That didn't help Talpa any so he went on walking around looking for other fights. He walked around what seemed like hours. He saw many good fights but, none of them impressed him all that much.
After a few minutes of walking around the bloody village, he decided that the warriors he was looking for was not at this one, so he teleported to another village. At this village there was not that many people.
"I know that I am not going to find anyone here. All the guys look like they are inches away from death. But maybe I will get lucky and actually find a decent warrior." said Talpa, looking up at the sky and saw that is was beginning to get dark.
He started walking and looking for any sign of a warrior, but had no luck. He was beginning to walk to a vancant area to teleport back to his castle, when five men came galloping on horses into the village. Three of the men where somewhat old but the other two were fairly young. Talpa decided to stay for a little while longer and watch the five men.
The five men got off their horses tied them up and walked to a small house to have a few drinks. They all were about to walk in the house, when a man out of nowhere knocked the shit out of one of the men that had long, wavy, white hair and an eye patch over his left eye.
They were rolling around on the ground until the white hair man reared back and punched the guy that attacked him. The man flew back and landed a few feet away holding his hands over a bloody nose. The white hair man got up and dusted himself off and walked over to the nose bleeding guy. He bent down to wear his face was inches away from the other man's. He whispered something that Talpa could not hear. The guy with the bloody nose nodded his head, got up and ran away into the now dark night.
The white hair man got up and said a few words to the other four men, watched them go inside and then walked away from the house.
"Well that was interesting." Thought Talpa. "I think I will follow that guy for a while. Then maybe see what else he has other than punching real hard."
Talpa then began to follow the white hair man. Talpa followed the guy for a few minutes.
"I wonder where he is going." Talpa thought to himself while watching the man turn a corner.
Talpa was about to turn the same corner, when a fist came out of the darkness heading towards his face. He managed to dodge it pretty easily. Talpa stepped back while watching the white hair man step out of the darkness and into the light. They stared at each other for a few moments.
"Why are you following me?" asked the white hair man.
He is aware of his surroundings. That is a good sign. Talpa thought smiling.
When the man did not get an answer, he got real frustrated. "Who in the hell are you and why are you following me? And you better answer me unless you want your face bashed in." Talpa laughed at this. "My name is Lord Talpa, I am following you to see if you are the warrior I have been searching for, and I would like to see you try to bash my head in."
They stood there looking at each other for a long time before the white hair man broke the silence. "I don't have time to mess with you."
He turned and started to walk off when Talpa made his sword appear and put it up to the man's neck making him freeze.
"I don't appreciate it when people turn their backs to me. Now what is your name before I slice your throat." said the angry Talpa.
The white hair man turned around. "My name is Dais. Now get your sword away from my throat before I kill you."
Fire shot through Talpa's eyes. "I would really like to see you try to kill me." Talpa said putting down his sword.
Dais smiled and threw himself at Talpa throwing a series of punches and kicks. Each time Talpa dodged them and threw a few punches and kicks in himself. Minutes went by. Talpa finally stopped after kicking Dais ass. He was quite surprised too that Dais managed to get in a few good hits.
Blood trickled down the side of Talpa's mouth where Dais had managed to punch him. He wiped the blood off on his shirt and looked down at the unconscious Dais laying on the ground.
"I got to admit, if he could punch me and actually make me bleed, he might be a pretty damn good warrior. He just has to learn a few rules and then he will do well." Talpa grinned and leaned down and touched Dais's arm to teleport them back to the castle.
Back at the castle, Talpa had put Dais in the evil tank along with Cale and was in his bathroom getting undressed to take a nice warm bath. He took off his shirt and unbuttoned his pants when there was a knock on the door.
"Damn it. This better be good." Talpa buttoned his pants and walked to the door and opened it to see Beruman standing there.
"What do you want Beruman?" asked Talpa.
Beruman stood there for a moment without answering. "I... I just wanted to see if you were okay, since I haven't seen you in almost two days."
Talpa rolled his eyes. "I am fine, Beruman. Is that all you wanted to ask me?"
Beruman looked down at the ground knowing that he made Talpa mad. "Yes, sir. I will be going now." He turned around and started walking down the hall.
Talpa shook his head as he walked back into his bedroom. He kicked off his shoes before he walked back into his bathroom. Unbuttoning his pants again and pulling them off, he threw them on the floor. He climbed into the tub and let the water come up to his neck. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath and let it out slowly, relaxing every muscle in his body.
"It has been a long and tiring day." yawned Talpa. A few seconds later, he was sound asleep.
Talpa woke when he heard a big explosion. He jumped out of the tub, grabbed a towel, wrapped around himself and ran out of his room. He ran down the hall and ran into Beruman, who was running towards Talpa's room.
"What the hell happened?" Talpa asked the shaken Beruman.
"The... the prisoners. They. They. They..." Beruman pointed down the hall.
Talpa started to run down there to see what happened. When he got there, he seen that the prisoners blew up the dungeon to pieces and were fighting each other.
"What the hell is going on here!?!" Talpa yelled as he stood there looking at the blown up dungeon.
The two warriors stood frozen solid as they watched the half naked Talpa look around the completely destroyed room.
"Don't make me ask again." Talpa yelledthis time looking at both of the warriors. "What the hell happened?"
The two warriors didn't actually know what happened. All they remembered was that they were in this reddish orange liquid that made electricity go through them. Then they felt a surge of power go through them and then they saw each other for the first time and they started fighting.
"I... We don't really know what happened." said Cale who had his hands around the other's neck.
"We just had a surge of power go through us and we started to fight." said Dais.
Talpa just stared at them. "What do you mean you just started fighting? How did you manage to destroy this room?" Talpa said walking over to both of them and pushing them up against the wall by their throats.
Gasping for breath, they were able to squeak out,"When we started fighting,... there was... a f..flash of light... an...and every...thing grew w...w...white. That's all w...we can re...member."
Talpa glared at both of them, then slowly let them go. Both fell to the ground gasping for air. Talpa thought for a moment.
"Did either one of you change clothes or anything?" asked Talpa.
Cale and Dais looked up at Talpa then at each other.
"No." They both said together.
"Hummm. Okay then, do either of you remember what happened yesterday or earlier today?"
Cale and Dais thought real hard for a moment.
"I don't remember anything." said Dais after a while.
"I don't either." said Cale looking up at Talpa.
"Why? What happened?" They asked.
Talpa smiled, knowing that their memories were erased. "Nothing happened. Just wanted to know. Now, get up both of you." said Talpa.
They did as they were told, they got up and was soon grabbed by Talpa and was teleported to another dungeon.
They both stood there with 'what in the hell happened' expression on their faces.
"Get up against the wall." said Talpa pointing toward the wall with chains attached to it. They hesitated at first, but they slowly did what they were told. Talpa chained them up and made sure that they were out of arms reach of each other.
"Both of you will stay here until I am done with finding two more warriors. Oh and also try not to blow anything up." Talpa turned and walked toward the door.
Before closing and locking it, he looked back at them to make sure they were not trying to kill each other. Seeing that they were not, he shut and locked the door. He leaned against the wall and sighed.
"I can't believe they blew up the dungeon. At least I know they are stronger now and they don't know anything about their pasts." He began walking back to his room to put on some clothes and go to bed.
"Well all I have to do now is find two more warriors and break them in, after I make another evil tank. This time I will make sure it is stronger so nobody can blow it up." He sighed again as he reached his room.
He went to his bathroom to unplug the tub, remembering that he did not unplug it. He went back to his bedroom yawning. He started to get a pair of underpants, but decided that he was to tired to hunt for a pair. So he went to his bed, threw off his towel and crawled in bed and was soon fast alseep.
