Attack the town! Legend of the Dragon King is born!

King. That's the name Val gave you. Because you were going to become the King of Monsters. A Dragon above all others. Running for your life and just fighting adventurers here and there wasn't going to cut it. You had to show the world that you were strong enough to a threat. That you could conquer and destroy! Val was right. It was time to spread your story, to let your legend grow.

You give two more Lord's Calls and watch as more earth, wind, and fire dragons appear. All of them are weaker than you, but you now have a small army that could wipe out a small army. Your MP was practically drained, but now you had the numbers to do a lot of damage and fight off multiple heroes. You start to head for the burning town, but Val calls to you and tosses you a potion.

"This will let your MP regenerate a little faster. Its a Mana Rejuvenation potion. I'm out of the normal Mana Healing potions right now. I used up my last two while running from Guile."

Guile, that must have been the obsessed ex-boyfriend Hunter she was talking about. You drink the potion and notice that your MP is beginning to refill. It is a slow process, but you now at least have some hope of having more special abilities open to you before the end of the battle.

You nod in thanks and begin marching towards Oscar's Den with your small ****. Some of the Heroes have already noticed your approach and your original front line of dragons were currently engaging them.

"Val, give me some speed!"

"Rodger!"

She has put away her instrument in favor of the crossbow and begins to sing, letting that carry her ability instead of her instrument. The magic flows over you and boosts your power. You move quickly, easily making it to the battle. One of your flame dragons was about to be cut down, but your new blade sliced easily through the Elven Knight. You feel the experience flow into you, but ignore it to turn quickly. You bring your blade downward in a slashing motion that launches a shockwave, throwing two more adventurers away. Your minions set upon them and they are ripped to shreds. You get a trickle of XP from that, but still not enough to increase your level. Your intervention has allowed the initial wave of Heroes to scatter and retreat into the burning town. Your companions follow your lead and you march into battle.

The fight is brutal. Heroes charge and fall as your dragons unleash their elemental abilities. Fire, fed by wind, spreads quickly. Many are burnt to a crisp while many more falls to your sword or their claws. Throughout the battle, Val switches songs, at times aiding you, and other times aiding your monster army. You push through, killing many with easy and even as your XP grows and you feel your body gain power from another level up, you keep fighting.

It seems as if the battle will be completely in your favor, until from the burning wreckage of the tavern, a shape appears. It belongs to a beautiful woman in bright silver armor. She carries a spear in one hand and a silver buckler in the other. Her silver hair dances behind her in the wind as she levels her spear at you.

"You lead this attack?"

"Aye," You say, readying your sword for combat.

"Then I would challenge you to honorable combat. You and me. No tricks, no help, no abilities. Simply your skill against mine. Weapon abilities allowed of course."

You look the woman over. She is beautiful. Long, flowing silver hair. Gray eyes, set in a face that could turn entrance a man easily. Her body was slender, and her C cups were held in a beautiful silver breastplate. Some of her long legs were visible between her knee high silver boots and the bottom of her leather shorts. You recognize her as a high level Hero. A White Lancer. Holy magic, combined with the skills obtained from the Lancer class made this a powerful class for fighting demons and high level monsters. She is deadly and beautiful. But you hear Val gasp behind you.

"King! That's Tania the Valkyrie! She's a well known solo player that normally hunts in the Vilhast mountains to the north! What is she doing here?"

Tania smirks, but ignores your companion. "Well "King," do you accept my offer?"

"What are the stakes?"

"If I win, I take your head of course."

"And if I win?"

"How about I'll do anything you say, provided you don't kill me. But it is only for one request."

You look around, thinking. Your minions were mopping up the rest of the NPCs and Heroes. This was too close to a starting city, not enough high level heroes. Tania was the only challenge left. But if you fought her and lost... But running away wouldn't help build your legend. If anything, it would build her's. You make your decision and answer.
