The Insane Knight Pillages a Village part 8

The Insane Knight stared down at Tlod.

“You got your head back?” he asked the undead dwarf.

“Yes, I did,” he said.

“Were you always that ugly?” the Knight asked.

Tlod could tell by The Knight’s expression that he was unhappy that the quest was finally over. Now that Tlod knew who The Insane Knight really was, it made him unhappy as well. He had to think of a quest to keep them occupied.

“Sir, I have to seek revenge on the person who paid to have my head stolen,” Tlod said, “He is a wizard named Ted the Off-White.”

He noticed a hint of recognition in the Knights face at the mention of the wizard, but it vanished after a moment.

“So, we have a new quest?” the Knight asked.

“I guess we do,” Tlod replied.

The Insane Knight grinned his disturbing grin and climbed on the back of the dragon named Horse. Tlod climbed on behind him.

“It feels good to have a new quest, Tlod!” the Knight exclaimed. “I feel like I could go on quests for the rest of my life.”

“Thank the Gods for that,” Tlod replied.
