As the three travelers waited they split up. They all went to a different area of the outer court. Tyger decided to visit the fish market. He had no money so he was begging. The people saw this plump creature and laughed. "How about you eat yourself tubby!" This angered Tyger, so he killed the men who kicked dirt in his face. He used their money to buy a bunch of fish. Potato went to the clothing stores and flirted with all teh hotties. One of them gave him a kiss and said "Mmmmm I just love cheese." Then, with no warning, she bit off his cheese covered leg! "Mah leg! My leg!" Potato screamed before he remembered he could grow it back.(He has a terrible memory) he also bought armor for him and his friends. COWPIE didn't screw around like the other two. He found some tools for repair and constructions of weapons. He also got his claymore professionally sharpened and reinforced. He was sure it could now wound a dragon. As he was on his way back to the gate to the court of the ninjas he noticed a very suspicious man walking through the crowd directly towards an odd looking man. The odd looking man had a very strange set of cloths on. It was a shirt with a split down the middle, held together by small disk shaped objects sewn into one side. The man heading towards him pulled out a dagger and screamed " PORCH YOU!" The man in odd apparel dodged the first swipe of the dagger, but had no weapon of his own. COWPIE and the other bystanders were mesmerized by the agility of the odd man. Sometimes he appeared to be struck, only for the blade to slide past him. He was eventually knocked down, in spite of his agility. Just as the daggers blade was about to plant itself in the skull of the man, he was splattered with blood. He opened his eyes and saw a large blade sticking out of his attackers chest. The attacker fell off the sword and landed with a loud thud in the silent courtyard. COWPIE helped the odd young man to his feet and introduced himself. "I AM A BIG COWPIE, BUT YOU CAN JUST CALL ME COWPIE." The man was startled, but was still able to speak. "I am Officer Nasty, thank you for saving my life. Let me know if there is any way I can repay you." "I AM ON MY WAY TO THE COURT OF HIGH KING DEEJ TO ASK FOR PERMISSION TO HUNT THE DRAGON AND HIS WEIRDO WIFE. ANY HELP WOULD BE WELCOME." "It just so happens that I was on my way to do the same thing. We can hunt together." And then there were four. Just then they heard the voice of Lord Achronos. "The meeting of the high king and ninjas is over. COWPIE and company is welcome in the court of the great Deej." To be continued.......
