Mythica: A Quest for Heroes Page #2

---

I want a chance at a bounty. I do magic.

Ohhh!

Why didn't you say so? A magician!

Well! I had no idea!

And all this time I've been payin'

court to a real fyekin' magician!

- Now get out before my temper's...

- Ahh!

In the name of the goddess, Anisette,

I demand audience with Orin Tuck!

- Fyekin' women tonight!

- You are Orin Tuck?

Hammerhead's what they be callin' me now.

I am Teela, of the order of

Anisette, sent to plead your help.

Orcs raided my temple, two nights past

and my people were slain, or taken by foul beasts.

I seek heroes to win their freedom.

Have you any gold?

I... have some. 200 silver.

That's not gold.

Please, you and your kind were friends

to the order, in times of old.

Times of old are olden times, now.

And those heroes lie shriveled, in the dirt.

I've no use for causes!

And neither does any man here, today.

They have my sister!

Does any lad here want to

help save this lass's sister,

who was kidnapped by a band or marauding Orcs?

The pay is 200 silver pieces.

There's the door.

I suggest you use it.

If I just fyekin' saw who I think I fyekin' saw...

she better be here to sell herself as a whore!

I will take that bounty!

I'm forming a team.

Any of you are welcome to join my team.

I... bring the skill... of magic.

Careful, she has magic!

Wait!

You need help.

In there... I-I heard you. You nee...

you need help.

I require seasoned adventurers... heroes, even.

Not young girls.

I have a team!

You have a limp.

No one else will help you.

Hammerhead said it.

The mission is too dangerous and...

you have too little to pay.

And you... you do not fear it?

No.

- Should I?

- Yes.

200 silver pieces... full sum upon completion.

It will be dangerous.

But with a care, a man just might survive it.

You won't regret it.

- I very much doubt that.

- Give me until fourth watch.

We meet at the stone circle, at dawn.

I know you.

You're that slave girl that

got me thrown into this cage.

Marek.

That pimp has some influential

friends in my regiment.

I'm here to free you.

All I need is for you to swear an oath to me.

Why not?

I need a swordsman, for a bounty.

Join me and we'll win it together.

You're joking!

You're not joking.

Long ago, I swore an oath, to the Vitalian Empire.

That oath, took me across the

world, and into this cage.

I'm done with oaths.

I saw you in the alley. You... you're a brave man.

- I wouldn't go that far.

- No more masters, no magistrates!

We-we'll create our own destinies.

And what would those destinies

hold for us, little varmint?

A life with dignity.

Well, friend... for a life of dignity...

Oh, God.

Oh, here come the guards! Maybe

one of them has the key!
