Okay, so I've been digging around my old ThinkPad laptop and found some old creative writing exercises from back in the day. This is one that I like, enjoy!

January 27, 2004-Fighting the Fame

Being a Chandler, Jaife had lost many things: friends, family, even his left eye. A Toraz Dragon took it as a token of their arrangement. He’s had to tell so many different stories to travelers and vagabonds who ask him about it. Sometimes he tells them he lost it in bar fight, other times it was a succubus that stole it. He has to tell people stories like that so the Toraz can keep their anonymity. The ones that ask about his eye are usually the ones who discredit his legendary status as a great fighter.
“How can you fight? You only have one eye, you couldn’t even sharpen your blade, let alone fight an entire band of Cyclops like they say.”
That was when Jaife would take his sword and throw it toward the nearest target, whether it was living or not. The skeptics always got the point, but some got more of the point than others.
