The Only Company: Prologue

       I walk alone...but I don't want to walk alone anymore. As I walk down the road to nowhere I silently think to myself "How could this happen to me...I just want it to end". I have been searching for someone...anyone...that can help me. I just wish for the company of another person. Nobody has ever come towards me. Whether out of fear or pity I do not know. I now stay away from civilized places such as cities or towns, hunting and cooking my own food. I do not know why I am a repellent to civilization...I just want...friends. I walk down the road I think to myself, "If I could wish for one thing in the world...I would wish for company. Someone to walk with me, someone to laugh with me, someone to acknowledge my presence in this cruel world". It was then when a small group of people walked up behind me. I turned my head and they said, "We're here to teach you a lesson!". I didn't bother replying. I quickly drew my mace and bashed the leader's head in. He fell with a dull thud. The other two quickly drew their weapons but not before I smashed one of their heads in. The last one charged me. I side-stepped him and crushed his back with a hard swing of my mace. I looked at the damage I have wreaked and sheathed my mace. It was then I realized I did not want other's company. "The only company I need", I thought, "Is the company of myself".
