"That's great, Raiden. I'm Dengoro Tana. ...And I might not be totally a warrior but I'm certainly not anything else." A great many pieces of Dengoro had been torn away in the last few years. Reflecting on this, he forgot all about finding a third chair. "My old life is gone anyway."

At least you HAD a life to leave... I was fated to be a warrior the moment I was born... Clan from the Borderlands... We still believe in Gods, Goddesses, prophecies, and all that stuff...

"Great. I haven't been here for a day and I feel in over my head. I'm probably gonna get killed in the first encounter I'm involved with... So much for all that practice I did while my dad was out being drunk." Dejected, Dengoro placed a paw on his forehead and rested his elbow on the table. This was just giving him a headache. "I surrender."

Most beasts that talk to me just feel that way... Heck, I wnet through about a hlaf-dozen battles without any real training, and I'm still here... You'll be fine Dengoro...

"If I don't fall to the sword, the bottle or my own will, life will be great." Dengoro stared intently at the floor. He didn't have much better to do. "Not much of a reason for me to be here, except as fodder that nobody needs. I can't even try and prove myself to my dad anymore, what with him being dead and all."

MY father was the reason I fled my home... After I left, he became a tyrant... A tyrant I stopped. I lost something that day... where three stood that day against my father, I was the only one who walked out alive. I lost my little brother and sister... I pretty much lost my sanity too. I did dark and terrible things for three years... I'm still trying to repend for them even now, nearly twnety years on...

"You know, that's great. I've led a completely useless life and I guess I'm gonna keep doing that. I have no goals, no ambitions, no ideals... Just my day ahead of me. Doesn't that sound like a really good way to die?" Dengoro's headache only increased in magnitude as he spoke. "Nobody really cares anyway. Nobody deserves to."

Less of that now... I'M the one with nothing to live for. I'm not gonna let you die before I do. You stick with me Dengoro... I'll show you the ropes, and I'll keep you safe and alive... Deal?

"I'm not lacking in ropes. I'm lacking in the will to put said ropes to good use. I haven't got a single reason why. Not even myself, yes. Obviously, your comment about you being the only one to have nothing to live for was... Very inaccurate indeed. I'd chug that ale right now but I'd rather go out sober."

I'm abstaining from heavy drinking... All I have are friends, my wife, and my two kids...

"And you tell me that you have nothing to live for." Dengoro pushed his chair back and stood up. "I'm outta here."

Wait... Hear me out... I may have two kids and a wife, but I know full well I won't live to see my kids grow up. I was dead before I was born... Nothing to live for except an eternity of war.

"Congratulations! Your life won't amount to anything, join the club, bye now." Enraged by... Something, he was unsure of what, and with all of his emotions that had been pent up releasing a sample of their bitterness now, Dengoro headed for the door. Anywhere was better than there.

Your opinion of that will change, Dengoro... Don't turn out like I have...

"Turn out like what? Your fate may have been written in stone but mine was just cut off. Nothing left. Better go die in a battle now." Dengoro slammed the door shut behind him and stumbled off into the alley behind the tavern, getting that feeling that this couldn't be happening. His life was done with and he had no reason to object.
