"Sinbad thank goodness you're here." King Dymas says.
"You must have quite the monster problem." I bow my head in respect.
"He's been causing chaos all over my kingdom. He's been tearing up farms and devouring livestock." King Dymas says.
I nod.
"Definitely some kind of giant." I say.
"With your experience, we can surely bring him down." King Dymas says.
I look out the window.
"When does it come out?" I ask.
"Not even the wisest of my officers can give me a straight answer. It comes out whenever it pleases." King Dymas says.
"Hmh." I mutter.
"Father please, he's exhausted. Let's not bore him with our monster troubles now." Proteus says.
"Look Proteus, this monster has to be killed soon." King Dymas says.
"I know, but he's here now." Proteus says.
"Very well. Tomorrow Sinbad, you have to get to work." King Dymas says.
I nod. He walks off. I turn back to Proteus. He hands me a glass of wine.
"To your return." Proteus raises his glass.
"And the destruction of the monster." I say.
We click our glasses. I chug my down. Then I turn.
"What's the matter?" Proteus asks me.
"Nothing. I'm fine." I say.
