Chapter 1

"Red Lotus, take out the man by the tents. He's got no armor on, so it'll be easy. We'll engage the others when you've done so..." Bryhart whispered to a young, dark skinned boy. Red Lotus nodded, stepping away from their hiding spot behind the trees and going by the bushes. He was the lightest of the group, so stealth was simple for him. He hid in some shrubbery, right below to where the bandit's heels were. There were about six more of them in the camp, all of whom were lethargic and unknowing of what was to come. 

The only sound the man could hear was Red Lotus taking his sword out of his scabbard, yet he had no time to react. Red Lotus stabbed him right through his back, pulling it cleanly out afterwards. "CHARGE!!" Bryhart screamed at the top of his lungs. In a moment's notice, eight other men leaped out with their weapons and attacked the camp. Unlike Red Lotus, they were all overweight and hefty, with fat peeking out of their armor.

The bandits scrambled to grab their axes and swords, giving the group even more time to take out each and everyone of them. Red Lotus attempted to take out more of them, although the other mercenaries did the job for him. "It's done...Lardvard, collect the bounty from The Ingram Emperor, and be back by sundown. Everyone else, we'll set up camp here. The hard part has been done for us!" Bryhart announced before laughing with a heavy voice. 

The group was the Glutton Mercenaries, a team of gainers who killed high target people and groups for the Ingram Emperor. Despite the Emperor's known hatred for all-things-fat, he was tolerant towards them because of their competent work. It was now sundown, and the group was eating a bowl of boar stew and leftover ale. Red Lotus was eaten the fastest out of all of them, contrasting his size. "Red Lotus, slow down. We didn't get to our sizes in a single night." Bryhart told him. He was in his thirties, with a groomed beard and black hair. 

Red Lotus rolled his eyes at Bryhart and set the bowl aside. "It's Lucian, we're not on a job right now; and I know that, but I can still eat how I please..." Lucian was seventeen, and nearing adulthood was making him strive deeply for independence and choices. Bryhart raised his hand to argue, but was interrupted when Lardvard came to the camp on horseback. Just like Lucian, he used an alter-ego for their mercenary work, and his real name was Thomas. "Here, everyone gets a share of two-hundred gold!"
