". . .Who are you?"
The gruesome man grinned, "Harrith, aspiring scientist about to take the world by storm!"
Travis was unfamiliar with that name, "Scientist? What are you studying?"
"The Twelve swords of legend of course. Specifically the Lower Eight."
"So that's why you kidnapped me? To obtain my sword?"
Harrith frowned, "No! That would be pointless! Instead I kidnapped you for you! A wielder of the Lower Eight!"
"Me? What do you want me for?"
"Now that's a proper question~! First we need to dive into my rich history."
Harrith coughed, "As a young boy I went through many a hardship, as my father was a dwarf and my mother a human. When I was born I was immediately outcast, the proud dwarves shamed me for being only a half one. The humans unwilling to accept a hybrid."
