Returning from crusade against orcs, I was going through dark forest when I met strange lady.
I saluted her: "Good evening, beautiful lady."
She answered: "Please don't hurt me!"
This made me wonder, because I had no bad intentions.
Suddenly, she started to threaten me! "I'll turn you into a toad!".
But I am no common adventurer and within a short time I had invoked my usual protective spells, drew my sword and waited. She attacked mercilessly, but I was prepared. She wasn't a warrior, but a sorceress...and I must admit a good one. The fight lasted quite a long spell, but in the end I prevailed.
When she realized her life was forfeit, she began to beg for mercy: "Please don't hurt me! Don't you love me anymore?" She really didn't know, who stood against her. I was determined to show no mercy and have slain her. Her last dying moments were quick.

Finally I began to search her corpse. Hmmm... she had nice amount of gold, couple of gems... but what is this? Some deed named 'Mercenary Contract'. I didn't know what to do with it so I went to the nearest mage shop.
I asked my friend within: "What is this deed for?"
"It is a contract" he said, "which is filled by a servant for a master. Often it is a sign that servant owes his master a lifetime debt."
He advised me to apply it, and he magically found an author of this deed for me. So I went to Brittain tavern and I finally got my fellow squire. We travel together from this time on - he is quite happy that I am his master now, because he hated that screaming woman.

It is rumored that there is a well known warrior titled as Dragonslayer, who kept in touch with that lady. Some people even say that he was her lover, so he sometimes carries these deeds too, but even the Dragonslayer won't give it to you without fight!
