Fake Title: The Emo and his Prince
Virgil lived his life in an acre of land. He wouldn’t want to leave even if he could. He had everything he needed, a small garden for food, clothes that were delivered every three months, books that mysteriously showed up on the bookshelf when he got bored. He didn’t need any more than that, and he certainly didn’t want to risk the dangers of the outside world.
Well, it was too bad the outside world was more than willing to come to him.
Virgil’s pretty certain that the man who lands in his garden is a thief. The warrior and mage that stumble in after him end up a little hard to reason away. Virgil decides locking himself in his basement is a reasonable response to their appearance. The snake that turns into a man down there earns a very justified scream and frying pan to the face.
The four of them explain that they were on a mission to rescue the king from the warlock that enchanted him and the kingdom. The same one that had locked Virgil up for unknown reasons. The thief seems pretty certain that Virgil is the key to this whole mess. They take him along.
Virgil figures he’d resent this “rescue” a bit more if they were all a little less pretty.
