In the vast and chaotic Principality of Werton, traveled a human named Ricky: of average height, semi-robust but agile, wavy blond hair and a light suit that aided his fluency. A skilled swordsman who loved to travel from nation to nation, earning a living by accepting assignments from all over the world, ranging from simply delivering goods to having to kill people of equal importance as a person and skilled in combat.
His nickname was the weeping hero.
His experience and skill in combat was also characterized by his character side, where brain and heart met and decided the fate of the actions and procedures that needed to be performed in specific situations.
One day Ricky, while going through a dense forest to accomplish a mission, encountered the group of rebels he was looking for.
As Ricky confronted 4 of these bandits, cutting off their arms, breaking their heads with simple punches, he saw one of them touching a simple little girl. The weeping hero was overcome by an intense feeling of fear, and, detaching himself in less than a couple of seconds from a bandit he was beating, he launched himself directly to protect that little girl; he broke the skull and cut off the head of the one who was bothering her. Ricky, through it all, was crying.

Ricky continued his journey, and with it, his daily quests as well; also meeting nice elders with whom he could converse. One of them became particularly fond of him. This old man's name was Eldor, and he ran a small establishment in a small town of Werton, a fairly quiet area.
Ricky was there to kill and settle a bounty placed by Eldor. This, referred to a strange animal: a bull-like beast with a strange mane that went from head to torso, blond, about the size of 2 cariole and as tall as a normal human.
The monster was called Sanabo, a name that was not exactly common and did not convey much fear, but its appearance and face reiterated this concept: evil was in its eyes. Ricky, imbued with courage and respect for the animal and the curious mission he was facing, hurled himself straight at Sanabo, who was meanwhile charging an attack with his masterful white horns. The hero dodged the bull at the last hair and, in response to its charge, hurled a slash at it that cut off the monster's head.Distracted by the blood on his face, a swift being hurled itself at the bull's head, stealing the trophy Richy had to obtain to redeem the quest. His face whitened in anger: the elder tried to utter a word toward the hero, but the latter pushed him, and he stormed away, enraged. He uprooted an entire oak tree, which brought shade to Eldor's small place.
From there on, he paid close attention to what he was killing and keeping an eye on his trophies. That episode, it was not to happen again.
