`` Gather around children, let me tell you a tale of the Warrior's son.'' 
 
 Once, not that long ago, there was a mighty and brave warrior. He bested both dragons and kings. He carried nothing more than his sword, charging into battle with the ferocity of a mighty boar. 
 
 However, this is not the story of this great man. This is the story of his son. The great warrior loved many women, but one was to bear his child. The warrior continued to fight onward, returning to the mother of his child, bringing trophies from his might exploits. He would return with the skulls of fallen legends, chests filled with dwarven gold, and piles of jewels the likes of which the woman had never seen before. He was a successful warrior. 
 
 The child was born a son, and the great warrior swelled with pride. A son to carry on his tradition. Years passed by, and as the sone grew with time, the father tried his best to train the boy. He would learn to use his father's sword, practicing against the scarecrows of his village. 
 
 Then, at the age of seven, the father knew it was time to send his soon-to-be great son into his first real fight. He brought the boy to the mouth of a wolves den and told him. `` Return to me with the pelt of the mother wolf, but leave the pups alive.'' 
 
 The young boy swallowed his fear, and walked into the dank, odorous den. As his eyes adjusted, he could hear the yelps and yaps of the wolf pup, playing under their mother's watchful eyes. Then, deep within the cave he hear a gravely growl. 
 
 The boy stepped forward, his sword raised in the air, ready for battle. Before he could bring down his first swing, the mother wolf has the boy's throat in her jaws. She bit down, slamming the boy's back to the ground. 
 
 Soon, the boy was nothing more than food for the pups. 
 
 The warrior waited outside the cave, hoping for his son to return, but he never did. Because only a freaking idiot sends a seven year old into a cave to fight a pissed off wolf.
