"So you've chosen me?" asked Blanko calmly after a wolf broke his door with a resounding crash. The sound permeated through the village and echoed off the cascading mountains. No one would come to help him. In fact, they would sleep easier knowing that they weren't the target. In the morning, everyone would awaken and pretend to be astonished someone had died in the night. It was a game Blanko had grown weary of.
"I don't blame you," Blanko spoke from the side of the bed where he was sitting, "It would be nice to be released from this hell."
The wolf cocked it's head to the side and quieted its snarls. Apparently, it had expected to be met with screams and panic. Blanko's unusual reaction must have sparked a bit of curiosity in the beast. It started panting and sat back on its haunches.
"I do not envy you either. Cursed to kill your family and friends. I wonder, do you even know what you are?" Blanko mused aloud and offered a friendly hand to the creature. The beast accepted and Blanko touched his killer.
"You feel so soft," he said as he scratched behind the wolf's ear. It was clearly enjoying itself, but Blanko held no illusions of his fate. After a moment or two more, he withdrew his hand and stood. the wolf followed Blanko with its eyes.
"Do what you've come to do, Beast. I am ready."
The wolf obliged and made quick work of Blanko. When it was done, it happily trotted out of Blanko's hovel. Quite happily.
