Then check out the Vulture Returns, the first tale in the Ten Tasks for the Vulture series of linked fantasy stories.
"They called me 'The Vulture'. Wherever there was a battle in this godforsaken world then I was sure to be there. I had been a soldier in the King's army, but then I became a mercenary, a sword for hire. I followed the smell of blood and I gloried in killing. The money was useful-whores, drink, more weapons-such things must be paid for. But I didn't do it for the money.
"I did it for love.
"I would like to say that this is my story, but I am a modest, and an honest man, so in truth this tale is a window into a world, which is open for a short time before the wind blows it in. You, my gentle reader, are lucky not to pass into the world beyond that window-it would be like coming face to face with evil itself."
For the Vulture a winged messenger is only the beginning of a nightmare that he hoped would never haunt him again. But his past has caught up with him and he must pay for his crimes.
Vulture Returns is the first of a series of short stories entitled Ten Tasks for the Vulture.
