"I'm mean and tired. I break vainglory seekers and make them spit out regrets. So don't try me. I'm trying to get some actual rest now that I'm retired." -- Anon Guest
The trouble with being the best is all the egotistical neophytes trying to boost their way to the top of the mountain by besting the best. Which is tremendously annoying when that best person in question is trying to enjoy their retirement.
Hasryk the Kingslayer had learned this after a long career of defeating tyrants and helping better rulers take command. He had hoped to retire into obscurity on a small, self-sufficient farm on the outskirts of a village in the middle of nowhere. Hope was such a frail and fragile thing. Hasryk got to enjoy retirement for one week after moving in when the first braggart found him.
"So, the mighty kingslayer has come to this," would soon become fighting words.
