Vladek, although dashing in his armor, the man was quite the coward in battle. The King thought no better punishment than to put him to shame-publicly.
The King punished Vladek for his cowardry, chaining him to a wall and letting the commoners do what they wanted to do to him, mainly beating him and throwing food at poor Vladek. Vladek was punished from morning to night. At nightfall, Vladek was released.
The first thing Vladek does is go to the bar, hoping to drink away his problems. Throughout his time in the bar, he thought only of a way to get revenge on his King. But he didn't know where to start. Until he met the Dark One...
Vladek walked outside of the bar, the time being past midnight. He swaggered left and right after drinking much too much. He bumped into a man wearing all black, his face could not be seen.
"Hey! Watch it!!" screamed Vladek.
"You're upset. I can see you want revenge...I can see it glimmer in your eyes...your heart..." whispered the Dark One.
"Wh-What did you say?"
"You want revenge, don't you lad? I can help you..."
"You can help? How so?" said Vladek with curiosity in his eyes.
"More precisely, my Queen, Queen Galainir will help you. We will help you get your revenge...Though this comes with a price..."
Vladek looked at the Dark One, waiting to hear what he had to say.
The Dark One said, "Your arm along with your youth...I know it sounds pricey but you see, the Queen is not fully ready if you understand what I mean...By giving up the two, we will grant you immense power-magic to be more precise."
Vladek started to get the idea that he can beat the King with new powers. "I'll do it!" he said, a little too fast.
"However, I cannot grant the powers today. I need the payment on the other hand. I must revive Queen Galainir. You'll see me very soon, VERY soon." Before Vladek had a chance to reject, the Dark One took away Vladek's arm and youth.
"Agghhh!!!" screamed Vladek. The process was done.
"How do I know I'll see you again?"
"Queen Galainir never goes back on her words..."
And with that, the Dark One vanished within the shadows.
To be continued...
Yes, I know it's kinda short and fast-paced, but I found building the scenes to be very exciting!
Not sure if I'm a great storyteller. But I'm also wondering, does this count as one of my freebuilds? Thanks for reading! 
Also, critiques are welcome!
