This time I read a short story by one of my favorite others,Michael Scott.But this time I read something a little different,this was a short story that i got on my kindle a few weeks ago since it's a Ebook exclusive.The book is called Billy the Kid and the Vampyres of Vegas. Although it's snot as long I would prefer a book to be it did tell me some things about some of the characters in the series.It focused on the characters that remain in the shadows of the story but they are the ones you wonder most about,since they have the most interesting stories.This focused on an event that passed between the characters Billy the Kid and Scatach the Shadow.
Billy the Kid was introduced in the fourth book,The Necromancer. To me he was impulsive,feisty,willful,and either mad or just overly alert.But there wasn't much about him revealed in the series other than that he became immortal at a young age and is full of surprises.But inside the short story I got to learned some things about his past and his relationship with the "enemy",and I was shocked at what I learned.It turns out that he has a relationship with Scatach,who was probably the most dangerous fighter in the world(s).I don't know if what happened in the short story will affect choices inside the story but I do hope so.
Scatach the Shadow,The worlds first female warrior in the world and the most dangerous warrior in the universe.Turns out she had a few adventures with the infamous Billy the Kid,and what transpired between them must remain secret.Scatach,normally like the greek god Artemis and never taking a single man was contacted by an old flame that she believed long dead.Scatach is someone who goes solo into danger,to me she is overconfident in her abilities because of her solitude.She surprised me when she let Billy accompany her on her mission and even more that she hadn't killed him.
"Keep your friends close,and your enemies closer"
A famous quote commenly used,but what if your friend is actually you enemy then what do you do then.
This short story showed me some of the secrets of the immortal human and the next generation,which has helped me understand some things in the story more than I had before.I can't really recommend getting the book because it's rather hard to get.I also learned the usefulness to read these short stories because of what they can tell you.
