"Unlucky would be an understatement, young one." said Aries. Oh this ought to be good. thought Paul. Nothing says "adventure" like "horrible curses". Aries handed the sword back to his son. "The last one to wield the sword was a US army general. George Patton spearheaded the Allies victory in World War 2, but two months after the war, he was killed in an car accident. Stonewall Jackson, a son of Vulcan, was the Confederacy's greatest general, until he was killed in an incident of friendly fire. Before that, a son of Hades named Napoleon Bonaparte conquered Europe, but died on an island, defeated and alone. Need I go on?"
Paul shook his head. "No need, just get to the point."
