The sun hung in the middle of the cloudless sky, watching the barren earth like an unblinking eye. The day was hot, cooking anything foolish enough to walk into the open landscape. And there was one who rode in this open land of rock and dirt, though calling him foolish would net you a bullet between the eyes. He was a grim man, with long, dark, and curley hair; he dressed like an undertaker and smelled like rotting carcas. For all intents and purposesm he was the Devil. His horse, a black, sullen beast, that hadn't had a good drink in quite some time. A third figure traveled with the two, though, only if you considered being dragged by a rope traveling. Presently, the rider stopped the horse and dismounted, taking out a blade as he did. He cut the rope tied to the wrists of the man on the ground, and said in the voice of a snake,"You're a free man now boy, now go home and learn some respect." The man struggled to answer,"You shit, you think you can rob the town and get away with no reppurcussions?" He cooly responds,"Of course not, though consider yourself lucky, you could be dead." "You ass! You dragged me out here for your sick kicks!" "Now don't be like that, I am a mercy filled man, rather than shoot you dead right here, I'm giving you the option to walk away alive, after all civilization is 50 miles west of here." With that he took a drink of water, hopped back onto the horse, and rode of into the horizan, leaving the man to his fate.

Three days later wanted posters popped up all over the county, offering $50,000 for the head of "The Devil", displaying his face since now they had its description. Rumors began to spread that he had been seen in the town of Santa Anna, renting a room out in the local saloon.
