This is my first Musketeers fanfiction I am working on an enough story as you read this. But It might take a while to put it up. Any how I hope you enjoy this one shot

To the bitter end

"Are you sure you though this though?" asked Athos to d'Artagnan as they sat in a corner of a Traven "being a musketeer is hard work, surely you should go back to Gascony sort things out on the farm"

"They nothing left for me there" said d'Artagnan "My uncle will take over the farm, with my cousin"

"So you're not going back" said Athos a little surprised.

"Me and my uncle don't see eye to eye" said d'Artagnan a little darkly

"Are you sure you want to be a musketeer?" asked Athos changing the subject "It's not as glamorous as you may think. Its lots of work, fighting, blood swear and tears the whole works"

"Sounds lot like farming" said d'Artagnan

Athos paused "Dose farming involved lots of fighting?"

D'Artagnan shrugged "Sometimes"

Athos looked at d'Artagnan like he was trying to see if he was joking or not. "Well you fight well" said Athos giving up trying to find out "Who taught you?"

"My father" said d'Artagnan "He thought it might be useful to learn to defence myself, because he said that the world wasn't a safe place, no matter who we are or were we are"

"True" said Athos "Are you ready to lay your life for the king"

"I'm ready to do the right thing" said d'Artagnan "Do something useful with my life. I will fight to the bitter end if I have too"

"That's a bold thing to say" said Athos

"If I'm going to be a musketeer it's a commitment I have to do it right or not at all. Even if I die fighting, I die fighting for a good cause" said d'Artagnan

Athos nodded "couldn't put it better myself, you know you remind me of myself when I was younger" he said he raised his glass "To the bitter end"

"To the bitter end" said D'Artagnan rising his own glass

Hope you enjoyed :D
