You’ve just arrived in a swampy, dim town. As you look around, your gaze is met with shacks and cabins. It smells of rotted wood and wet moss. You duck and step into a tattered tent, illuminated by a series of candles suspended in the air. At the back of the tent, an old hag raises her head, “What brings you to this dingy town? she begins, then pauses to study your face—”Ah, it’s you. I’ve been expecting you. Sit,” she gestures at a cushion, “Tell me your story.”

((How do you respond?))

"My name is Leomonte." He Proudly States standing with his head cocked high before sitting down, "I am the son of Tartalo, the blacksmith of my village." He says looking the old hag in the eyes. "1 year ago, I was roaming around in the hill outskirts of my village, when suddenly I see the sky shift above and stars began to fall." he says as if he were back in that moment stunned from this sight. "When suddenly a Star fell towards me, whishing directly past me nearly striking me in a flash." the man suddenly begins to laugh before returning to a resting smile. "Upon my sight of this event, I immediately tried ran towards this sight, a true star that i can see directly in front of me, I am sure no man can deny that he would seek the curiosity as well." suddenly the mans eyes go wide, "As I was nearing the site of the falling star, then suddenly a lion appeared on the other side of the hill i was on for the star had claimed its curiosity as well." a mix of fear and bravery lights up the mans face, suddenly rubbing his chest nervously. "The Lion grew angry at the site of me, a man, and roared a fierce sound that could shatter glass. Immediately the lion then meant to pounce on me in an effort to kill me, but I am Leomonte I will never run from a fight and be named craven even against a great beast such as that lion." The man then stands up and takes stance meaning to act out the fight for the old woman. "I took my stance and readied for Lion's pounce, and dodged out the way just in time, for I was slashed on the chest by the lion's sharp claws. Upon my strafe I grabbed the lion and started choking its neck wrapping the lion with my free limbs aiming to restrain him and keep it still as I strangle him." Leomonte laughs and shows the old hag the grip he held on to the lion, "The lion soon died after thrashing around for minutes, tiring himself completely allowing me to kill him finally." "After the fight my wounds were too great to see the location of the Star's fall, regrettably I do wish I could truly see the star." Leomonte showing his scars on his chest and Neck, "I returned to my home with the lion I fought over my shoulder, the other villagers marveled at this sight, but I sought out the village elder for aid on my wounds and wisdom on star I had seen falling from the heavens." Leomonte made marching motions with his arms. "The Elder told me, that the gods have blessed me, with the strength to beat a great lion. She said i must leave my homeland and accomplish great things, as this star has done in leaving the heavens." Leomonte recites while making hand motions in the air above him. "I then came over to this land where my glory can be obtained, all I seek is for the people of this world to sing songs of valor about my renown, to gain massive riches and lands, and build a family that will live on towards the end of time."
