Campfire Tale

[Akrasia 265]

Papir the southern fish king that resides within Un'Satum sits by the large pyre within the temple. Gathering the many servants and those around to tell a recent tale of a hunt.

 

"Gather around all- I have a story to tell! One of valor and great sacrifice!" he exclaim to all who will listen. "Not too long ago my friends, I embarked on a hunt with out very own war-chiefs, and a handful of other residents. We trekked into our own backyard, the heat almost unbearable to some extent. But we persisted anyways! We crossed the river, the pull of the current strong to some, but no match for us! I helped the goblin kid up onto my shoulders as we crossed to insure they didn't get swept away by rouge tides." he pauses for dramatic effect, his hands moving around as he speaks to make it more interesting. "Once we crossed, I loaded my bow as I heard the beat of a million wings upon the horizon. A dark cloud began to shift towards us as Kho screamed for its attention. The rest of us, readied ourselves for battle." his expression shifts to a serious demeanor, as his voice gains a more weighted tone. "I aimed my bow at the cloud of insects and fired, it hit a few but the holes in their defenses patched themselves up like liquid taking shape of a container. I then ditched the bow for my battle axe- I began to swing at the cloud as it engulfed us. But to no avail, the others did what they could to fend them off along side me. But they continued to bite and tear at our flesh. I had no choice but to use my body naturally... I began to crush them all with my weight. My bloodlust at a high as my friends were helplessly getting attacked! It all went red for me.. when I awoke from my rage.. the lotus were dead, hundreds of corpses laid around us.. the sound of those wings ceased." he looks to all around him. Of course all of them in obvious shock to his story. Papir stands and exits the temple... for dramatic effect.

Warchief Plank nods in approval of the story as he heard Papir tell it onto the lands.
