------- STORIES ------- For your entertainment, ladies and gentlemen of Thera, the Heralds have assembled a few amusing tales you help you pass the time! Of a Turtle Just the other day I was traipsing the shores of the River Azial when I stumbled over a small mound of sand. It would not have warranted a second glance, as I am inordinately clumsy at times (learning the fly spell from Korvoduin was one of the best things that ever happened to me), except for the fact that my toe hurt afterwards and I got briefly angry at the innocuous looking pile. Well, upon further inspection, I found that I had not in fact bruised on sand - there were some strange leathery round things buried in there. Since I am by nature rather curious, I dug one out and shook it. It made a squeak, which made me drop it instantly, upon which the thing suddenly began rolling around. After a few moments of what looked like excruciating struggle, the thing split to reveal a small, slimy baby turtle. It wiggled its flippers at me, half stuck inside the eggshell, which I helped to extricate it from with a ginger toe. When it noticed that I was wiggling a toe at it from mid-air, it gave me the most ridiculous goggly stare, and then flip-hopped its way rapidly into the river. Luckily for the turtle, it was born knowing how to swim (unlike me). I saw its little green back float away between the foam-tipped waves and wished it a fond farewell as I continued on my way. By Applicant Triffilina Of an Apple Tree Twas several years ago I was a seed, back then rain and light was all my need. Dropped there upon the ground, a new life I had found. The summers came and went by so quick, before long, my trunk grew thick. At my roots, lovers did bed, and wounded, resting warriors had bled. With these hopes, dreams, and tears my roots were fed. And now my tale is said, for all my children hang about my head, soon to leave for this, I grieve, and in my shade, strumming his lute, this bard doth sit, and eat my fruit. By Applicant Wylez |
