The Traveler

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 9981

Lots42 decided that he needed some help on his quest. So he set out to the village of Gotham to find some companions.

After a while, Lots reached Gotham. It was night, and mists were rising. The full moon shone in the sky, giving everything a menacing air. Lots shuddered.

He walked toward a building that, judging from all the noise coming from it, was the local pub. A pub is always a good place to look for companions.

Then, Lots bumped into someone. "Sorry," said Lots, and then saw who it was. It was a man, wearing robes that obscured his featured. He was carrying a staff that gave off light and was engraved in arcane runes. Lots noticed that all around him, people were stepping away from the man, and whispering "The lunatic's got him."

Lots shuddered. "Who--who are you?" he asked, nervously.

"I," said the man in a deep and ancient voice, a voice that bespoke centuries of wisdom, "am Brian Griffith, the one they call The Traveller. I am he who reads the stream of Destiny and Time."

"Oh, it's just you, Brian," said Lots, relieved. "You scared the crap out of me." A look of consternation came over Lots's face. "Say, you don't usually allow yourself to be written into episodes like this. What's going on?"

The Traveller merely shrugged, or that was as far as Lots could make out from under his robes. "A time of Destiny is coming. The armies of Light and Darkness shall clash once more. You shall be pivotal in that struggle. Here. Take this." He handed Lots a strange, ornately carved medallion. "Guard it with your life, for it contains great power. But beware. For the Forces of Darkness shall dog your every step." And with that, the Traveller vanished as mysteriously as he had appeared.

~~Huh,~~ thought Lots. ~~That sure was strange.~~ He regarded the medallion the Traveler had given him. It was gold, with an emerald in its center. It was carved with runes of the same sort that were on the Traveler's staff. ~~What the heck am I going to do with this?~~

  1. Lots puts on the medallion.
  2. Lots shrugs and throws the medallion on the path.
  3. Lots eats the medallion.
