Our hero assembled in his mind all of the items which would best serve
him on his quest and his thoughts rested on the mythic Staff of Fyrus and
when the chest was opened the plain wooden staff lay inside. You know the
myth boy, the chest freely spoke, the staff may only be used by a traveller,
may only be possessed but by a journeyman and if you accept the power of
the staff then you must accept a life of perpetual movement, never to stay
in the same place for longer than a fortnight as I understand it. Yes,
says our hero, I know. And you accept this fate? The restlessness? It's
not too late, you must strike the staff on the ground 3 times to release
the power and make the staff your own, the chest spoke on and our hero
knew it was not so unusual, what magic can do, and that what the chest
said was true. I will bargain with the staff. Oh? with a staff? the chest
replied. With my will I will bargain. I will strike the staff on the ground
3 times and thus inherit this fate if the staff will allow me a final appointment.
With whom? My responsibilities. I meant to summon a powerful weapon for
my quest. I did not mean to request the position. The Traveller. The Swift
Blade of Balance. The Staff of Fyrus and the stories of it's power! The
sand that remains of the boulders of Titus. It's connection at one end
to the wind and heavens the other to the water and fire of the earth. What
do you do?
-
 Strike it 3 times and will
it into a bargain to finish the quest.
-
Hide it behind the chest and move on from this place.
-
Strike it 3 times and quest be damned.
Go Back
