+ | |Content=so this was the home of the seeping giant. A tree of massive proportions created by the wolf god of life. He had been steeped in meditation for several weeks stopping only long enough to eat and sleep when needed. For weeks and weeks he waited for some sign. Something from the wolf god letting him know that he has been noticed and found worthy of the wolf gods attention. | ||
+ | |||
+ | he had almost given up hope. Nearly abandoned his quest before it was started. But just as any hope was about to be lost and he began to pack his belongings their was a rustling in the massive trees above him. From high in the tree a small object came spireling downward at an alarming speed. In just a mere moments time a small object buried itself halfway into the ground right at his feet. Looking down at the object it resembled an acorn of abnormally large size. | ||
+ | |||
+ | When Tyler reaches his hand down to grab the acorn assuming it a sign from the wolf god, the acorn sank into the ground until it could no longer be seen. | ||
+ | |||
+ | There was a tremor at his feet. At first he thought his legs were going weak however the trembling turned to a violent shaking. The ground around his feet was being displaced. From the ground shot out several thick long roots. These roots would entwine with one another. The roots would try to wrap their way around the legs of Tyler. However he would quickly use one of the roots growing from the ground as a spring board using the unnatural speed and force of the roots to propel him into a front roll. Tyler turned around expecting whatever these things were to be chasing him however what he saw was much worse. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The roots continue to entertained seemingly unconcerned with his quick escape. More and more roots erupted from the ground and very quickly the roots began to take shape. Before long the twisting roots resembled a wolf. And a very large one at that. The head of the wolf stood a foot taller then him and the beast could have easily weighted over a thousand pounds. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The wolf let out menacing howl. And stares defiantly at Tyler. For a moment he feels fear creeping into his body. The urge to flee was nearly irresistible. But he would not back down. This was his test. The wolf only allows those who are strong to survive. And if you truly wanted his blessing you would need to be stronger then most. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Tyler removes the sunlight dagger from his sheathe the light of the setting sun shining from the blade like a beacon for just a moment as it leaves his sheathe. His thrice blessed shield comforted him as the weight of it settles on his arm. | ||
+ | |||
+ | for just a moment the monsterous root wolf and Tyler the mere adventurer stared at each other in defiance. And then the battle begins. | ||
+ | In mere seconds the wolf closed the distance between them catching Tyler nearly completely off guard. The wolfs jaws clamped down on where Tyler's head had been mere moments ago. Luckily in place of Tyler's skull was his shield. Any normal shield would have crumpled like useless paper but his shield held strong and the beasts jaws crunched against the top and bottom of the shield. With Tyler's hand stretched above his head to stop the wolfs attack their was a brief stalemate as the beast tried in vein to crush his precious shield. Tyler took advantage of the distraction and sliced at the beats legs with his free arm gashing the beast causing it to let out a menacing howl that caused his ears to ring violently. As the beast let go of the shield to let out it's cry of pain Tyler used his now free shield arm to smash the beasts face causing the wolfs head to dip down in pain. In a one fluid motion Tyler brought his dagger from his intial slash at the beasts legs into an upward slash catching the wolfs drooping head with a deep slash from mouth to the forehead right between where the beasts eyes would have been. He then brought the dagger back down in the same motion to burry the dagger square in the beasts forehead. Tyler was flung sideways as the wolf shook his head with such force that Tyler let go of his dagger now buried in the beats forehead like some brutal horn. This sent Tyler flying sideways right next to the beast. Now unarmed Tyler scrambled to his feet using the wolfs pain as a distraction | ||
+ | |||
+ | Tyler would leap onto the side of the wolf using the many thick roots as handholds and begins climbing to the top of the beast. It would be the only place safe from the beasts snapping jaws. The beast would thrash and howl and smash against the great seeping giant and any other rocks or trees to shake off the adventurer upon his back. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Tyler's body had been smashed against tree as he attempted his climb to the top of the beast the impact smashed in his armor now he was being slowly impaled by his own armor. He will need to end this fast if he wishes to survive. | ||
+ | |||
+ | AFter finally making it to the top of the beast Tyler finally finds what he's looking for a weakness. In-between the roots of the beast he could see a glowing pulsating object beating rythmically like a heart. He did the only thing he could and began to reach his hand toward this oddity it was a tight fit trying to squeeze his hand between the roots that made up this monsters body. And the beast made it all the harder as it seems to thrash and wail without end. He was close but his pinky finger stopped him from reaching the final distance between the roots and the strange glowing object. So gritting his teeth he did what he had to. | ||
+ | |||
+ | With a sickening crack tyler forced his pinky to bend much farther sideways then any finger should. But with this last bit of room he grasped the strange pulsating light and crushed it in his fists. | ||
+ | |||
+ | And then there was silence. The roots dissolve back into the ground almost as fast as they appeared. In mere moments he is alone with the seeping giant once again. His blade is on the ground not far from him. In the distance a single long howl can be heard. He had passed the wolf gods challenge. His gift would be life. That and the now crushed acorn he held in his closed fist. With a smile on his lips Tyler passed out from exhaustion where he lay. His wounds were painful but not life threatening and could wait to be tended to for now he must rest. | ||

+ | I have done as you asked I have made a pilgrimage to the seeping giant. There I meditated for several weeks seeking the wolf god of life and his guidance. As I was about to give up hope I was attacked by wolf made of roots. It stood a foot taller then I and was very nearly the death of me. I can only assume this was a test of mettle to see if I deserved the life I was blessed with. However I live and the beast is vanquished. Since the encounter I feel like something has changed.. though what I cannot yet be sure. I would like to come discuss this with you in person if you have the time. | ||

+ | |Content=Balin was sitting down in a large wooden chair, listening to his advisers drone on about the problems the city of Vatrona is facing. He had been sitting there listening for over an hour and a headache was beginning to work it's way around his temples. He had only been appointed Margrave of Vatrona a day past and already the requests were flooding in, every one of them seemingly critical to some aspect of the economy, defense, or whatever else these advisors deemed important. | ||
+ | |||
+ | "The outer walls must have more banners. Gold must be immediately diverted towards.." | ||
+ | |||
+ | "The zoo only has 10 types of bunnies on display. We simply MUST acquire.." | ||
+ | |||
+ | Balin slowly rubbed his temples, as his thoughts drifted away to images of large trees, clear springs, birds chirping... and a great white wolf with deep red eyes starring intently at him. He startled back into awareness and quickly looked around. His heart was beating fast, yet nothing had changed in the room. The advisors kept on droning and yet.. what had that been? | ||
+ | |||
+ | Understanding came upon him as a warm blanket in the winter and he knew what the first order of business must be. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Balin stood up, quieting his advisors. | ||
+ | |||
+ | "As your new Margrave, I have decided what our first project shall be. We shall build a new temple dedicated to the Wolf Lord in the center of the city, in the middle of the great park of Vatrona. It shall be made of stone and logs, and banners of white wolves shall adorn its walls. " Balin turned towards the third advisor with a wolfish grin on his face " And perhaps some bunnies can be kept there too, as a snack for any wondering wolves that happen by". | ||
+ | |||
+ | He quickly scurried the advisors out of the room to carry out his order. A new temple construction in Vatrona would begin that very day. His headache had gone away too. This was turning to be a good day afterall. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Elsewhere, on a hill overlooking the city of Vatrona, birds chirped happily as they bounced from tree to tree. Had the birds looks down, they would have seen a large white wolf with red eyes watching the city intently, then turn around, teeth barred in what seemed to be a satisfied grin if wolves could grin, and vanish into the deep forest. | ||
