The Quest for Appendage Concealers

The Quest

Once upon a time,in the town of three rivers, there lived a valiant, cunning Warrior. Blessed with strength and precision our Warrior was respected by many.
He fought in numerous wars, he lost some, he won many. But today we will not talk about his exploits in the martial art, today we will see how he procured an
exquisite object for his beloved, the Wise Dame. Both of them loved each other immensely and the Warrior would attend to all of the Dame's needs. Thus when
the periodic wane in the fire of the heavens took place and the breeze became biting, the Dame needed to prevent her inner warmth from escaping. This could be done
by her heavy robes, but she needed more.What she needed were Appendage concealers made from the fleece of four stomached four legged chyme eating creatures. But they were not of ubiquitous nature,
for they were only found in the far away town of Clock Post. It was a place where objects , living and non living, of myriad kinds , lived. Rich and poor, good and
bad , believers and non believers , fidels and infidels, traders, smiths, cooks, weavers, gem manipulators, scribes, thieves, murderers, spies all lived here. One could easily
get lost here. Only those who knew their way could survive.
So in the first hour of one fine day our Warrior set out on a journey to the town of Clock Post. He wore his armor and covered ith with thick robes took his weapons and tools and took his leave
from the Dame. The Warrior had a carriage run by elixir made from the rotting corpses of ancient fauna, but he decided to not use his own carriage for journey, as it
was a prized carriage, won after a long unforgiving conquest. Taking it to a foreign unpredictable town would endanger it and hence he chose to drive in another carriage. One pulled
by an undead, black, emaciated corpse for a mere offering of five haematite coins. And the journey began, the corpse pulled the carriage with as much might as he could
muster but he was weak and the carriage moved slowly. The Warrior looked out of his carriage and could see various gentlefolk arriving and leaving to pursue their respective
vocations. The journey was a long one and between the town of three rivers and the town of Clock Post there lay many other small villages. One such village was of the
four stomached four legged chyme eating creatures who gave milk and pulled loads instead of giving fleece and the owners of these creatures. In their abodes made of mud
wood they created goods benefitting many gentlefolk. The creatures who didn't walk upright were an indispensible asset to the upright creatures in this world.
The journey ended after three long hours and he finally reached the town of Clock Post.
The town of Clock Post was a big town centered around the four sides of the Clock Post made by the first counters and smiths. And so the Warrior began his quest,
searching through the town looking for the Appendage Concealers on the shop of every weaver he could find. But he seemed to be out of luck and the weavers seemed to be
out of Appendage Concealers. However, the Warrior came across many new things in this new town, he saw new jewels and bought some for the Dame, he saw delighting meals
made from seeds of grasses and flesh of avians, breads from such seeds and sweetmeats from these seeds and sap of taller grasses. He enjoyed some himself and took some
for the Dame. But the Appendage Concealers were not yet found, and the Warrior wasn't ready to give up. After searching the three corners of the Clock Post he finally came
across a shop on the last corner which had exactly what he needed. But the owner of the shop, bearded dwarf asked for ten coins when the Warrior felt only eight were
necessary. After much negotiation the grumbling dwarf took eight coins and the Warrior left the town on another carriage pulled by another undead corpse back to the
town of three rivers with many presents and of course, the Appendage Concealers for the Dame. He reached home after another long journey to an anxiously waiting Dame.
Having got what she needed and seeing all those presents the Dame was overjoyed and thanked the Warrior with great zeal. The Warrior was happy to see the Dame happy.
Realizing that his efforts in taking care of the Dame were once again successful made him happier.
