Here's the story of Aicrag
The outs and the ins
Well all stories must have a start
And this is how it begins

Well, he was raised by his sister
Even though he was a teen
But Edaj had other methods
If you get what I mean?

She showed him how to be weary
And the truth of the world
Till his mind was fresh with curiosity
As his thoughts slowly curled

She taught him how to defend himself
And the ways of the sword
Just like her father before her
Which struck a strong cord

He took to her apprenticeship
Without a moments thought
As his potential seemed flawless
Of the likes, that can't be bought

Then finally came the day
He broke free of her alliance
As he calmly strode off into the world
In a show of defiance

With the lessons of his youth
Still fresh in his mind
He continued to press forward
Unsure of what he'd find

Through many fields and forests
And up over the mountains high
He continued on his journey
With the evening drawing nigh

It wasn't till he came face to face
With a vixen named Nerual
Of whose skills with a blade
Made him feel just like a fool

"I hail from the lowlands" she claimed
"From the family, Eleda
And who may i ask is the untrustworthy?
Do I need to re'payta?

"My name is Aicrag" he announced
As he thudded upon his chest
"And you'd be best to remember it
If you know what's best!"


"Don't make me laugh"
She announced, with a cry
You have no idea whom your talking to
Do you seek a wish to die?

"Such insolence" he announced
As he quickly drew out his blade
"It'll be an honor to silence your tongue
For in this ground you'll be laid "

"I don't fear the likes of you"
She bellowed out loud
As she too drew her blade
And stepped forward proud

For I speak for the sun
And the clouds that lay beneath
And it is you, to this ground
That I shall bequeath!

So come now and face me
I grow weary of your prattle
As you spew such falsities out your mouth
Strewn together by raddle

Aicrag did a bow polite
And Nerual did the same
Then both of them made ready
As though it were some sort of game
