In all the years that I've lived I've gone to many places and experienced many things... But to this day I can't think of a single moment that was as harrowing as the first time I met the strange mammals that look like beasts but walk like men. They were everywhere, filling the streets and alleyways, doing... Unspeakable things whenever my back was turned. I couldn't understand what it was all about. I found a single lone human in the midst of all the madness, a strange and lonely man who simply called himself "Manpuncher, the Puncher of Men." I was a simple taskservant at the time and not a proper wizard, so I knew that I would have to rely on that one rational creature for protection. You might ask, "why didn't I simply fly away?" And I do not actually have an answer to that question. Maybe I was simply attached to the human and didn't want to leave him behind until the last moment? In hindsight, this is probably the least likely explanation of all.
