Giant Among Men
Story by Fazzarya
I was walking along one day when I saw this young Elven Lad go running by, stumbling along as he tried to handle a too heavy sword and keep his helm on at the same time. Quite soon after he sped by me, a series of ghastly creatures called spectres came floating by and I realized they were after the youth. Flute in hand, I proceeded to levitate myself so as to follow them more quickly. Soon I found the young man stuck in a small gulley he had mistaken as an escape route, swinging his sword to keep the undead beings at bay. Fearing his death I unleashed my magics upon the creatures, heavily weaking they soon began to flee, and the Elf began to dispatch them one at a time.
Once finished he turned to me with a cocky grin on his face and said, "Careful M'lady, these beings can be dangerous. I was just about to take them out when you strolled along. Lucky for you they knew me to be the greater threat and left you to your peace. No need to thank me, as I am quite accustomed to performing such deeds of bravery. Just try to be careful in the future."
Stifling my laughter so as to not bruise his tender elven sensibilities I asked him his name and with another sly grin on his face he replied, "Why I am Siryen Soulblayde M'lady, A true Giant among men."
