The Tale of Lonewolf & the Golem……
Late one night, after many had gone to their slumber, some of the Defenders of Darkstone gathered at the tavern & prepared them selves for battle. They had heard news of power crystals being found on the mighty creatures, the golems, and decided they should investigate further. Ladro checked his arrows & the tightness of his bow. Ka Null & Fender polished their trusty blades. Lonewolf, Mr T & Synergy all checked their supply of fresh reagents.
When all was ready, they set forth to the golem encampment. There were many golems there, under the watchful eye of their Controllers. With some coordinated cross healing, it did not take long for the Defenders to clear the area of the lumbering foe & their minders.
In the quiet stillness that followed, Fender showed his great discovery to his companions. He had found an elusive power crystal on one of the slain golems. The gathered Defenders looked in awe at the beauty of this shimmering, purple hued crystal. It had been rumored that Golems could fashioned by competent Tinkers, so Fender set off to summon his old friend Rex, a craftsman by trade, to see if it was indeed true.
Rex surveyed the situation, all the while taking shooting glances over his shoulder. He didn’t say anything, but fear shone brightly in his eyes. He was a craftsman, not a fighter. The knot in his stomach, told him he shouldn’t be so close to the generator & its spawn. He quickly set to work, gathering items from the ground & rummaging through his pack. He kept referring back to the notes he had made on how to construct these huge beasts, but in his wildest dreams, he did not think it would be possible.
The Defenders looked about & upon seeing that the area was quiet, they all took the chance to let their guard down, to take a well-deserved break. They stood & watched Rex at work. (This is when Lonewolf decided to go make a coffee in real life) Rex worked feverishly with the components in his pack and then all of a sudden, to the amazement of the onlookers, a Golem appeared beside Rex. A cheer rang out & Rex was congratulated on his achievement. Rex looked very pleased with himself indeed !!!
Lonewolf had taken the opportunity, to close his eyes & rest. He had not been sleeping well lately. So there, still in the saddle atop Wild, his trusty steed, Lone sat snoring loudly in the in the pale moonlight. The others smiled & elbowed each other, as they looked towards the sleeping mage. That’s when the ‘plan’ was hatched. *Insert evil music here*
Rex instructed Gully the Golem ‘guard’ Lonewolf and the Defenders all hid themselves, chuckling to themselves at thought of what might follow. Lone didn’t disappoint them. Upon waking from his nap, he sensed the lumbering presence behind his right shoulder; & spun about to look Gully straight in the chest. He looked upwards, and when his eyes met Gully’s full height, he shot a look right & left, saw he was ‘alone’. A look of panic ensued & he gave Wild a mighty slap on the rump & the pair set off at great speed, seeking to flee this ‘golem’ & his concussive blows.
Now Gully, despite having no brain, remembered that his task was to guard Lonewolf. He set off after Lonewolf, also at surprisingly great speed, to diligently guard him. When Lone looked over his shoulder & saw the ‘’golem’ still hurtling towards him, his ‘flight’ instinct stopped & his ‘flee’ instinct took hold & he recalled away to safety. (I know it’s unbelievable, but he didn’t end up at the Balron room for a change. lol)
Lone was summoned back to meet his companions. As the others hid, Synergy cast a gate to bring Lone from the Tavern, and swiftly cast invisibility on herself. Lone came thru the gate, face to face with Gully & alone !!!!. His face went pale, & beads of sweat instantly dotted his brow. The flight instinct took hold once again as Lone slapped Wild & took off at top speed, weaving in & out of the trees & shrubs. Of course, Gully was hot on his heels. *Maniacal laughter * The hidden ones could not contain their laughter anymore and so were all revealed to Lone, who stopped in his tracks upon seeing them. His face changed from fear, to puzzlement. Between fits of laughter, the gathered Defenders told him of Rex’s feat in creating Gully & how they had hatched the plan to ‘get’ the sleeping mage. Lonewolf shook his fist at them and said, “I wasn’t running away from him, I was using tactics!” This made the Defenders roar with laughter until tears filled their eyes.
So then & there, it was decided that Lonewolf had earned a new title. That of, the Darkstone Jester. To which, Lonewolf removed his austere black cloak to reveal a jester suit, complete with matching hat. So tis hereby proclaimed, that Lonewolf is the Darkstone Jester.
THE END
An Alternative title for this tale……..
