The frog in the fog
Cheddric stepped forward in a brave manner.
“I offer this,” he declared, holding it high, “a wheel of well-aged Mousefield cheese — fit for a creature of discerning taste and whimsical power.”
The cheesy aroma mingled with his words, hanging heavy in the air like destiny.
“By blade and bravery, I shall retrieve the legendary relic!” proclaimed Cheddric.
Back in the village of Mousefield, he trained in fencing with nothing more than an old umbrella. But how could one become a true master swordsman without the proper weapon?
Today’s quest: to seek a relic of epic craftsmanship — a sword forged by an elusive artisan.
With only a dinghy and a firefly lantern, he paddled deep into the Foggy Marshes of Whimsy. The water lilies whispered secrets, and an eerie croaking echoed through the mist like an enchantment. The very air shimmered with mystery. With a gentle shake, Cheddric’s firefly lantern glowed brighter, the swirling lights within scattering the dense fog like dawn chasing away the darkness.
“A foe!” he thought. “A siren song!”
Then — plop — a ripple. Two golden eyes appeared on the surface.
Drawing his umbrella-sword (his faithful training blade from Mousefield), Cheddric braced for battle. But instead of a monster, he found Grok, a frog no larger than a teacup, hammering away at a tiny anvil beside a riverstone forge. Grok looked up with a slow blink and a smirk.
