They were the ones to give zim the name 'Uno' as if it were the most clever naming of all time.Uno learned pretty early on not to reveal zis true intelligence: it made the Humans very nervous, and after a few beatings by kids ze started carrying a spiked club. It was protective in two ways: the actual damage it could do and the fact it made Uno look "dumb". Ze figured that more people weren't afraid mainly be cause ze stood only about waist-high to a typical Human.There was something wrong with Humans, though. It wasn't something that the other species of Ta worried about: their Age was over. Uno heard it in hushed whispers and, at first, thought it was the typical doomsday rumors Humans always went on about when the rain didn't come or came too much or some other perfectly natural thing happened.But then came the Aquillan Empire. Aarakocras, Gnolls, Lizardfolk, and others. The tiny community wasn't up to a fight, but the Aquillans weren't here to destroy. In fact, the army mostly stayed outside of town except one. He looked almost like a Human, but had a beak and talon-like feet."Good people of Arvalain, I am Erik. You have all heard the rumors, and I am here to tell you it is true: the Age of Humans is over and the Age of Wonder is beginning. There will be changes whether you will or nill it, but they do not have to be random. You do not have to suffer. We can guide you through them. As you can see, I am already changing. We make no demands of you, but if you wish us to help you, send a representative so long as we camp. We shall leave when the Rose Moon is full once more."He turned and headed out, and the villagers began chattering again. Would they all transform as Erik was? Was he lying? Could anything stop it? But Uno hardly paid attention. A new Age was starting, and ze wanted a place in it. Joining the Aquillans seemed like an excellent way to start.Ze left the Humans, still debating, and followed Erik to the Aquillan camp. Ze never looked back.</blockquote>
