[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 4872336, member: 16069"] You're fast running out of additional posts... but to put you out of your misery... well, this isn't going to help one bit. Turn 26. “Nobody bothered the Halflings” Fandango turned out to be another of the Pre-Gens that was briefly accepted into the lives of our intrepid adventurers, and just as swiftly booted out again- she may be back, then again, she may not. Hibberd however is here to stay. The Order of Twilight grew from necessity - mages of the shadow, whose sole purpose was to defeat the enemies of the then threatened Halfling tribes. They were purposeful, powerful, and feared by many… including some of the Halflings they were trained to protect. Which may account for the next part of the story. And then they just… disappeared, as swiftly as they formed . . . or so the stories say. Half a millennium flew by, in centuries and during exciting times for the Halflings- decades, nothing much happened. Oh certainly in the big folk’s lands empires were built, humbled, crumbled, sacked, re-built and smashed again. Kings came and went, like the seasons- powerful beasts roamed the land visiting death and destruction to all that stood in their way, which once again, were predominantly the big folk. The Halflings perfected the Seven Sisters, a scone big enough to feed… well, seven. They handed down their victories in battle, their most common foe the fish of the river, which grew bigger by the generation. They made honey, and jam, and preserves, and pickles, and beers, and wines, and spirits, and cigars, and shoes, and… merry. Nobody bothered the Halflings, and the Halflings bothered nobody, and thus was the balance preserved. Even unto this day. Hibberd found the book when she was only twelve, hidden in a small compartment below her mother’s deathbed, the runes on its pages made no sense. They seemed to move about when she tried reading them, confuse the viewer, bringing nothing but eye strain and headaches. But to a Halfling, slight for her race, continually bullied, and with few friends, this link to her mother somehow held her. She persevered, for years, until one day a single word could be read - ‘Twilight’. As time passed Hibberd’s devotion to deciphering the book brought its rewards- slowly though, interminably slowly. As each page has revealed itself to her, her power has multiplied- what started as a doubt has grown to a certainty. There’s something deep inside her, some empty space, some well that she can feel in her head, in her heart and more often in the pit of her stomach- a power to call on, if only she knew the words, all of the words. She knows that she must use this power, grow into it, continue to apply herself, to study the book. For only the first few pages are clear to her, and there is much, much more held within. [/QUOTE]
