TAKE FIVE
Next up is Tegism Imizilta from Adreluto. He likes to keep abrest of all the latest chin music. The latest news of Ithritemoth being swallowed whole was so incredible that he had to investigate himself. Due to his shortage of wisdom, he makes the overnight trip alone and ill-equiped.
During the night he is beset by bogeymen. He begins fleeing and is slowly out-pacing them. A couple more jump out behind some trees in front of him. A poor buzzard wanders into these ambushing bogeymen and is torn to pieces. But this gives Tegism time to slip away. From there he is able to elude his pursuers until daybreak.
Upon arriving at Ithritemoth, everything seems to be in order. Perhaps the rumors were just that. He wanders around abit but finds nothing amiss. So he stays the night with some locals. The next morning he decides to head to the north side of town.
As he heads north, he hears a terrible crashing behind him. A large cloud of dust whooshes past. Perhaps the rumors are true after all! He turns around and ascends the hill he'd just come off of.
Sure enough, the ground riddled with pitfalls. It looks much like swiss cheese at this point. Then a freezes in terror. He had been walking over that ground just moments before. While he fears his luck won't hold out, he simply must investigate further. For the sake of his own curiosity at least.
He creeps up to the edge of a few of the pits, but they are much too steep for him to climb in. So he decides to continue north. Just a few dozen steps beyond the point where he heard the last crash, he is surprised again. Where he had been walking on ground, now his is walking on air. Too bad his luck didn't hold out.
An enourmous hole opens up in the ground, with him right in the middle. Down he falls, slamming into the floor of the pit and blowing apart. Poor Tegism. At least now there will be rumors about him.
