rukafais: Two more from the overdue November pack. Ancient“In times long past, two mortal enemies faced each other in a duel to the death. Despite the great disparity in their size, they were ever on equal footing, and their clash was one of titanic proportions. Warring tirelessly without end, their combat took them into the skies and across the lands, until at last they crashed into the deep ice at the end of the world and sunk together, still fighting with one another. Legends say that their final battle still continues to this day; they are still together, each trying to finish the other, deep under the ice. Though what they were fighting for, how they felt, what they thought…all of those things are lost to the march of time. Some whisper that perhaps they still fight because they are the only two in all the world who can possibly understand each other any longer.”Mage“A tireless maintenance worker and his equally uncompromising companion. An old creation of a wizardly city, his work is to survey and maintain the arrays and systems that keep the marauding winters outside at bay. His task is made more complicated by the fact that the most recent inhabitants of the city whose barriers he maintains have little idea he exists, and many of his companions have since fallen silent from overwork or need of repair, turning the task of many into the task of one. Perhaps someday soon he, too, will fall silent, and then woe betide those who still live here when the first storms descend…but until then, he will work without complaint.” -- source link
