The legend of
Udeeria
by liammacleod
Liam was a 20 year old Halfling Dervish monk. A holy warrior healer, Liam was the wisest and kindest creature in the land. He lived on a desolate plain of wishing, where if you walked around and got thirsty all you did was say, “I am thirsty. I wish something to drink”. Then a glass filled to the brim with the liquid you want would appear.One day Liam was walking in the desolate plain of wishing when he got tired and decided to have a nap. A few minutes later, he was awoken by a gruesome monster. The monster had orc-like piggy eyes and oversized arms. “I am the one and only Lord Bob, he grimaced. “I come to find an unlimited stone supply. I heard it was in Udeeria. You look smart young chap. Do you know where to find it in Udeeria?”“Yes, I happen to know.” said Liam. “You have to go east for 20 kilometers”.
Five hours later. Lord Bob returned looking like he got hit by a tornado. “Ah! I remember you!” said Lord Bob. “Well I’ll tell you something there’s a red dragon over there. The dragon said “You look like a little fat man. I’ll eat you for supper.”
Liam laughed “Lots of travelers run into that when they try to get to that place. You have to say a magic word.”
“Rumplestiltskin”, Lord Bob guessed.
“No, that was used 555 years ago.”
“Hocus pocus?” Lord Bob guessed.
“Your hocus pocus seems to be out of focus!” laughed Liam. “I heard the magic word was ‘brood star’.”
Three days later Lord Bob returned covered in scars and green blood gushing, saying, “I told the red dragon the password and he almost killed me. Now I shall avenge you for tricking me”. Lord Bob pulled his sword out of his scabbard and it gleamed in the light.
“I wish there was a wall between us!” whispered Liam. A huge wall of stones appeared between them.
“Alas, ‘wish’ must be the magic word!” thought Lord Bob. “I wish there was an opening in the wall.” Diving through the opening Lord Bob plunged his sword toward Liam again.
“I wish I had a magic shield” said Liam. The shield appeared and blocked the sword.
“I wish for an army of orcs to help me!” yelled Lord Bob.
“You cannot wish for living things!” laughed Liam. “Aha! I wish for an army of war forges!!!!!”
“I wish for your army to disappear.” laughed Lord Bob.
“You cannot wish something to go away.” Liam said, yelling to the war forges to attack.
“I wish for a million flying sticks on fire!” said Lord Bob. The sticks appeared and attacked each war forge making it melt.
“I wish for a million jugs of water to freeze the war forges in their melted positions!” yelled Lord Bob with a grimace.
“I wish for an unmeltable war forge!” said Liam. “Lord Bob, do you surrender yet?”
“Yes, I surrender.” said Lord Bob. “But only if I can have a castle.”
“OK, sure. Yupperoonie. But no attacking the town or my boss war forge will strike. He knows how to hit orcs out of the park.” warned Liam.
That day they saw a huge castle appear on the desolate plains.
