The Maelstrom at the Peak - by Elobo

People often ask why the Grizzly and Titanian can coexist on Mt. Itoi. They are both such powerful creatures, yet there is little conflict. This old scroll recounts a local legend: It seems the champions of the Grizzlies and the champion of the Titanians both desired the lush, green peaks of the mountain for their. They met each other and could not come to terms - compromise was impossible. So they began to fight. The immense power of the grizzly and impenetrable defense of the Titanian. The intensity of their battle killed the plants around them and drove the other animals away. But still they fought. Ageless trees were shattered to stumps. But still the battle raged on for a full month. Finally, they came at each other with their desperate te techniques. The Bear’s Last Blow and the Titanian’s Stone of Origin. They died in each others arms, realizing then how worthy the other was. As their forms crumbled, their spirits lingered to see to the slow regrowth of the mountain and the fellowship of their kind.

Elobo	A Century of Blood	Some folks have asked me why the people of Spookane will not look at the Rosemary Mansion during a nighttime windstorm. We found this in some dusty archives, and it recounts the Shroudley. "The most notorious mass murderer of our times was a Rosemary. His immaculate white robes were stained crimson as he delighted in the bloodletting of countless people. After taking countless lives, he was finally lynched in his house on the hill. But his profane soul was condemned to the vile dwelling in his hereafter, never free to roam. Unless, that is, he could lock eyes with another and single them out. This allowed him to manifest in their quarters for that night only. His tortured wailing in the wind would cause the people of the town never to look at the roof of that mansion in the night for over one hundred years. And though he comes infrequently and the tradition holds fast... there is always new blood on his hands."	5/12/09
Elobo	Stone of Original Sin	Students have approached me and asked why Gargoyles and Rockgoyles are so different. This scroll illustrates a local legend. Both Rockgoyle and Gargoyle were hewn from the Stone of Origin. But the Rockgoyle chose to stay near the Stone taking its power inwards, while the Gargoyle chose to journey from the stone, bringing its power outwards. As such, the Rockgoyle became like stone - cold, stoic, sedentary, and steadfast in its abilities. The Gargoyle became like magma - burning with terrible power, aggressive, and able to bring the influence of the Stone of Origin new places. One cannot exist without the other. Both cut from the same earth.	5/12/09

The time you have to enjoy zombiedom is numbered.	4/26/09
