Hello, dear reader, hello indeed...
Tis a gorgeous morn, I presume?
Hmmm?
Ohohoho!
Indeed!
Even so, sunnier than before...
Yes...
My...
You must find yourself quite satisfied, I imagine...
For...
Indeed...
Tis to my ears that your very struggles have been noticed...
And of your current situation...
Indeed...
I find myself quite pleased...
Yes...
Why...
I do believe it shan't belong...
Before you shall have no trouble...
Running along with your friends...
Among the very fields of plenty and flowers...
Yes...
Hmmm?
Hard to find?
Why...
Do tell...
Of what sort of work do you come from?
Hmmm?
I see...
Tis a strange land, I must say...
Why...
The very idea...
Buildings as tall...
Nay...
Even so, ...
Taller than many a castle...
And of that...
You say...
The very humanity has...
How you say...
Subdued the entirety of the fauna?
Hmmm...
Why...
I must say...
You must find yourself quite proud...
Yes...
Hmmm?
Oh...
Indeed...
For...
Even so, as the very many things of man do exist...
Dare I say...
Tis a great thing...
For man to conquer...
Yes...
Even so, ...
Greater...
For man to conquer and to teach...
Yes...
To teach and to grow...
Tis of mine own opinion...
Yes...
And of it...
Indeed...
Tis a thing to be proud of...
Hmmm?
Why...
Tis as you said...
For...
Indeed...
The very men and women of your world...
Have indeed learned of many a thing...
Why...
Thereof...
Do now the very people of your world..
Find themselves above the very things that once upon a time ruled them...
Yes...
Tis so, dear reader...
Tis so...
Yes...
Why...
Dare I say...
Twould be best...
To conquer even more...
Indeed...
Well...
I suppose the very many things of such do need even so more to speak of...
Yes...
However...
Worry not...
I shall make a note to speak of this...
Yes...
And thereof...
Indeed...
I shall continue...
Yes...
For...
Indeed...
Did I once fail to mention it...
Dear reader?
The very thing...
Yes...
Twas the very thing...
Indeed...
Twas the very one responsible...
Yes...
Twas the eight Hessengers...
Even of...
Twas the very leader of them all...
Why...
Twas as I did say...
Indeed...
Twas a night as no other...
Yes...
For even the night...
Even so, would the night...
Fail to say it could have foretold this...
Yes...
Tis as I said...
Every story starts somewhere...
Even so...
Sometimes...
With a story of its own...
Indeed...
And of that...
Yes...
I shall...
Hmmm?
Oh dear?
Why...
You flatter me, dear reader...
Oh...
Thank you for asking...
Why...
Tis a glorious morn as it is ever...
Yes...
Twould do me wrong to complain, I would believe...
For...
The sun finds itself ever so gloriously shining...
Why...
If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.
The very winds blow kindly...
Even so, do the birds sing songs of joy and tranquility...
Yes...
Tis the very world we find ourselves in...
Hmmm?
My world...
Why...
Tis the very world of this tale...
Hmmm?
Where I find myself...
Why...
Tis as I said earlier...
Indeed...
Twould take many a chapter to fully elucidate upon my current location...
Yes...
Hmmm?
We?
Oh...
Oh yes...
Why...
I did indeed say that...
Hmmm?
Who do I find myself with, upon this glorious morn?
Why...
Tis Jake Phyr...
Yes...
Tis the very lad...
Hmmm?
What are we doing?
Where are we?
Who else is here?
What is my relationship with the young lad?
Oh dear...
Quite a many questions...
However...
Indeed...
Twould take far too much time dear reader...
Indeed...
Far too much time to explain the very tale...
Why...
Tis true...
The very explanation would take many a chapter...
Yes...
Hmmm?
A summary...
Hmmm...
Nay...
Tis of no pleasure to me, I would say...
However...
Tis as I would say...
Even so...
Would a very summary..
Create more questions than bring answers...
And, even of...
Indeed...
Twould do the story no respect...
To merely speak of it as so...
Yes...
Hmmm...
Well...
I suppose I may say this...
Tis at the moment the very two of us...
Yes...
I and Jake...
And of it...
Indeed...
Does the very lad find himself fishing...
Yes...
Why...
The very lad enjoys the very taste of fish...
Why....
Hmmm...
Well...
I suppose that tale as well sould require ever so more chapters...
Tis a shame, really...
Hmmm?
Yet another hint?
Merely a short one...
Well...
Who am I to merely say no...
Indeed...
The very two of us do find ourselves quite far from many another...
Indeed...
Tis an island, I may say...
Yes...
And of it...
Why...
Tis a long tale, I must say...
For, indeed...
Did the grand lad and his allies endure much upon this very plane...
Yes...
Twas many a decisive battle, I would say...
Hmmm?
Ohohoho!
Indeed...
Tis also the same for his allies...
Why...
I believeI did mention the very pair...
Yes...
The very pair that indeed are very many a thing to Jake...
Yes...
Even so...
Do the very friends find themselves here...
And of it...
Indeed...
Does the very pair find itself quite glad and well...
Yes...
Tis a grand thing, I may say...
Yes...
Well, I suppose the very tale of this island shall find itself so...
Yes...
For...
Indeed...
Twould be a strange thing...
Yes...
A fully strange thing...
Hmmm...
Nay...
I suppose the very tale of this island shall have to remain with me...
For...
Indeed...
Tis a treacherous place, I would say...
Yes...
Tis a truly treacherous place...
And of it...
Why...
Did the very land threaten to end the lives of my allies...
Why...
Did Jake Phyr soon almost meet his end many a time...
Yes...
The very land itself...
Indeed...
Tis a strange thing indeed...
Even so, had it not been for his allies...
Nay...
Had it not been for him...
Indeed...
Would the very three of them...
Find themselves dead...
Yes...
Hmmm?
Me?
Why...
Twould be so...
That even so as the very three would die...
Twould fail for me to die...
Hmmm?
How so?
Why...
Twould take far too long to get into, dear reader...
Far too long indeed...
Yes...
Am I dead?
Ohohoho!
No no no, dear reader...
No no no...
Well...
I suppose I may merely get along...
Yes...
Hmmm?
You really would like to know who I am...
Why...
Tis a shame, I would say...
Twould take far too long to explain...
Indeed...
Twould take far too long...
Yes...
Am I alive...
Ohohoho!
Of course, dear reader...
Of course...
How I would survive?
Why...
The very tale would take many a chapter to fully tell, dear reader...
Yes...
However...
Indeed...
Fret not...
For the very knowledge of my being...
Shall surely I say...
Find itself known to you...
Yes...
Surely I say...
Hmmm?
When?
Why...
Hmmm...
Well, I must say...
Hmmm...
Twould occur...
Hmmm...
Well, I suppose it shall be not very long, O would say...
For...
Indeed...
Tis many a great thing to this tale...
Truly, I say...
Tis many a great thing...
Yes...
And thereof...
Why...
Does the very knowledge of my being find itself in this tale...
Yes...
Well, dear reader...
Does there remain a question about you?
Hmmm?
Later?
Ohohoho!
I see...
Very well then...
I shall await your questions, yet another time...
Yes...
And of the tale...
Indeed...
I simply must continue...
Yes...
Now then...
Ahem...
Where did I leave the very two of us?
Ah... yes...
Twas of the very destruction...
Nay...
The very wake of destruction...
Left upon the ground...
By the very pair...
Vance and Jon Hessenger...
And of it...
Indeed...
Were there many a Knight...
Nay...
Even so...
Many a villager...
Fallen upon the ground...
Even so, as the very buildings and ground that lay upon them...
Found themselves...
Engulfed in furious flames...
Indeed...
Even as the man by the name of Sir Geldman Morrow...
Held himself at the very front of all his allies...
Staring back at the deafening roar that was his terrifying so...
Truly, I say...
Did the very brothers Hessenger...
Vance: Burn them...
Jon: Yes, Sir...
Dear reader...
I suppose I should ask...
Do recall...
The very reason for which the brothers Hessenger found themselves here...
For...
Indeed...
Had the very pair wrought great harm upon the lands...
Why...
Even so as the younger...
Jon: Incantation: Flaming Stream...
Did indeed continue the assault...
For even then...
Did a vicious stream...
Even so, as the very flowing of water...
Find itself escaping his mouth...
Well, I suppose I shall further elucudate upon the very spell...
Tis a very many of them, I may say...
Why...
Twould seem that the Hessenger clan find themselves most attributed to the spells of the fire element...
And of it...
Why...
Tis not a very strong spell, I would say...
The very spell by the name of Flaming Stream finds itself so...
As though water...
How you say...
Yes...
A stream of water...
Flowing out of the very mouth of a man...
A fascinating preposition, I must say...
Why...
The very spell finds itself among the...
How you say...
Lesser fire spells...
For...
Indeed...
Dear reader...
Know ye of the holding of a blade?
Hmmm?
Why...
I was merely trying to...
How you say...
Fully explain the very matter...
And thereof...
Do tell...
Have you ever once found yourself with a blade upon your hands?
Hmmm?
A cooking knife?
Dear reader...
Do you cook?
Hmmm?
Not very good...
Well now...
Do fail to be shy with me...
For...
Indeed...
Twas not of my knowledge that you bore such a skill...
Why, the very...
Hmmm?
You are serious?
Oh, come now dear reader...
Do fail to be shy about it all...
The very many of the human race...
Why...
Even so among them...
Is it always a good thing to be proud of the very skills you bear...
Yes...
And of it...
Indeed...
Does cooking find itself to be among the very many essential skills of man...
Why...
Even so...
Does mankind perhaps fail to remember...
The very beginning of cooking...
Tis a fascinating thing, I would say...
And of it...
Indeed...
The very beginning of cooking...
And, even so...
The first cook...
Yes...
Twould be a grand tale, I imagine...
Well...
I do suppose I shall merely move along...
However...
Indeed...
Do be proud of yourself, dear reader...
Be proud indeed...
Yes...
Now then, where was I?
Ah... yes...
The very art of holding a blade...
Yes...
Ahem...
Dear reader, have you ever once born notice...
Hmmm...
Nay...
Twould be better to simply speak of our previous conversation...
Yes...
The very one about talents...
For...
Indeed...
Twas there that the very point needed here was made...
Yes...
Hmmm?
Oh, no, no, no...
Not of talents...
Nay...
But of hard work...
For...
Indeed...
Should a man put in effort...
Upon the very mastery of a talent...
Then...
Indeed...
Shall the very talent grow...
Yes...
Tis the same of skills...
Yes...
Even so, of skills of which the modern man may lack a talent there for...
Yes...
Tis merely the sense of the very conversation...
And of it...
Dear reader...
Do tell...
How would you imagine...
A mere novice...
Preparing his knife to cut of meat...
And also, ...
Yes...
An expert thereof...
Hmmm?
Why, of course...
The very thing would find itself quite obvious, I would imagine...
Yes...
However...
Indeed...
Do tell...
Which spell would you imagine...
To fall upon the hands...
Even so, the lips...
Of a mere novice?
Hmm?
Yes...
Indeed...
Tis as the very common...
Nay...
Even so, is it quite obvious...
To any man...
Yes...
And speaking of...
Yes...
Would the very greater spell find itself upon the hands...
Of a greater wizard...
Indeed...
However...
Why...
Tis as a man would say...
For...
Indeed...
Does life at times...
Fail to find itself so simple...
Yes...
The very incantation: Flaming Stream...
Does indeed find itself aming the very lesser of the great spells...
Nay...
Twould even so fail to fall among them...
And of that...
Why...
Does Flaming Stream seem as though a terribly weak spell...
However...
Geldman: Flee, my brothers...
Indeed...
Even so as the very spell was cast...
Even so as the very brothers did flee...
Yes...
Did the stream of fire...
Ever flowing from the younger Hessenger's mouth...
Follow through...
Devastating and scattering them all...
Why...
The very idea...
Twould be a mystery for many a man, I would say...
And so, dear reader...
Tis a query upon which I would like to propose...
And of that...
To you...
Do tell...
For what reason...
Would you imagine...
Would the very spell...
Yes...
And not a very strong one, I might add...
Why...
The very spell does indeed find itself of the lower ranked spells...
Yes...
Even so...
Against a man as well skilled as Sir Geldman Morrow...
Nay...
Even so, against his very brethren...
Indeed...
How so would a single man perform such an act?
Hmmm?
The Knights?
Weak?
Why...
Tis a good answer, I would say...
Seeing as...
Even the very men find themselves fleeing from their foe...
However...
Tis not the very end of things...
Hmmm?
The shinobi-wizard is well skilled?
Well, twould fail to be a lid to merely say so...
However...
Tis not the very end of things, I would say...
Hmmm?
Twas the very right move?
Why...
Indeed...
Twas the very answer, dear reader...
Yes...
Hmmm?
Well, I suppose I may well explain the very much of this incantation...
Yes...
The very incantation, indeed...
Flaming Stream...
Tis a spell handcrafted for the very means of battle...
Tis what one would imagine...
However...
Indeed...
Tis not the very end of things...
Why...
Even so, ...
Would many a wizard in knowledge of the very skill...
Fail to even so, consider using the very spell...
Hmmm?
Why...
The spell does indeed bring water forth from your very lips...
And of water...
Twould mean to be fire...
Yes...
Flames leaping out...
Hmmm?
Fiery breath?
Oh nay...
Twould be yet another incantation...
Yes...
As for the incantation: Flaming Stream...
Why...
Twould be easy to imagine...
For...
Even so as the very spell finds itself so easy to learn...
Indeed...
Even so as the very powrer behind it finds itself...
Well...
I suppose something of an explanation remains necessary...
Ahem...
Dear reader, even so as you have before cooked...
Hmmm?
Oh no no...
Do fail to be shy thereof...
Ahem...
Even so as you cook...
Do recall...
What would be to occur...
If you...
How you say...
Piled upon your very dish...
Bit after bit of salt...
Hmmm?
Why...
Of course...
Twould fail many a man to make notice of the very obvious result...
And thereof...
Why...
Would the very dish find itself far too salty...
Yes...
And of it...
Indeed...
Would many a tongue stray from it...
Yes...
And thereof...
Indeed...
Tis the very same of the incantation...
Flaming Stream...
For...
Indeed...
Even so as the very stream of flames is blown from his very lips...
Does the very stream flow of flames...
And...
Even as with a stream of water...
Indeed...
Even so as the stream may find itself narrow...
Yes...
Twould do a man unkindly...
To merely sit and watch...
As the very incantation...
Finds its mark upon his body...
Yes...
Tis a dangerous spell, one would say...
For...
Indeed...
Tis the only option...
To flee...
Yes...
And of that, why...
Did the very Knights soon leave their very positions...
Yes...
However...
Why...
I suppose...
Hmmm?
Oh dear...
Yet again...
Why...
Twould seem that I even managed to over speak...
Why...
Quite careless of me, I must say...
The very idea...
Truly...
Even so, had I failed to come to the very end of my explanation...
Yes...
Oh dear...
Tis my fault, I must say...
Hmmm...
Well...
Twould do me poorly to merely leave you so...
However, twould seem that our very clock has run out...
Yes...
Well...
Tis as I oft find myself doing...
Indeed...
Tis my fault, dear reader...
Do find yourself taking a break if necessary...
And thereof...
******
Indeed...
Shall I continue...
Now then...
Moving along...
Shall I fully explain the very nature of the incantation: Flaming Stream...
Yes...
Now then, ...
Dear reader...
Tis as I said before...
The very incantation does find itself to be one...
In which the very flames of it spew from the lips of the user...
And thereof...
Why...
Do the flames simply pour on...
And on...
And then...
Indeed...
Even so...
Does the spell continue...
However...
Tis not the full nature of the spell...
Why...
The very wizards did deem it to be a lesser spell...
Yes...
And of that...
Why...
Did the very wizards once upon a time...
Decide to, how you say...
Well, I suppose this was of very many a thing...
Hmmm...
Dear reader...
Have you, mayhaps...
In your world...
Sonething approximating...
How you say...
One from whom you learn?
Hmmm?
A whole system, you say...
Why...
Indeed...
Twas of what I spoke...
Yes...
The very thing...
Indeed...
The very thing...
And of it...
Why...
Twould be unto my own imagination...
That the very teachers of your world...
Do begin with...
How you say...
Lesser forms of knowledge...
Hmmm?
Why...
Of course...
Yes...
Tis the very thing I would imagine also...
Why...
Tis the very same with the spells taught of the wizards...
For...
Indeed...
The very men and women practitioners do fibd themselves...
Teaching of arts...
From the very weakest...
Indeed...
To the spells that may well subdue even the stronger of the Knights...
Yes...
And of them...
Indeed...
Does the incantation find itself among the very weakest of the fray...
Why...
Tis not unordinary...
For a wizard exam...
To contain one such spell...
And of it...
Indeed...
To merely fire the incantation: Flaming Stream...
At a target that rarely, if ever...
Finds itself afoot...
Yes...
Indeed...
Tis an easy exam, I would say...
Yes...
However...
Even so, as the very spell finds itself so...
Indeed...
Does it remain one of the easiest spells to learn...
And of it...
Why...
Does the very spell even so require the least hardship to master...
Yes...
Why...
There are many a spell that a young wizard may master at a kindly age...
To fire lightning...
To fire blasts of wind...
Nay...
Even so...
To surround oneself with magical energy...
And of it...
Indeed...
To do many a thing...
Yes...
Even so, to attack or to defend...
Yes...
Why...
There even exists a spell...
That turns the very energy...
Into a blinding light...
And of it...
Tis as I would say...
Does the very spell find itself useful from time to time...
Yes...
However, moving along...
Are not many a spell as the incantation: Flaming Stream...
For...
Indeed...
Even so as it finds itself to be merely slightly stronger than the very many spells I did just mention...
Nay...
Even so...
Does its destructive power find itself to be far and above...
The very limits of the spells I mentioned...
Nay...
Twould be a failure in logic to even so compare the very two...
Yes...
However...
Indeed...
Does the very spell yet find itself so...
Yes...
Tis a fully low ranked spell...
Yet its potential...
Why...
Tis truly remarkable...
Yes...
To merely pile upon flames...
Why...
Twould fail upon the common man, I would say....
And so, dear reader...
Do tell...
How so does this spell find itself so?
For...
Indeed...
Twas your very answer...
That the move simply happened to be the right one...
Yes...
A good answer, I must say...
And thereof...
Why...
Shall I elucidate further...
For...
Indeed...
Tis of the many things of battle...
Hmmm?
Why...
Fret not...
I shall explain...
Yes...
Ahem...
The very spell...
Nay...
Even so, incantation: Flaming Stream...
Finds itself to be of an odd nature...
And thereof...
Why...
Does the user require of him or herself...
To merely stay standing...
Nay...
Even so to continue to use the spell...
Yes...
Why...
Tis as a swordsman...
Whose very arm is preoccupied with his shield...
Even so as he defends against his mighty opponent...
And thereof...
Dare I say...
Tis true...
Yes...
For...
The very user of the spell...
Must find him or herself...
Upon the very ground...
Nay...
Even so...
Must their very focus...
Remain upon their foe...
And of it...
Why...
Twould fail to be wise for a wizard...
To merely stand...
Even so, as his opponent...
May find him or herself...
Soon ready to strike back...
And of it...
Indeed...
Were the brothers Hessenger prepared...
For...
Yes...
Was the very pair...
Surrounded with a shield...
Of flames...
Yes...
Hmmm?
I failed to make mention thereof...
Why...
Tis as I said...
Believe not everything you read...
Yes...
And of that...
Indeed...
Tis battle...
For even so...
Tis a clever thing to remember...
In battle...
Shall even a kitchen knife one day find itself...
Greater than a blade...
Yes...
Well...
I suppose the very chapter may well find itself stopping here...
Tis quite lengthy, I would say...
Why...
Twould be best to stop here...
Indeed...
Yes...
And as for you, dear reader...
Do find yourself fresh ingredients...
Even so as you cook...
Yes...
Hmm?
Oh, pish posh...
Tis something to be proud of...
Yes...
Tis something to be proud of indeed...
And of that...
Yes...
Happy cooking, dear reader...
Happy cooking indeed...
