"It has been a hard time so far, but patients have been healed and we came through the disaster with relatively few deaths. It could have been worse.

Still not what I wanted to talk about. I got thinking about child hood and some of the tales on Akkadia and this one popped into my head. So I thought to share it, put it down for now.

Once there was a Blood Flower farmer that was poor and humble. He tended his small farm and possessed but one Qwiklick to pull his wagon. The animal was magnificent though and every time he went with his crop to the town everyone admired the animal.

The Mother of one of the minor houses saw the animal one day as he battered his crop for supplies and told him that if he gave her the animal that the Twins would bless him a hundred fold.

The farmer was uncertain but in the end he agreed, but before he gave the Guild Mother the Qwiklick he covered it in salt. The Qwiklick came back to its own pen that it knew and all the other's that the greedy Guild Mother owned followed and thus the Twins had blessed the farmer a hundred fold."
