Personals / Strength is not everything!
March 25, 2013, 03:38:01 PM
There once was a dwarf who studied the artisan profession with great devotion.

He learnt how to craft mighty swords and strong armors.

Soon he made friends and earned the appreciation of many.

He was becoming richer and richer and he was happy for a while.

One day he thought to himself: "So here I am rich and surrounded by friends. But all of my friends have great deeds in their lives. They fight evil monsters, they kill powerful enemies and I... I spend my days sweating in the forge."

Once he realized this he became sad and lonely. He kept on working but even the masterworks didn't satisfy him. Maybe the gods were laughing at him?

As he was walking the streets lonely, the dwarf heard a rumor. Everyone was talking about a great battle soon to come.

The dwarf got many orders and he worked day and night to prepare the warriors. They were going to siege the castle! Some of the warriors would become legendary, some will fall in oblivion.

One day, the dwarf was working quietly when he heard voices approaching his door. Some of his strong and tall friends entered the forge and bowed to him.

"Why do you bow to me? I am nothing but an artisan." Said the dwarf.
"Our dear friend, you are not just an artisan! You helped us become the strong warriors we are today! But we come here with a request." They responded.

"We need your help to gain victory at the siege. You are famous for your skills! Maybe you can help us with your creativity?"
Suddenly the dwarf felt joyful and he got an idea on his friend's request.

"At last I am taking part in something big! I'll make sure my creation will be remembered in future! It will shake the ground when walking and it will break the strongest walls!"

So was the dwarf thinking as he was working on the biggest creature ever. And indeed, he helped his friends in the battle! Finally, he was satisfied and really happy. 

"It is true, I am not such a good fighter... but my skills and knowledge were crucial in the great siege! I have friends and not at least, I am rich! Ho ho ho!"

Personals / A Magical Day

So here I am, a cute little dwarf that loves to have fun! I live for fun!

But my master surely doesn't want to hear about this. He deals with magic and creatures he summons from other world. He is always serious...

One day he gave me an order to pick some mushrooms and bring them to him. Of course I followed the order but for some reasons, I went back to him too late...

I put the best smile on my face giving him the mushrooms. Still, he was mad at me!

"What took you so long?" He asked.
I had no choice but to tell him the truth...

As I was walking in the forest, I finally found the mushrooms and started picking them.

I felt hungry and I thought, maybe I can eat a mushroom or two. So I did when I started feeling dizzy.

I was on my way back to my master when I passed out.

When I woke up I wasn't in the forest. I was in a place I've never seen before and it was so colorful and beautiful! And there was so much fun around!

I found some friendly creatures and we laughed a lot!

I took part in a servitor's parade!

There was so much more to explore...

Wait a second! A servitor's parade? Oh! My master will be so angry! I was missing for long and the mushrooms...

I had to go back as soon as possible. But there was a problem. Where was the way out?

I walked for hours when I finally met two creatures.

I asked them for the way and they said they can help me. They said that one of them was a gatekeeper to the real world and the other one was a gatekeeper to the world of nowhere.

"But which one is which?" I was so confused.
"That's the thing!" They said. "One of us always tells the truth and one of us always tells a lie."

When I heard this, I remembered what I read in the books of my master. He had many books based on mind attacks. So, I was prepared. I went to one of them asked:

"Would the other one tell me that you are the gatekeeper to the real world?"
He thought for a while and said: "Yes."

"Then the other one is the gatekeeper to the real world and you are the gatekeeper to the world of nowhere!" I exclaimed.

"How could you know?!" The creature laughed. "He could be telling the truth!"

"But then you would be telling a lie! And if you tell me he would say "Yes", then I know the answer is "No"."

"But what if I am telling the truth?" The creature was confused.

"Then he would be telling a lie! And if you say his answer is "Yes" then I know the answer is "No"."
"Oh, what if..." The gatekeeper didn't really know what else to ask, so it teleported me to the real world.

I woke up in the forest and hurried up to my master.

I told him about my adventures and he finally spoke:

"I knew you would get in a mess sooner or later. But I can't be mad at you. I must say, you are my best student!"
