Captain's Log. 28th of Opal.
BurnedToast and Xotes ran into my office.
"TITAN!" screamed Xotes, "IT'S A TITAN! DON'T LET IT EAT MY BABY!"
At that I demanded BurnedToast to slap her. She was clearly hysterical.
She doesn't have a baby!
But the more pressing matter at hand was, of course, the Titan, come to visit us.
Of course, he may just want to be friends. It's always possible.
I went to the gate to spy out this visitor.
I have to admit, I couldn't control myself. I laughed so hard I nearly burst.
He was naked.
[Image missing]
Totally naked.
I turned to my citizens.
"THAT?" I asked them "is what terrifies you so!?"
I had hoped my jeering would bring them to their senses, but it seemed not. They just wrung their hands and nodded.
I shouted that he was naked. That he would probably freeze to death if we just sat back and did nothing.
Seeing their doubtful faces I gave in.
I decided that I would either slay the thing, or drive it off.
"I shall dismember it's member!" I cried. I was particularly proud of that line.
But nobody got it.
It was then we noticed it moving towards us. I ordered everyone back inside. Their safety was at stake.
The monster and I regarded each other. It had size, and I had something else.
An axe. Also I was, at that time, possibly the most putrid specimen of a dwarf ever to be seen.
We charged at each other, screaming bloody murder.
In the end, only I remained. Sitting atop a very large corpse.
I got a little more blood on me I think, though really at this point it's become difficult to tell.
