Eccentric Crogs
Once upon a time, there was a lonely wizard. He was a subpar wizard, known
for being helpful to other creatures - no matter the race.
One day, the wizard was
passing through a pond. that had a lot of weird and abnormal creatures. The wizard
plans to keep one and teach it the ways of magic.
He saw a lot of eccentric creatures; A spider that had the face of a horse; A
fairy that had the wings of a bee. But there was only one that caught the eye of the
wizard. It seemed like a tadpole, but it already had mature fins while fashioning a
crocodile mouth. It seems to be a creature of paramount rarity, it had
moss-smooth skin, it grew fairly quickly, and it was called a "Crog".
The wizard
took it in, seeing its value. He then came back to the town he lived in, named "Dinsville", and went inside
his house, a stone tower. It was a bogged down place; Containing a peanut
table, an almond chest, wet stones for walls, and half-melted candles. He only knew a fair bit of magic, but he'd just recently learned how to create objects with it.
He wanted to create a house,
a container, for his little Crog friend. He wanted it to resemble his previous home,
pond-like in nature, filled with moss, lily pads, and tasty beetles. He also wanted it to
be "open", to some extent, so that he could observe the little creature's well-being.
"A hole in the ground!", exclaimed the wizard, "That will do the trick!"
But then he realized that beetles would crawl all over his floor, so he scrapped
the idea.
"Inside a lamp!", thought the wizard, "That will keep it off my floor!"
But then he realized that the Crog would sit atop a lily pad, so he won't be
able to see it. And that he had no lamps, only candles, and so scrapped the idea
once again.
But then he remembered his studies, his newly learnt spells.
One of the beginner levels was called "How to summon glass".
"A box made of glass!", decided the wizard, "That will solve my problem."
And so he pulled out his magic wand, blew upon it, and a shiny bubble came
out.
It flew around, landing on his peanut table, popping like a balloon, and behold a little fish
tank! Finishing the tank, he thought it fitting to give his little Crog friend a name. And
so, he named it "Akesi", its container becoming "Akesi's domain".
"Hello, Akesi", said the wizard, "My name is Marton."
"You have a lovely domain!", complemented the wizard, "Do you like it?"
Akesi then squeeked, it does like it.
