Now, let me tell you about titles.
They are awesome. Well, to be honest, not all are awesome, they are mostly quite dull. But the getting them is the fun part.
Like chasing a chicken, it's fun to chase a chicken but the fun ends when the sharp edge of an axe finds the neck. That's the end of the chicken, don't put your fingers in there or they end up with the chicken too! Afterwards you have just two pieces of a chicken and a bloody axe. But sometimes you get a title too.
I was once walking around, after exploring new corners of the world. Recovering.
Meeting friends at the Howling Mountains. Like grand step-auntie Agnes. She's always been talking nice to me when I walk by her on may way to the auction house to get rid of all the junk I've gathered in my bag. She is not interested in the junk at all, she's a bit tired since she has trouble sleeping in the night. I think it's because she does not flex her muscle enough, she just stays there and talks all the time.
Then I met my new step-mom there. Though she was not yet my step-mom, but I had seen her with dad quite often already. I think she was checking us out at that time. Trying to make up her mind.
Suddenly this lady says she wants to introduce me to the Cavern of Trials.
She explained she could gain a title with me and that's what she really desires. She needed my hand to help her down there.
- Well, I have nothing else to do, so I could please the lady, I thought and went off with her. If dad is not here to take care of things that must be done, then I'm the man in the house. Or village. Or in the world. Same thing, once we take over the world.
So, we got to the the cave eventually. The entrance was pouring with some slime. We passed them quickly and got inside. Everything so nice and tidy. Like a home. Except my home is a mess. So it's somebody else's home.
- This is not right, said the yet-to-be-new-stepmom. Something is missing. There are supposed to be some little things around, she explained.
Maybe it was her home, since she knew something was missing? Or is she a frequent visitor? Who knows. At least I don't. Or didn't at that time. Now I know better.
- Ok, let's get some professional help then, I gave up. When a lady says no, what can you do?
Well, we got the help quickly and rushed back to the cavern. I won't tell you about the help. It's so humiliating to get a child to help you. I was really hoping that now it would work out properly.
Now, before we continue, I must confess this was not my first time doing this stuff. I had once tried the thing years back. All alone, in the night, with a bump. Now, with this lady, it was totally different! No bumps at all. But don't tell my step-mom, she does not need to know. I was excited to do this with company.
- The first time I made this, it made my stomach full, she confessed.
- Wow, she must have some appetite, I wondered.
Again, in the cavern, with the to-be-my-new-stepmom. And the little things. I started to play with those little pests but she called me to come quickly. Always in a such a hurry, no time to play around at the entrance, so I kindly proceeded. There was something coming at her. So, I rushed in, knocked it down and checked the treasures, like I always do. Damn. She got there before me.
- Awesome, so this is how you do Titles?
- Yes, and you were very good at it. I want to do more Titles with you.
- Yippee, I am now The Trailblazing Explorer of her Cavern of Trials!
Titles are nice.
