Lil's Tales: The Highlander and the Bear
Culture Edition
"It all started with tha' hunter and tha' hunted."
-
It all started with the hunter and the hunted, being an Ailor man tied to no particular culture and a bear. The Ailor had small, puny hands compared to the massive paws of the majestic beast and unfortunately, the man lost his axe a while back on a previously unsuccessful hunt. The man looks the bear in the eye and they start to brawl, grappling each other like feral beasts and ended up fighting for hours and hours. The fight goes back and forth until the Ailor comes out victorious with the bear laying against the muddy soils.
"With ah' low rumble deep within tha' bears moighty chest, he says, 'Yew win, pal. I'll give yew tha' power of my paws as yer tha' roightful victor. Use 'em woisely.'"
-
The man did use them wisely just after that. He finished the defeated animal off with a victorious roar of newfound power. The Ailor began to fight Velheimers, Daendroquins, Nelfin, and even Gods alike. He came out victorious each and every time, winning riches and glory among all of the lands in Aloria. The bears among these lands became frightened and offered their own strength to this Ailor who spread it among his people.
"One ah' the first of his people tae' get this power was my pa."
-
The only reason Highland Ceardians are able to lose to these beasts now, is not because they do not possess the strength, but because those grizzlies simply did not give away their power in the first place.
