"So who are you anyway?" We had been walking back to Carlina's car, I figured it was better than walking and my companion had agreed since he was tired of walking. The hammer he was carrying looked pretty heavy, probably more so because he carried the hammer in one hand and his fishing gear in the other, which if there were people around would have probably drawn a crowd.
"I am the greatest fisherman who has ever or will ever live, my goal in life is to catch every fish in this entire world."
"A name would have done."
"Oh, Erchus." We arrived at the car and he loaded his hammer into the back seat. I was about to get into the driver seat and give this mechanical beast a go when a creature with a ridiculously long arm smashed the car. The creature which had appeared from no where, was about twice the size of a normal person. The arm he crushed the car with was a combination of suckers like on an octopus (see I know sea creatures!) and claws, two big ugly looking claws. Its other arm as if to balance out its gigantic one was very tiny and sickly looking. Where a head would traditionally be was just one huge bulging eye, on its chest was the mouth full of nasty teeth.
"What in the gods is that?" The creature had pulled back its freaky arm and was appraising both me and Erchus.
"I was hoping you'd be able to tell me Trezlan, you are the one who claims to be very old." I admit I had been hoisted on my own petard here. I was about to try and offer a retort when the creature again swung his arm at us and thinks went a little crazy as they kind of do in a combat situation. I'll get into that next entry though, because I like to draw things out if you haven't noticed.
