The Story of Mekkodin
-A compiled collection of events from ingame events-


-=The paper crumples under the stubby hand of the young dwarf as he rubs a rock against the parchment's surface, letting the sharpened rock leave a black trail to illustrate the dwarf's writing.=-

The last days are coming, Newport guards speak of execution on the rising sun of the morrow, and yet I still can't shake the feelings of past nights.

I've been having these horrible dreams that change to delight in a breath's span, then melt back to decay and death that wreck my mind with their fatigue ravaging patterns. This past dream was even odder, I dreamed I was in a land of stone and air, but nothing more. No life, no death, the land was nothing more than..... calmness in physical form.

The morrow comes quickly, and I must get some rest before I am put to death for my crimes.....

-=The paper slips from the fingers of the dwarf and sleep falls over the room soon after=-

The night slips into my mind, cool and calm. Tonight I may get the sleep I've been looking for.

But.... wait, I know where I am... this is the same place I was at before. Cold, lonely, and deserted, just as it was the first time I dreamed of this place. Something is different this time. A man.... A massive man, wearing fine white clothes says he can guide me through the place, should I trust him? I have to.... there's no other choice.

He talks about my choices, is he talking about my crimes?
Who is this Challenge he speaks of, I must find a way out of here!

Who is that? A Barbarian? A woman..... she looks like she may know something, I must talk to her.

Fight? What? This woman is mad!
Trial?
To death? No!
I must protect myself!
She... fights..... hard....I have almost no control over my fists.... but she... is weakening....

I win! Ha! Damned Barbarians!

Wait... I passed a trial? She was a test? This place is getting more confusing by the second....she speaks of a second test... I must go, I have no choice do I?

Another woman, this time... she's human and wearing a robe... a Mage maybe?
She'll know something....... What are you talking about woman? I don't know any magic... all I know if how to sink a dagger into a spine....But how do I use "Magic" anyway?

A rune? Huh.... I'm dreaming so it wouldn't hurt I guess.... now how do you... OH!

Another trial!? Damnit Send me to my death at the gallows already!

WO! A..... shadow without a person to hold them to the ground? This HAS to be a dream..... there's... I see more people.

It's a group of people, maybe they can help.... or maybe I can get some "dream money" from them -chuckle-.

Oh come on... the damned Darkie is talking about another trial..... might as well get this over with...

A gift? For me? How thoughtful... Now get me out of this hell hole in my mind! -grumble- Find some one to give it to....yeah yeah I heard you Darkie.

Hmm... The thug looking fool wants this thing bad, but he can keep his tricks about how to be ugly to himself.... let's see what the woman will give me, then the merchant looking man.

HA! Woman, I doubt this thing could stop you're family from starving, but Me on the other hand.... this thing will fetch some coin, enough for a last meal.

Keep the tricks merchant, just give me some coin!

The Darkie's yelling for me to talk to her.... damn woman won't close that face...

Oh grand! I get to get out of here... right after I learn how to count. Babbling Darkie -mimicry- talk to the first, second, third, and last before you go home, blah blah blah.

Death's knocking so why not just let the door hang open for a while huh?

This... massive structure seems to be the end of this barren place, hopefully I'll wake up soon and die so I can end this world of stupidity to the rest of the dream void.

Shadows seems to be gaurding this pl-...... The... by the gods.....A man of metal? My Rage? Gives me... Material things... that I can touch and feel? .... A large creature that looks some what like an old god.... calls himself My Body? He gives me food.... that I can taste! This dream is getting odder...And the ... Caped crusader apparently is the goat of the parade here....


Where's the door? Come on elf.... let me die in peace!

Wait... I've been chosen? And what of my old life? Crimes are Crimes Elfie, I die for my crimes, you can't change that with your tree lovin'. Aye, I'm chosing a way to walk.... right out the door lass!

-Grumble- Destiny westiny, what ever.

-= The room brightens as the lights inside the area fill the dwarf's eyes=-

Wh....where am I... I'm out of my cell? I'm not dead? " This night marks the end of your old life..." She was right.

Guards say hello to me.... People greet me..... They know not of my past crimes...-Grinning- Then let me make know ones!

-= The sun falls behind the walls of Newport as the dwarf exits the Inn and makes his way to the Gates of Newport, facing Centaur Hills.... he smiles looking at the Dirk he'd obtained from his dream with a slightly delighted face.=-
