Jorren

Trolagus awoke in the early dawn in the deep forests of Brokinai Coyciria, a province of the great Carodian Engarleshment. He had built a small cabin in the woods the night before. He had been secluded from society for 4 years now. In the condagarents of towers, the people had been enslaved by the Sajigarians who had taken control of the lands through diplomatic means. Although Trolagus did not know, he was the final defender of the great Engarleshment. The cabin was eight feet tall and twenty feet wide. It was damp and poorly built. Trolagus knew he did not come to become a survivor man or to build a large settlement or to defend the sovereignty of Carodia, but to experience the creations of the highest alone, without the distractions of the condagarents of towers.

He ventured out to the condagarents as he had finally run out of berries in the garden. A long hike occurred, where a group of thieves beat him to the ground. He was robbed of the few material possessions he had. Still, he continued to travel with the hope that he would see somebody who would help. Once he arrived at the nearest condagarent, called Nirvanoy, he begged on the streets for even the barest of supplements. He was not greeted with any, not once during his voyage. He crossed many condagarents until he found Vargosnat and met Udagarolat, Perisalo, Muyorigal and 9 others. Amongst them were people of great flaws. He had already known them, but they had not known him. He found a woman of the name of Gladara at a booth where she sold illegal substances and pleasurable services. She hid her face from him, having heard the stories the townspeople have told about him. He told her,

"Do not hide your face."

She slowly turned to him. She shivered, and spoke,

"I am not worthy to see you, I am unclean."

She sobbed on his coat, but he did not become upset with this.

"All have made themselves unclean, but I tell you, through me, you shall bathe for all time."

She stopped sobbing and looked into his eyes. She arose from her seat and followed him. He had amassed a close following, but many more tried to speak with him.

One day, seeing the crowds following Trolagus, the kinnars found themselves despising him. They feared that he would take their place as the highest amonst the Carodians. More so, they feared that he would inspire the devoted crowds to fight against the Sajigarians. They knew the Carodians could never defeat the Sajigarians, so they believed that if he was left alive, they would all soon perish.

"Surely, this man cannot be the sole reason for the massacre of our people?" Spoke Karlob, the greatest of the kinnars.

The council agreed with him, that they must have Trolagus killed if they are to survive. And so, they sought to find a way to get the Sajigarians to kill him. Yulars, one of the 12 of Trolagus had a similar concern, and so he went out in the night to the kinnars to speak to them. They decided that if Yulars were to reveal the location of Trolagus to the kinnars, he would be paid well.

After some time, Trolagus had a small feast with the 12 and the woman. He took biscuits and split them up amongst the 12. They ate of it. He gave water unto the 12 and they drank of it. Trolagus spoke,

"One of you shall give me away to the lions who wish to eat me, as I have given my body to you to eat."

The 12 were stunned and did not know what to make of the words he spoke. They all yelled, "Not me! I will stay with you!" but Trolagus turned to Perisalo and spoke,

"You will give me up three times." and turned to Yulars,

"And you shall lead the lions to me. Go, now. They are waiting for you."

Yulars ran out the door and cried. He led the kinnars to Trolagus who was in the garden. Some Sajigarians took Trolagus to the house of the kinnars and had him interrigated. Karlob asked Trolagus,

"You assume to yourself the position of The Great?"

"I assume myself to the position of which you accuse me of. I am of all, and soon you will all be of nothing." Trolagus responded.

"He says it is so! Take him to the Jarl!" Karlob yelled.

Trolagus was swiftly taken away by the Sajigarians to the house of the Jarl, Pontialut. Perisalo was asked by 3 men about his connection to Trolagus, as him and his followers were now outlaws. He denied his connection to Trolagus, and realized that what Trolagus said came to be.

The Sajigarians threw Trolagus to the ground before Pontialut. He asked,

"Are you Trolagus who they call The Great? What has this man done?'

The kinnars yelled,

"He has taken the name of The Great of the Carodians to the lowest!"

"This is not a concern of the Sijagarians! Take him to your king, Huras!" Pontialut announced.

At the house of King Huras, he asked Trolagus to preform an act to prove he is of The Great. Trolagus declined each time, but Huras could not find a fault in him, so he commanded that he be taken back to Pontialut so he could re-evaluate the situation. At the house of the Jarl, Pontialut attempted to help Trolagus as he knew he was innocent, but the crowds had turned against him and wanted him dead. When he knew he could not save him from the lions, he exclaimed that the blood of Trolagus was on them. They proudly repeated this. And so they took him to be killed.

Trolagus carried the noose upon which he was to be hung on the road that he walked on before. He was whipped and mocked by the Sajigarians. He was hung. He spoke,

"The Greatest, I return to you."

And he died. The sky grew dark and people arose from their graves and talked to many townspeople. There was a harsh storm and curtains tore.
