An excerpt: 'Keris: An Unbiased Re-telling of the Legend'

stupid acronyms ftw

From underneath the rock leapt the creature. Its angular jawline stood in stark contrast to the twisted opening of a mouth that sped in swift transit to the man's face. He fell to the ground, avoiding sudden consumption. His kicking feet skidded, and his hands clawed at the loose soil. With sudden power he moved forward into a stumbling run, the creature at his heels. "EEEEERRRRGG," it intoned. The man, panting, horrified, ran down the sloping hill. An unseen rock sent him rolling. The creature, in pursuit, took advantage and came for him.

The man screamed. The creature was on top of him until the moment it became caught in a fire of holy wrath. The man, blinking, scrambling to his feet, turned to look upon the unfiltered godliness of a night elf. Blinking at the glory-filled aura of his savior, he sputtered, "Who..."

The night elf spoke, her voice enchanting in its tambre: "You know of me."

The man remained silent for a moment. A look of enlightenment came to his eyes, and he said, "Keris."

The night elf nodded.

The man paused again. He then asked, "Could I get a fort buff?"

Slightly crestfallen, but hiding it well, the night elf bestowed upon him her Prayer of Fortitude, a glorious blessing which increased the lifespan of its recipient.

Without pause, the man then said, "Oh yeah, spirit, too, please."

The night elf prayed to the goddess Elune, and blessed the man with her Prayer of Spirit, giving the man more resilience in the face of opposition than he had ever known.

"Um, and a heal?" requested the man.

The night looked at him kinda weird.

The night elf gave him fucking heal.

Then the man was all like, "you should dance and stuff." So the night elf chick started dancing, and it was hot. Totally fucking hot. cuz night elves are hot.

Dear god. My nerdliness has gone to the Dark Side.
This is the most epic story I have ever witnessed. [2008-06-02 03:08:30] A reliable witness
Like, even more epic than that one time we had a streaking run through Gnomeregan. Just the right height for disaster, hehehe.
