"Ever heard a story of a man with no end?" the old man asked with a grin on his face. He slowly looked around the tavern salle, closely inspecting everyone around. "No? Let me tell you then. The tale of Linos, the tale of a man that lost his end... There are many versions of this story, but only the one you are going to hear today contains the truth." the man paused for a while, curiously inspecting the silence in the room. He never stopped being amazed by the people living in Ratakar, the greatest empire outside of the Inner Circle and yet, still somewhat... modest - The only place in the world where bards were given tributes worth of kings, where any untold story had a greater value than a treasure full of gold. But why? Were the stories a treasure of its own kind? Maybe... Not even the greatest minds in the world could ever truly figure out why they esteem the stories so much.
The old man cleared his throat and continued his long monologue - his tender for the gifts he has been given.
"Long time ago... when gods weren't yet gods and when none of the kingdoms we currently know existed, there lived a man. This man never knew a defeat. He fought in battles no other man could, for he fought with his tongue and not a sword. He was known by many names, but his only true name was..."
Now, there comes the part where you guys should engage, continue the old man's story. You can also work with an audience if you feel like doing so. Just to point out (what you already probably figured out), I am not a great writer nor a native English speaker.
The story should be set in a fantasy medieval era and should end with the protagonist loosing his end - that could mean anything. I was thinking about not being able to die...
It's just a simple starting post to see if there are still some living souls out there in this sub-forum...
