Once upon a time there was a Dwarf hero named Oleg. Oleg liked
to blow things up. He liked the loud noises and the pretty colors
the fire would make.
One day, while he was traveling in the Barrier, he found some
green cubes lying on the ground where a Shade had died. Oleg had
never blown up green cubes before and he wanted to very badly.
His friends said, "Oleg, don't play with the green cubes. You
don't know what they are!"
Oleg wouldn't listen. He was too busy placing satchel charges.
His friends said, "Oleg, come with us. We have to get out of here."
Oleg told them to go ahead, that he would be with them in a minute.
His friends knew that Oleg, being a Dwarf, was stubborn. Once
he set his mind to do something he couldn't be stopped. Especially
when it came to blowing things up.
Oleg finished placing his satchel charges and took a few steps
back. His friends were running for their lives up the mountain.
Oleg noticed that he had a lot more company, too. It seems the
reinforcements for the Dark had arrived.
Oleg didn't care. He wanted to blow up the green cubes. He remembered
the words his father had told him after he made his first cocktail.
"You can only blow up one thing at a time."
Oleg threw a cocktail at the cubes and there was a big boom. And
then a series of more booms as three Dispersal Dreams were released
from the cubes. Oleg hopped for joy as he saw the Dreams eat up
his enemies. But Oleg's enemies were too numerous and after the
Dispersal Dreams were gone they set upon him! Ouch!
His friends managed to escape that day. They really didn't miss
Oleg because he was always cranky. Truan went on to star in Nike
commercials, Turgeïs marketed hair care products for men, ki'Angsi
sold the Bow of Stoning and retired, the Journeyman finally lost
weight and made exercise videos, and Alric managed to arrange
it so that everyone but him died in the war.
And they lived happily ever after.
Moral: The cube of all evil is equal to the root of your ignorance.
