Gerim a greedy fool who got some rather quick karma. After all, his lust for wealth and his general 'passion' led to his... crushing demise. While there wasn't much magic in that story or even a beast, it did grant us an introduction to the tale of the Emerald Axe, and dear Reader you got to meet one of those I have watched over the centuries. This will be a tale that gets more fantastical with each chapter, but we shall continue on with that another night. First, we should check in on Amb.

Amb seems to have made some progress on her bike ride. Without any incidents, I might add. The only change to her life is her bank account. She spent way too much on groceries. Ah, well, youth will be youth. She has just made it to her apartment. Nothing all that exciting but lots of light and in the cheaper region of her city. 

She struggles to get her bike up the stairs. A parting gift from her father that is a size too big, but to save cash, Amb has decided to make it work. I guess the next logical step is that she will unpack her bags and make dinner. Let me guess she, like all the others in her generation, has no cooking skills and will be relying on frozen pizza and Kraft dinner to sustain her. Hmm... Interesting, while not to my taste she seems to have some passable cooking skills.
