Finally, you take a look at the news flyer. To your surprise, all of the letters on this one seem to be staying in place. However, the latter half of the flyer is damaged beyond readability, and the text itself isn't the most intelligent...
BEWARE! DRAGON-SPAWN HAVE TAKEN THE SKIES!
Now, if you believe th' ol' church's claims that kythronn are true deevine demi-gods, well you ought to turn your head up with a GRIN. Either those ice-elfs up in Doman Marn 've gone 'n' made wings o' their own, or DRAGON-SPAWN have taken o'er the skies of northern Fairland. You can't hit 'em with a knife or stone, and those gun-draggin' priests won't do you ANY good with the High Kythrr's hands FIRMLY UP THEIR ARSES! Take it up with yer fletcher and sees about getting REAL ANTI-DRAGON-SPAWN pro-ject-tiles made b'fore--
The flyer abruptly ends before it can finish its very important warning. Ah well...
Esō returns with a linen sack full of dried meats and fruits. The "sack" actually looks like the scraps of someone's nightclothes, but... Eh, food is food. Esō sets the snack in your lap before settling at your feet, resting its arms on its crossed legs. It seems to be waiting for something...
Thanks for reading through the first set of the Library of Esō! The next update will be December 10th, with updates on the 10th, 20th, and 30th of every month. Please consider leaving a like, subscribing to follow along, and commenting to let me know what you think so far! (And what you would be doing in this situation...) This is my first time putting out something completely written, and I look forward to growing stronger with my English writing skills as I continue to work on this story. :]
If you somehow managed to land here without being directed from my previous work, consider checking out my comic! It takes place in the same universe as this story, but with a lot more cool art to soften the roughness of my writing. ;) https://tapas.io/series/Reasons-Lament/info
You've wandered the tundra for what feels like an eternity. You don't know where you are, what your name is, or how you arrived in this place. Your only hope for survival is a not-quite-human beast with an affinity for literature. Somewhere in the creature's vast archive, you hope to find the answers to your questions: Why are you here? Where did you come from? Who are you?
