《The Riddler's Handbook: "Lorem Ipsum"》A Knight's Duty
Advertisement
While the capital was getting ready for the King's birthday tomorro, Kight took his squad to subjugate dangerous beasts deep within the woods. It is important that the roads are clear for the few visitors who may come. While trecking through the woods, Kight and his squad came across a Poe-shroom. It kept repeating a poem and this is what they heard.
"Beware my friends! For on this sunny day
Continue and there you'll see a sloth in your way.
This sloth is quite fast, outrun them I thought I could.
But I was unable to run out of theese woods.
The sloth, they gained on me, no matter how fast I would run.
I was running pretty fast, but this race would not be won.
The sloth trapped me and tore me like rags.
So please leave now, pack your swords, pack you bags."
"Should we listen to it and leave?" Asked Kight's lieutenant. "We may not be ablt to handle what it saw."
"Peo-shrooms are notorious for telling the truth differently. It must have saw an unlucky traveler run by." Kight said. Then, he turned to the back of his squad. "You three!" He shouted while pointing at his scouts. "Look around and see if you can find any remains. If you see anything that might look like the "sloth," report back to me. Also, one of you fetch Jester to decipher this poem."
"Yes Sir!" They shouted in unison and left. After a while, they came back and reported what they found. Jester was able to confirm the identity the sloth from their report and Kight took his squad to subjugate it.
"Everyone's having a huge feast tomorrow!" Kight's lieutenant shouted with glee.
