Surrounded by the wilderness of Eldergrove, a tale of curses and hexes was poised to unfurl. An ancient, leather-bound tome lay concealed amongst sacred roots, inscribed with runes of unfathomable intricacy. Within its pages harbored the sinister secrets of Malachi, a sorcerer gripped by the lust for power, weaving dark enchantments, each more treacherous than the last.

Nefall
Roughly speaking the Japanese written on the headstone in the small Tokyo graveyard translated as follows. Here lies Shinzo Ito, the man who never fell. Born Oct. 29, 1900, died Sept. 3, 1981. Shinzo is believed to be the only adult on planet earth who never once, from the time of his first steps as a toddler in Nagasaki, to the time of his death in Tokyo, fell out of control down to his knees or worse. He was not a particularly athletic man, nor was he particularly clumsy. He was not particularly intelligent, nor unusually dull. He was not extremely handsome, nor was he considered ugly. He was not rich, nor was he ever poor. In fact, he was average in almost every measurable way, but for one, he never fell once in his life; from the day he drew his first breath to the day he breathed his last, dying peacefully in his sleep at age 81, after lying down under his own power to go to sleep for the night. Shinzo died unaware of his amazing accomplishment. His wife reported that his last words whispered to her as he fell asleep the night of his passing were, goodnight honey, I love you. Shinzo is survied by his wife Anyi, two adult children Akira and Akima and three grandchildren all of whom, like every other adult human known to exist on planet earth, have fallen at least once in their lives.
