New story! Woohoo!
Oh yeah. You're gonna loooove this one. Before we begin, however, I'd like to state that Fiona once ate too many carrots and turned orange. That is all.
The Man Who Spoke to the Stars.
Very recently, in the high, sleepy hills of a distant land, there lived a wise old man who had been exiled from the king’s court because of his disastrous prophesies for the kingdom. This man was called Nishan the Seer. He had lived in the same little hut on top of the most precarious hill since he had been thrown out of the royal palace and the capital. When first arriving on the hill, Nishan, very distressed, had torn his clothes and hair in frustration, lamenting: “Why was I cursed with this ability to foretell the Future? It has brought me nothing but ruin!”
After a few weeks of this self-pity, he started to become accustomed to his new environment. He built his house, found out which trees bore the best fruit, learned the locations of the berry bushes the bears visited (studiously avoiding them), and ascertained where the largest schools of fish swam in the river. In this way, he passed many of his days in a state of near contentment.
