Solarian Insider - August 18th Edition
Greetings Solarians!
Well, well! We have some news that is sure to rock your Monday! Sit back with a cuppa and enjoy the news from this week!
Erisichthon has been defeated!
Our reporters have just returned from the Cerulean Forest with the news that Erisichthon, the great Serpent that has caused chaos for the past few weeks, has been defeated by a group of brave 'Mara and Droma! The tale as to what went on is quite peculiar, but luckily we have a report from Elijah that hopes to help spread some light on the situation:
"This summer, we had been keeping an eye on an energy reading from within the forest that was growing with every passing day. This was of great concern to us as we hadn't picked up anything quite like it before, even with the other rifts popping up around the place seemingly at random they always were static, not growing. It turns out that the reason why this particular rift was growing was due to a youngling; a Droma who had been travelling back and forth to the Cerulean Forest and would often read stories, especially those from the book: Tales from the Coalescence. Because of this, we saw the likes of the Lampyre King, various Lampyres with the ability to speak, Gus being able to talk, and finally the beast Erisichthon.
"Whatever anomaly that caused this particular rift fed off of these stories and brought them to life. However it never got to hear the ending of the story from the youngling, and that led to the chaos of the past few weeks. Thanks to the efforts of the brave people who took part in the large fight to get the beast exhausted enough, we were able to get to the rift it was guarding without much of a fight. Leonidas managed to throw the book through the rift, causing the corruption that appeared on the beast to dissipate. It seems that the rift just needed to hear the end of the story to be satisfied.
"Just like in the Tales from the Coalescence, once the beast had been given enough Grunnling Eggs, it eventually went into a deep slumber and blessed the Cerulean Forest with a bountiful year of growth. Luckily for us, the weapons wore out the beast enough to send it into the same slumber. Now that the story has finished, it seems that the Lampyre King, the Banquet-goers, and even Gus' found voice are slowly disappearing once more. The tales the young Droma had unknowingly told the rift have come to an end, and so the rift has begun to close. We aren't sure if this is the last time we will see this rift open, however, we will be ensuring to keep a very close eye on it."
So, a rift that can make stories a reality that doesn't like cliffhangers? I don't blame it! They always leave you wondering what will come next! Thank you for helping us out during this strange and fantastical event!
