Transcripted Account of Touhas Casar
"So ya say ye saw the Kainga , face ta face and lived? 'Ow am I supposed to guarantee tha what ya say is true Touhas?"
"It doesn't matter if you know if I am telling the truth or not. The only witness was dead before, and now its still iffy on if they existed in the first place. But yes, I did see the Kainga in all its monstrosity."
"So ya understan' what it is and yet ya were not afraid ta be so close?"
"Of course I was afraid! But fleeing only would have ensured my death, so I hid."
"I suppose ya should st-"
"Would you like another mug sir?"
"Oh... Sure ill 'ave another pint."
"Nothing for me thanks."
"Excelent, and Welpa, this one is courtesy of the gentleman over there."
Note: I had helped the man with a few nails he needed for his farmstead.
"Aye thank ya miss. As I was sayin... Ya should start from tha beginnin."
"How far back do you want?"
"If ya start talkin 'bout 'ow much yer da' started swoonin over yer mothers bosom the mug may end up on yer 'ead."
"Haha, than ill start from the hunt."
"Is fine, jus leave out tha sense o' humor. This is on tha reccord."
"I was wondering what that tablet was for... good to know. Oh its even keeping up to date with my words! Blocks, Lock, Chest, For-"
"GET TA THA POINT!"
"Sorry... sorry. The hunt. So as was usual, I had found the tracks for a decent elk just outside the forest and had followed it in. I tracked it for a good two or three miles through the woods, before finding an open field that it aparently had just gone through. So, I set up a trap, get a good bit of food near an old dear trail, to try and get something on my way back if the elk managed to escape. Its happened a few times before."
"Better a-oh thank ya lass- better at hidin than huntin than?"
"I used to be, but overall its even now. Benefit of being a pointy ear."
"Half pointy, still allright."
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha! please continya."
"So after setting the trap I ended up following the trail for only a little while longer before I found the elk, shot it, killed it, gutted it, and was about to pick it up and start walking back home... But..."
"The footseps?"
"No... the silence... It was as if the sound of the world was gone. Taken away by some evil force. Even with my ears, the only thing I could hear was the beating of my heart. No birds, bugs, wind.. Everything was completely vacant. Than I heard the footsteps."
"I understand if ya want ta stop Touhas... Yer tha first one who I've talked tee and seen it, n lived ta tell about it. It would be a shame to have ya stop but-"
"NO... no im fine, its better to talk about than not. So at that point, I fled to the roots of a tree and hid, not knowing what was coming, and just waiting out the creature in general. That... That thing ate the entire elk like it was only a crumb of bread... It was just massive. It towered higher than most trees I've ever seen. It stank of death and it took everything I had to not run from my hiding spot... until It ripped up the tree I was hiding under with nothing but a swipe of its tail as it started to leave."
"Wait. go back, can ye describe it more?"
"Y... yeah. It was a wierd brown gray color, like rocks and earth. Six legs, and a tail, with spiked scales and horns all over its body. But the teeth... teeth as large as if you were on my shoulders standing straight up. I ran so fast when that tree was knocked down... I had even forgotten about the trap I set up."
"I 'eard that ye were there fer three days."
"Unfounded. Only until nightfall when I woke up and released myself, but with a bum leg from the trap, It took me two more days to get back to town... which was just nothing but rubble and a crater by the time I got there."
"Do ye remember those ya lost?"
"No... only the number, fourty, and I couldn't tell you what the buildings looked like either. That was so long ago, im amazed I still remember that much."
"Trauma does funny things with tha head lad. But dinnae let it make ye the man ya were nae supposed ta be."
"How much ale have you had dwarf?"
"Enough ta know tha' Im runnin out again. Lets call it shall we?"
"Sure. Thanks again Welpa."
"Shut up n buy me a pint pointy ears."
