50th of Ymiden 720

For the past few cycles since acquiring the magic acorn, Kisaik had used it incessantly almost to the point where any other magical artifact would swiftly burn out and lose its magic. Yet the magic acorn, there was something strange about it, even among things...

They had answered a call to arms, of sorts. Certainly a call to action. There was something very odd going on in the Lori, and the Elders of Desnind wished to find out what it was. What could be causing it, and ... well... what the heck was going on, really.

The forest shivered with the laughter of hundreds of the beasts. Screeching, cackling, hooting. Pygmy Marmosets surrounded him, and even above through the canopy. Fluffums didn't like them. Had never abided the things. The large Yarofko sow was a hard case about the monkeys....
