I'll have to apologize though, no bible drop this time, since I just got here I don't want to waste everyone's time waiting for me to write 6000 words.>>5790145"The apes truly have no sense of equity, not an honest bone in their bodies, at least not these new bloods. I'm sure their ancestors look down on them with disappointment. This town should've had a monument to every Knight, a history for every telling of the story. Not this cynical ape worship that is only exists because the knuckle draggers happen to be on top at this moment in time" Mog said in disgust.
When he'd gathered himself he walked the boardwalk, taking in the lake air. At least the apes didn't spoil the natural beauty of this place. Refreshed, Mog turned back to answer his charge. "My history is poor, so I can only recount the basics. I know there were two great wolf leaders that participated in this battle. Headstrong prince Calumn, loose adherent of the red god, Mars. And exiled priestess of the Twinned Goddesses, Vitilia. From what I recall, Vitilia is said to have played a more supportive role, healing the other Knights, and binding the great wyrm's wings with magic so that it could not take flight and reign hellfire down upon us mammals. Calumn is who wolf historians remember as landing the killing blow. Depending on who you ask, the killing blow was either a mighty blow to the liver, or exsanguination when Calumn leapt up and slashed the wyrm's throat" he recounted. The elder paused to work his jaws and swallow, even this short story would be a mouthful.
Having worked out the soreness in his jaw, he continued "I've heard the apes say they landed the killing blow to the heart, and that they contest the throat slash, saying that it was too high for even the obscenely gifted Calumn to leap and that examination of both wounds after the battle revealed both blows to have been too shallow owing to the ergonomics of how we wolves have to hold our weapons, makes us poor at stabbing apparently. Both our species agree that that both strikes did occur though, I've heard wolves familiar with history say that we actually did land the death blow and that the dragon died from shock and blood loss from those wounds but that the apes mistook their hero's strike for the fatal blow because it was the one that actually incapacitated the beast and ended the fight, they apparently missed the actual heart though."
Shrugging, he walked up to the mural, putting his paw on the paint, traced the outlines of the sacred heroes. "As for what happened afterwards? Vitilia resumed her exile in pilgrimage, and Calumn overthrew his father for the throne. The guy turned out to be a real tyrant, the ancient Emperor Clayton of his day. Eventually Vitilia returned from her exile at the behest of the clans, bringing with her southern bureaucracy,-
