The Warlock and the Giant

A long time ago, in a land far away, there lived a boy who lived on Kitchen Island in a cottage. Time passes and he grew up. As the boy grew up, he got bored on Kitchen Island, because nothing ever happened. So he decided to journey to away on a ship and seek his fortune. He travelled to the Kingdom of Appalonia, landing in a port. There he met many people as he tried to figure out what it was he was going to do in this strange and distant land.

He came upon a priest, out in the woods. The priest, who took a liking to the boy, offered to teach him what he knew bout arcane lore. Thereupon the boy embarked with the priest upon a journey to learn the fell secrets of sorcery.

Years later, the young man had undergone a transformation and become a wizard. He had learned a great many spells. But in that time, his old master had become blind and, finally died. The man was very sad, having seen his mentor die. He decided to look for his mother, who had long ago died.

As he was travelling along, looking for her, he got into an argument with a man in a bar. The argument escalated into a fight. They threw spells around for awhile, and it landed our hero in jail. Luckily, some sassy little wench broke him out of prison.

The sassy little wench told him that she would help him find his dead mother, who was a very nice queen. The wizard was happy, finally having discovered who his mother is. The wench knew this because she and the wizard were actually brother and sister. The wizard said “That’s nice,” and then left. Off into the forest he went, because he didn’t like his sister at all (she was kind of ugly). But she followed him. So off into the forest they went.

In the forest, they met a fairy. The fairy told the man that if he could slay the giant, she would grant his wish, and bring him to his mother. But he could not use his magic; he must use an axe. The wizard accepted this challenge and went to slay the giant. The giant was asleep, but was really a giant giant, the size of a mountain. He ran up with the axe and tried to smack the giant with it, but the axe broke into a million pieces. This woke the giant up. Luckily for the man, the giant wasn’t too sad, as he was actually a giant child. And so the wizard played with the giant for awhile, but eventually they parted company.

As the giant watched them leave, he turned to his short little mother who gave him a gift for being such a nice person. She told him that if someone attacks him, he should ask why first. From that point on, the giant child listened to his mother’s advice from then on.
