Four

A Feast of Tsrrin Story:

It is told that once, Umbrionn (the Hawk) arrived on the shores of a distant land. At this land there was a great war and feud that had lasted a thousand years. Umbrionn causally walked to the great and barren valley where the war was being fought. The soil was scorched and the sand bloody for here this war was fought for its thousand years. Umbrionn left the next night, the appointed king of this land with its people now united in peace.

It is told that once, Helios (the Owl) did not move for two hundred years. During this time a young farmer girl was born. She passed Helios under his tree everyday. When she grew older and became curious she asked him, "What are you doing?" With the brim of the hat over his face and without pause he replied, "Waiting." Because he had been in the same spot for over a hundred years the grass and brush had grown around him, making him hidden to all those that passed. And one day the little girl had grown into a woman, pregnant with child. As she passed by his tree a group of bandits intent on murder approached the woman. It was now that Helios stood and lifted the brim of his hat to meet the bandits with his eyes. His gaze was so determined that it is said it killed the bandits instantly. Helios began walking down the road. The woman asked, "What are you doing?" With a slight nod from the brim of his hat he replied without pause, "Leaving." The woman would soon give birth to a boy who would become a man, and this man would destroy a empire and set the world free.

It is told that once, Eden (The Dove) could defeat any opponent that stood before her. She would walk from village to village, city to city, country to country, her hands clasped behind her back. Sword, spear, arrow, or knife, it didn't matter. Always would Eden be victorious. One day, after years of this behavior she saw a beggar girl in the street with a book held in her tiny and dirty hands and Eden said to her, "Be proud, you possess the greatest weapon ever made." The beggar girl stood up that day and it took her years to learn, but this girl did learn to be proud and strong. And this girl would become a woman who would write a book titled, "Life."

It is told that once, Arbitur (The Raven) stood before the tallest mountain in the world. He asked a villager, "What is on the other side of this mountain?" The villager smirked, "No one knows for no man will over pass over it." This is the last time Arbitur asked anyone a question. It was here some say that he grew black wings and flew over its peak. Others say that he said to the mountain, "Move" and it obeyed. Only one thing is known for sure and that is that Arbitur continued to do what others said no man could.
