The Greatest Adventure
20 March, 2008
I have made a promise I must fulfil for the sake of my honour. I will once more don the cape of the adventurer and head out into the world one last time to retrieve a treasure so wholesome, so wonderful, it requires one of a special breed to fetch it. I do this for my friend and companion who has me make this promise on her indefinite resting place, for her I must fetch the only treasure that may bring her back from the coma that now haunts her.
February 14 2008 (Expedition day)
Today I set out on my final adventure, whether I return or not will truly determine how much I love my sweetheart. I equip my utility belt with all the tools needed for my mission, torch, pocket knife, rope and of course, most importantly, my currency holder.
As I strap on my utility belt, I grab my car keys and my cape, so that other adventurers may recognize me and aid me on my quest. As I enter my car I face my first challenge on my journey to my prize, I’m nearly out of petrol. I will have to make a side journey to the Gasoline traders before continuing on my quest.
I arrive at one of the gasoline trader camps, these are from the Engen tribe, a generally reliable bunch they sometime try to take your change. I will have to keep my eyes out for this. Once my tank is filled up I give my trader an offering of goodwill then continue on my way.
The Problem with my quest at this point is that the gold I seek is the rarest of all its forms and this is why my journey is so tricky, I will therefore head to the likeliest of locations, the emporium of all treasures. My journey takes me to the Wholesale traders who like to collectively call themselves Macro, an appropriate name considering the size of their establishment. I run through the aisles becoming lost several times until I see my treasure in the distance-the ever elusive TUC. I retrieve my treasure quickly, removing the last of the money in my coin purse to do so.
My journey is now nearly over and I head back to my fortress where I administer the crunchy goodness unto my love so that she may awake. After she awakes we properly break our fast for the day and I put up my cape for I am an adventurer no more, but who knows these things for sure because we are nearly out of cereal?
