The Jesk looked across the crowd and replied to the question. "You wish to know how the witch became Cursed? Well, that sure is one big story."

By now, people were satisfied and beginning to leave.

"Oh, you wish to stay, Mr. Curious? How interesting. Well, on with the story I will go.

You remember the assassin?

Well, he was her friend.

They had heard the rumors of catching a god.

And each area of the desert had different beasts.

Many had said the desert is quite small, but you could travel through it for days and still not find your destination.

Some claimed to have traveled all across the desert, it only taking them many a year.

How did they sustain themselves?

No one knew. Many thought they were liars and cheats.

However, this pair of brother and sister

Had set out to find the gods.

Each section of the desert had one powerful god that ruled over the other clans.

They traveled to the god's land, full of mystery.

And the first god they found was a majestic Wyrm,

Mighty and powerful indeed.

The brother, Athtar, captured this beast.

But only after a great struggle.

Athtar wished to return, but his sister insisted on staying.

They traveled a bit farther, and encountered a beast.

The moment they laid eyes on it, they knew that this God was the most powerful in this section of the Cursed Lands.

It was a powerful Deer.

One that loomed above all, could crush even the mightiest of Gods.

And the sister, Aerith, wished to capture it.

And after great communing, for one could not defeat this beast, the Mighty Deer was captured.

From the other tale, the reason the king's son was able to convince Aerith to kill his sister,

Was because of the one standing next to him.

The great Piercer of Gods, the only God who was able to take human form, Forare.

For, Forare is mighty and powerful, but that is a story for another time." The Jesk finished, as the last customer left the tavern.

"One more story? Fine, fine. But only one more, Mr. Curious."
