"Fierce
lions stalked the quivering lamb, seeking to sate their bloody hunger, sent to
the disaster of Inar the shepherd by cruel An-shalad, the devious god of
strife. Preying upon the weak mortal Inar, An-shalad, wishing to sate his
cruelty, violent and callous, stalked the quivering shepherd."

"Bravado
and arrogance will only lessen my desire to aid you," scoffed the wizard.
"Very
well," said the warrior, his boast complete, "then I shall
demonstrate my skill and valour in martial feats,"
"You
have no need, for I am certain those will not convince me either," the
wizard said, "I can tell that you are accomplished in battle, the victor
of brawls and the slayer of men. These things still do not encourage me to give
you aid however."
"Then
if neither mighty words nor mighty acts can sway you, what will win me your
aid?" cried the warrior, desperate now.
The
wizard smiled and gently spoke, his challenge complete, "Humility. For you
have shown me that you do not know all or speak all. All people have need of
allies, for none are great. I will aid you now, though I had scoffed
before."
