Myths and Legends

It must be Christmas in the Nordic countries. Today, a young officer is stuck in the city after being in a brief coma. At least there are some tales to keep him company.



😈 The Creature: Frau Gauden



The creature this week wants to give you that dog you wanted for the holidays. The catch is that it can never leave. Also, it will attack you.

Hasib is still stuck in the room with the Queen of Serpents and twelve thousand snakes, and the QoS a story to tell. Two of them, actually. Long ones. Two years' worth of stories of guys lost in the world...and two different ways of dealing with mistakes and loss. Basically, she's being a very tricky teacher.

🖤 The story of why you don't menace crows. Even if the people you're doing it to try to mess with are extremely annoying and lovey-dovey. Or, if you're single and looking, here's why you should definitely throw some rocks at some crows. It might just lead to you meeting the love of your life... sixteen years later, after several trips through an active war zone. This is the unlikely love story of Pang Noo and Uhn Hah.
