"Come now child, mind your elder. Gather 'round, gather 'round! Eheheh. It was a story you asked for, aye, and it is a story you will be getting. But I will not be a-holding you when you're curled up in bed tonight, the dark robbing you of your senses, leaving you with little more than these words a-playing in your head.
"You have known of the loving Sea Father and the stern Sand Father, but what of the third? What do you know of the youngest brother? The arrogance of He who sought to rise above His elders?

"This tale begins in old Hajrah by the sea..."
