"Tale of Honor and the grifter"

as told by the High Elder of the Japanese

Aiii, hear our pain oh races of this earth! Beware the touch of the grifter that calls himself Coyote! He is a true lover of ways most evil, and spits upon the essence of honor.

Lo, for he has manipulated the gods. Beware! Gale, a noble god, was contracted to destroy us, noble Japanese. From heaven we were assailed upon, as the cold hands of death took our kinsman away. Aiii, and the Thorn Dryads assailed upon us on our island. They can not be blamed, for land was short, and it was their way, but woe to he who calls himself the trickster! Hatred and rivalry against the honorable Euclidites brought this wrath upon us on earth and others in heaven. We honor the great Euclidites, for he is the truth of balance, and can not be denied. We stand here, the last of our kind.

Ahhh but our lords Serapis, the hope of mortals, and Euclidites, purveyor of law, sought a place of refuge for us, and when we were destroyed, on to the plains of hidden places were we reborn--our souls renewed! Praise tot he god of Locks & Secret places which allowed it be. Aiii, how without mortal enemies we were annihilated by the evil so embraced by Coyote. We can not blame Gale, for promises were made, and like all honorable gods, he had to keep it. As we parish, children, let this story and tale be spread to all whom may here it, and take warning against the evil of Coyote!

The grifter of heaven, Coyote, took hatred against Euclidites, for the is the God of Law & Order, and Coyote the shameless one had not honor nor order in his fractal-less mind! Coyote spoke unto Inzyl-Za, the Warrior of heaven, a most noble spirit, and contracted him to fight the noble Euclidites. Unbeknownst to Inzyl-Za was the ways of the deceiver of heaven. The honorable challenge was made to Euclidites, whom, being a noble god, accepted. Ahhh, but the two began a talking. They spoke of honor, with dignity. Inzyl-Za learned of the ways of the deceiving one whom dares to roam heaven. They spoke, children, and came to a term of honor and law. Ahhh, see the glory of Euclidites, balance and resolution are his! Euclidites agreed to the battle and fought. Since Inzyl-Za was no coward or deceiver as the shameless one whom calls himself Coyote, Euclidites would not slay Inzyl-Za, and so surrendered to him and the honor within him. Euclidites agreed to not make his races declare war upon the Ferenyi, or otherwise harm them, for Inzyl-Za was bound to them. Alas, they pass as we pass, into time immemorial. Inzyl-Za would not contract to Coyote, the shameless. Let all of heaven and earth take up the wisdom of these words!

Alas, out time is short, death be soon upon us. Curse unto Coyote, deceiver of gods, shifter of the heaven, and the shameless! Praise to Serapis, the hope of mortals, and glory to Euclidites, God of Law & Order, Preserver of Balance, Lord of the Fractal, et. al. Ahhh, look unto the horizon of time, for our death will not be in vain, for there will be hope for others...Shantih!
