The legend of corner wave Part 1: A tale of Humans and Monsters - By: Dan Meisenheimer

Once upon a time long ago, two races ruled over the earth. Humans and monsters*. For many years, they coexisted in peace. Each side usually stayed within their respective territories, and occasionally traded with each other. They both established resident embassies in each other’s capitals, and respected each other’s unique cultures.


This all ended in one stupid move. An entire world thrown into war all because of something that happened in a rather inconspicuous region known as the Ottawa Valley.


One thirsty human named George was wavering on the woods, and stumbled upon a great river. When he went to take a drink of the cool water, he was attacked by an overzealous orc. George was completely unaware that he had wandered across the commonly agreed on border. When the humans learned of this murder, they were obviously furious at the monsters, and they decided to kill any monster that came near their side of the border.


Unfortunately, one day a dragon, named Sattler, ventured too close to the border and was brutally murdered. The humans, in a display of power, dragged the body of the dragon to the great river at the top of a bit of current where that poor dragon rests to this day now petrified as the rock that forms Sattler’s hole.


When the other monsters caught wind of this, they were extremely angry, and now that both sides had lost an innocent person to the other, total war was about to break out.
