Brooks Danger of Flowers (#14603)

Owner: 0x633E…2491

PREVIOUSLY...

Hello there. I'm Brooks, Danger of Flowers.

You are probably asking yourself, right at this moment - who is Brooks, Danger of Flowers?

Well. I am glad you asked.

He's a dashing warrior with a really cool headband.

He's a handsome bard who has misplaced his dearest musical instrument. He's an old friend of Wizard #239, with whom he holds a dark oath.

He's an important narrative driver, with important narrative drives - remember back when I told you about how I lost my musical instrument?

Character development...

Speaking of character development, it's about time I clarified what's been going on with The Resplendent Lance Company. Things have gotten unclear, so before we proceed, let's do some catching up!

Once upon a time, Wild Mage was one of the 10,000 summoned to the Runiverse. He settled in Elysium, which was a pretty nice place, but all of this never sat right with him. He didn't understand what he didn't understand about why he was there. Very pathos!

He wandered the Runiverse for a time, trying to make sense of his existence. He did this mostly by falling for the trap of seeking knowledge and forging friendships and alliances, but doing it with the intention of seeking power. How predictable!

In this search for certainty of his place in the Runiverse, he formed a small posse of wizards on horseback to rid The Wild of the bandits and highwaymen that long plagued it; though, they also did it to establish a turf.

From there, Wizard #239, Wizard #2029, Wizard #5016, Wizard #4104, and Wizard #1017 got into all sorts of things - such as finding a cockatrice egg deep in The Wild, spying on the Blue Wizard Bastion, hostilities within the group because of Wild Mage's machinations and intentions, and all of the friends they made along the way!

It was all a good time until a Blue Wizard, one of their own, turned out to be spying on what once was Feral of the Untamed...

PREVIOUSLY PT II

Look, yes, there is a crybaby backstory to the various betrayals between Wizard #239 and Wizard #1017, but I'm not that kind of bard. That's not my genre, my guy. Moving on -

Wild Mage ordered Ulysse and [REDACTED] to spy on the Blue Wizards after noticing what they felt was an alarming number of Baby Wizards with their own adrenochrome vials in the surrounding areas.

This led Wild Mage and his cohorts to investigate, only to reveal that one of the Blue Wizards had developed an adrenochrome removal method from Baby Wizards that did not cause them any physical harm. Still, this did not sit right with some of Feral of the Untamed, nor did it sit right with some Blue Wizards.

Throughout the course of this spying, Wild Mage's crew had been taking the opportunity to "borrow" blueprints from the labs of Blue Wizard Bastion.

This did not go unnoticed by the spymasters of the Bastion.

Was Ulysse originally a double agent, and for how long, or did he become one much later on? Look, I'm asking you - I may be the bard, but both Wild Mage and Ulysse won't speak further on the matter...

But what we do know is that...

Wild Mage, along with Wizard #2029 and Ulysse, was to meet with representatives of the Blue Wizard Council to address the growing numbers of bugbear raiders in The Fey. Instead, Wild Mage and Apollo were seized and bound at this meeting. Much talk and threats ensued, resulting in the decision by the Blue Wizard spymasters to throw Wild Mage and Apollo into the Quantum Shadow as an example, and to apprehend the rest of Feral of the Untamed.

What no one expected was what happened to Wild Mage and Apollo and what emerged from the timespace anomaly that is The Quantum Shadow.
