Nibbs Danger of the Realm

Nibbs and his husband, Wulang, were fierce dragonslayers in the realm that they are from. Famous for their exploits and for keeping their world safe, the two often adventured together, spreading love and safety to all.

Well...until they met a dragon they couldn't take on. The legendary Black Dragon Eldu.

Eldu was not of this realm or time, and where it was from, no one could be sure. What they did know was that the dragon was cunning, brutal and ruthless. Eldu had Nibbs and Wulang's daughter kidnapped to lure them to his lair.

Once there, Eldu took off through a fiery red portal, leaving the two warriors behind without their beloved child. Without a second thought, Nibbs went charging after.

"Nibbs, you know what happens if you step through that portal!!" Dennz shouted after Nibbs as headed to the big, fiery portal.

"Yeah, I know. I can't come back...but what's the point of coming back if there's nothing to come back to?" Nibbs said as he steeled himself for the upcoming journey.

Pulling his helmet down over his head, brandishing his pike and shield, Nibbs steals one last glance at his husband, and sprints into the portal, not knowing what to expect from the other side.

A bright flash of light, and he was gone. Once in the portal, it was as if time had sped up, but he couldn't move. The world around him was flying by at ludicrous speed.

At the same time, his life had flashed before his eyes, reminding him of every important aspect of the life that he willingly (but unwantingly) left behind.

And just like that...it was over.

Nibbs was no longer standing in the basement of that old, musty tower in Riean. No, he had traveled to an entirely different plane of existence. He actually made it to the Runiverse!

"Ok Nibbs, this is no time to celebrate. We must find them before it's too late..." Nibbs mumbled to himself as he did a quick inventory of his equipment.

Oh good, he thought. It was all still here, and now he had no choice but to move forward and meet his fate.

Nibbs knew very little about the Runiverse, except what he had heard in children's tales and stories from drunks at taverns.

He wasn't prepared for the world to be lush and diverse as it was. Plants he had never seen sprouted in colors he had never even seen before. Animals and insects of all shapes and sizes bustled about.

He was standing in the middle of a beautiful meadow, untouched by civilization, except for the small burnt patch of grass from where the portal had opened.

Unsure where to go now, he hefted his pike, and headed in what seemed like a good direction. He walked for what seemed like hours. He was certain he was lost as no matter how far he walked, he was still in the same meadow.

Everyone now and again, he'd change up his direction, or the speed of his pace, but ultimately, it didn't seem to make much difference.

Perhaps the meadow is magical, thought the burly furgnome, as he pondered his next steps.

While gazing into whatever world Nibbs was daydreaming in, a small jaguar cub came running out of the distance. It was injured, and hobbling, but was coming straight for Nibbs.

Within a moment, it was clear to see why. A large beast, a cross between a horse and a spider, came tearing out of the horizon behind it. The little cub skidded to a stop behind Nibbs, cowering.

And though he only had a brief moment to process, Nibbs quickly sprung into action. Lifting his pike high above his head, he spoke his love prayer in his native language, and rushed the spider horse.

(See, it's important to note here that Nibb's pike was a little magical after having slain so many dragons. When powered by his love prayer, the pike would slice through anything with ease.)

Within moments, the spider horse was just a pile of gore. Everything was covered in blood and guts, but Nibbs managed to save himself and the little cub. From this moment on, the two would be fast friends.

He was able to doctor up the jaguar cub, and within a few moments, Nibbs and his new friend took back off into the world, hoping to curb the menace that was Eldu before he ended yet another world.

The jaguar cub was his key out of the magic meadow, and soon the two would be traveling from village to village looking for information about the deadly dragon...
