Mystic Milo of the Veil (#1251)

Owner: 0xBF89…2D03

The Lore of Mystic Milo of the Veil

Hark inquisitive adventurer of the chain of blocks.

 If you should so wish it, an account of deeds done by this wizard of the veil shall be related to you by way of this writing upon this book of lore. Although, seek in it an explanation complete and full and you shall be met with the meaning of his title “of the veil.” Knowing this, I caution you intrepid reader, the words here are but hearsay and rumor the truthfulness of known only to Mystic Milo and his God should he have one.

 Shall we begin with the suspected origin of this wizard? I have heard a fairly consistent tale whispered amongst those who have encountered Milo. It is believed that he obtained his powers from a spring high in the mountains. It is told that in his village of birth the locals had a legend of a special flower growing atop the peak of a mountain whose shadow they lived under. The heart of our young soon to be wizard beat strong for a local lass. When he made his feelings known the girl replied that her heart was for the one who made a gift to her the flower of the mountain. So our young Milo, in the height of his energetic youth, took to the harrowing task of ascending this peak.

While the details of his journey up the mountain are lost to time, it is said that more than once his life was nearly lost. Upon reaching the summit, it is rumored that he was very badly wounded and near to shaking hands with the reaper. Milo searched about the peak and much to his sadness, atop the mountain he found no flower whatsoever. In complete exhaustion he collapsed and cursed the name of the girl who had sent him on his fool's errand. Near to him a little stream poured from the rocks and formed a small pool. And within this pool sat a frog that looked back at him with an alertness and intelligence irregular amongst animals of its kind. In his despair and near exhaustion Milo found himself now in extreme thirst. So, eyes locked with the frog, he drank from the pool. It is said that the taste of this water was extremely bitter and this bitterness seemed to quickly flow and course through Milo's veins. 

Unfortunately, this is where the account is faulty as no soul knows what next atop the mountain did occur. One month after his ascent Milo returned to his village oddly changed and unalone. He came in the company of a frog that hopped along beside him and has not left his side to this day.
