Left Eye Lost

Few people would dare to guess how Flynn came to have a patch over his left eye. Although he does not share the story often, if pressed, he will tell the tale. Especially if young ones are present who might learn from his misadventure. Flynn was on a quest to gather peat moss from the Frog Master Marsh, during his annual trip to obtain the ingredients and excipients necessary for distilling his renowned elixir. After harvesting guano from Vampyre Mist, he charted a westward path through the Thorn. By Flynn’s calculations, he would spend a fortnight navigating the treacherous terrain of the Thorn before arriving at the marsh. His motivation was the elixir, and the joy inducing results it brought to his kin. One week into the dark and thorny landscape, he noticed his supply satchel was ripped, and a third of his remaining provisions were lost. He knew that to survive he would need to make up time. He began to hike with urgency on a less than full stomach, confidently wielding his garnet staff and keeping his dear sapphire slime close to his chest. This exertion exacted a price. His fatigue was unstoppable. He lay down to rest. The Thorn is known to be uninhabitable, except for the exceptionally nimble and crafty. It is also known as a deathbed for the unsuspecting traveler. Flynn was an experienced Thorn traverser, yet his fatigue got the better of him. As he napped, a thorny vine grew rapidly and wrapped around his head and a “Lion’s claw” thorn shot directly into one of his precious orbs. He bolted upright and ripped the wicked vine from his face, but the damage was done. His left eye began bleeding profusely. He grabbed his sapphire slime and coated his wounded eye with his soothing companion. This ameliorated the pain and immediately stopped the bleeding. From thence, he has beheld the Runiverse only through his right eye, and upon his left sits a leather patch. “Young ones”, he would say, “Do not venture from the field without a companion druid. For if you do, it may be for the last time.”
