The fruit is good for cuts and stomaches. Persus is another species of herb that immigrated from the Dragonhome to the Starfall isles along with Snal plants.

Bruscatium
DRAFT
This story that I am about to recite to you happened years ago as a most odd set of events had occurred. It was actually quite interesting if you think about it but alas, the question here is-
well what is the question?

"What?"

In fact at almost any moment I could ask any sort of questions, but that is one of the most sensible questions to ask at any moment.
"My materials are worth more than that, you bloody merchant!"
"Please don't shout mr. Caulds..."
The merchant here is Galoth. Galoth takes his stuff seriously, but this costumer is just a plain idiot, and not seeing that his item is a fake. But even if it was the real deal, it would still be quite... erm what was the word for it...
"You realize this is useless to me, yes?"

Ah.

"What!?! You can't be serious, this is clearly the real deal!"
Galoth grabs the belt and opens the chunky, unfashionable, metal buckle to show that the inside was filled with dyed liquid not golden drik. In this term golden drik is something that makes armor and weapons more heavy. This however was some kind of dyed mud.
"Well, how would I know its a fa-"
The door opens, a cloaked face comes in interrupting the conflict at hand.
"Welcome! If I may you are who I believe it tis'... yes?"

Chapter 1 is done! Yay!
Sorry if the story is confusing, I promise it will make more sense in a few chapters!
(by the way the character in my icon is not the character you see at the end of the chapter.)
