an old man walks in, leaning heavily on his cane. he takes an old gaunlet from from his coat. he holds it momentarily at arms length. his arm quivers with the effort. he drops it. it hits the floor with a clatter and rolls slightly. the inlays of gold and platinum can be faintly seen in the dark iron.
\"all you who tell us stories,\" he says. \"i lay this challenge at your feet. tell us your best, we the people will decide the rest.\"
he turns around, and leaves.
