The Reaver Road

Well met, traveler! Since you are going in my direction, why don't we walk on together for a while? If luck is with us, perhaps we shall overtake Omar before nightfall, if that pirate of an innkeeper spoke true . . .
You say you have never heard of Omar? Why, he is the finest storyteller alive! His tale of the God of War is a marvel. Heroes, and villains, and gods — what's that you say? Yes, of course there is a beautiful maiden — it would be a poor tale, else. And for all the clash of armies and the great deeds of the mighty, it's a story to make you laugh out loud.
Omar himself swore that every word was true — but I own I am puzzled over that . . . No matter, step lively now, friend. Omar is probably just up the road a piece, with a tale to make the miles take wing . . .
