A curious discovery...
Whilst investigating the City of Oasis, in a dimly lit and abandoned corridor of Malik Museum, I happened across an old curiosity.
Gently wiping the dust from it I discovered a brightly coloured sarcophagus. After wondering what to do with it, I figured I would drag it back to Balefort Castle and put it in the Consignment Store for a gold cap.
I tried heaving it along but it was massive and weighed a ton! Far too heavy for little me to deal with and I dropped it roughly on the ground.
From within, strange sounds emerged....distant and echoey “Hai”s and “Bai”s and the odd “Dude” so I decided to throw caution to the wind and open it and see what lurked within.
Carefully I lifted the lid and, as it was removed, a large and ancient mummy crawled slowly from its tomb. Staggering slightly and swaying as it became accustomed to its surroundings, I examined it in detail.
Elderly and withered? Most definitely! Damp and musty smelling? For sure! Hideous and scary? Without a doubt!
I took the liberty of having this bizarre creature carbon dated. Apparently it is celebrating its 2500th birthday this very day!
Please join with me in wishing this very ancient, crusty specimen of the human race, The Sadness, a very Happy Birthday! Best wishes from <Smile> and the pocket legend community.
