Deep Roots

There once was a man who didn't like the small, old fashioned village in a far away corner of the kingdom where he grew up.

As soon as he was old enough, he went away, changed his name, the way he spoke and went to work in a great city. He got married and had children and never did he admit to where he had come from, declaring instead that he had been a foundling on the city's streets.

Then one day, a great disaster struck - the Earth shook, and the man became trapped with many others in the cellar of a building that had collapsed on top of them.

Everyone was terrified and no-one knew what to say or do, and it was then that to the man, there came a memory of an old song of his people, one that calls to the ancient Gods for help.
