7) Once upon a time, there was a
Jungo named Carrotus.
Carrotus was gifted with the sweetest and most perfect voice that anyone had ever heard. Every evening, Carrotus would sing to the
Jungo and all their battle rage of the previous day would fade away and they would sleep the sleep of a thousand dreams.
Until one day, a wandering musician, lost in the jungle, heard the sweet singing of Carrotus. His name was
Varoslav and he meant to steal away Carrotus. But
Varoslav could not possibly just waltz into the Freak's den and
take Carrotus from under their noses, now, could he?
Instead, he sought advice from
Baldovino, a powerful illusionist and magician.
Baldovino pondered the quandary.
"Why come to the
Jungo, when the
Jungo could come to you?". "Feed Carrotus this carrot and after it has eaten it, speak this Hex aloud."
Baldovino wrote something on a scrap of paper and handed it to
Varoslav, as if prescribing medication.
"Carrotus will be your slave for all time". He concluded.
So that very night,
Varoslav lured Carrotus away from the
Jungo with the carrot that
Baldovino had given him. And spoke the Curse, that
Baldovino had called a Hex, from the scrap of paper.
"43,61,6E,64,6C,65,73,74,69,63,6B" He exclaimed exactly.
A strange curse to be sure,
Varoslav was positive that such a wierd jumble of letters and numbers could never hold such magical properties as to bend someone or something to his will. Could they?
