For Rathcliffo our messenger...in memoriam.

The ceremony of the games began but we had a lamentable incident to regret. Our ceremony began with a chosen celebrity (well known person in my domain) serving as messenger running through the kingdom with a torch in hand symbolizing the messenger Hermes and his karma.

The celebrity spoke the words: "I bring word of the biggest and most united game for all the world to enjoy and our queen wants you to participate". These words were recited to every member of our community by Rathcliffo the messenger before the inauguration of the ceremony. Rathcliffo carried the torch and received a good overload on food to its stomach by a person of our community who wanted to do so. Then Rathcliffo went again on route for the next house.

But words reached my ears that our little celebrity Rathcliffo who was aparently well loved by our female population began to feel quizzy at one of his stops and died. I thought at first that he had contrived to exist upon the smallest possible portion of the weakest possible food, that it sickened from want and cold or fell into the dark from neglect or got half smothered by accident.


The information received confirmed my first assumption but worse: he hath been invited to feast but seduced and forced afterwards by a male who enjoyed cooking in one of the houses he visited. This is punishable by law under my government. And thus began our questioning.

The investigation concluded the motive was a passionate revenge. The entire meal contained belladonna which is a powerful narcotic and can slay a person if the subject ingest it and neglect its use. Later on, the male fingers for desert contained the quantity that took his life. He also choke to death on one. Aparently he was trying to chow it up in one whole gulp but the male finger made too much pressure on his trachea. Rathcliffo was the first to go.

He was our first choice in the inauguration of the games although not intended for competing. He was the first running, the first grave. Rathcliffo, the games are dedicated to you, wether you are in hades or eden!
