Challenge #04887-M138: Legends in the Flesh
Two centuries ago Wraithvine helped the folk of a river valley with a carnivorous fish problem. Imagine hir surprise to hear in a tavern on the far side of the continent that ze has helped them once again only a season behind and settled down in the valley with the prettiest child of the valley chieftain. Clearly this must be investigated at once… -- Deathshead419
Walk far enough and long enough, some legends say, and you will meet yourself coming the other way. Sometimes, somehow, that can come true... for interesting definitions of 'true'.
Fish River Valley used to be Blood River Valley before Wraithvine helped the people there solve the issue of the carnivorous fish. Hearing about that on the other side of the local land mass, two centuries and a decade or so after the fact, was not entirely alarming. It was a good story worthy of the penny players' stage.
It was the epilogue that struck like an assassin at midnight.
