The Cup of Grants



The Cup of Grants is a tale told from the Scrolls of Her, and is known throughout all Trollkin.

Fable
"A Cup was found, and its finders sensed that it was good.

They brought it to their tribe, and they showed it to them.

Their leader read from its side, the words: Who drinketh from thine contents is granted their greatest desire .

Thus the leader drank, as by the power of the cup, his desire would come forth and be bestowed to him.

''And before them appeared a Troll. She being his deceased betrothed, and thus his desire had come.''

Another Troll drank and found before him a knife, one bestowed to him by his father, one that he had lost.

''Another Troll drank, but nothing appeared. Instead, the Troll stated," thine power of this cup is deadly, and it must be vanquished".''

As he said this, he through the cup upon the fire, and it burned.

The Trolls were angry, and beat the troll.

Thus, the gift of Wisdom had been misused".
