Ah, Grodra's errand? You came to hear an old tale, didn't you?

I'll tell you a story. It's a very old story, not everyone's cup of tea, perhaps, but it's one my grandmother used to tell me.

Worried it won't be entertaining? Don't worry. It'll be a pleasant distraction.

So, long long ago. In a time long past, there lived a blacksmith...

Here you are again for Gudra's errand. Quite diligent, aren't you.

You said the stories I tell are alright, didn't you?

I'm glad if it helps Gudra.

How far did we get in the story? Is it time for a new tale today?

Oh, the last story wasn't finished yet, was it? My memory's a bit foggy.

Did I mention the blacksmith riding an owl down from the sky?

Right, my memory serves me well.

Then please tell the next part. The pitiful nymph...

There's not much excitement in my life now, but telling old tales to young children is enjoyable.

I'm very grateful to have someone to listen. Blessings upon them.
