Eljay nodded along as Maia explained to him all the different storytelling games, but admittedly he wasn't able to keep up quite as well. He'd forgotten most of them by the time Epic started telling the story.

In Epic's story things immediately started off difficultly, as a bunch of characters were introduced. Four of them! Eljay only remembered that one was named Pig and one was called J.J. Cool, so he decided he'd have to do something with those characters if he did anything with a character in his story. Or deftly move around them. Anyway, a villain was introduced next by Wraen, called.. .. .. Something.. very.. difficult. Eljay had no clue how he would ever remember this but he nodded awkwardly at Wraen, deciding that faking it would be the easiest way to go. He didn't want to hold up the story too much, after all.

Admittedly, Eljay didn't actually realise that the heroes were named after all of them. If he did, then he probably would not have used J.J. Cool so much in his story. Oh, it was his turn now! A wizard. Who had created a giant dragon. Who was trying to... to... Eljay was silent for about a minute, looking contemplative as he tried to think of the right words to use, for something, well, original. Unfortunately for Eljay, he wasn't the best at being original. He loved stories, but he wasn't a very good storycrafter from scratch.

Who had attempted to... to... who wanted to kill the four heroes with the use of the dragon. It was a lot easier using elements that were already in the story than coming up with something new. Eljay felt as if he was cheating a bit by reciting other peoples' bits rather than coming up with original content but that stuff was hard. So he continued: But the heroes were determined, so they... So... Then Pig uhm, Pig did a... thing... where he and J.J. Cool made a plan on how they could kill the dragon. You see, they uhm... Even though Eljay still looked contemplative and was desperately buying time so that he could come up with better story elements, this would perhaps be a good moment for the next wolf to chime in.
