The Arrival of Spring
With the coming of the spring weather came many things -- the warm rays of the sun, sweet, fresh rains to water the crops, the return of songbirds and the birth of cattle and livestock -- but one thing was a bit different this year in the wood.
It seems that the venerable Councilor Treadwell had found his property invaded by a family of lemurs, quite similar to his recently adopted pet. Taking up residence in the trees around his estate, the tiny prosimians had taken quite a liking to the fat man's land.
Sir`j, Treadwell's lemur, on the other hand -- who should have been the most annoyed by this encroachment of territory, actually took quite well to the other lemurs and can often be seen playing and having mock stink-fights with the other animals, often resulting in a very smelly animal when it finally came back indoors for its evening meal.
Of course, this was vexing to old Master Treadwell, who both had been trying desperately to fatten his little catmonkey up, but suffered from the unwanted and unwarranted invasion of his property by a large number of these small primates.
The worst of it is, this was not the only family of lemurs that had suddenly taken up residence in the Wood. Reports around town had state that a number had popped up around the Broken Dagger and other areas in Myrken Wood as well, though no where nearly as large as the concentration of about a baker's dozen lemurs living in the trees surrounding the Treadwell home.
Why these lemurs had come to call Myrken Wood home, no one would know -- but the more pressing question was -- where did they come from?!
