¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ LIKE THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY. A DARK ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ FIGURE EMERGED FROM A TAVERN AFTER A ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ FEW YEARS APPRENTICESHIP, WITH AN IDEA. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ IT WAS ILLEGAL TO SELL FOOD IN THE ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ REGION FOR EVERYBODY EXCEPT THAT TAVERN. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨

¨¨¨¨^~:§$§ OF A CART, NOT STAYING IN THE SAME §$§:~^¨¨¨¨

¨^~:§$§¶## NIGHT SHE POACHED. ##¶§$§:~^¨
¨¨^~:§$§¶# #¶§$§:~^¨¨
¨¨¨^~:§$§¶ AFTER A FEW YEARS, MARIGOLDS FOOD CART ¶§$§:~^¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨^~:§$§ HAD A REPUTATION. SHE CALLED IT §$§:~^¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨^~:§$ ^¨ THE GOLDEN M ¨^ $§:~^¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨^~:§ AND PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT THE GOLDEN M. §:~^¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~: THE OLD TAVERN HAD THEIR MONOPOLY AND :~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~ DIDN'T CHANGE THEIR MENU MUCH. ~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^ MARIGOLDS SECRET LIZARD FOODCART WAS ^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ NEW AND FRESH. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ HOWEVER, SHE BECAME A LITTLE TOO WELL ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ KNOWN. THE TAVERNS MEN HOT ON HER ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ TRAIL, SHE COULD STAY A SHORTER AND ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ SHORTER TIME IN EACH LOCATION. SHE FELT ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ HUNTED. AND SOON ENOUGH THERE CAME A ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ TIME WHEN THEY STARTED WATCHING FOR HER ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ AT THE GATES OF EVERY VILLAGE. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^ ^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨

¨^~:§$§¶## CURSED ENTREPRENEUR (THEY ALL ARE ##¶§$§:~^¨
¨¨^~:§$§¶# (CURSED, I MEAN)) AND AS SUCH HE OF #¶§$§:~^¨¨
¨¨¨^~:§$§¶ COURSE THOUGHT IT A GOOD IDEA TO FOLLOW ¶§$§:~^¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨^~:§$§ IN MARIGOLDS FOODSTEPS. §$§:~^¨¨¨¨

¨¨¨¨¨¨^~:§ HE WASN'T ALL THAT OF A COOK, AND EVEN §:~^¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~: THOUGH SOME RECOGNIZED THE GOLDEN M, HE :~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~ QUICKLY FELL INTO INFAMITY. HOWEVER HE ~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^ WAS KIND OF A HARDHAT AND DIDN'T STOP ^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ TRYING. THE TAVERN DIDN'T CARE FOR HIM ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ SINCE NOBODY BOUGHT HIS FOOD ANYWAY ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ (AND ALSO THEY HAD EXPANDED TOO ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ QUICKLY, SUCCUMBED TO CORRUPTION, AND ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ WAS IN THE PROCESS OF FALLING APART). ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ANGRY AT EVERYONE FOR NOT UNDERSTANDING ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ HIS FOOD, HE VOWED TO LEAVE ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ KIRUGU VARGIR ENTIERLY. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨

¨¨¨¨^~:§$§ WE DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT HOW HE TRAVELED §$§:~^¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨^~:§$§¶ OR WHERE, BUT EVENTUALLY HE ENDED UP ON ¶§$§:~^¨¨¨
¨¨^~:§$§¶# EARTH IN THE FIFTIES. #¶§$§:~^¨¨
¨^~:§$§¶## UPON FINDING OUT THAT EARTH HOLDS NO ##¶§$§:~^¨
¨¨^~:§$§¶# EDIBLE LIZARDS, HE SETTLED FOR COW MEAT #¶§$§:~^¨¨

¨¨¨¨^~:§$§ LIKED IT! §$§:~^¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨^~:§$ $§:~^¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨^~:§ THEN HE GOT SCAMMED OUT OF THE CART BY §:~^¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~: A MAN NAMED MICKEY MAC DONALDS, WHO :~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~ RENAMED THE BUSINESS AFTER HIMSELF. ~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨

¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ FUNNELED HIS INHERITED BILLIONS INTO ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
