The Last Druid: [The Ruin]
The fraggin' idiots don't understand nothin'. For Perd's sake, they call me a druid! Any bod worth's juices would know 'at a'druid could grow a plant...not use one as'a well. Gah! Fraggin' idiots. Well, whaddya s'pect. Since th' stars fell and the whole pecked planet went always nuts...lestwiles that's how I hears it told...bod's've gone to pot. Most bod's're beasts now, really, slaverin', flesh-hungry, mindless retches that'll rip a leg off just as quickly as give a grin.
That's why me an' Gertrude here are together. Gertrude's special...lestwiles to me. S'far as I can tell, she's th' last livin' plant in the Ruin and she's MINE. If'n ya don't believe me, just try'an'takes her. That's what this here Flea is for. Oh, I know. It don't look like much'a'tall, but just 'cause a gun's small don't mean it ain't got a helluva kick, and Flea, well, let's just say that once a bod's bit by this lil monster, well, they wont's be kickin' 'round too much anymore.
So, yea, Gertude and me are what some might call ka'nek'ted. Truths be told, if it weren't fer her, I'd be a gonner. But that's'a story for 'nother day. Maybe with a few more pulls of that gutgrog, I'd says more. Gertrude saved me and continues to give me her life force...that's what keep's me suckin' air good and what powers my knack, ya see. But it's a high-wire act...if'n I pulls too much of her life, then the well goes dry. If the well goes dry, well, then we're both goners.
But...why'dya care 'bout all this stuffs anyways? And, what's in th' Ruin's'at needle fer.............

Author's Note: This one is completely unauthorized and unofficial. I've been following the artist, jouste, for quite some time now and I greatly admire his work, his artistic range, and his amazing rate of production. Definitely the kind of artist that I would love to work or collaborate with someday. Who knows? Regardless, his amazing pieces inspire me and I thought I would use one, Last Druid, as inspiration for today's post. I pray jouste is not offended. :)
