ANCIENT AVENGERS

Is it just me, or is entertainment getting out of hand these days? A storyteller from a distant land passed through my village, and the tale he told was nothing short of outrageous--perhaps some of you have heard him speak, as he seems to travel quite far. I carved a quick sketch in my tablet, but you must truly hear it to believe it.
The story is called "The Avenging Ones" (rough translation, it wasn't exact). It follows a group of demi-gods who are trying to protect Mesopotamia from destruction by evil forces. Among them are a war hero, "General Amerikkanus", a wealthy merchant, "The Man of Iron", who has created a full suit of armor and WINGS from copper, enabling him to fly--there's also "He Who Has The Eyes of a Falcon," who has some sort of romantic entanglement with "She Who Is Without Husband", and a shy philosopher who transforms into a huge crocodile when enraged, "The Hulking One." They team up with a God from a distant land (Thorus or something?) to stop his brother, a God of Chaos, from misusing a sacred artifact. Apparently the storyteller has crafted elaborate backstories for each character, which he has told in other villages. Even more unbelievable, he has like, 50 more planned! A few of my friends are obsessed with his work, and will travel from village to village to see each performance. Truthfully, I don't understand it. I've tried to keep up with the stories, but it's exhausting, and there are SO many characters, each more implausible than the next. I think the next story he's planning to tell is about a boy who gets bit by an enchanted scarab and gains the powers of a demi-god? Anyway, I just don't think this one is going to stand the test of time. People will probably forget about it by the next harvest.
