The Epitome quest


He stepped forward
-Invisible
Slowly dissipated in rhythm with word
She looked around
Searching for a plausible cause

An overly pronounced Ahh
punctuating his appearance
A wry smile trundled across his lips

-there is power in words

and I am Float
and you are Epitome

Someone has stolen a word
and we need you to find it
The only problem no one knows what it is….

Why float, a look of question frowning on her face

I created it-he replied it’s actually my first one
He carried on
We have three days
By that time you need to choose

Choose.choose what, she asked

The words you need on your quest
Courage has volunteered
We can’t find fear
and Whimsy is chasing a butterfly in a field
