There was a planet called Uchinao, one of those many city-world planet-cities as the galaxy could count if it had a single pinky or something such.
Whatever, Leh’Min’Ayd felt more comfortable pondering the machinations of single-digit city-planets than she did listening to her tour guide.
The overhead music did well to provide a melody that overrode the mundane mediocrity of said tour guide's speech patterns.
“Over here is the most triumphant statue of Argonakiss the Argonite,” so spoke Grandmother. Said tour guide was everyone’s grandmother, Lem reckoned, and probably spent her nights sipping tea in the attic.
“Is Argonakiss an acklay?” Asked some idiot teenager.
“An acklay is an amphibious reptilian crustacean,” corrected some fellow student.
“Then what’s an Argonite?” Asked the next dumbass.
“Clearly an Argonite is one of the ruling factions of Uchinao when its peoples were still killing each other with swords and shields,” rolled the eyes of Leh’Min’Ayd the Lemonade.
“Are…” Some boy drooled. “...Are you a wizard?”
“No, no, I just read the placards that most people don’t.” Lem pointed to the base of the statue that told a whole lot more than what she just said.
“Bu-But…shields are for blocking, not killing!” Queue Captain Correction.
Lem sighed. “If I swing a shield in your general direction and bash your face in—” She would have continued had someone not interrupted her.
