Title: The Beginning

What are you doing with this, are you crazy?
This ball isn't a toy!

What's the matter, it's just an old ball of wool, Papycha. And it smells like a Gobball.

My little Jojo, let me tell you it's not just an ordinary ball of wool.
It belonged to the god Ecaflip himself!

God Ecaflip? Not a chance, what would he even need it for?

It's a sacred item! In my day, every disciple of Ecaflip was given one when they joined the temple.
Ecaflip himself had his own.
The two of us, we'd spend hours playing pelota.

Go for it, Keke, give it your all.

You'll see. Take this!

You're underestimating me, my Keke.
All right, my turn.
In one throw, I'll show how a real pro does it.
Shukruted pelota!
Well, Keke, are you mopping the floor?

It's not fair, you're cheating. You have four arms.

No I don't!

That was well played. Few players would have caught that.
You've got a bright future, kitten.

Hey, guys! Charlie is back!

Charlie was a former disciple who had left the temple one year earlier to become an adventurer.
He had traveled to the four corners of the World of Twelve, achieving what we considered then to be incredible feats.
He had tamed the terrible Moowolf... with his bare hands.
Beaten the famous Cawwot Head at a game of cards.
And managed to capture the Sram, Walker-through-Walls.
And that was the exact moment when I knew what I wanted to do in life.

Meow! And what about our game? I tell you, they don't have any manners, disciples today...

Your turn, Keke!

You know what? I'll be the greatest adventurer in the World of Twelve!
That's a good one!
Why don't you play instead of telling jokes, Keke, it's your turn.

I'm not joking!
I'm going to leave, I want to become an adventurer! A great hero like Charlie!

Leave? My poor Keke, that would be suicide!
You wouldn't last two days out there. You're too unlucky.

Unlucky? But I'm the only disciple who passed his confirmation!

The Strich egg?
That was rigged, little Keke!
Anyway, it was child's play compared to what's out there.

And yet you let Shcoumoune go, didn't you?
And he's younger than me, and not as strong! There's no reason to...

You want a good reason? I'll give you one!
The Sacred Tarot.
Draw a card, Keke, come on.
Flip it.
The card of Misadventure!
See? Tarot never lies!
Enough of that. Now play.
I win again!
You're a sore loser!

Who does he think I am? I'm a hero!
I'm not unlucky! I'm the luckiest... Ow!

When I was your age, I wanted to go on an adventure too.

That's nasty!

But no one could cook the fish as well as I did.
So Ecaflip commanded me to stay at the temple as his personal chef.

What? But... you never tried to leave, to get out, to flee... something?

One cannot discuss the great Ecaflip's decisions!
When you're my age, you'll understand.
Ah, it's time. Our god must be hungry.

I understood. Ecaflip didn't want to let me go.
In order to leave, I would have to be crafty.

So you're trying to leave without my consent?
I thought I had been clear.

Clear as a Gobball's butt!

Your insolence is appalling, little Keke.
You're grounded! And cleaning duty for you!
Garbage duty!
Kitty goes in his cage!
You'll stay there as long as it takes!

Escape didn't work, but I wasn't done.
I could still go for expulsion.

Heavens, where did my ball go?
I'm sure it was right there.

I think I saw it under the pillows, up there.

Oh! Thank you, Keke.
No more Mimilk, and no more fish!
KERUUUUUUB!
Maintenance duty. You'll repaint the entire temple.
I want it to shine. I want it to be art, Keke.
Got it? Art!

So, did you work well? Let's see this.
KERUUUUUUB!

Good evening, kiddos! My name's Eca.
I'm pink, like a Gobball's butt!
[??]
I'm a god, I do what I want!
I'm the best, and everyone must bow before...
Hey, come back guys! I'm not done!

To win this game, I only had one idea left.
A dangerous idea. Double or nothing.

Kerub? What... What is this now?

Hm? Oh, this? That's nothing, I just converted to god Iop.
That means I'm no longer your disciple, so I'm leaving.

The god Iop? What!?
I hope you're kidding!

Er, no, why? Nice wig, uh?
It's made of wool. I needed your whole ball to make it.

WHAT? THAT... THAT'S... MY BALL!
OUT OF MY SIGHT, RASCAT! YOU ARE BANISHED!
ECAFLIP'S WORD, IF I SEE YOU AGAIN AROUND THESE PARTS I WILL EAT YOU, YOU HEAR ME!?

Um... Actually, don't worry. I used my own ball to make the wig.
Yours is right here in my bag, I must have put it there after our last game.
Here, catch!

Bluff... You bluffed to get me to expel you.
All right, enough, you win.
Go. Leave me.
I'll end up alone anyway.
Don't leave me, Kerub!
I beg you, I beg you! Don't leave me!
What will I become without you?
Who will I play with, now?

Well, you still have plenty of disciples, talented and much luckier than I am.

No, no! You're the best, my Keke!
No one plays cards like you do!
Stay! I beg you!
Just one last game! One last game...

A counter-bluff, right? You're trying to counter-bluff me, aren't you?

You smarty-pants!
Hey, kiddo!
You won't go very far without a ball...
With your bad luck. Catch!

Wow! That's your own ball, Ecaflip!
Thank you! Thanks for everything!

And grab a shield to defend yourself. And a sword to attack.
And why not some plate armor?
Now you have everything you need.
You're only short of a good meal. Adventurers never leave on an empty belly!
Actually you know what? I'll come with you on your first adventure.
Just to put you on the right track.

And that is how the god Ecaflip's ball came into my possession.

Can I go on an adventure with your ball too, then, Papycha?

Don't be such a Iop, Joris!
