CHAPTER 6: The Malphas Memos: Sizzilian Protocol

THE MAGNIFICENT PIGLETS OF PIGLETSVILLE

Picking up where we left off in Pigletsville, we are drawn to the serene beauty of the hamlet, nestled amidst rolling hills and verdant pastures nourished by the invigorating flow of the Taddy Torrent. In this tranquil setting resides Willie, a humble orphan whose spirit transcends his modest stature, nurtured within the warm camaraderie of the Bourby Gambit Guild. Our dear piglets, akin to flickering sparks dancing around a crackling campfire on a crisp autumn eve, are entwined in tales brimming with vitality, each echoing a spirited pursuit of Somewhere guided by an elusive Someone, steeped in the quest for genuine depth—all cocooned within the tender embrace of an unseen Whisper. This harmonious symphony resonates at the heart of the hamlet’s revered legend, the enchanting Ballad of Sagelia.

Now, enter Deep Pen, a shadowy syndicate of sinister influencers (“The Syndicate”) lurking in the depths of Pigletsville. Though they wield power, they themselves are under a baton of ancient masters of cunning, forged in the noxious fumes of Animas Aberratas—the darkest realm of preternatural power. Their very essence is the absence of that which is good, true and beautiful, which is to say, they are at war with the Whisper of the Unseen.

How, you surely must ask, did magnificent piglets endowed with so much good find themselves in such an oppressed condition? That is the question of the moment. And here it shall be answered.
