This book is titled "Bird Watching - The Beast of the Enchanted Lands, Part I". It is the story of the author's fateful encounter with the Great White Hummingbird.
Entry One
Put book away.
Welcome, reader, to another exciting chapter in my Bird Watching series. Many of you have asked me, "Artemisio III, what caused you to take up bird watching?" Well, in this special edition, I"ll tell you how it all began.
Entry Two
Put book away.
Many years ago, when I was a wee lad, I would traipse around the countryside, exploring all the great mysteries of the world. I was so overjoyed at all the interesting things I found, I never really paid attention to where I was going.
Entry Three
Put book away.
My life drastically changed when I ran afoul of what would later become my arch-nemesis. As I collected posies to give to dear Mum, I saw an odd sight floating above a patch of flowers. Curious, I stepped forward to investigate.
Entry Four
Put book away.
There before me was a hummingbird. But reader, make no mistake, it was no ordinary hummingbird. No, this hummingbird would send shivers down your spine. Hovering before me was one of the deadliest creatures known to Norrath - The Great White Hummingbird.
Entry Five
Put book away.
Now, I know you're saying, "But Artemisio III, isn't the Great White Hummingbird just a myth?" and I say to you, reader, "Listen to the stories, for they are true!" A simple sighting of such a magnificent beast would not have normally been enough to change my life were it not for what happened next.
Entry Six
Put book away.
Hearing my approach with its supersonic powers of hearing, the Great White slowly looked up at me. I'll never forget the look in its eyes as it spotted me! It was like looking into pools of darkness, and from its eyes it oozed an ichor of filth that penetrated deep into your soul.
Entry Seven
Put book away.
As the Great White smelled my fear, it began to laugh in that low, mocking cackle all of the stories claim it possesses. It began to rise over the flower patch, knowing that I had nowhere to run. This is when my life began to flash before me.
Entry Eight
Put book away.
The Great White began to hover around in a pattern that began to lull my senses. As I watched it, I was hypnotized by its beauty, all but forgetting the mortal peril I was in. That's when it opened its gaping maw, showing me its jagged teeth. The Great White was about to go for the kill. As I turned to run, I tripped over a rock, knocking myself to the ground. That was when I knew it was all over.
Entry Nine
Put book away.
But you see, that was what saved me! The special helmet my mother always made me wear fell off my head as I tripped. It flew straight into the sky, and as it plummeted to the ground, it fell right on top of the Great White Hummingbird. Underneath my helmet was trapped all 2 inches of seething evil! Fortunately, I had my wits about me, and I left the helmet where it was.
Entry Ten
Put book away.
I ran home to tell my Mum of the events, but she was more concerned about what happened to my helmet. Instead of making up some story about giving it to a nomad in exchange for some magical beans, I chose to tell her the truth, no matter how much it frightened her. This is only the beginning, however. In the next volume, I shall detail how someone unleashed the Great White back into the world, and how I began my search to save Norrath from utter destruction.

This book is titled "Bird Watching - The Beast of the Enchanted Lands, Part II". It is a guide to bird watching in the Enchanted Lands and the great danger that flies across the land.
Entry One
Put book away.
Welcome, reader, to the exciting conclusion of the story I began in Part I of the Beast of the Enchanted Lands. As you may remember, I told you the harrowing tale of my first encounter with the Great White Hummingbird. The following tale covers how I risked my life to track down that evil fiend and stop it from wreaking destruction upon innocent travelers.
Entry Two
Put book away.
Ever since that day I narrowly escaped death at the maw of the Great White Hummingbird, the memory of that encounter haunted my sleep for years. The reader will be surprised to learn that I began bird watching not for the sheer pleasure of it, but rather to follow the old adage -- know your enemy.
Entry Three
Put book away.
When my dearest Father found my special helmet in the hands of a wandering nomad, I knew that the Great White had been unleashed upon the land again. I vowed that I would find it and put an end to its existence once and for all. You can read all about my various adventures in my other books, which I know you are sure to buy.
Entry Four
Put book away.
For many years I studied my elusive prey. And elusive it was! No one claimed to know anything about it, and after much questioning I came to the conclusion that Great White Hummingbird had frightened everyone into silence. My clue to its whereabouts came from the ramblings of a drunken dwarf. He would be the one to give a name to my archenemy - Zibbly Blip.
Entry Five
Put book away.
Now that I knew the True Name of my enemy, I sought out the greatest mages of the land. In time, I found him hiding down by the docks in Freeport. Through much coercing in the way of platinum coins, he used the True Name to reveal where I would find my prey -- The Enchanted Lands.
Entry Six
Put book away.
I set sail at once for these so-called Enchanted Lands, intent on engaging in mortal combat with the foul beast. Captain Grok'Zar, a burly man that looked a little bit like an orc, had assured me that I would arrive safely upon the shores in no time at all. Were it not for the sneaky attack by pirates in the middle of the night, I surely would have made it there safe and sound.
Entry Seven
Put book away.
Having been blindfolded by pirates and tossed overboard, I would have thought my journey at an end. I managed to secure a piece of flotsam to hang onto, and over the course of several months, I managed to collect enough to build a small raft. Food and water were no problem, for the sea is swimming with fish and filled with, well, water (a bit on the salty side, yes, but beggars can't be choosers).
Entry Eight
Put book away.
I am not sure how much time passed, for when adrift on the ocean, there are other things to concern oneself with. After several weeks, for instance, I started seeing the most beautiful birds you could possibly imagine flying past the sun. The amount that I saw could fill whole volumes, but I am here to tell of the Great White Hummingbird. Fear not, reader, for in the end I finally found the lands I sought.
Entry Nine
Put book away.
When I arrived on shore, it took a few moments for my sealegs to become accustomed to solid land. No sooner than I adjusted, I spied my prey floating right in front of me. In the time since I had last seen the Great White Hummingbird, it had learned the magical arts of illusion. For you see, rather than appear as the threatening monster it truthfully was, it had taken the form of a smiling, waving halfling.
Entry Ten
Put book away.
Not falling for its insidious tricks, I grabbed my harpoon I fashioned from the barnacles floating under my raft and I launched it through the air with all my might. Rest assured, gentle reader, it hit its mark square in the chest. Falling to the ground, it did not have time to cast its spell to turn back into its true hummingbird form. I buried the false halfling that day, saying a small prayer for a fallen enemy, and wound up doing my part to save Norrath from the horrid predations of the Great White Hummingbird.
