The Lore of Ryland, Lumper of Titans

Ryland has a boring job. Everyone thinks “Lumper of Titans” means giving them lumps with his signature, cone shaped walking stick. Unfortunately, like he has to explain every time, a lumper is just a laborer who unloads cargo. Boring, every day, average work. Ignoring the fact that each day it’s a shipment of another giant titan some fancy hero wannabe wizard knocks down. No, his job isn’t to whack titans, it’s to get them out of the wagon and on ice. Not figuratively - literally. They ship the slain titans off to the Freezer instead of leaving them bleeding in the middle of cities. It’s not like they disappear with “wooooo maaaagic.” With his grizzly beard and tightly wrapped pelt to keep his body warm, he drags pieces of today’s titan into the Freezer. It’s a gigantic underground cavern filled with magical titans who have been slain, but of course it has a boring name like the Freezer. Cecil, his cat, pitter patters down the icy floors, soft as he is silent. A perk of taking the job no one else wants is that Cecil gets to come to work with him.

One day, while Ryland was unloading the wagons, and thinking to himself to himself how irresponsible these wizards are. But, sometimes, and only sometimes, he wonders what it would be like - to slay a titan. Suddenly, Cecil hisses and Ryland sees dismembered body parts start to panic, thrash around, and crawl toward one another. There aren’t any wizards around. Ryland just might get his chance for “some time” to become “one time.” He brandishes his walking stick and prepares to protect his cat.
