   Summary

   „And the storyteller? What about him?”, Will asked into the room, out of the blue. Looking at Mike with that intense glance.
   “The storyteller keeps telling stories”, Mike answered after a moment. “Stories inspired by his friends. One day, he hopes their tales of grand adventure will spread far and wide across the land, so all can know about their great bravery. Even when there are stories he can never tell…”.

   Just that Will didn't let it slide, and after years of keeping it all inside, Mike walls break down and he learns to tell the story after all.
