In the world of Faeo, a great moment was coming - the 18th anniversary of its creation. The cities were being decorated, taverns were filled with laughter, and everyone was getting ready for a huge celebration. But in the heart of the main organizer, Sugor, there was no joy.
Each day, his mood grew darker. Too many things were going wrong - the decorations kept falling apart, the musicians were arguing, and the beer barrels were empty. Sugor sat alone by the fire, his head in his hands, thinking this year’s anniversary would be a disaster.
And then, came Balthazar - a demon who had escaped the Cell. He had lived through endless ages of anger and boredom, but when he looked into Sugor’s tired eyes, he saw something familiar - hope, waiting for someone to light it again.
- Why so gloomy, Magmar? - Balthazar rumbled in his deep voice.
- Because everything’s falling apart - Sugor sighed - We can’t even celebrate properly.
The demon paused for a moment, then grinned.
- Maybe what you need… is a little help from hell.
From that moment, everything changed. Balthazar took charge - with his fiery hands and old alchemist skills. He traveled to the far swamps to find rare ingredients, then used his knowledge of flame and magic to create something special: Schiz-Beer - a drink so warm and lively it made even the weariest warriors laugh again.
Sugor couldn’t believe his eyes - humans, mages, and even gnomes started dancing, laughing, and singing together. What was supposed to be a failed event turned into the biggest celebration in Faeo’s history, lasting three full days and nights. Elder Verkiry even wrote a song about the demon brewer, and for the first time in months, Sugor truly smiled.
When the fireworks lit up the night sky, Balthazar stood beside him and said,
- See? You Magmars forget that sometimes all it takes is a little fire to bring back joy.
Sugor clapped him on the shoulder.
- I don’t know if you’re an angel or a demon, but without you, this celebration would never have happened.
From that day on, Balthazar was remembered not as a monster, but as the Keeper of the Beer - the demon who saved the anniversary and brought laughter back to Faeo. He became the proud supplier of Schiz-Beer to every tavern across the land.
And if, during the next anniversary, you hear a song about Balthazar echoing through the night, remember this:
Order a mug of Schiz-Beer for just 4.99g - and celebrate like a true Magmar!
