FeyGen Prompt #1

This tale is about Agu, an old male ranai, whose name means ''Leopard''. Agu was distinguished by a piercing gaze and wore minimalistic clothing.
     ''I want to rule,'' Agu would say in his even, booming voice, ''but I fear being unfulfilled.'' Agu was Smart and Resolute, but could also be Weak and Fragile. He obeyed the law when it was convenient and may or may not have always done what he said. He helped others when it suited him and usually expected fair compensation.
     Agu was a skilled liar but a terrible appraiser. He practiced the Glassblower's craft, and had experience as a professional Orator. He was a studied Geographer. In combat, Agu preferred a sword or a sling.
     Agu came from the ranai village of Warm Village. Found in the marsh, Warm Village was both Haunting and Modern. The weather was usually Warm and Polluted and the folk there were Chaotic and Good. The messenger station was the first thing you'd see as you entered the village, but it was also known for its Agate Mine, Henge, and Promenade.
     
Once upon a time, in a little village in the marsh, there lived a Historian's son named Agu. Now, Agu was an aging ranai man with a piercing gaze and an uncontrollable demeanor.
     Dimas, Agu's brother, approached Agu and said ''Whatever you do, you must not disturb the Chainmails that are in the messenger station under any circumstances. If you do, things shall go very poorly for you.'' But Agu did not heed the warning, and when Dimas was not looking, he crept to the messenger station and touched the Chainmails. 
     At that time a little ranai lad with long legs hid nearby, eavesdropping on Agu. ''Hmm,'' muttered the ranai lad when he had seen and heard what he was waiting for, quite arrogant about the matter. And without a sound, the ranai lad crept away. 
Along came that ranai lad, now revealed as his true self, and banished Agu's father from the village. ''I am Dimas,'' the ranai lad said, ''and I intend to hide who I really am!''
     After these events, Agu encountered a little winslie lad with a frail physique and wearing traditional clothing. It was Agu's childhood friend, Mohana. ''You are banished from the village, Agu,'' he said. ''You must leave, now!'' And so, Agu took an available Rowboat and left, resolving to right the wrong that Dimas had done. 
     As Agu traveled through the marsh, he heard of a Excellent Centipede, which he resolved to take with him on his journey. To acquire it, however, Agu was compelled to take it by force. It was a ancient female Steel-colored Centipede with narrow shoulders. It had a low, thin voice, was Clever and dissatisfied, and was a studied Engineer. 
     ''Come Agu,'' said Tanganutura. ''We must get you to Wild City, and to do it I must help you follow these tracks.'' And that was precisely what they did.       
     At last, Agu brought back his father, Quirino, to Warm Village by means of seduction. 
     ''Come Agu,'' said Tanganutura. ''We must get you home to Warm Village, and to do it I must help you follow these tracks.'' And that was precisely what they did. 
     Meanwhile, Dimas plotted, and when the time was right, he unleashed his plans to tear down Agu's resolve. ''Agu thinks he's Resolute, does he?'' Dimas muttered to himself, watching Agu walk straight into his terrifying trap. ''In a moment, Agu will be no more...'' The trap took its toll, but Tanganutura intervened, lending yet greater resolve to Agu in this moment of need. 
     Something seemed amiss shortly before arriving at Warm Village; as it happened, a certain adult male ranai with a piercing gaze and wearing sophisticated dress appeared. It was Sergio, Agu's grandfather. ''What are you doing here?'' Agu asked. ''I am here to steal and replace something of yours, of course,'' Sergio replied. And that is precisely what he did. Then, Agu was banished. Agu acquired the power of the legendary Excellent Marid by discovering it in a fateful encounter. Agu encountered the villain, Sergio, and , finding him vulnerable, slew him outright. In the end, Agu was the victor. During the epic conflict, Shanti, the king,  physically marked Agu. At last, Agu discovered the replaced item. On the way, however, he was chased down by Sergio, who Agu After having finally arrived at home, Tanganutura disguised Agu as the apprentice of the king's Diplomat. 
     As Agu entered Warm Village, he saw that there was a great celebration, and at its center was a certain adult male ranai. It was Sergio, Agu's grandfather, who was about to claim Agu's reward in his place. 
     Shanti, the king, proposed a test of Cold dangers. Agu could not overcome those dangers, so Tanganutura intervened, overcoming all of those dangers in advance, before Agu even reached them. ''You have passed,'' said Shanti, the king. 
     And in their meeting with the  the king, Agu's new acquaintance revealed him for who he truly was: ''May it please  the king,'' Taktuq began, ''I present to you, my master, Agu.'' And  the king recognized him at last. 
     And when Agu was received with open arms, Sergio was dejected, and revealed himself for who he truly was. 
     It was at this moment that things began to take a turn for the better at last. For Tanganutura used magical means to transform Agu, realizing his true potential in appearance and power. 
     It was then that the villainous Dimas entered, submitting himself for judgment. The king reviewed his crimes, at last passing no judgement, but releasing him to the draconian people in disgrace. 
     Finally, Tanganutura presented herself. ''I am not your protégé,'' she admitted, removing her disguise. Beneath was not Tanganutura as Agu had thought, but the princess, Abhay. ''It was I that provided you with the Excellent Centipede, and watched over you on your journey. Now, Agu, if you will have me, I give myself to you as your wife.'' Agu was uncontrollable and approved. And so Agu and Abhay were betrothed, but before they could be married, a new threat reared its ugly face. For Ru, Agu's nephew, came and , saying: ''I plan to see justice served, and nothing will stop me!'' And so, a new adventure began...
