She grew up on Isle de Gambino and weaved her own grass skirt. For that was Triskit's ultimate talent, cleverly making use of her hands. She braided ropes and created baskets for a living, sitting on the gently humming docks and letting her fingers dance in construction of useful items.

One morning, a demon was found wreaking havoc on the Marketplace. Triskit sprang into action and challenged the demon into a competition of hand-woven cloth. If the demon was to loose, it would leave Gaia forever.The one who created the best cloth by midnight tomorrow, judged by the sage Guardian Acolyte, would win. The location of judging was to be Bass'ken Lake. The demon turned it's great shaggy head and growled, "The possibility of you winning is infinitely low. If you succeed, you shall recieve my horns."

Triskit accepted and leapt away to a secluded corner of Gaia. She wove and wove a beautiful white cloth until her hands bled with the excrutiating effort. Such was her suffering that a passing angel dropped down from above and blessed the cloth. Triskit jumped for joy and christened it, "The Angelic Sash."

Triskit ran to Bass'ken Lake with the cloth in her hands to see Guardian Acolyte and the demon listening for the toll of midnight by Durem's clocktower. She collasped at Guardian's feet and presented her with the Sash. Guardian observed the two garments quietly. One pulsed and throbbed with life, while the other, the Nitemare Scarf, sent waves of death and decay.

Guardian nodded to each contestant and made a gesture to the Angelic Sash. "The finest I have seen." she said clearly, and Triskit danced in triumph. The demon howled in disgrace and crawled off, leaving the crown of horns on Trisket's head. The End.

By: Swee heart THere once was a maiden named Triskit

THere once was a maiden named Triskit
She sold off hr soul for a biscuit.
She started to bite
Then shivered in fright
And decided that she wouldn't risk it.
