If only a look could kill...

Burk is dead! Long live Burk! Oh...

Another year has passed in Burkyard.

I mean, Boneyard.

Year 7 began with Manhunter fight. We had Candice, Mal-Mal, Samuel and Avatar of Burk confronting this enigmatic figure that had come to claim, well, did anyone even ask what it was about to claim?

Probably not, as Burk and Manhunter started grinning at each other intensely, which quickly evolved into a staring contest.

Mal-Mal's Red Fist secret fighting art gave us the edge we needed, and showdown went on well enough.

Burk used caratosis X to infict automatic hit with Clawhead Arrow. This hit Manhunter in the shoulder. Slowly he turned around and gave Burk a look that sent him fleeing the scene.

Manhunter shot some volleys into the air and dealt intracranial hemorrhage to Candice. Soon enough there was only one card left in Manhunter's AI deck.

It was Murderous Gaze, and it targeted Burk. Don't ask how, but this was enough to decapitate Burk. Manhunter had won their staring contest. He probably fulfilled whatever his secret mission was, because he died soon after.

This was annoying, because it is so rare to get a savior with Survival of the Fittest. And Boneyard lost the savior in the first showdown. I suppose Burk was the savior Boneyard did not need, but deserved.

Who would follow in Burk's footsteps? Who would be able to fulfill the destiny that was written in the stars? In a shaking handwriting and incoherent contents, but written in the stars nonetheless!

It was Burk's number #1 fan, who discovered her one, true name.

Burgette.

We hunt a level 1 antelope, which isn't much of a problem. When survivors return, year 8 begins with incomprehensible glossolalia. Nobody understands what each other is saying. And true to her calling, Burgette steps forward and invents a completely new language, becoming the Mother of Words.

I envision that in this new language every noun is "Burk".

Next we might try level 2 Screaming Antelope before King's Man encounter.
