Here are two another very short stories about knights Jovan wrote and presented to Sina:

One Knight once wanted to fight demons. He took his sword and went to find demons. But there were no demons around. He asked: "I want to fight demons! Where are they?" And demons answered: "You are the demons!". Another demons added: "Demons are in your mind, knight".

So the Knight was fighting demons.

One knight once wanted to challenge Death, so noone had to die, and everyone can live nice and happy. He learned how to treat sick people, he mastered the virtues of Holy arts, he went on piligrimage and displayed many miracles on his way. His glory reached even immaterial domain! Once while he was meditating a Death appartition has shown in front of him: "Do you want to defeat Death? In this case you'll need to defeat Life, because Death is impossible without Life."

Story ends now. How would you continue it? What was a knight's action?

These two stories are inspired by tales which author is unknown, Jovan just recorded them from memory

Here is another story Jovan wrote after observing Sina's celestial aura

How Runtime was a city mayor. Special edition
Runtime is a cute black kitty . His paws are soft and fluffy; his voice is kind and calm; his ears are pointy and large . He is proud of his majestic tail. Runtime is so cute!

Once Runtime became a city mayor. Those were not calm times and everyone wondered how can he protect them from treats. Runtime wasn't a skilled warrior. But, Runtime was a magical kitty - he could surround himself with epic blue protective shroud!

Once SyndieRat with a gang of mercenaries infiltrated a mayor's palace. But Runtime heard the menacing screeching with his pointy ears early. His soft paws allowed him to walk past SyndieRat's mercenaries. But SyndieRat was guarding the palace's entrance. The kitty politely asked SyndieRat to let him go. SyndieRat was so pleased that allowed Runtime to leave. But Runtime could walk only through spooky caves, filled with spiked and toothed levitating carps! They could easily him coming. Runtime was scared for a bit, but then he surrounded himself with blue shroud and the beasts could not harm him.

Then Runtime walked from the palace, proudly waving his tail. Those who he met thought that Runtime was a triumphant mayor, not SyndieRat. Everyone respected him, because he passed by vile carps.

Tyrith Airgetlam was impressed by this story:

Infected City
I have started my career as city guardsman. Everything was going fine, but then there emerged rumors about some disease. Doctors were researching for cure, obviously.

Meanwhile guards captain got somewhere protection suits. So, we put them on and we got commanded to hospital to organize quarantine there. Later the quarantine moved to city court where we doctors examined infected and held them in containment.

Soon, other guards and me found that doctors cannot do anything, disease is spreading like lightning. And there is no way to stop it. Mayor talked a bit with messenger from capital and announced that disease is lethal and extremely dangerous. But doctors from capital found the way to stop it. We blocked all entrances to city. Mayor then orders guards and doctors to kill all infected.

The main problem was that EVERYONE was infected, there were no HEALTHY people. I asked captain about this order, because I could not believe in this. But meanwhile guards ran over the streets killing everyone on sight, doctors injected deadly doses of random substances to patients. Some guards murdered themselves, just as doctors. Heard that mayor died in explosion in armory after igniting it. Many of those who wanted to live in fires. The Capital sent firing squad who burned down the city.

This is one of Jovan's earliest manuals, about fishing:

Fisherman Pocket guide

Fishing is not that complex as it may seem. At first, you should get a fishing rod. Every fisherman prefers to make it by himself. You just need 10 wood pieces and 2 pieces of metal.

After that, you need to choose a place for fishing. Get some food with you, because fishing takes a lot of energy. After that, go look for fishing spots. if you see a fish "playing" in water (jumping, wriggling, you'll get it), that is a great spot.

Now, toss the reel by a swift move and wait. Once you get a bite on the rod, quickly pull it back. Enjoy the fish!

There is important thing to know - don't catch too much, save the nature. 

Where not to fish:
City fountains, pools by floating crystals (well, you can do this to harass knights and watchmen. I've done it, but there are no fish). Coast near Academy (wizards scared all fish). Swamps (fish is rare. even if it happens, it is swampy). Forest lakes (surprisingly, I had no luck there). Cave lakes are not the places for fishing, but there dwell large fishes which may catch you.

Where to fish (this section may be outdated, fish can migrate and even land may change):
1. A sandy beach to far west, near the entrance to enchanted cave. It is a bit to northwest from Moonfall. And to southwest from an opening with stone circle and tree growing in center. Man, it has the best bite ever. Two or three fish spots one by one. Once again, do not be greedy, or druids will know and you'll get hard talk
2. Shore near empty island, south from desert. Just cross desert and walk by shore. There is sandy beach
3. Sandy beach south from academy. Fish escaped to there.

Now, I tell about another newly discovered place for fishing. But before you pack a fishing rod, get your courage with you. We're travelling to a very spooky place! Travel from the big city to far west. Now, move to a swamp. Cross the swamp while moving west. At distance you'll see the sea, and unnatural darkpurple forest. It stands still, the air is heavy there, shadows are moving among trees. SPOOKY! There is a lake in center of the grove. It does not to have fish, but... who knows what does it hide. Move south, to a sandy beach, leaving trees behind you. That beach has so many fishies, just keep swinging fishing rod. This seems like a trap, forest may be luring you. So, catch one or two fishes and quickly leave before darkness falls. You're going to have long way back. And don't stay there for a night (I haven't, and not advicing to do this)

Another Jovan's work, based on well- known story:

Woody got Wood
One day while Andy was staying at Moonfall, Woody got a need of wood. He needed it really hard for furniture of his home. Andy watched as Woody struck several trees. He approached Woody which startled him. Bark and leaves from tree flew everywhere, and on Andy too. Jumping away from falling trunk made him ever more tired. Woody: "Andy, senpai! I am so tired and I am in dire need of wood". Andy: "Oh Woody Chan! I always knew you are talented woodworker. I want to to help you!". Woody handed three acorns and searched in bush for three fireflies. Andy got poppylus and sugarcap mushroom. Woody was so excited watching as Andy mixed the energy potion! Woody then drank potion. Other dwellers of Moonfall watched them silently. They became so interested by this. Woody: "Oh my goodness, Andy Chan! Your potion gives energy so well! I can cut wood twice as fast! OH YES!". All the other dwellers came into the wood with Woody and Andy. Andy: "No wait guys! I cannot make any more potions!". Woody pushed to front, cutting trees twice as fast. Moonfall druids, witches and farmers were planting acorns and poppylus seeds. The wood soon became empty, because all trees were cut. Woody got a lot of wood and inspection from Osrona found new sapplings growing from ground.
