A fable forgotten by the truth! A game for the young and a travesty to those who follow.

	Seldom if at all do the Harkers themselves cross paths, The Four Cradles have purposely kept them apart as a means to traversing greaters land, called for in accordance to when and where they are most needed.

“Harpy hare is a game played to make a decision, similar to rock-paper-scissors, ideally done in groups of three or more. It is a favored children's game amongst the young folk of Felicity derived from a common Fable called "The Harpy, the Hare, and the hound" that was later turned into a rhyme, sung in a clapping game, Then used for a modified hide and seek. The children must play the clapping game to determine who the harpy is. Once everyone says "Tell me so I say" The players must look in a direction. The one alone in facing a direction becomes the harpy, while the rest of them remain as the hares. If all or multiple players face the same direction, The group crosses their arms, shakes their head, and repeats the game all over again. Until one of them messes up and therefore becomes the harpy. Obstructing the harmony, the harpy loses the game and receives punishment as chosen by the hares. That could either be a flick on the head, something of the sorts, or just being burdened by the way of losing a game made for 5-year-olds. Those traditionally after the roles have been given, The game will then turn into a hide and seek with the hares all needing to hide. While the harpy is asked to seek them out”
