less dragons, more romance.

and if ANYONE posts anything about me and 4zzy... "romancing" well...... I'll probably have to annihilate you in KoH later.... that is all.

Hey Turylon! Relax!
Nobody will post nothing about you and 4zzY!
We all know about your sexual choice and how do you stick to Henrik! ;)
And thanks for the post! Is a nice proof! :p

And by the way, talking about 4zzY and romance, maybe is time to remember something 4zzY wrote...

So maybe the time has come to spice this up and put a little jelously in Heretic's heart! :p
We have to keep the audience tuned!

PS: I'm sure all these chapters are really fun, but I couldn't read them all. Of course be sure I will read them all later!
Just I wanted to give thanks to you all writers. Continue to write more about Drake your favorite hero! :D

Hey... we're talking about dragons & scandinavia. Let me take a licence, the carpats are more impresive, Transilvania and this stuff. :)

Edit: If you looks an atlas you will see that plain where Tirgu Mures is, in Romania, surrounded by mountains drawing a square. It's like Mordor, the perfect place to be the homeland of the dragon specie.

Also, I don't said where Nike was from. I only said that he knew very well the Southeast route between Bohemia & Carphatia. Only 4zzy that yes, it's Bulgarian, I made her 4zzyana 'the carphatian', but she had a dragon. I don't introduced dragons but tried to fit them in a context.

I allow you to take me as a character. You know, every story needs a funny little guy who is quite insane...:D

When I got time I'll read the whole story. The first parts are cool. I will write, too, when I got time.

[Henrik]

Don't worry about that the new (GREAT) hasn't been put in the story yet - they will be soon ! - I'm currently working on a list of the characters, so it's easier for us to look-up their characteristics - i'm almost done !

[Sir Turylon]

um. FYI...
Me and henrik are "just friends and allies"

Just because you think I am Drake, doesn't make it true.. So stop trying to make me out to be some sort of.. Frenchie. ;)


And um... I really wouldn't mind if.. Sir Turylon and Lady 4zzy found themselves stuck on some far away island... filled with dragons of course... *cough*.. yeah.

Well, maybe when "you" and her are finished helping the rest of us fighting this evil whatever-it-is ;) - it's funny that your character seem to a "darker side" or maybe my character has sorta "infected" your - who knows.

I just keep wondering what 4zzy says to all this ? - her opinion remains to be seen

[Kuno of Gersenau]

Hmm...I have written a part which follows onto Nikes one I will post it soon. but did you ask the people in your storys if it's ok for themn or did you simply post it without asking? But I think nobody will be offened by it...

Not need, except if you want to continue the previous history. In this case you only have to comunicate you're writing the next chapter. If not, you only have to post, adding new details but whitout risk the global narrative of the history.

[Kuno of Gersenau]

No it wont. In my story nike meets the Grandmaster of the knights of the German FAQ :D and I tell more why X and Sir Turylon are old enemies. It's because of a lady...;)

[Haegemon]

No it wont. In my story nime meets the Grandmaster of the knights of the German FAQ :D and I tell more why Lord Elewyn and Sir Turylon are old enemies. It's because of a lady...;)

Chapter 17

Meanwhile…

After some days, Nike the traveller met a knight. It was Kuno of Gersenau, the grandmaster of the mystic “knights of the German FAQ”. He came back from a glory mission in Southern Italy where he and his knights could stop a long bloody war. Off course there was a big party after this and he was a bit drunk now…

But Kuno noticed that Nike was in a big hurry…

- N…nike my old friend *hicks* what is going on? What’ssss the m…matter with you?
- Oh Kuno, good to see you! Didn’t you hear the dark news? Lord X turned bad and attacked the city of Maidenborough where Henrik and Turylon live. Something evil took control of him.
- Hell! And what had happen in Maid…maidenborough?
- Turylon, Henrik and their friedns could beat him; they captured him in the prison and want to hang him. They called Cardinal Spudster to heal him, but you know how it works with the Church…
- Yeah I do…And where are you going now? *hicks*
- I search the mage Frujin who lives on the shores of the Black Sea…maybe he can help…

Nike told Kuno everything he had to know, and this one had to think a lot, but he had headache. Everybody knew that Turylon and X were enemys and everybody thought this was because of the religious and political fights they had with each other. But Kuno knew more, the main-reason was a story of love and schemes which happened long years ago…

He told Nike some facts about it:

- I…It was long years ago, to a time when King Frank wasn’t already king. Elewyn and Tu…Turylon were falling in love to a beautiful Lady *hicks*, called Y. She w…was a member of my order and b…both wanted to ma…marry her.
However it came to a fight about this lady, it’s a big sto…story and I think we haven’t the time now to hear it all. A…and I’m not able t…to tell it at the moment. *hicks* B…but the final result was that no one got the Lady *hicks* she dis…disappeared and was never seen again…and from this time there was this big hate between Elewyn and Turylon. *hicks*
- Hell! I didn’t know that, do you know what this could mean?
- Y…yes I do. I have the feeling Turylon knows more than he says *hicks*…I don’t know if he has really something to do with Xs dark side, b…because like you said it was also a big risk for him. He would being nearly fool if this was his idea.
- I have to go my friend! Goodbye!
- N…no wait Nike! I will join you! …I will help you to find Frujin!
- Great a drunken grandmaster, the travel will be much easier now. Damned drunk bastard.I thank you my friend, then come on, let us start! But then tell me the full story why the two are enemies now...

________________________________________
All our friends were gathered in the dungeon to observe how the treatment proposed by Cardinal Spudster would work. It was a rather rare obsession and nobody in the last 200 years haven’t seen anybody who had it and in more of millennium nobody survived it, so the atmosphere was tense. Lord Henrik prepared a draw to determine who would treat Evil Lord Elewyn with the horse dung ant he tomato paste and Lord Turylon had the honor to pick the draw. He put his hand deep in the box and picked a small slip of paper and hesitated for a small moment before unfolding it… Nobody really wanted to do the dirty work and it was not only the horse dung that stopped the noble men from volunteering, it was the unsteadiness and even perhaps fright from the evil curse. Lord Turylon didn’t want to see the name first out of superstition and turned it to the other heroes waiting to see whose face would darken with the cloud of disappointment, but rather strangely everyone looked back at him with smiles and his best friend Lord Henrik looked even strangely amused. He turned the paper to himself to see his own name and took the responsibility any honorable man would. He thought shortly about saying something to Lady 4zzy but dismissed the thought almost momentarily, knowing that if something really happened with him all other would come to his rescue. All those thoughts were beginning to leave him when he was pushed in the dungeon cell with only to buckets – one full of horse wastes the other with tomato paste delivered by the fair Lord Drake who strangely referred to it as “salsa”. He turned back for a moment only to see how Lord Henrik locks the door behind him and wishes him :go:.
After the door was “secured” Lord Henrik grinned to all who were gathered around him and showed them that every slip of paper that he prepared was with the name of Lord Turylon and took out a bottle of fine wine proposing to drink for the happy occasion.
However his minute of fame (everybody was quite happy with his mischievousness, which spared them the need to risk their lives) was put to an end by a messenger who rushed into the dungeon and at the end of his strings gave to Lady 4zzy who moved to help him a message. From his confused speech only one thing could be understood - that it was of great importance to her and than he passed away just when Lord Henrik offered him a glass of wine.
4zzy started reading the letter and by the impression of her face everybody could tell that the news was bad.
“Sorry I am, friends, but no more can I stay with you. Haste I must make to my home, because upon it a great trouble has fallen. On the next fool moon expect me you can, promise I make to return to you our business with the curse to finish, but no more I can say now. Farewell and my best regards to Lord Turylon do send, for his bravery is worth it.”, she said and turned to leave. In that moment Lord Drake grabbed her hand and said
“You can’t leave us like that, tell us what is going on we can help you perhaps.” Lord Henrik joined as well “Yes, you must not go alone, tell us what is going on. I will prepare my fair maids and the special “inn-on-wheels-o-matic” I recently invented and we will accompany you.”
“Sorry I am, but better it is for you here to stay, the curse to solve. Return I will as fast as I can.” and she left for her chambers to prepare herself. Before it was noon a squadron of gold and green dragons lead by their purple brother and her lady left the city of Maidenburg and headed east. The terrible news of her home had struck 4zzy so deep that she could not even share them with her friends, she had to check everything for herself first and than to decide what to do. Now she had to leave for her grandfather’s kingdom which stretched from the high cliffs of her home in the north, to the vast mountains and the White Sea in the south, from the Black Sea – east, to the big lakes of Ochrid and Prespa in the west. The letter was written by her father prince Frujin and brought only grim news to her:
“Hello, my dear daughter, I regret that I have to write to you in this difficult time and that I could not reach you earlier, but the circumstances are such. The detested Lemon-worshipers have attacked us again and this time with a force we could not expect from them. They must have planned this invasion for years and now we face difficult times. I understood hat you left your home mountains and headed west, unfortunately whatever business you have there it is imperative that you come back as quick as possible, along with your dragon squadrons. Now I head west of the Hemus Mountains to meet the hordes of our enemies. The tsar, your grandfather, will wait for you in the city of Turnov where he inevitably will have to lead the defenses against the coming siege. Be swift for he cannot withstand for long the enemy hordes.
Your father
Prince Frujin

PS
If we do not see each other any more, know that I love you more than everything.”

She barely could stop herself from crying knowing what was happening in her home. The detested enemies were back again. She was a small child when her grandfather went on a march against them and defeated their kingdom in the far east. Since than they paid their annual tribute in lemons and she could make her lemonade (oh how she loved lemonade). But now something was wrong, without any warn they attacked again and it was her duty to defend her people.
She flew three long days without a stop for food, water, or rest and when she reached her citadel in the mountains she was completely exhausted. She stayed there for one day and left for Turnov to wage a war. The only dragons she could take were those she left behind at first – most of them too young, the other too old, the real warriors were already at the end of their strength from traveling and were to come only after few long days. On the fourth day after she left Maidenburg she took three squadrons of dragons, ten beasts in each, and left to meet the tsar who waited for her in great trouble.
After another day she reached the capital of her country but what she saw threw her in the deepest sorrow. All the way south she saw on the ground columns of refugees but didn’t have the time to stop and talk to them, se could only hope it was not over yet. But all hope left her now. She saw the burning city from kilometers and prepared her dragons for battle. Even if the enemy was already behind the walls – burning and raiding, they would remember this last attack. The thirty beasts rushed though the air and the wind passing by their wings made such a terrible noise that the “lemonheads” were already in panic when 4zzy reached them. Not much was left from the once beautiful city, most of the towers were destroyed, the houses of the people and mansions of the nobles were burning, and even the palace was left in ruins. The battle was lost some days ago and only few hundred of the enemy were plundering what riches were left. They met the pure fury of the dragons and were no match for them. Celebrating their victory, they didn’t expect the attack and couldn’t organize their defense at all. Every one of them was chased like an animal on the streets and killed, but this could not bring relief for 4zzy. The last one of the lemon-worshipers, trying to save his life proposed to do whatever she wanted from him, even opened his purse and offered his holy lemon to her.
“What know you, lemonhead, of what happened to the tsar, and where his son Frujin is, speak or die!” demanded she in her rage.
“The old tsar is dead, your humble servant is afraid that his people killed him after the city fell, but his son is unaccounted for. He was defeated with his armies almost a month ago south of the Long Mountains and afterwards his whereabouts are unknown for me. The rumor has it that he hides in the vast mountains in the south but no more is known to me, please don’t kill me I told you what I know!”
“Go may you now, but curse let fall on all of you for what you here done have!” whispered 4zzy and turned her back to the burning city and left for good.
She headed for the vast mountainous region in the south to search for her father, but before that she dismissed her flock and assigned them tasks to fly around the country to see what the situation is and where the resistance was still alive. With her she left only two of the best dragons and her purple companion of course. After three days of pointless search her luck struck and she could capture a spy of the enemy. They surely were aware that her father was somewhere in the region and searched for him as well. From the man she learned that Frujin was hiding in a monastery not far away – just in a few hours flight, and the lemonheads already gathered a force to attack him as early as tomorrow or the day after. 4zzy was so happy to hear that her father was still alive that she even spared the life of the spy, but he wasn’t important anyway, by tomorrow she would be half the way to her mountain fortress with her father and nobody could stop her.
As she approached the beautiful monastery a strange feeling began to grow in her, a peculiar worry fell over her hearth almost as if she could sense a strong magic nearby. The three beasts lowered their flight an as they prepared to lend she new something was wrong. She pulled her dragon back and ordered the other two to follow her but it was already too late. The two hit a powerful magic field and were caught in a web of power which rendered their wings useless and they fell heavily on the ground. The trap was obvious now, they have deceived her and now were planning to kill her. From the forest came men and began to attack the fallen dragons. 4zzy couldn’t sand the view and turned her beast back on them. Her staff was swiftly in her hand and she chanted a counter-spell to the webs. The lemonheads continued to appear from nowhere and some of them were already on one of the fallen dragons, stabbing and cutting his undefended belly. The anger was already boiling in her blood and she turned on them with her dragon, the flame from his inside burned and killed them and they started to retreat. But than a new figure emerged from the forest – an old man with a staff and a medallion on his neck, he ordered the soldiers not to be afraid of the flames and to attack again. 4zzy tried a counter spell but it was already too late, the flames were now useless. There were so many of them that she had only one chance – she had to go for the mage. She lowered her beast and jumped lightly on the ground and started to make her way for the enemy leader by using her enchanted staff as a mace. It was fortunate that the lemonheads had more problems with the dragon at the time, who killed them with his massive tail and sharp nails. Finally 4zzy was upon the mage with her staff enchanted to protect her from his spells, she took her dagger ant jumped at him. He was swifter than his age would suppose and lightly blocked her blade with his staff almost breaking her wrist. 4zzy knew she had no time for defense and attacked again with both the dagger and the staff managing to penetrate his guard hitting in on the side, than she tried to stab him but he was cunning, and only the chain mail saved her from his staff’s pointy top. With her own she tried hitting him on the head from upside down, and as he tried to move away, her staff caught his medallion and tore it from his neck. They both were after the roundel which was obviously magical, and as 4zzy snatched it in mid-air, he unleashed all his rage upon her. While her attention was distracted from the object he prepared a strong spell, which could penetrate her defenses and 4zzy reacted too slowly to it. To energy ball hit her on the chest and threw her several meters away where she fell unconscious. The mage laughed and went towards her to finish the defenseless girl with his staff. In that moment the dragon came to her rescue darting the air and scattering enemy warriors, he grabbed her gently in his claws and flew away before anyone could react.
Meanwhile the rest of our friends back in Maidenburg were having their usual parties at the VNL inn and Lord Henrik fought his never-ending battle against his liver with the help (at least moral support) of all other heroes. The treatment proposed by Cardinal Spudster didn’t work as well as he expected and even though the condition of Evil Lord Elewyn was getting better, he couldn’t\’t be cleansed of the mighty curse. After Lord Turylon treated him for the first time he even returned his ability to talk, but what came from his mouth was not to be mentioned by any good lady. Eventually Turylon found out about the small conspiracy of his friend Henrik and he was punished to pay him an annual tribute of fair maidens and to continue with the exorcism all by himself. This was lowering his morale in his battle against his liver because until now he already had treated Evil Lord Elewyn three times with the “medicine” but not only it didn’t have the expected effect, but lead also to endless nights in the VNL inn in the company of his beloved bottles and he sensed deep in himself that a revolt boiling. So far he managed to content the discontent of his innards but he didn’t know for how long he could continue to withstand it.
One morning as he was coming back to his chambers after a long night at the battle fields he managed somehow to lift his eyes from the ground in front of him and saw the most terrible of all sights – a huge army of at least hundred mighty dragons were flying to his castle in the red dawn. He managed to make haste on all fours to the keep and sounded the alarm and after a few short minutes Lord Turylon was next to him trying to understand what the trouble was.
“Dfraghuns, Thurhy*hiccup*lun, da dfraghuns *hiccup* ar kumin! I can*hiccup*not helpf joo, joo mufst leeth da thifensss aloun my fhrrend!”
Lord Turylon observed the skies with a certain reservation wondering whether to believe what he thought he heard or not. He saw a single beast coming from east and suddenly recognized in it 4zzy’s dragon, but where was she – no one was to be seen riding him. He then saw the body the beast carried in his claw and knew that something had to be wrong. While the beast descended slowly he took the still unconscious Lady 4zzy in his arms and nearly got killed by Lord Henrik’s sword, who was making attempts to run around the courtyard waving his sword around in a drunken frenzy, screaming “Thie joo curssseth bheassths, why can I noth khill joo, whath kinth uf majikh iss ghuarthing joo!”
Lord Thurylon took the unconscious 4zzy to his chambers and send a word for Cardinal Spudster to come as fast as he could. The noble knight was happy that she was still alive but he couldn’t tell for how long would this last in her condition. He than saw the strange medallion she still held in her hand. He decided to take it and to return it to her when she was feeling better, to surprise her in that way. He put it in his purse at the moment when Cardinal Spudster came in the room and began to threat 4zzy with his potions and different healing herbs. She was to recover only after a day or two so the friends had nothing to do else to return to their daily work.
After Lord Henrik was sober again he had to carry his ritual with the horse dung again and all of them gathered for the fourth time in the dungeon but this time it was all different. As they approached they heard Evil Lord Elewyn's crazy screams of anger and when Lord Henrik opened the door of the cell the prisoner broke his heavy steel chains off their beds in the wall and charged directly to the group standing in front of him in startled disbelief. He passed by Henrik and threw himself on Lord Turylon with all his body weight and they began to roll on the stone floor in a messy heap apparently fighting for Lord Turylon’s purse. The first to come out of the moment of stiffness was Lord Drake who took out his boleadoras and swung it at the fighting couple. Evil Lord Elewyn moved away in a fraction of a second and the weapon fell on Turylon’s chest almost breaking his ribs. Evil Lord Elewyn was quite amused by this scene and took his small finger to the corner of his mouth saying “Don make me freakin’ laugh! Buahahahamuahahahahabuahabuahahahaha…!!!” This was exactly the moment our friends needed and while Cardinal Spudster murmured his spell of confusion Henrik and Drake attacked Evil Lord Elewyn in the middle of his laugh and threw him back in his cell locking the door after him.
Lord Turylon lifted himself slowly rubbing his hurt chest and in great disbelief took the medallion out of his purse. “He wanted this. I took it out of 4zzy’s hand when her dragon brought her here this morning. I was planning to return it to her after she was feeling better, but it had such a strong effect on Evil Lord Turylon that I have no desire to carry it no more. Who knows what evil lurks inside this artifact…”
“It is clear that we face here a greater evil as we expected, my friends,” said Cardinal Spudster, “We will have to wait and see what 4zzy can tell us about her journey and this medallion. For now I suggest we all rest, even you noble Henrik, because if you do not do so, we will have to treat your rare case of alcoholism with horse dung and salsa and than you will have to bathe in the river for three hours to remove the stench. Just after that you would be fine.”
Henrik was a bit confused because he thought he had heard already this sort of treatment, but after a while he dismissed this strange strike of déjà vu and followed the others to their quarters. After all tomorrow would be a busy day.

*may I ask why my friend Elewyn is the most negative character in this story as far as I understand it?*

[Kuno of Gersenau]

He is, but don't you see that some of us try to turn this around? ;)
