Welcome back everyone. Enjoy and review.

Perquisite Enough

"It is a shame that my uncle was not able to give you a perquisite for my protection on the return to Braki." Said Nara to Llud, as they all sat in the wilderness. "A sword to defend yourself till the day of the duel."

"Your presence is perquisite enough." Commented Llud.

"What do you do during your spare time when you are not defending fair maidens, Llud?" asked Xaxez. "And when you are not carrying out your duties as Champion of Wilusa."

"I have not had much time for past times. I used to compete in competitions but not anymore." Llud scratched his cheek while looking at the table. "I must say that I am starting to have an interesting in courting."

"Oh, you have someone back home in Wilusa do you?" asked Krull. "Someone you wish to marry?"

"Yes." Replied Llud. "Although she is not of Wilusa."

"Do you mean she is not of the capital itself or not one of the clans?" asked Nara.

"She is of one of the Wilusan clans." Replied Llud, looking over at her.

"Young love! How exciting!" came a voice. From behind a tree came an old Evabon woman with brown skin. Her right eye was completely covered with skin while her left eye was lacking both pupil and iris, her hair was of medium length and grey in color and she had a nose that made Vultaire's beak look not so beaky. She was attired in a black robe.

"Who are you?" asked Llud.

"Merely an old woman, travelling."

"Where do you come from?" asked Nara.

"Oh, far away."

"What brings you here?" asked Krull.

"My feet."

"What is your name?" asked Xaxez.

"My name?" asked the old woman. "Why it is… Agamede. Yes, Agamede is my name."
