The Deeds of Llud

by Jet556

Hearing of his family's demonization by a lying western Evabon chieftain, Llud the Gardite goes forth to put and end to it. On his way with the comely Nara, Llud encounters many obstacles such as an encounter with Kaynar and Vultaire, an attack by a Labinnac war party and a pythoness with ulterior motives for the young Gardite. Nevertheless, this is a tale of a champion.

Welcome back everyone. Enjoy and review.

Petir's Information

"What?" asked Alxanda as he stood in Braki Hall with Petir. "What did you say?"

"From what I have heard Wilusa is under siege." Stated Petir. "It is a good thing we Evabon frown on the use of crossbows and cannons but it appears Altayr has forgotten that. He seems to believe that we simply don't know how to make the latter."

"Even I would not make use of either of those!" said Alxanda. "They are terrible weapons that permit cowardice and to kill braver men at a distance. The punishment for using them is the loss of both eyes and hands."

"And cannons turn battle into butchery!" added Petir.

"I seriously hoped Wilusa is taken and everyone put to death." Alxanda looked over at the table. "If a large enough group is sent and combined with that little group of rebels Llud has become leader of it will mean my doom. My removal of Bardyia's hands has added even more who dislike me to the ranks of the rebels."

Agamede then appeared in the entrance to the hall. "I have a plan for you, Alxanda." She said. "One that can make Nara your wife."

"Tell me later then." Alxanda drew his sword and started to hack at the statue of a long dead hero. "I shall have our wedding on All Buffoon's Day. The merry-making will make for a good thing should she feel less than warm towards me, defilement of her in public could result in my death."

"What of the Wilusans?" asked Petir. "Should they arrive on that day we will have much to answer for?"

"Bring me paper!" yelled Alxanda. A lame Evabon did as was ordered. "Ink and quill!" Those too were brought to Alxanda. Alxanda then sat at the table in the hall and got to work on the letter. Once done, Alxanda rolled up the paper and gave it to Petir. "Bring this to our neighbors…"

"Our neighbors?" asked Petir. "But they are…"

"If Labinnac are laying siege to Wilusa then what is wrong if the Wilusans are victims of Labinnac?" asked Alxanda. "With the Wilusans dead what will we have to fear?"

"Nothing." Replied Petir.
