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. Short but it's a set up for the climax. Enjoy and review.

Mummers, Behemoths and Buffoons

"She's gone!" exclaimed Llud after a search for Nara had proven unsuccessful. "No one has seen her, she isn't visiting any friends since we have checked the places outside of Braki where her friends live… Agamede must have taken her again! I swear I will plunge my sword into that witch's heart!"

"Taken her back to Alxanda to be his bride." Said Krull. "Oh, what a horrible thing!"

"Then this battle must be brought to Alxanda!" Llud jumped upon a tree stump while his men gathered around him. "This espousal must not take place!"

"That's a very heroic idea." Commented Robat. "But how are we to do that? Tomorrow is La Na Buffoon Ar, they just won't let us in!"

"La Na Buffoon Ar! That is brilliant!" Llud jumped down from the tree stump and placed a hand on Robat's shoulder. "That is exactly what we shall do! We will have ourselves a little cavalcade, a cortege! We will have mummers, behemoths and buffons and Xaxez shall be the Chief of Misrule!"

"Me?" asked Xaxez. "Well, I always wanted to be Chief of Misrule so now is my chance!"

"What about you, Llud?" asked Krull. "Won't you be with us?"

"I will sneak into Braki to face Alxanda himself at the espousal. No doubt it will be happening in the hall. When it is all over, I hope I will be meeting you with Nara by my side."
