Wolves howl at the moon Snail Eater

Thursday, April 16, 2009

Listen to those wolves howl at the moon Snail Eater, they must be, oh, what's this? Wasn't there a sword in this stone? There is a hole for one. I had best put my spare sword in there in case anyone needs it. There is that Arthur kid. Abra-cadabra invisible on!
"I need a sword for tomorrow, hey, a stone with an emergency sword in it!"
He took the sword. I'm all out of spares. I wonder who took the previous one? I should remember tomorrow, but I had too much to drink after the joust! Something historic happened tomorrow.

Where did I put Snail eater? I had him in my pocket. How do you lose a purple snake.
What's that commotion at the joust?
"I pulled this sword from that stone yesterday!"
"Not possible, I pulled this sword from it last night. Look, there is Merlin, he'll know!"
Hmm, what? Oh, the sword. What is your name, man?
"Quillwyvern."
And your's young man?
"Pendragon."
Which was it, I can't remember?
What was that, you're mumbling?
Oh, sorry. Pendragon is the king!
"What? But I took the sword from ow, something bit me!"
Oh, there you are, come back here!
---
"Merlin, aren't you going to teach me to fight with this sword?"
Hmm, what? Oh, sorry, I'm still trying to find my pet.
"But,"
Oh, fine. I remember you convincing me, so lets get to it. Swing at me.
"Where is your sword?"
Oh, yes, that might have ended badly. Here we go, swing!
A good defense is to deflect a sword down to the ground, then stomp it, breaking it!
"Great, you broke my sword."
Oh, yes, terribly sorry. Ah, take this coupon to the lake. I have a friend there who makes good swords.

Hello Lancelot!
"What are you making?"
A matzo tower! You see I'm using this strawberry jam to hold the crackers together.
"Interesting, is it for the masquerade?"
Yes, would you like to try, oh, hello Guinevere!
"Hello Merlin, Lancelot. What is this amazing tower?"
"Merlin is making a cracker tower for the masquerade!"
"Oh, may we try some?"
Certainly!
"Here you go, m'lady."
"Thanks!""This is delicious Merlin, wouldn't you say, Guinevere?"
"Yes, I would, but, we should go."
"Yes, m'lady!"
Hmm, why were they looking each other like that? Now, more jam. Hey, this isn't strawberry, it's love preserves!

The lines of battle were drawn, truce only held in place by this; so long as no one pulled a blade from its sheath, uneasy soldiers would stay their hands from shedding blood. Hot breath puffed into the air as wary soldiers eyed those they might soon kill or be felled by.
One such knight stood gazing across the field of battle, a whisper of motion at his feet. A purple snake slithered towards his brother in arms beside him. He drew his sword and struck the snake down. Both armies charged. The end of Arthur's reign was at hand.
