The year is coming to and end, once again separating the past and the future, the history and the dreams… so get ready - the Blue Monkey is coming!
So, coming back to the recent events… Lady Tonika, having made her proposal to the boldest knights of the Lands, didn’t happen to be seen anywhere around here for quite some time. But it was not the end of all that cursing-stories…This time, the famous crusader, Magister Sargon, got himself into trouble. After drinking some good elven wine in a nice and friendly company in the Tavern, he decided to get into an adventure… well, he succeded – his encounter with a mage (whose name and person is absolutely unknown) resulted in a dreadful curse, which slowly began to transform this kind and noble warrior into a lich…
Of course, the inhabitants were shocked, and immediately offered any possible help to lift the curse. But alas… the wizards, which consulted Sir Sargon, had told us all distressing news. According to their research, there existed only a single way to cure the Magister: “If two ladies agree to give their love, you’ll be saved”... So, the Magister didn’t have much to choose from… he had to send delegations to Lady Tarna Saldeiska, and to Lady Tonika…
The kind Lady-Naga didn’t hesitate for too long. She was as shocked, as all the others were, but still did not refuse Magister’s proposal, and assured him, that she will marry him, if that’s what he needs, and that she’s doing it of her own free will…
Yet, the other Lady could not be found… We can only guess, where she is, and why did she disappear so unexpectedly… So, the wizards’ recommendations still weren’t satisfied, and the curse continued to drain the life out of Sir Sargon… until one day…
Not all of us could possibly believe, that there is no other way to lift the curse, and so everyone were thinking, researching, trying to find another cure. And, finally, it was found. The Coordinator of the Paladins Order, Sir Logan Peacekeeper, and his brother, a half-elf mage Grand Wizard Kemanuel, had had a two-day consultation with each other, which led to their discovering of a magic ritual, which could help them to call upon the powers, needed to cure the cursed Magister… so, after spending another three days to get to Sir Sargon’s castle, Sir Logan took a magic scroll, and began to read it…
Just a few moments later, a gold dragon got himself into the castle and stopped, looking at the Magister. Sir Sargon was totally cured! Nothing remained to remind about the horrifying curse which befell him. So, the dragon was a little late, although he, too, had found a book which described, how to lift such curses…
Joy filled the Lands, when Sir Sargon was finally saved from his anguish, and the long-planned party, after having been postponed due to the unpleasant events, had finally begun. These were good and merry time, and everyone who came there surely won’t regret it. Sitting by the fireplace, telling stories, asking riddles… one really might wish to get back on those days!
And, as we can see now, every cloud has a silver lining. Although the Magister’s curse was successfully lifted even without fully meeting the requirements which the wizards stated, Lady Tarna and Sir Sargon are not going to retract their words. So, another wedding is going to happen in the Lands very soon! Our congratulations and best wishes to them!
And once again – Happy New Year!
