Tales of Tamar

The night was pitch dark, only a few candles in the windows of Hurry are burning.
Outside the walls, the undead are scratching over the wooden blanks of the gates.
A lightly wind was blowing over the sea and in a distance you could hear the whispers of the fallen comrades.
A smal guy with blood red hairs was running into the townhall.
"Maid Marry, Maid Marry, you have to leave the town. Now! They are coming. You have to leave!!"
"No, I cannot leave my people. I lost my town once, we survived in the ruins between the undead, I still have to fight." Marry was in a tired mood, but she stood up of her throne made of bones.
"Look at my throne, James, look at it! Do you see the crowned skull, James."
Marry put her helmet down and threw it powerfull in a corner of the townhall.
"James", she whispers," do you see this litle white bundel of my hair?" A small insanity was in her eyes.
"JAMES DO YOU SEE IT?" Marry shouted.

She took the head of James and kissed him on the forehead whispering in his ear:
"Remember the undead king James. I still see his glowing eyes in my dreams. Whenever I close the mine, I hear him loughing, James. And you?"
Marry did not wait any answer.
"James, I lost a lot of men in the fights against the undead. Why do you think, we both, only we two little humans, survived the confrontation with the undead King?" Marry turns arround and was walking with hard steps to the door.

"Maid Marry"
"Yes James", she turns around.
"Maid Marry what do you think, the undead King wanted from us?"
" I donot know James, The brave army of Melax destroyed the last undead. All I have are these bones on my throne. But what I know James, I will send you out on a quest."

Dear Maid Marry,

As you know I left Hurry and rode directly to the ruin of the undead.
The weather is very good these days and there was no rain. I am still motivated to find something. Only when the night falls, I feel a little afraid, but up to know, I did not see any of the undead.
So my time is pasing by, day by day. Now I am at the border to Baltars realm on a little farm. I gave the farmer 2 pieces of gold to deliver this letter to you. I hope he was it worth.
As you can imaging, I am missing Hurry and you, of course.
But now, listen.
Last night, the farmer told me something of a person called Anokou. When I asked him to tell me more, he reefused all, even the nice dinner of his lovely daughter.
Marry you have to know, imaging that, he is living here outside only alone with his doughter. Oh she is so cute.
Yes I know, I am just 16 and I cannot know what love is, but with her - she is called Esmeralda -no, I better do not think of it.
Esmeralda is interested in my sword and my shield and asked me, if I wanted to go on adventure with her.
But I cannot take her with me, I have a higher quest to fulfill.
Now I am writing this letter for you, and tomorrow I will ride into the mountains, to look for this Anokou.


Greetz,
James

Dear Maid Marry,


The mountains are great. There are eagles flying over the summits and you can hera them crying over miles and miles. I like this very much, the silence, the echo of my own voice, the eagles and from time to time there are some goats on the slopes.
Now I am riding since two days into the mountains, and there is still a little path to go.
Oh, yesterday there was something that impressed me very much. I came to a little forest. it was one of this with closely coniferous. But direkt in the center of it, there was a little clearing. And imaging, on this clearing there was a big and hughe oak. Oh damn, this must have been a very old one. I realy could feel the matjesty of the age of this tree.

Oh, last night, it was the first time I heard these drums.
You remember Esmeralda, her father told me something about the orkish drums. I donot know, if I heard it or not. I will see it.

Greetz,
James

Dear Marry,

Oh what a luck, I survived. I rode into the mountains and watched the birds. From one moment to the other, there was a big green smelly orc in front of me.
My horse threw me down and I had to fight. Dough, what a fight!
I did not remember any tales with orcs, in which they are that strong. I bashed and dashed like you told me to do in outless and sensless situations. But happily I won.
Oh dear, I am realy shocked up to know. I cannot forget this ugly face and the big tooths.
He had a rusty sword and a leather helmet. And his blood was green. The damn foolish I am, I did not hide his dead body, and so I had to escape from a realy big army of Orcs.
I belive, they are still hunting me.

Oh before I forget it, but please donot worry about me, he hit me with his rusty sword and made me a heavy bleeding wound.
It is healing now, but last night I had a fever. My leg hurts and hurts and something like pus is coming out of it.

Greetz,
James[/oldscroll]

Dear Maid Marry,

We're pleased to see that you share the same language with us. More over, my scout delivered me the message that your realm is located on the same island as our's! I'd appreciate it if we could stay in contact and help each other against all these commercial language speaking lords and ladies---if necessary.

As I read, you had some problems with Lord Haffax? Please, let me know, if I can help you somehow---even though we are still a very young realm on tamar.


So say we all,

Lady Nellwyn
