Book content

"Sir Elrich! Hubris
Suits you poorly", the ringleader speaks,
His dagger is at the girl's neck.
"Where is your company?
Your brothers in arms ran
In fear from the Aeberholt's Scourge?"
Sir Elrich draws his sword,
Tosses the scabbard aside.
He measures his foes up,
And replies with a smirk:

"My company is finishing off
The rest of your godless gang.
Put down your weapon,
Or the Host be my witness,
I'll end you." The leader laughs
In his arrogance: "For your impudence
The first one to pay is the innocent.”
One slice, and the blood gushes out
From the cut in the neck. The knight is blinded
With fury, thirsting for payback. A bow
Is barely drawn when Sir Elrich
Sends the archer's head flying
With one swing. He charges at another.
One by one in the chaos of battle
The villains are bested.
Terror and fear. The Death is
Approaching. The ringleader,
Dastardly Treban, the Aeberholt's Scourge,
In vain he raises his shield.
With a short, feinted swing
Sir Elrich's blade cuts at his arm,
Then chops off his head.

At last the soldiers
Arrive only to witness their lord
Surrounded by corpses...
