iebanehita: No oo!..
I don't mean introducing a new character,,rather, describing each scene/plot to make it real. Be vivid, so we can at least picture it.

I could be wrong sha..

I think the horse ride for two days requires some rest na, in-between. If not, how would they face an enemy when attacked?..#the cannibals.
They are not machines na.
They aren't machines.... They rested, the fact that I didn't mention it doesn't mean they didn't rest. I just felt it was unnecessary to pay much attention to the two days of horse ride because there are bigger things ahead, so I just skipped that part... Thanks smiley

iebanehita: And the next update would be in one week's time i guess?

I have a feeling you are too forward in this story and stingy with characterization.

THey rode to Distein for 2days and all that happened was some inclement weather and Castor's failing health caused by rough paths abi?
1. sad

2. Most of the books set in the Medieval ages are just like this, very foward.

3. Stingy with characterization? I can't believe this. Do you expect me to introduce new characters in every episode? I think the characters are okay.

4. We were riding towards a powerful enemy with our home base under attack. Do you think we'll take notice of petty things? The two days were just plain uneventfu. Datz all

5. Thanks sir

EPISODE 15

Mortal duel? Well, whatever that means it didn't sit well with Sir Bryan, because his erstwhile cool demeanour disappeared, leaving fear etched on his face.

'I'm sorry, Sir Castor,' he pleaded 'I didn't mean to spit it out like that. Please let's leave the duel out of this.'

'Pick the damned gloves mate. You should have thought before you spoke,' Castor said through clenched teeth.

'I can't. I won't fight you,' Bryan replied in what registered barely above a whisper.

'You snivelling coward! Glove or no gloves, I'll kill you all the same,' Castor shouted angrily, as he unsheathed his sword and charged towards Bryan like a bull.

Choi! My eyes must not see evil. I quickly closed my eyes to save myself the trauma of seeing Bryan's head split and scattered.

Kpan! Kpan!! Kpan!!!

... Shey Bryan's head get ringtone ni? Abi wetin dey sound?...

I opened my eyes to see Bryan guidingblocking Castor's blow with his sword. That was the cause of the 'Kpan' sound.

'What is going on here?' Fabianus' soft voice rang behind me. Not that I needed to answer him anyway, he could see things for himself.

'Athanasius, I'm disappointed in you,' he said 'how can you just stand by and watch them fight without making any attempt to stop them?'

... Dis guy no like me at all o, he want make the guys vent dem fury on me eh?...

'I was just about stopping them when you came in na,' I lied.

'Ok. Let's stop this nonsense. You hold Castor back, I'll hold Bryan.'

'No o. Let me hold Bryan, you hold Castor,' I protested. I knew what I was saying. Trying to stop Castor would be like f@*#ing with the devil.

After some minutes of pushing and pulling, we managed to tear the combatants apart, although both of them seemed more than eager to continue with their fight.

'For gods' sake, what is wrong with both of you?' Fabianus asked 'Why were you fighting?'

'Ask him, he started it,' Castor replied, pointing to Bryan.

'Not me, he did,' Bryan shouted back.

'You guys don't need this,' Fabianus said 'We have more problems on our hands than we imagined, you'd better get your acts together.'

'What problems?' I asked.

'Justus and his men have gotten to Casvillé, our land is under siege as we speak.'

'What?!' Bryan and Castor exclaimed.

'Where did you get that from?' I asked.

'I met a young squire from our land in the forest. He told me everything.'

'Where is that squire now?'

'Gone. He was sent to convey message to some people in Muvas.'

'OK then. What do we now?'

'There is one thing we can do to help our people and that is riding to Distein as fast as we can to kill the dragon. Then we'll go to Athens to help Hector and his men,' Fabianus replied.

'Do they need our help?' I asked.

'Of course they do. They are still in Athens because they can't face Justus' men. We must take the dragon's blood to them.'

'Ok. When will we ride to Distein,' I asked.

'When else? Now!' Fabianus pronounced.

** ** ** ** **

Our ride to Distein took two days like Fabianus said. It wasn't a pleasant ride at all. Castor's failing health, the not so clement weather and the rough path caused that.

I was so tired by the time we got to Distein that when Fabianus told us to take a break, I just flung myself on the cold, wet, muddy floor to sleep.

... Walai na twelve hours I go take sleep...

I had barely closed my eyes when I heard a loud roar. That roar was followed by the sound of many feet stamping the ground.

'What is happening?' I asked Fabianus.

'How do you expect me to know? Are we not here together?' Fabianus retorted.

My question answered itself when more than twenty half naked savages armed with spears and clubs formed a circle round us.

'Athanasius do something, we are in trouble,' Bryan said.

'Ehn?'

'Why do you always say 'Ehn'? Do you have problems with your ears?' Fabianus asked.

'No, no. I was just surprised, that's all,' I explained 'Errrm.... Who are our guests?'

'They are the people of Guvak. Mind you, they are cannibals.'

.... EHNNN!!! shocked shocked shocked ....

'What do you people do for fun here?' I asked Bryan, who was playfully turning a small knife in his hands. We were still waiting for Fabianus to return from the forest.

'We have the village games and of course the tournaments,' he replied.

... These people are suffering o. No Internet, no phones, no PSP, no Nollywood grin...

'Oh. Like that interesting one held recently in my honour,' I said, although I really think outeresting, if there is such a word, should qualify that tournament.

'Ah! You should have seen the tournament held in the honour of Lady Mina, there were so many chilvarious Knights present, it was so interesting.'

'Are Knights the only ones that can take part in the tournaments?' I asked.

'Tournaments are mainly for Knights but there is one tournament, the melee, that allows the participation of non-Knights,' he explained.

'Now tell me, what is the fun in striking and being struck?'

'The fun is for the spectators.'

'What is in it for you Knights?'

'I can't believe you are asking such a question,' Bryan said 'We fight for fame, glory and honour. Our lives are guided by the codes of chivalry. We are expected to be bold, brave and gallant at all times.'

Bryan was spewing the same sh!t I had always read in books of Medieval romance.

'If I may ask, what kind of Knight is Castor?' I asked, I would have kept shut had I known what that question would cause.

Bryan paused for a while, he was probably ruminating on what to say.

'Well Castor is a fine Knight,' Bryan started 'He is very good in combat, just like his three brothers.'

'Three brothers? I thought he had two brothers.'

'No, three. Hector, Proctor and Victor,' he said 'but Castor is not on good terms with any of them, they don't like him because of his greedy and pompous nature.'

Although Jealousy might have caused Bryan to exaggerate, but if that flash of anger on Castor's face, when he heard about his brother winning the trophy was anything to go by, there must be an iota of truth in what Bryan's saying.

'I don't know who he thinks he is, maybe the ho...'

Bryan's outburst was interuppted by a loud cough behind us. We turned round to see Castor leaning on the wall behind us. His eyes flashing teribbly with anger, his face contorted with rage

... Omo see Gobe!!!...

'Ha! Sir Castor. You are aw...wak...kke al...already,' I stammered, as I tried to think of words to pacify him.

'Shut up!' he shouted at me. He then turned to Bryan and said;

'Thank you for everything you said about, now take this.'

He removed his gloves and threw them on the floor.

'Sir Bryan, I challenge you to mortal duel.'
