Serpentis Family/Erik Eyolf/A Medicine for the Stress
Erik was in Montijo and after answering one more portion of annoying letters, he stopped for an instant to rest. He caught the bottle of wine and had a long sip. Then he catch his pipe to smoke a little of the Rollbar herbs. The spiraled smoke pleased him and the sensation of the weight absence was a great sedative. It was as walk in clouds and kiss the sky.
Captain Karl: "M'lord, can I enter? I think I have a pleasant surprise to improve your humor."
Erik Eyolf: "Did you bring me a beautiful girl of Montijo?"
Captain Karl: "I think those herbs give magic powers to you, M'Lord. You are almost right. They are two beautiful girls of Montijo."
Erik Eyolf: "Captain, you got right in the aim!"
Erik pulled the smoke of the pipe, waiting the girls entered. They were really two young beautiful women. Beautiful smiles. Beautiful eyes. He lifted and left that they removed his armor and courted him with praises. As it was easy to please a man's ego. The laughters. The sweet voices and the comfortable cushions. As in a magic dream.
Purple haze are in my brain
Lately things don't seem the same
Acting funny but I don't know why
Excuse me while I kiss the sky
Purple haze all around
don't know if I'm coming up or down
am I happy or in misery
What ever it is that girl putt a spell on me
Purple haze was all in my eyes
don't know if it's day or night
you've got me blowin', blowin' my mind
is it tomorrow or just the end of time...
Then Erik rested in those beautiful women's arms with the wine and the herbs. He thought that to be hated it was almost good as to be respected or feared. It was better to provoke confusions that to pass all life hidden behind orders. Nor every man with their smallness could understand it. The pleasure in discussing politics. The pleasure to struggle for larger interests. Small... small dreams for small men. Not for him. The people can hate or love, but the name should be there to be reminded. As he remembered a beautiful marker daughter that waited for him in Slimbar.
