Vallejo Family/Maelg/Roleplays

Maelg looks up from supporting one of his two remaining men as they traipsed towards Partora. 'Let's rest here, where we can see the walls of Partora. At this pace we should get there in about 12 hours.' The men slump to the ground, too weary to even make a fire, and fall asleep instantly. Maelg looks towards Partora, thinking of a comfortable inn, with a bed with fresh straw in it. 'I need to get to Perdan as soon as possible. Those Siron and Fontanese bastards have dared to enter Perdan Lands.' He says to no-one in particular. With that Maelg leans up against a tree and wonders if Blen still has his liver.

'Rise damn you RISE!' Maelg shakes his fist at the sky, impatient that the sun is ponderously slow in rising, it seems, this morning. 'I need to get to Perdan soon! Magnus is going to get a head start in the competition, and I haven't even tried ONE Blood Eagle yet!' Magnus hefts his bag of gold in his hand, wondering how much mead Magnus is able to drink and whether he has the coin to pay for it.

As the sun finally rises, Maelg starts kicking his men. 'Get up you lazy sods! Magnus has already started gutting people and drinking Perdan dry! If there's no mead left by the time I get there, you lot will be standing OUTSIDE the walls when the Sirionites show up!' With that the men gather their belongings and start the final leg to Perdan, hoping there is a stockpile of mead in cellars.

'Good work men, we got here on time, and by the looks of it, there's still plenty of mead. Go and find somewhere to rest, we may have battle on the morrow.' Maelg looks over at the courtyard, quiet except for Evangeline honing her skills with one of the academy's masters. 'Now, which dive of an Inn would you think Magnus is in? We have much to talk about.' Maelg looks to the battlements briefly, and squints. 'Is that a horned helmet I see poking out from behind the wall?, it is!' With that Maelg yells at the top of his voice, 'MAGNUS! WHY ARE YOU HIDING BEHIND THAT WALL? AFRAID THE POINTY-EARED FAIRIES ARE COMING FOR YOU??'

Maelg manages to pull himself together, wipes the tears from his eyes and sees Magnus heading towards him. Once he manages to draw a breath he reaches out and puts his arm around Magnus' shoulder. 'Lets go have a drink, meads are on me,' He continues, 'I wouldn't worry about her, she's always so serious when it comes to nobility. Me, I'm just a stable hand who married her to get a foot up into nobility. Now look at me, "Battlegroup Commander"!' With that Maelg laughs and walks off towards the nearest inn, still chuckling to himself.

Maelg is sitting in the "Maimed Seagull" a dive of an inn if you have ever seen one, with his sworn shield-brother Magnus. 'Magnush my friend, I fink I shud go. I haven't sheen Evangelne for a long time. I wash full of crud out there in the courtyard.' Maelg downs the rest of his mead. 'I love her. I alwaysh have.' With that Maelg gets unsteadily to his feet, and stumbles towards the front door. '....4 o'clock and aaaaalllls weeeelllll...' can be heard from the watch. 'No it bloody ishn't. Hey you over there! Wheresh Evageline staying? You don't know? What ushe are you to me?' 'Evangeline! Evangeline! Eva.....' could be heard from Maelg as he stumbles through the sleeping streets of Perdan.

Maelg wakes in the doorway of some house with his concerned scribe, Breck shaking him forcefully. 'Maelg! My Lord! Wake up! The Marshal of Perdan has sent orders!' Maelg, with only a little help from Breck, gets to his feet, the thought of action sobering him immediately, well almost. 'My mouth feels like a cat slept in it... What are the orders?' Breck unrolls a parchment and reads aloud '1500cs of archers to move the the mines of Perdan, everyone else in Perdan to misdirect to Bescanon' 'Sire, Magnus is already moving out to face the monsters' 'Good. I fear Perdan City could not handle him for too much longer. Breck, ready the men, we "move" to Bescanon, now!' As Breck sprints off, Maelg thinks to himself 'I almost feel sorry for those monsters... almost'|}

Maelg looks up to see the full moon is still in the sky, and realises that it is almost sunrise, and the moon he was looking at was Magnus' bare behind as he hung it out over the wall for something to do...

At the border of Bescanon 'Evangeline, We must part. It was good to fight alongside of you. Please give this to Magnus, when you see him in Perdan.' Maelg hands Evangeline a crude necklace of pointy ears. 'Tell him I'm winning 14-3 in the blood eagle contest'
