News of the world

Squire: M'lady, some news are just arriving from Avamar. Eilien: Is my father fine? Squire: Yes M'lady, he is fine. The word has been spread throw some citys. Lord Erik is getting married... Marion: ...Again... Eilien: To whom? Marion: To some High priesteces. Eilien: And that doesn't botter you? Marion: There is anything else that you know boy? Squire: Yes M'lady. There is a day of festivities to celebrate the marriage.

The boy leaves the room with a strange face.

Eilien: Mother...I just don't get it...if you and him...how is...again, you are crazy people. Marion: What is that you don't understand? Darling, I told you allready that your father is not a relative to me. He likes to think that he is the great dragon...that he has the balance...so, he is constructing his own legend. The legend of the Great Silver Dragon...he is writing the songs about him, for the bard to sing. With his own words, and with his own acts. He is gonna keep doing thisa kind of weird things...so get use to it. You ask if that kind of behavior dosn't botters me, and I say no. Because your father, the one I used to love is not the mighty dragon. Is just Erik. But does not come out often.

Marion laughs very deaply.

Marion: You know what darling? We should go to Avamar to congratulates your father and his new wife. After all, he is family. Eilien: Mum...are you drunk or just loosing your mind?? Marion: No, I am talking seriously. Get your best clothes. We are going to Avamar.
