Later with the feasting and celebrations over with and their wounds tended, then
once more ever onward these hardy adventurers went most determined like upon
their way.
As testament to their courage and undying credit these band of brave warriors
stubbornly and stoically endured many further hardships.
Eventually though, after many more months of being severely tested by the
wicked elements and terrible terrain, also encountering inept desert bandits and
cut-throats this band of Vikings finally reached their intended far off destination.
At long last after this epic journey reached its end and somewhat fewer in
number these warriors, though a little weary finally completed their trail, arriving
eventually at the fabled hidden Kingdom Of Krozakistan.
It was here in his very birthplace that the great slayer Barak fought an heroic
epic battle with an evil conjured up long dead warrior.
Indeed this was a most unholy disgusting thing, a cadaver revived from his deep
grave by the very worst kind of dark sorcery.
Know you this as here was also a foeman who in life was a cruel, evil
swordsman, a warrior feared, despised and hated by all before his death by poison.
Oh and a death which of course was long and long ago.
Anyway no matter, as Barak had fought this adversary who at that time of
combat was still no better a thing as an animated corpse, than when it lived and
breathed long ago as a mortal man.
No matter, as said after a long glorious heroic battle, a battle which took place
in the great arena of Krozakistan, this before thousands of onlookers.
Well finally the big Barak after some hard fought exhausting hours, under a
blazing sun at length managed to make this vile disgusting creature a dead thing
once more.
Mind you though, in this close fought duel the long dead warrior showing off
his masterful swordsmanship in most confident fashion, managed to clip both
the giant’s ears into little more than elfin like points.
Mind you this little bit of slicing though was a matter less thing, as in Barak’s
opinion that minor little piece of butchery or rather surgery was to the giant of
no real concern at all.
For in all truth perhaps to the decaying but nevertheless dangerous swordsman’s
credit at least the ears were cut quite neatly.
Well very neatly as it happened, aye and this to match each side of Barak’s big
bucket head by this obscene dead thing.
Also each ear beforehand was perhaps a little imperfect, aye a shade rough and
raggedy.
