But...Perseus continues: <BR/>I mourn my fathers death. But at least he was on his feet when he died. Lately, he had been going on and on about dying in battle. Perhaps he sensed the end approaching. As he was good friends with his fellow Candlebee Brandegoris, I know he would not have minded giving his life for the cause of the Candlebees. At least it was not a Saxon axe that took him down! On a darker note, I have misgivings about the story of my fathers last adventure. While i do not doubt the word of my fellow Leicestermen, there is a pain in their eyes when they speak of his deeds that makes me wonder if there is more to it. But perhaps it is just emotion that clouds my mind. Bledri was fearsome with a sword. Few could match him. And also his skill with lance and spear were reknown. Alas, had I been there, at least to witness! <BR/><BR/>Well, Now I will be called up to take my fathers place. Too early, some will say, but I am fit. I am ready. My father taught me well. The one thing I am not equal to is the duties of Medbourne. I think it would be better for everyone invloved if King Edar took it back into his keeping, as he has with the tower. Surely Edar can turn it around in no time.<BR/><BR/>I must speak with Edar. I very much wish to have the partial plate commissioned for my father. His Toledo steel sword was returned to me, for which I am grateful. For my coat of arms, I will take the sword and bee stripes of my father's. Only when I have become a candlebee will the two bees be added. and only when I am a knight of the round table will I add flames to the sword. I wish my father were still alive, but so much is happening now that I am terribly excited also. Perhaps I should not feel this way, but I cannot change my heart. I long for adventure.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04789433544673567188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-988704982736069552.post-43306549834454349842009-03-29T12:25:00.000-07:002009-03-29T12:25:00.000-07:00Perseus, Son Of Sir Bledri speaks: My father was ...Perseus, Son Of Sir Bledri speaks: <BR/><BR/>My father was a great man. Difficult times forged the steel of his blood thusly. Bardon, Bedigraine, Carrowhaise, so many great battles... Pain and loss and betrayals and triumphs. This is the man who brout back the Obelisk of Minerva and the statue of David back from Rome! Yes, that statue of David! This is the man who fought five elite banner guardsman and a battalion commander and slew them all...While majorly wounded! There are too many stories to recount. <BR/><BR/>My father had his flaws, but he was always true to his lord and land. Even when Medbourne burned to the ground, and the peasants were on the brink of banditry, Bledri spent ten Librum to keep them fed! Perhaps King Edar had some influence there. I know he was sorely struck by the loss of Sir Amadis, as they were friends. The Candlebees meant a great deal to my father. I should like to be a Candlebee. Perhaps even more than a Round Table Knight. Well maybe. I think my father would be disapointed if I didn't become a Candlebee.<BR/><BR/>Now, as they bring my fathers body to be buried and his name inscribed on the Pillar of Resistance, I see the evil his swordarm attacked and his shield guarded and the responsibility his tireless shoulders bore, and I wonder if I will not buckle under the pressure. Will I ever be equal to this great man? No. I must be better? He would expect it of me.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04789433544673567188noreply@blogger.com
