The
impending trek brought out much ardour in Erik
But first he
had to say goodbye to Elise and Derek
He made his
way to the Badger and Boar
Then walked
up the stairs to the second floor
And sighed
when he saw the queue outside their door
“Get to the
back of the queue if you want to see the whore,” said the man at the front.
“I’m going in next and there’s still another score.”
Erik’s
response caused a huge furore
When the
force of his punch sent the man to the floor
Erik knocked
hard on the door
Inside the
room Elise yelled for more
The door was
opened by Derek
Who was
somewhat surprised to see his brother Erik
“Erik, what
on earth brings you here?”
“Just came to say goodbye before I disappear.”
“In search
of the monk, I presume,” said Derek as Elise’s cries of pleasure ceased in the
room.
“Yes, I
can’t get the little one out of my mind. Up north he has gone, but he shouldn’t
be too hard to find.”
“Sound like
Elise is done, Erik. Come inside.”
“Why do you
allow this, brother? Have you no pride?”
“I know it’s
hard to understand, but I really enjoy adhering to her demand.”
“Derek, what
is Erik doing here?” asked Elise. “I thought that he was…”
“He’s here to
say goodbye, my dear.”
“Yes,
Elise,” said Erik. “Without Borium I cannot have peace.”
“Erik, junk
that silly monk. Travel with us and I’ll find you a hunk. Give it thought at
least, for soon we will be heading east for warmer climates and a carnal
feast.”
“I’m afraid
that life would not be to my taste. Now I must make haste for there is little
time to waste.”
Erik hugged
them both and wished them the best
And then
hurriedly left the room to begin his quest
