Landsbyen -Into the North- An Epic Poem 31
They had only been practicing for a few days but DynDoeth was not surprised when he was made aware that elves were on their way to escort him to Rian. He had his spies as well. In fact, he figured that Rian would want to come for him, himself, so, he had his elf speak with the Forest Elf and let him know that there were strange things going on in his cottage. The Forest Elf would insist on Rian remaining in the Keep. He and Joulupukki had been laying out plans. While they practiced, he taught him several offensive magics including one of Erlenkönig's favorites. He called it the Web Snare. It was not meant to kill just to incapacitate. The magic it released was self contained and would hold another elf in a spider like web against a wall indefinitely. Joulupukki was more than a fast learner, it only took one time showing him how to perform a conjuring and he could do it as well as any elf. DynDoeth was amazed by this and also in his intelligence. It was his plan that they were using. When the elves arrived they were ready. A magical chime resounded throughout the cottage. “Are you ready,” DynDoeth asked Joulupukki? “Always,” was his response. They moved to the front door. Ceridfen was also busy during the time when they were training, rummaging through the closet where Aisling had stored most of their clothing when Erlenkönig and she lived there. She found some of his britches and a cloak and hurriedly let out the sleeves and pant legs, Joulupukki was much taller than his father. When Joulupukki donned the clothes Ceridfen had to look twice to be certain it was not Erlenkönig. DynDoeth, taking the lead opened the door to his cottage, the four elves waited there defensively. “What may I ask is this,” DynDoeth asked feigning surprise. “DynDoeth, as per the Council of six and Rian, lord liege of the council, we demand that you accompany us to the Keep to answer allegations of experimental use of magic without consulting the council first." “Oh, my,” DynDoeth began. “Those are serious allegations." He knew this elf and was rather fond of him. He was just doing his job and he held no ill will against him or any of the other three, even with their aggressive stances. Joulupukki, thought it best to make his entrance, walking up behind DynDoeth he called out, “DynDoeth, do we have guests?” The Elder elf stepped aside as Joulupukki filled the doorway. The four elves took a step back as they saw who stood there, two of them even bowing slightly. “I'm sorry my King, playing up the King part, he bowed, but it seems someone has been practicing some strange magic in my cottage and these kind elves have come to fetch me to answer to the council.” Joulupukki, with the most self-deprecating look on his face, announced, “My hole hearted apologies, DynDoeth, it was I who was practicing my magic. Yes, let us go see the Council and I will explain.” Joulupukki stepped out onto the cobbles with DynDoeth a half step behind him. “Tell Ceridfen that we shall return shortly, "he called to one of the elf children playing behind him. He jumped up and ran to the back of the house. Walking beside the lead elf DynDoeth started a casual conversation with him, “So when did this new title come about,” he asked. “Um, I'm sorry,” he asked, his attention completely focused on the creature in front of him. Surely this could not be Erlenkönig. He looked so similar of course he had not seen the king for over two hundred and fifty years, but DynDoeth bowed and called him King. DynDoeth chuckled, “Lord Liege of the Council, when did this title come about?” Now having his attention the elf picked up on DynDoeth's chuckle and cautiously looked around. The other three elves were so taken aback by Joulupukki's appearance that they kept a distance between themselves and he; while, keeping up appearances, Joulupukki strode very regally down the middle of the street. The council guard huffed, “You know Rian. He always wants to be more than he is.” “Indeed,” was his response and they both laughed. “May I ask you a question,” the guard queried. “Of course my friend.” “I do not mean to be offensive, but we were told Erlenkönig died many, many years ago.” “Forgive me for the confusion,” started DynDoeth. ”yes, Erlenkönig sadly passed away over forty five years past defending himself from a mob of humans.” The guard looked at him with surprise “Erlenkönig was the most powerful elf of his day. How could a few humans stand against him?” “You are correct, my friend. He had exceptional power inside of him but after the Battle of the Keep, his magic had been diminished when Bréagán mixed their magics together. Because you are a friend, and, so, Erlenkönig was friend to me too, I will tell you that an elf lead the attack on the king while he protected his wife and child.” “No!” was the other elf's response. “Why would any elf want to hurt our King,” his voice trailed off as the realization struck him. “A very good question you pose.” “Rian,” the guard asked? “I make no accusation against the Lord Liege of the Council.” DynDoeth assured him. “But, who is...Oh, he was protecting his wife and child. His son,” he asked? “Yes, this is Joulupukki who walks before you.” The guard gave him a strange look. “I know, I know, he is going to have to do something about that name. It just doesn't suit a king.” They walked in silence for a while, DynDoeth occasionally offering directions to Joulupukki, when he saw a rather curious expression move across the guards face.
