Helosis and Geglick

Helosis had a reputation for never backing down from a fight or a battle. He rolled his eyes when bards sang of his exploits. Many exaggerated. Sure of his position as the number one warrior in Sea Range Meadows. Until Geglick’s songs trumped his. Something he had never anticipated. Who was this Geglick? He wanted to stomp the man into dust pressed. But a haughty, sophisticated, well-toned, muscular warrior stopped him. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, and half dressed. He could not take his eyes off this marvel. She was Geglick of course. They began a courtship based on mutual animalistic lust and attraction. But they also had many other things in common too. Their bravery of course. Geglick was always the first one into a battle, no matter what faction. He could not stop her. She was like a well-trained, charged up battle horse. In one particular incident he was intimidated by a large gargoyite with huge teeth. This guy was huge beyond anything Helosis had ever seen, and Geglick was ahead. He tried to get between his wife and this killing machine, to eliminate himself grief. But before he could, Geglick sliced into the gargoyite, and he fell down quite dead.
