.... Early in the day the guard of the forest garrison couldnt believe in his eyes, the champion of champions, Lord Etir Sayest has arrived at Krull with his herald, invited by General Sir Agnar but also with a letter from the emperor of Krull asking him for a meeting ... So Lord Etyr following a rather non adventurous passage of Krull forrest arrived at the city of Krull....
Shortly after his arrival the forest guard general Arimathias welcomed him in a rather more formal and polite manner that then guard previously. Hail champion of champion he said, and welcome to the magnificent city of light , Krull , may you have pleasant stay here sire !!! Thanks , was Lord Etir's reply
Then Etir and his companion followed General Arimathias to the twin gates of krull, General Arimathias was telling Lord Etir about the legends surrounding the stones used to build Krulls' walls and their mystic powers .... Lord Etir was very interested to hear this stories and couldnt wait to see the big and buzzing city of Krull, known for its wealth, various stores and goods and of course beatifull women ....
As Lord Etyr approached the opened left gate ( Gate of Valor ) , General Sir Agnar in his impeccable Shiny armor ( that was polished twice as much on that day ..) was there to welcome him and take him to the castle .. general Arimathias ocne again welcomed Lord Etir and headed back to his post...
BUT as Lord Etyr was going through the gates of wisdom , he was ambushed by female fans who have heard that the champion of champions was cpming to krull , they were all around Lord Etyr , flirting etc with him and Lord Etir didnt seem to mind at all the presence of all these beatiful Krull Women.. For a moment General Sir Agnar was about to take out his sword but didnt ... isneatd he waited patiently until all the women have talked to Lord Etir , passed him some notes etc .... Lord Etir is already very popular in the city of krull !!!!
General Sir Agnar took Lord Etir through the city of krull , while Etir's companion was taken via a different route to his quarters,. Lord Etir was surprised how big and prosperus and busy the market of Krull was and was asking General Agnar questions that Agnar was more than happy to answer. One could say these Knights were friends and had a lot of respect of each other, after all they were the no1 and no2 jousting knights .... the very best ...
Lord Etir and General Agnar advanced through the city and approached the lowered barracks walls...
They then entered the barracks, where a big part of Krulls army was in formation as a mark of respect to Lord Etir. Jousting is a way of Life in krull, inside the barracks there were over 100 horses knights and as Lord Etir passed by they all shouted ' Hail Lord Etir Sayest , Champion of Champions, we salute you '
As Lord Etir advanced through the pikemen and archers he was surprised by the size of the army of Krull. ' We are indeed preparing for War against the dragons alliance my dear friend ' General Agnar told him... The emperor has gathered a great army to ensure victory but as he will tell you himself he wants your help ...' Lord Etir and Agnar advanced through the crowded barracks
Just before entering the royal quarters , Lord Etir was greeded by the elite of krulls' army commanders, battle hardened they all welcomed Lord Etir to Krull and wished him a pleasant stay...
Upon arrival to the Royal quarters Lord Etir was taken to meet the Queen Of Krull , Lord Etir was taken back by her beauty and royalty and manners but also kept looking at a young court Lady, Lady Allia who also welcomed him and wished him a pleasant stay.
General Agnar showed then Lord Etyr the banquet preparations for him , took him to the dining room and Lord Etir was shocked by the quantity of silver in the room , it was so shiny everywhere, something he commented to Agnar who replied ' The Queen is very specific about the polishing of all silver in the quarters' ....
General Agnar took Lord Etir through the Royal chambers where Lord Etir noticed the so many crowns on display... there were lots of them ...
' All conquered by the empire of Krull ' general Agnar said with a clear sense of pride ... Lord Etir knew that the emperor he was about to meet was a warrior also and he and he predecessors were responsible for many wars and battles .... with those thought he arrived at the gates of the throne room.
The guards talked to General Sir Agnar first and then asked Lord Etir to wait for a few minutes. But that was only a few moments as seconds later Lord Etir entered to meet The Emperor of Krull, Iseroth
As Lord Etir entered the throne room, Emperor Iseroth , known to ignore protocol left his throne and approached Etir and greeded him very warmly... ' welcome champion he said ...' and Lord Etir felt that the whole of Krull was very welcoming...
Emperor Iseroth spoke briefly to Lord Etir and told him that he is grateful that he has agreed to Agnar's invitation to visit krull and train Krull knights in some of his techniques that he used in jousting. He told him that they will meet again and then Agnar and Etir left the throne room. Lord Etir couldnt help but to look again at all those crowns of conquered kingdoms...
General Agnar took Lord Etir for a quick pint of the famous Krull Ale , Lord Etir was more than happy with that Ale to say the least after all this journey !!!
Lord Etir then was taken to his quarters and Agnar left him to rest as he would come later to take Lord Etir to the banquet that was to be held for his arrival.. As Lord Etir entered the royal guest quarters he was pleasantly surprised to find Lady Allia in his room ( in a different dress .... )
