Bribery Works
Mar. 23rd, 2006 01:06 pmT.E.P. has been encouraging me to write more (or indeed at all, to be completely truthful). Being T.E.P., he is aware that bribery and corruption may succeed where good intentions fail and we have agreed a tariff of charges accordingly.
According to said tariff of charges, one drabble read by persons other than T.E.P. earns me a book (with words in). Assuming that anyone is reading, posting it to LJ counts so here goes. For completeness' sake the complete Rules for drabbles are to be found behind the link above.
The Ice-Wars Of The Southlands In The Year Of Our Lady 987
A Brief History
Long ago and far away, a fair land of velvet hills and porcelain cities. Its placid people mutton-rich, their enemies few - until boldly from ice-bear's North, the Dark One. Cold and old as winter and many times more cruel; her onslaught relentless as the slow advance of glaciers and with no more mercy. Then, at that dark time, a hero. A bright steel blade of a man, loyal friends behind him, dauntless defender of that land although of foreign birth.
Such glory! The hero's valiant few! The Dark One's mighty hordes! And at battle's end? Victory to Her, of course.
