Introduction: Warrior at the River
The warrior kneeled in front of the Archduke and he said: “Bring me the prettiest flower from the river bank to decorate my table.” Rising, proud, with glinting armour plates, the warrior went to the forest. He walked a few leagues until the river and looked around the banks. The crystalline waters reflected his elegant helmet and armour: gained by his bravery and skill with all kinds of weapons. Looking up from his reflection, he noticed what he was looking for. There was a flower of large petals which danced between yellow and blue hues. It was just what he needed but he had to make his way across the river.
To be bereft of his precious armour would be against his code. As if that wasn’t enough he could only throw his mace to the other side which meant swimming without a weapon. It was simply against his best judgement. Yet, his Archduke had ordered him and he was compelled to obey. He looked into the bright sky and asked for a valkyrie to watch his soul while he took such risk. The mace landed with a heavy thump and with almost as much noise the armour fell onto the ground. The splash competed with such drastic oppositions to gravity once he jumped in his linen under-clothes into the fresh waters.
From beneath the surface he looked at the sky and would’ve sworn that a valkyrie was watching over him. That meant he was known as a great warrior but also that danger lurked nearby. He went up for air but could only gasp before a hand pulled his right leg and was submerged deep into the river. As he descended he saw the environment change, the waters got darker and round fishes with large teeth surrounded him. Once his feet let him stand on the riverbed a colourful, smiling face appeared before him.
Rich jewellery and cloth dressed the scaly skin and the warmth of her expression made him forget his surroundings. She didn’t speak but he understood. She gently waved goodbye with a delicate hand and he found himself propelled upwards in a moment; as if water was pulling him up. Before he realised he needed the air he was able to breathe again. It was as if time hadn’t passed, as if nothing had happened and he easily reached the riverbank he had set to. He saw the flower, dancing in the breeze with flowing petals and colours. Her face remained in his mind even as his body acted with automatic obedience. He remembered his oath to his Archduke yet he couldn’t take it from her.
Some say that he returned with an inferior flower and at the Archduke’s disgust he was exiled; despite being a legendary warrior. Others say that he returned with no flower and refused to submit to the Archduke’s whims; which meant he had to leave promptly or be executed. The truth is probably somewhat in the middle. What is known is that the warrior set out on his own and became champion of the river people and nemesis of the aristocrats’ fancies. His stories are still told. They brought the unofficial title of Knight of the River Lady. He also gained the grace of the valkyrie that saw him submerge in the river. She always followed him into battle and it is said that when his time to go came he got a prized place in the halls of Valhalla.
