Introduction: Fact Against Fiction
It wasn’t every day that the forest saw guests. Not that it wasn’t an inviting and enchanting place but, there were rumours. Some people had seen strange plants and even spirits or so they said. On the one hand it gave a mysterious and eerie feel to the mention of the forest. On the other hand, such accounts weren’t much more reputable than any old wives’ tale. There’s the belief that behind every story there’s a seed of truth. In an unstable mind that can be enough to feed a delirium: like that of a formidable monster to be vanquished within the forest. There was at least one such person to believe that in this town.
The self proclaimed knight wore his rusty armour, grabbed his dull spear and mounted his squalid bird. It was a sort of yellow ostrich which no one knew where he’d found yet was rather fast in its day. Nowadays, in spite of its eye-catching plumage, the bird felt as rusty as the plates that protected the old man’s bony body. Entering the forest in a, relatively, agile mount was a good idea; one which prevented him from falling on the irregular terrain. “This young’uns don’t know what a real adventure is. They are cursed with the fashions and musics of today. Don’t despair my silent maiden for I will conquer the beast and you will be free with the truth!”
Such a maiden was merely the daughter of his neighbour which liked modern music a bit too much. Still, the mention of a maiden must’ve stirred the imagination of a nearby spirit who materialised before the knight. The bird stopped suddenly and he landed face down on the soil. The forest spirit fluttered over the knight and around the bird. “You two are a queer pair.” The knight was offended but at seeing the gracious movements of the spirit calmed down. “Fair lady, I’m looking for the most formidable monster that lies in the heart of this forest. Pray tell, in which direction shall I find the beast?”
As always, when madness clashed with reality the result wasn’t pretty; no matter how much magic is involved. “I’m afraid there’s no such thing in this forest, valiant knight. Perhaps you are talking of another place?” “No! It’s here, the monster shall be slain and I will be the one to slain it!” “Very well, if you want to look for a monster then you can search all you want but don’t harm the life here or I’ll give have to turn you into a mushroom until you learn your lesson.” She smiled. “I won’t disappoint my silent maiden. Thank you for your help fair lady.”
Of course, he was never seen or heard of again. The following day his much admired mount returned to his house with an empty seat and that’s all that could be traced to him. More stories followed and, somehow, the bird seemed bored every time fancy speculation was within earshot. In fact, he tended to fall asleep as if it were a lullaby. Perhaps reality was more incredible than any fantasy a human could conjure up.
