Sorcerer Adwen and His Dragon, Book One

By Bo Widerberg

When King Alaric the second was on the way to his Summer Castle, with his entourage, a powerful lightning with a tremendous thunder was heard. The King, and his Knight Oswald looked up in the sky, the sky was clear blue, not a single fluffy cloud could be seen. When the second flash came, Knight Oswald asked if he should ask Sorcerer Adwen what this is. Might be the right thing to do, answered King Alaric. Oswald as fast as his horse would make it, arrived at Adwen's cave. What is this thunder from a clear sky? asked Oswald looking at Adwen. What thunder? asked Adwen. I haven't heard anything, and the sky is blue. Are you shore you heard the thunder? Of course we are sure. You have to come with me to the King. As nobody could explain the lightning, and the thunder, Adwen went back to his cave. When Turwin had woken up, the two went for a flight around the cave mountain. There they saw several soldiers from the north. Adwen and Turwin went to the summer castle to le the King know that foreign soldiers had intruded on the Kings domain. Together with two hundred soldiers, and Knight Oswald they went back to where Adwen had seen the foreign soldiers. Turwin picked up large boulders with his powerful dragon feet, and let them fall on the soldiers. The horses were so scared they threw of their riders, and run away. It was an easy task for Knight Oswald to take all the soldiers prisoner. For the extraordinary help they had received from Turwin, the king made the dragon a General, and the leader of the Kings air-deference.

Sorcerer Adwen and Dragon Turwin

When the lightning-strike hit the Summer Castle, that King Alaric the second with his entourage was on their way to move in to. It was their usual seasonal move, during this, the warmer time of the year.

Everyone thought the God must be angry. It wasn't so much the lightning, and the terrifying thunder that followed that scared the people, they had all seen lightning-strike before and heard the thunder. They were upset and frightened because the sky was clear. It was as clear and blue as you could ever see it. Not even one single white fluffy little cloud could be seen in the sky. Where did the lightning come from? Said some of the people in the entourage in a frightened voice. There are no storm clouds around. Only a God, or a magician, can do things like this.

King Alaric the second, is a tall man. Well past six feet, and because of his good living, and a minimum of exercise he is far overweight, you would have called him obese even many years ago. However, he loves to wear his beautifully fitted and hand worked plaid, that his Queen has given him. It has a hand sawn pattern with his logo in the center of the back, done with gold and silver threads. He throws it over his shoulder and over his normal clothing’s, even when he is riding. And he has extremely little tolerance with his citizens. Listen and obey, is his motto.

Sitting alone in his well fitted cave some miles away, the sorcerer Adwen with a nasty smile on his face, thought. That pompous has-been will have to start listening to the people soon. To be born a King like he was, doesn't prove anything. To be a real King, you'll have to earn respect from the masses. And you'll have to show that you are for the people. It is not the other way around, that the people is supposed to be of service for this bastard King. Then looking in to the fire in his open fire place, he concentrated on the Summer Palace again, and another tremendous lightning hit one of the towers that cracked and some of the roof stones fell to the ground. Adwen's cave is a serious of cave rooms that goes deep into the mountain. He preferred to use
