The Land of Grimney - The Illustrated Adventures of Cora Pearl, aged 12

*Shygar's blood seeps through his armour, the weary warrior staggers on through the dark. He can barely find the strength to step forward as the weight of his armour is pulling him down. Shygar does not dare remove his helmet, as the mire creatures would find him easier to eat. Shygar falls forward and the filth of the mire seeps over him, and he loses consciousness*.

Gwenllian gallops in on Kalvos horse

Shygar, can you hear me? I t is Gwenllian daughter of Rhinos you must try and find a little strength I do not think I can lift you onto the horse alone

this is hopeless, I must do something!

Gwennllian throws back her head and in a voice that rings across the mire says

I Gwennliian daughter of Rhinos, , call on all of the wizards of the the southern seas past and yet to be, give me your power for just one brief moment!

the sky turns red and a southerly wind blows across the mire, Gwenllian lifts Shygar in her arms and lays him gently across the back of the horse
Thank you my people, now I must get you to the hospital and then ride to Pergines arch to make sure Philomena is safe
