Hear ye, for the sad saga of Larkin i shall hereby tell...
Larkin, beset with grieve and woe, because he had failed the Examination of Differential Maths, gathered his band of trusted friends, and grimly started to speak.
"Tonight, let the spirits of ye old alcohol dull our pain, and the maidens soothe our restless hearts!"
The band let out a huge whoop, and soon the band was lost from sight, amidst the raging snow and biting cold...
So the story tells, that Larkin led the group to the great mead-hall, where they proceeded to seek pleasurable company, and quaffed down many, many pints of ale.
Being the glum bugger that he was, Larkin was left alone, while his companions caroused with the womenfolk.
But then, he set eyes on a raven-haired lass who came and conversed with Larkin. Pleased of the company, and ignorant of what was about to happen, he offered the girl a drink.
But alas! The lass was a deceitful one, and she had not told that she already had a suitor...
With the cold breeze blasting from behind him, the suitor emerged from the doorway, and saw Larkin, and the girl sitting close together.
Letting out a mighty bellow, the man grabbed Larkin, and smashed his nose with a ham-sized fist.
The following struggle has been sung by skalds all around the land, for the ferocity shown on both sides was truly of legendary proportion...
The orderlies removed the combatants from the mead-hall, and outside the misunderstanding was brought out, and an ashamed truce was agreed.
Brooding, Larkin cursed all the powers that were, and headed for his distant homestead.
But the journey through the night had only begun...
Had fun writing it but i think i'll finish it later
My fingers hurt.
