[size=20]The Kerrnow Tales - Prologue[/size]
The king and the queen of any kingdom have to set the example to the people of the land, beggining with a large family. The Dimrills were a happy family, not so big, but absolutely royal in the real meaning of the word.
King Daron had a good and noble heatr. He was honest and kind. And that he tried to pass on to his children so that one day the boys would become honourable men.
Prince Baudwin (the heir of the throne)...
...and Dale (the younger).
Little princess Branwen was far too young to learn anything, except that she was very much loved by her parents. At that age she belonged entirely to her mother. She was Quen Mawde's joy and happiness...for such a long time the queen wished to have a baby girl...
The king was always with his children when the work of Estate allowed him to. Before being a king, he was a father who loved his family very much, and we al know that in medieval times it was not a very common behaviour.
Since Branwen was born, the queen spent less time with her male children. The king noticed they missed her presence very much and tried to explain it was perfectlky normal to a young man to miss mama, but it was time to grow up and become little men. They might even become his esquires
Dale was the one who could not accept that. He missed his mama terribly and blamed Branwen for that. It was all her fault! If she were never been born, it wouldn't have happened! Ever!
Baudwin, the older brother, now a teenager, knew all about Dale's feeling towards their sister
Baudwin: You should not think this way, little brother. Brwanwen is a gift of God to our parents, you should rejoice that mother is now so happy. You 'll see, she will grow up and you two are going to play together
Dale: She stole my mama from me...and I can never forgive that...
Baudwin: Do not say that ever again, Dale!! She is our sisiter, no matter what you might think or feel about her!! Know that!
In time it was difficult for King Daron to conceal that Baudwin was his favourite child. The beautiful prince was kind-hearted. He started to think about a possible marriage to his adored son
And for Dale as well. Aliances throught marriage were the best one. Later on he would think of Branwen...
Some Years Later
The two princes wer almost adults now. Each one had his men-in-arms to command and Baudwin helped his father in the afairs of Estate, learning, thus, to be a good king when the time was right for him to be one.
Not Dale. He was still the little prince....
But...unfortunately, the two brothers weren't very friendly anymore as they have been in childhood
And all because of two women...
An unfortunate surprise came to pass in an autumn afternoon...
The queen very saddened because she was the reason of the quarrel of her children, suddenly felt unwell and passed away before anybody could help her....
Dale was inconsolable...
After that, the two brothers became almost undeclared enemies.
The king followed his queen the next winter and Baudwin became king
Branwen became a fine girl... and she looked very much like her late mother, the queen.
The king her brother loved her very much.
Prince Dale hated her with all his heart and soul...and he had plans for both the king and the princess in mind...
Dale: One day...one day the king will be....me...

Donnarah: The old king Daron is dead
Tyrah: Yes, Iv'e heard that. Baudwin is far too good to be a king for this country. We have to do something.
Worda: Who do you think you are, Tyrah? Oden? You can't kill people at will just because you don't like them...
Tyrah: Bah! Baudwin is weak!! Now he's seeking a wife for the welfare of the kingdom, but you know he's always been in love with some girl...
Donnarah: Dale was born from my charm. He will be a good king...if Baudwin dies...
Worda: Enough!! I'm using the Encantata charm. He will be my eyes and ears in the land of men...
Donnarah: Encantata???? No!!
Worda: Right now!!
The three sisters gathered around the cauldron. Tyra started speaking the old words of the charm in a the ancient witch language
Tyrah: An'il nathrach, ortha bh'is bheatha, do thuar dhéanamh' *
An'il nathrach, ortha bh'is bheatha, do thuar dhéanamh'
Donnarah and Worda followed her chant
An'il nathrach, ortha bh'is bheatha, do thuar dhéanamh'
Worda started to feel some changes on her body, like there was something inside of it and moving
Worda: It is working!!!
Tyrah: An'il nathrach, ortha bh'is bheatha, do thuar dhéanamh'
Donnarah: An'il nathrach, ortha bh'is bheatha, do thuar dhéanamh'
Worda: He is coming, he is coming!!
Worda: Hello little one... you are very important to the world. You will be mommy's eyes and ears in the land of men
Donnarah: What's going to be his name?
Worda: Daoine Sídhe...Syd...my little immortal and invencible boy...
Tyrah: Wait!! Wait!! There is going to be one weakness in him, just one!!
Worda: What are you talking about?
Tyrah: I see a faerie mna-shee ... Erú...
Worda: She is going to be sorry for the end of her miserable immortal life if she dares touching my baby boy...Syd is going to be grand...more important and powerful than princes and kings...
*Serpent's breath, charm of death and life, thy omen of making
