Gath (Ch.1)

by Elias in Maia (my made up world)

Lord Gasen Gath stood astern The White Castle of Gath; his own tower (castle) that he stood on in the bright morning and looked over the land. But today something else caught his eye that neither was cattle nor a peasant, but it was a Unicorn which were very rare these days.
"Catch that horse and bring 'im to me!" shouted Gasen to his unnaturally small ugly servant that stood at his side at all times, who was known to be named Flad. "And get the steward to make the kitchen kid to stop stealing from the kitchen. But as the horse began to draw nearer, he saw a rider; proud and straight. As the guards charged out to capture the Unicorn they saw the rider too.
"Hark!" cried the leader of the guards. "Hark! Who goes there to the faraway palace of Gath!"
"'Tis only me. Sir Vorn de Nave and I ave lost me way!" said the rider.

Flad pattered down the corridor, looking for his lords son, Dribble.
Dribble was sitting in his chamber. He had locked himself in and was writing one of his many poems and stories. A knock broke the silence of the dark room lit only be a small magic candle that flickered difrent colours.
"Yes," said Dribble. "Come in," Flad walked in.
"Oh!!" cried Dribble, "Its Flad!!!"
"Yes it is!" said Flad sharply. "Its almost time for the feast! Wash your hand! Clean your teeth! Take a bath!"
Dribble sighed and walked very slowly to the royal bath room.

Dribble sat down and the table was quickly served with mutton, pork, bacon, beans, cabbage, and soup.
Something was wrong. Dribble's father was not there.
