Re: Night 5: Down under Gorna
Shelby Wright shuffles forward awkwardly with the stone still held in his arms. He glances around nervously but seems to grow in confidence when he sets eyes on Minmorc and even more when his gaze swings to the Queenz Guardz.
He turns back to Queen Moldavite and begins his tale.
"Yer Majesty, I's had a dream! It's a big dream, a powerful dream. I's had a dream where all mens ain't created equals. I's had a dream where the strongest is all onna same team and the colour of that team is red! Red with big muscles in it!" He points at the ogre guards in their red tabards. "Red with big spikes on it!" He swings around and points straight at Minmorc. "A Mighty Red Team and their Mighty Queen! Youz'll be unbeatable!"
He pauses, panting and short of breath as the excitement almost overwhelms him. After a few seconds he forges on with his tale.
"I was up in the hills about a week ago, Yer Majesty. I found a good safe spot to sleep under a tree what had got struck by lightning – I knowed it was a safe spot cos lightning never strikes twice inna same spot, does it? Specially when youz takes the lightning rod outa the tree, right? Well that's when the dream started, you see? And in the dream we are part of this team, Yer Majesty. You and me and all yer ogre guards in bright red uniforms with lotsa spikes and big red helmets. And the crowds are cheering and the spikey ball is thrown and an orc inna green uniform catches it and he doesn't stand a chance cos yer ogres chase him down and rip him apart and grab the spikey ball and carry it to the goal and it's a touchdown and the crowd goes wild and youz are the CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD!"
He stands with arms upraised, his eyes glowing with passion and his chest heaving as he stands there panting with excitement.
