Pucas's tale

The wind was sweeping, the stars were sleeping.
the soy was cheeping the cranberries weeping
and all along he was standing, on the golden hills of Herryborough.
the man with the golden nose, seven fingers and an old brown shoe.
the old man said to his friend, old beard "where did they go, those long days back, back to the nose, back days old of nose days gold."
"twas toes woes that told the shoes to take their foes and wink with night the days bright."
"Pass thus nightly gone wish that i may see beyond the caraboo tree?"
"old seeds, old seeds, old seeds" said the beard, all along unsure of his own fate.

Two nights later as old man sat in the moon's shade he said to the beard.
"never too late to begin with the creeping lorse?"
"nor is the night right for such a plaguish feind!"
"sorry" said old man, in his old and frail voice, twas soon he would suffer and die.

During hsi sleep old man was restless, his dreams more horrifying than ever, he lay feeling like he was in a daycare, with singing children all around. Old man woke up screaming and then coughed up some blood.

Beard was on the meadow during day, old man still asleep, for if he knew beard was converging with the day meadow, he would cease upheaval of the grand hrofmulf and the moon would crash into the great sea.

Old man sat on the moonlit tree of caraboo, unkowing of where his beard had gone, he cried many nights worth and sat, holding up the Hrofmulf with his soy energies. Old man sat and cried until he heard the sun rising, tonight he would stand against it.

Old man charged up the energies of soy that remained in his old and saggy flesh, he sent a powerful bolt at the rising sun as a word of warning. Suddenly old man spotted Old beard on the rise, he cried out "Run beard, for the light is on your caboose!"

Beard sent out corrupted finches at the old man, old man realised his folly and returned fire with many blasts of soy. Beard summoned a sun circle of energy around himself and corrupted finches continuously flew out of his beard- body.

Old man created a lorse - wall to protect him from the finches, but it would not hold. Old man summoned allof his energy into one powerful attack.

Old beard sensed the great energy coming from behind the lorse wall and turned to run, but the energy was drawing him in.

Old man sprouted soy stalks and jumped to his escape, while old beard was drawn into the soy vortex, to be consumed forever, but as beard closed in on the vortex, old man too was drawn in. Old beard had called on the ancient ties between old man and the beard to when he was merely a baby, and old man's old father seperated the long old beard from his baby face.

Old man fell off his stalk towards the hole, but as he fell he summoned the giant finch of Nasgarth to his rescue, the finch swooped in and caught old man, and took him to the plateau of soy, where beans and finches roamed freely.

Old beard, was never seen again...
