Sagabjorna, Berserk of Brunhilda's Berserkergang, enters the Royal Banquet Hall of Queen Desdemona. She has never seen so much (cooked) food in one place. She is kind of groggy, having just recovered from her latest Bereserk re-ast. But this time, she is sure to arrive fully clothed, donning her best skins, with her pet Lurch in tow. Lurch is (unfortunately for some, fortunately for others) totally naked.

First, Saga bows to good Queen Desdemona, who seems occupied with friends & family, but still takes the time to offer a kind smile and acknowledging wave. Then, the Bersek bows to the vision that is Queen Audofleda. As Queen Audofleda turns to gaze upon the two heathens, Lurch becomes excited. He tugs Saga's chain, straining to bow to her.. placing a single long-stemmed yellow rose at her bejewelled feet, and another at the feet of Queen Desdemona.

"It is an humble offering," I say to them both, searching their eyes for approval, "but they are without thorn, Yellow Roses of Peace, and they are all we have to give for now. Soon though, my main ship shall arrive, with more gifts to please the eyes.."

Lurch grunts in agreement. He was equally moved by the Poetry competition! Congratulations all.
