Something unexpected happened once upon the time when Balthas still made his
long journeys to villages and told his magnificent stories to villagers. It
came to be that he once arrived to a long narrow bridge at the northern parts
of his lands and met this young, proud-looking and arrogant guy. The young boy
overlooked old Balthas and claimed that he should cross the bridge first.
Balthas didn't agree to the suggestion because they were at his quaters and
they boy was evidently much younger that he.
'When Balthas didn't get out of the way the boy started to mock our travelling
bard. The young lad thought that he was greater singer and better story-teller
than his opponent and wanted to challenge old Balthas starting to sing his
mightiest songs to harm Balthas. The boy chanted something like 'dIsCHoRD' and
terrible voice filled the district. Balthas just wrinkled his brows and
started to grin sanely. Now was his turn to show some secrets of
story-telling. He saw a bog near by and an idea came up to his mind. Balthas
started his story like this:
Older I am,
Still pliant my moves,
Knowledge is my sword
And "You sink" to the final word
And so it was. Suddenly the young boy got jammed in the swamp and started to
sink. Defeated boy paniced and he started to name items that he could give in
exchange to his freedom... but that's another story what Balthas accepted
