This Round Is Done!

The story continues. Since we didn't get too many submissions for all of Round 7, we're repeating some of the chapters in this round, and adding one new chapter 5.

Chapter 3: The King's Death Dealer In Love

He returns to the kingdom a decorated hero but he can't wash the stench of blood from his fists. His powerful body is even more contorted, as he discovered in his battles that it hardens further the more he fights.

His return home is more of a retirement than anything.

Even though he can't have her, he pines for the King's daughter, Princess Telem. He dreams of living in the palace as the family's guardian, so he can at least be near her.

Setup: Happy Ionian, rock, or jazzy with a bit of fatigue. 12/8 time.

Chapter 4: The Wizard Zed

The evil wizard Zed appears one day in the Royal court to steal princess Telem. Zed made a deal with King Theo that he failed to honor and Zed wants his payment back. The deal was King Theo's enemies would fall if Zed was given Telem as his own. King Theo refused so Zed decides to take her.

Caleb tries to fight Zed but loses ('cause Zed is such a badass) and she is taken anyway.

Setup: Black Metal phrygian, ridiculous over the top theatrics. 4/4 time.

Chapter 5: The Wizard's Lament

The Wizard Zed is back in his lair, with his new trophy, Princess Telem safely in her gilded cage. The Wizard tries to get her to love him, making himself beautiful, but she despises him. She can tell he is disgusting. Yet still, he tries to make his moves on her. Tries to charm her, in his dark way.

When this fails, he laments capturing her and must decide what he'll do with her now that he can't get what he wants.

Setup: Dark Disco. Imagine if Slayer played "Love Rollercoaster" as the Wizard is making his creepy moves.
