Hinrich the Lion, Book IV

by Ilgan Mirdus

A biography of Hinrich the Lion

---

Hinrich's training progressed well; soon he was a respected knight in Akatosh's Order and the others respected him. Meanwhile he formed a close friendship with Aldrecht, but above all, the glory of battle and the love of the sword made the two of them brothers. On the day of his knighthood, Hinrich was officially granted his armor and horse; from then on he cleaned and polished the armor every night, though he only took it in his hands for this purpose, and he combed the horse's mane curried its the coat several times a day.

One evening sat Hinrich and Aldrecht in the tavern, drank beer and discussed the day's events. A large broad-shouldered man staggered in. Apparently he was already drunk and jostled a few chairs and tables on his way to the bar. The proprietor, an honest and good-hearted man, of course, saw that this giant - because he was really very big - had already tasted enough beer and therefore refused to give him anything to drink. This certainly did not pleased the giant and he began to swear at the host and people seated at the bar. It seemed that the previous day, a few goblins had destroyed his crop and he wanted to drink this frustration away. He cursed the goblins and all of their work and began to briskly wave his arms. Suddenly he grabbed the host by the collar, called him a nasty goblin, and cursed him to death.

Hinrich, who had watched the whole from one of the tables and been quiet until then, got up and approached the man with two steps. He grabbed the giant, who seemed huge in comparison to Hinrich, put his hand on the man's collar, looked him in the face and let out a bloodcurdling scream. He roared so loudly in the man's face that he could only stand there puzzled and look into the void. They brought him a chair, as he threatened to simply fall.

This story spread like wildfire all over the city, and Hinrich was soon known everywhere only as "Hinrich the Lion" because he possessed a golden beard - equal to a lion's mane - and could roar like the king of beasts.
