THERE WERE PLANTS AND ROCKS AND BIRDS AND THINGS, BROTHER ETHERNAN

Brother Ethy, catch up to the caravan of jugglers and bards, and take a refreshing cup of ale, we beg it of thee! For we are about to cross The Infernal Waste in search of the true finger of Spock Bockum The First, the great ancestor of Prior Spock Bockum! Catch up, little Ethy, for in this first part of the journey, in which we cross THE DEATHING PLAIN, and we shall surely look at all the life, there shall also be sand on the hills.

Sand on the hills and rings!

Rings rhymes with THINGS, you numbskull apprentice. Oh how we weep laughing to see your first-year novice ligatures, especially the way you squiggle the end of your Ems!

Oh you met a fly, little Ethy? Was it a fly with a buzz? Let me guess, the ground was also dry?

Look you little son of a goblin, if you stop now you are going to be a buzzard sandwich: that is one buzzard on top of you and one buzzard eating you from underneath. Stop your tantrums and help me move this wagon along. You thought it felt good when it stopped raining on you around Bavaria, but now we are pushing on into Damascus you suddenly changed your tune, ha ha, so to speak, as much as is possible in this period of rock and roll. Now you are saying there ‘ain’t no one for to give you no pain’ and ‘rain taint the blame on a mountain in Spain’ and clearly your Latin syntax got badly jarred somewhere over the Pindus Mountains, or else you were a poser your entire life, brother!

After two days in the desert fun of southern Turkey your skin began to turn red, ha ha ha ha! Oh my god but you went everywhere without an umbrella and refused to take a local servant, so you probably had it coming. We saw you looking at the river bed that was dry and thinking that it was a dead river.

After nine days well we just let you run free, little Ethy. What else was there to do with you? Because we had reached the shores of the Mediterranean. Should have taken a boat the whole way, Jonas be damned! But the humans will give no love.
