Ilmarinen(I) enters from the left, approaching the waiting children (C), sitting in a hemicircle. he sits down on the stone in the center.
I: hello my little fellows.
C (answering in a choir): hello master Ilmarinen.
I: listen my little fellows todays story is about the 3rd world.
C1: oh no, not again about the heroes, who built the city walls and the burning of 18.000 bricks (sobs).
Ilmarinen: do not fear my little fellow, this story is about the great Sodom and their brave warriors.
children sigh in relief.
I: it is the story of a man of nearly superhuman strenght and a keen mind.
C2: argh, are you telling us again of the fine craft of jewelry? please, we heard that a thousand times.
I: what, i could have sworn i haven´t told you yet? anyway. so a different story. you know the old veteran living next to the east gate?
C1: you live there, master ilmarinen. have you forgotten?
children laughing.
Ilmarinen prods the boy with his pointed stick.
C1:ouch
I: no you nosey young man, on the other side of the road.
C3: you mean that crooky old eremite always muttering about peace and meditation and the children playing to loud?
I: exactly. in his younger days he was amongst the greatest warriors of all times with an eye like an eagle, his sword stung like a snake attacking and his knowledge about battling was unreached. this story is about him.
it was the days, when sodom first sent out their dragonforce.
C3: you mean, this were not just warriors of the legends?
I: no, my little friend. of course they existed. after having a dream from the gods i stood 48 days at the forge, crafting the before unknown Dragon helms to equip our boldest warriors with them.
C2: i knew it would come to a smithing story, pffff-ouch(getting hit by that pointed stick of ilmarinen)
I: just listen. after having our original dragonforce equipped with the finest armor and weapons made by man, they stood at guard to protect the innocents and avenge crimes.
so it came, that one day troyy was attacked by klaue and some other guy from the great evil, whose name is forgotten now.
C4: wait. what? you don´t are telling us that the feersum klaue really exists? my mother used to scare me when i was - ouch.
I: of course he was a real man. he was one of the most powerfull warriors ever walking the realms of the living. along with some other heros forming sodom after the second world drowned, like burgingham or avu.
C2: what, the old toothless farmer and the milkman? ouch.ahh.ouch(getting repeatedly poked)
I: a bit more respect for your ancestors little rascal.
where was i? ah yes, the evil shadow that slowly creeped over the country, it´s name was killville. it´s evil warriors roamed free through the countries raiding villages and killing people. untill they where stopped by troyy and klaue and the other guy - what was his name? - were killed.
so a council was formed and the brave warriors of sodom decided to stop that evil and erase killville, because they couldn´t tolerate that evil shadow any longer. so they headed out, travelled long and saw many wonders on their wa untill they finally reached the walls of killville. after they broke the walls with bearlike strenght...
C2: beer surely was involved
children giggles
I:... bearlike strenght, they headed into the center of all evil. soon after the first of the malevolent forces attacked and was easily defeated. there was much blood and gore that day. but our forces - powerfull as they were - didn´t loose a single man. after the fighting they went around and while sensing the sinister athmosphere they decided to purge the place through the cleaning force of fire, so killville was burnt down to ruins. after that they returned victorios to our great city and were worshipped as heros from the town folk.
C5: was that the day, the war for the world started master ilmarinen?
I: that, my little friend, is a different story and will be told another day. now run children, it is getting dark and the evil in the world is not totally defeated.
and i want to smoke a pipe, so bugger off.
Choir of children: good buy master ilmarinen (they run off).
I (muttering to himself): damn children, always think, this is a fairy tale.
Ilmarinen wanders of into the shadow, smoking his pipe.
