STARFALL, EPISODE 1 | TAVERN TROUBLE

Amidst the streets of Windsor, two travelers strode

Kenrick and Duncan, both far from their abode

As the sun set low, they spied a tavern grand

The Spicy Coin, beckoning with its etched mahogany stand

Kenrick made his way to the bar, bold and brash

The guardsman of the city, he sought to outclass

Meanwhile, Duncan heard a voice, haunting and clear

A cloaked figure, Lord Eric, a childhood friend dear

As they caught up on old times and tales of yore

Kenrick made a wager, to win gold and more

A specialty drink, the Spicy Coin, was the bet

To down it all, the others had failed, and yet

Before Kenrick could claim his victory and prize

A hooded woman entered, with a mysterious guise

She watched him closely, from a table near

As the guardsmen proposed, double or nothing, with cheer

Kenrick couldn't resist and took the challenge with glee

But alas, he failed, to the guardsmen's glee

Disappointed, he joined Duncan and Lord Eric at their seat

Where they enjoyed their meal and conversation, a treat

But trouble brewed, as drunken commoners stirred

Insults and violence, did not deter

Duncan stood up and tried to reason with the men

But they only grew angrier, with their hate, amen

With a mace in his hand, Duncan struck a deadly blow

To the one who insulted his religion, a fatal foe

The others fought, with Kenrick in Berserk mode

Until Iona, the mysterious woman, joined the episode

With her staff, she struck down one of the drunk men

And introduced herself, as an ally, a friend

Lord Eric, with his terrifying presence, scared off the rest

And the tavern cleared, leaving only the four, and the barkeep, distressed

Kenrick paid for the damages, with coins from the fallen

And ordered food for the group, to calm them, and soften

As they ate and talked, about their travels and their quests

In the Spicy Coin, they found unexpected guests.
