this is one of the weirdest things i've ever written... and that's saying a lot. fair warning.
-------
The Knight rested on one knee in front of the fountain, and waited patiently. A mother tugged her young daughter's arm, trying to keep her away from The Knight. Several people stared in bewilderment at the young girl kneeling in front of the fountain.
The Knight's diligence was rewarded. The water began to froth, and a shimmering hand emerged, followed by a delicate frame wrapped in silk. Silk, and seaweed. The people around seem to take no notice.
“I have called, and thou did answer,” said the multi layered voice.
“Yes! I heard you call, and I forsook everything, seeking only you!” the enthusiastic knight blurted.
“And thou knowest who I am?” asked the woman.
“Of course! You are the Lady of the Lake! The very same one that spoke to King Arthur nearly a thousand years ago!” The Lady of the Lake nodded.
“Yes. It is because of thine faith that I have called thee. Thine faith has cost thee much, aye?” asked the lady. The young knight thought on it. And she nodded.
“Tell me, knight, before I anoint thee, why hast thou shaved thy head?” asked The Lady.
“As a sign of my fealty to you, my lady,” replied The Knight.
“And why hast thou starved thyself?”
“To know starvation before I must be starved.”
“And thou hast forsaken fineries,” said The Lady. “And the things you wear in their place?”
“Lady, the dragon made me a creature of vanity. He made me obsess with my makeup, my hair, wearing his coat and his ring. My hate for the dragon has freed me from these things. I wear simply a shirt and running pants because I don't need any more than this!” The Lady thought on these answers, and nodded with approval.
“And why hast thou done these things?” asked The Lady.
“Because you called, and I answered. In my time as a cheerleader I encountered a dragon. I even dated such a dragon. I was victim to its deception in front of this very fountain, in front of this very restaurant: he displayed his 'kindness' to two girls at once. That's why I've answered, my lady.” The Lady of the Lake nodded her approval.
“Knight, I bid thee rise.” The Knight stood, and The Lady of the Lake produced a dagger from within the folds of her cloth, and she placed it in The Knight's hands.
“My knight,” she said, “understand that though this blade appearest little more than a child's trifling, it possesseth the same power possessed in Arthur's good sword. Understand: though mightest be a knight, but thine hardest trials have yet to come. Gird thyself steadfastly against them, for they will come mightily. They shalt come from friend and foe alike, the stranger, yea, even the innocent. Do you understand these sayings well?” asked The Lady.
The Knight nodded. “I do.” The Lady breathed deep.
“Then wilt thou kill the dragon that doth pose as the one called Bryce?”
“The very same one that poses as captain,” replied The Knight.
The crowd of people surrounding the fountain had long dispersed, leaving the girl to herself.

Question : would it be possible to hide the Commentary under the comment section? Why?
It's nice to read the story, enjoy it (which I do, and this one is no exception) and draw my own conclusion.
Then, when I am ready, I can go to the comments section and read the commentary.
It's along the lines of you don't always want to eat dessert right after dinner...sometimes you want to savor the dinner and relax before moving on.
As always, my 2 cents!
yes...very different, but i liked it. i really like the symbolism here.
makes me realize i need to work on my symbolism. i'm a little to literal for my own good me thinks.

3. He analyzed the casino bonuses one by one and maximized his starting position. Almost all of the casinos offer an initial deposit bonus. Some even offer a second and third deposit bonus. On all of these promotions there are limits as to how much they allow as a bonus. In this case study the client played on all three deposit bonuses. First Deposit: 100% up to $150. Needless to say his first casino deposit was $150 (via Neteller) Second Deposit: 50% up to $150. His second deposit was $300 (via Neteller) giving him a bonus of $150.

2. He emailed us and made sure that bonuses applied at other CWC platforms did not deny him a bonus at onlinecasinos5.com. In the case of other casinos, you have to be careful because there are "sister" casino sites that operate under the same business platform. When this is the case, you may not be eligible for the bonus if you were granted a bonus on their other "sister" casino site. Always email their customer service department. They will tell you. If they don't then don't play there. Also, if their customer service takes too long to get with you then don't play there. Acceptable waiting times vary between individual. In my case I'm not willing to wait more that 24 hours for customer service to get back with me. In the case of onlinecasinos5.com you are eligible for ALL of our bonuses regardless if you currently are a player at another CWC Gaming based casinos. Many CWC based casinos are taking different stands on if they allow US players to gamble on their sites. You will have to check with each one yourself.

If you are a novice gambler you probably haven’t heard the term but professional bettors who earn their livelihood from sports betting use the method all the time taking advantage of the variance in odds from the opinions of the diverse number of bookmakers.

Following the philosophy of pyramiding, what happens in this system is that you place a bet and if you come out a winner you re-invest the winnings on the next wager. So in horse racing, for example, you simply let it ride. Also, unlike the other betting systems, the Parlay System offers a lower amount of risk of all bettors for because they only need be concerned with a win, place or show selection or a combination thereof.

On the other hand if you were to lose then you would wager twice what your original bet was. According to proponents of the system, this strategy will eventually enable you to win the bets you place and when you win you would recover all your lost bets plus one unit profit against your initial wager.
Another important subject I must briefly refer to is "catch-up" staking. If you find that you need to employ this tactic regularly, it means three things: (1) your Selection System sucks, (2) you haven't got a clue about what constitutes a proper Staking Plan, and (3) you have turned your chances of regularly and quickly losing your Base Bank to a 100% certainty!

I searched everywhere for a great deal and finally found it at [url=http://www.ordio.com.au]Ordio[/url] in Westfield Bondi Junction. I telephoned them first and asked every question I could think of and everything was answered to my satisfaction so I went ahead and bought it. Shipping was fast. Everything was perfect. I'm pretty darn happy and I'm playing it right now. Not sure if they post outside of Oz but you won't be sorry if they do.
