Eomer of the Rohirrim · 06-03-2005, 11:04 AM

The residents of the village of Storyland awoke feeling slightly odd, but chirpy nevertheless; it was, after all, a beautiful sunny morn.

As they went to and fro however, it became clear that something funny had been going on. Maybe it was just something in the water, but there was, for some reason, much talk about strange visions of Werewolves. Everyone had had one the previous night, apparently. Just a solitary vision, conjured from nowhere, of a terrifying beast, the kind of which had been much told about in the preceding generations of this queer little village.

Being ridiculously superstitious, the villagers got into quite a panic. What did this mean?

They decided to check all the houses in turn. It didn't take long because most of the villagers were already out fretting in the village square. Not all of them though.

"Where's Eomer?" asked someone.

"I expect he's sleeping late, as usual" grumbled another. Eomer of the Rohirrim was not a particularly popular person in this village. Indecent behaviour, that sort of thing....

Anyway, they went to check up on him. At the door there was no answer: the villagers forced their way in. They were confronted with a truly gruesome sight. Eomer had been mangled horrifically. He was barely recognisable, only some observant villagers noted his distinctive hair turned red with blood. Even his books had been cruelly despoiled, so now his philosophic wisdom would never be shared with others.

Who could do such a horrible thing to such a handsome man? wailed the villagers. Superstitions in this case indicated reality: the village now had a werewolf problem.
