THE GREYLOCK
A FAIRY TALE.
In a forgotten valley where a crystal‑blue lake laps against crumbling stone, the seasoned knight Sir Wendelin and his eager squire George stumble upon ruins that whisper of a lost splendor. Their curiosity is sparked by shattered columns and ancient terraces now overrun by foxes and bats, prompting the pair to investigate the mysterious waters that shimmer with an unexpected sweetness.
From the depths of a hidden grotto rises a plaintive, melodic voice, leading the duo to a breathtaking maiden bound by emerald‑laden chains. Her pale skin, strawberry‑red lips, and sky‑blue eyes captivate the knight, while her sorrowful tale warns of a formidable spirit named Misdral who guards the north shore. With courage swelling and danger already coiling nearby, Wendelin feels the pull of a new quest—to free the captive lady and confront the darkness that holds her. The adventure has only just begun, inviting listeners to follow the knight’s daring pursuit of honor and rescue.
