Hello Phish Phans!
Last time we were relieved to find out that Rutherford the Brave did not succumb to his follies and perish while attempting to wade across the raging river. As you may recall, he was rescued by a unit monster accompanied by Tela riding on a multibeast (who was the subject of that week’s song).This week we will continue Colonel Forbin’s journey:
Narration: “Tela reached out her hand and helped Forbin on to the back of the multi-beast, and together they rode off into the forest.
As they rode, Tela explained to him about Wilson and the Helping Friendly Book. She told the colonel that she was part of a revolution to overthrow the evil king. The leader of the revolution was a Lizard named Errand Wolfe who was out to avenge the death of his son Roger. Roger, she said, had been executed by Wilson at the age of fourteen on suspicion of treason. He had been abducted from his home and hung in the public square.
The two rode on in silence, deeper and deeper into the heart of the forest until they came to the outskirts of a small community. Tela explained to Forbin that they had reached the base of the revolutionaries. The colonel looked up and there in the center of the clearing stood Errand Wolfe. He was a small man but his presence was overpowering. He seemed to emit a kind of violent energy that sent chills down the colonel’s spine. And as the multi-beast moved towards him, he raised his fist in anger, and his voice filled the forest.”This leads into the next song: “Wilson”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eaaus0LI1ro
