Krug The Bruin King!

Krug The Bruin is coming - and not since Kull The Conqueror, Conan The Barbarian, Claw The Unconquered, Beorn The Skin-Changer, Thorin The Dwarf-King, Bard The Bowman, Bilbo Baggins The Hobbit, Thundarr, Valdemar or Solomon Kane has his like been seen or heard of...!  

All of you listen and take heed of this now: beware of Krug The Bruin! 

He wandered for eons in the wastelands of the Spartans (MICHIGAN STATE SPARTANS-CCHA) - and honed his craft with the primal tribes up north (INDIANA ICE-USHL)  until he was free to offer his prowess to the Kingdom of Boston.  Emperor-King Cam saw the skill and strength of this new warrior Divine Providence had brought him - and so he was quick to seize the chance of knighting him so that he remained in the Bruins court (SIGNED BY BOSTON AS A FREE AGENT, MAR. 25, 2012.) 

Krug The Bruin got his first taste of battle as the kingdom repelled another attack from the northern-bound barbares sometimes called Les Canayens (des canailles, by any other name - on MARCH 27 '13 ) at the next solstice - it was an inconclusive skirmish, unsolved by the league's trickery of shooting wizardry that betrays the very essence of these wars on ice. 

Krug The Bruin retired to the forest after that, in order to ressource himself and prepare for the next big battle.  There, he momentarily joined a band of young aspiring Killer B's who'd done battle with another league of icy assassins; these were found to be on a different quest, as they sought a different grail - that of Calder.  In fact, the Calder grail is really a Calder Cauldron - but that is not important right now!   Krug The Bruin joined the battle alongside these other brave warriors from the Island at the crossroads - and he battled well for them.  They advanced, made significant progress in their quest while he was with them and slayed many a foe.- all thanks to the  very same Divine Providence that had brought them all together in the first place.

But then came the time that Krug The Bruin had secretly, in his heart of hearts, hoped and prayed for: the Kingdom of Boston had need of him once more and he was summoned.  Emperor Cam was sternly looking at his gathered forces and he assessed a sudden weakness in them.  A triad of justice on ice had fallen - Sir Ference, Sir Seidenberg and the errant knight Sir Redden - and so the times were dire and Krug The Bruin had to fill that void left in the Bostonian Round Table if victory was to be achieved.  Krug The Bruin was told he had to come in and basically replace three valiant warriors nearly all by himself! 

He did so in brilliant fashion, registering a tally on a show of force, as the Boston battalion overwhelmed the enemy.  However, the enemy came back to make it a challenging contest - but to no avail, as the Boston troops rallied to best the dastardly Lundqvist and wicked Tortorella with, ultimately, three well-aimed strikes against two fool's luck ones.   Emperor Cam was content - but he knew this was but one battle waged - and a war beckoned... The mighty Krug wouldn't have any other way though: ''bring it on'' he howled, fierce as ever, ready as always.  The feudal lord of the castle, Jacobs The First, saw this as a good thing, too - and both he and Emperor Cam saw to it that Krug The Bruin was bestowed with enough servants to make his stay comfortable - and his muscles well taken care of, until the next contest...

And Krug The Bruin was serene - because he was finally in his rightful place - and he would be king!

Beware Krug The Bruin!  For his wrath knows no bounds! 

And he will not stop until he is satiated either...!

Hey - Robert E. Howard wrote about barbarians he saw in his DREAMS...

J.R.R. Tolkien dreamed up all manners of allegories for what he truly wanted to write about - and did so splendidly well and so inventively that one just got the message - despite all the shenanigans, trolls, dwarves and make-believe fluff sugar-coating it all, really... 

Surely all manners of Boston Bruins fans will follow this piece of fancy of mine just as well - and get the true gist - and true grit - of it...! 

Sempre Por O Melhor
