Actually, he sang neither, for just as he was about to burst into melody
he was interrupted by an old, bent beggar wearing tattered rags. "It can't be!" The beggar wobbled towards Fred. "My old eyes deceive me! Is that you, Frederigo!?" Fred was taken back. "I say, old man, you just disturbed my song! For that I demand an apology this instant!"The old man began cackling like an old goat. "You do not recognize me, do you!? You murderous wrech! It is I, your King!" Suddenly Fred recognized the man and was frozen in shock."Not as plump or richly as when you last saw me, eh? But niether are you!" He spotted the medallion on Fred's neck. "Well it seems you've managed to keep a remnant from the past, the D'Honaire medallion! I could not even save my crown from the dragon!" He lunged at Fred with lightning speed, thrusting a dagger into his stomach and yanking the medallion off his neck in the same instant then he running down an ally and dissapearing. Fred hardly had time to register what had just happened. He collapsed onto the muddy ground. Lots let out a laugh. "Mwuhahaha! Maybe it's time you join me in the afterlife!"Fred examined his wound and shook his head. "Nonsense, but a flesh wound, really. But I do need medical attention. Everyone in this village thinks Im a madman! What am I to do!"
