...And Sabre
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 86162
|
Fred found that the sabre was indeed still in the scabbard. He withdrew
it
so that he could examine its blade. Both the weapon's hilt and the
scabbard were completely devoid of any ornamentation, but they were
clearly of very high quality, as was the blade itself. Sabre and scabbard
had clearly belonged to a serious swordsman (or swordswoman), rather than
to some wealthy noble who liked to pose as a fighter. The damp conditions
had caused the first tiny spots of rust to begin to appear on the blade.
The scabbard and its contents must have been abandoned at least a week or
two ago, possibly considerably longer. That was consistent with when the
princess had vanished.
But why would the owner have discarded the scabbard and sword? They were valuable items. More importantly, surely no-one in their right mind would abandon their weapon when they were in such a dangerous place as this? Had whoever it was been delusional or under some enchantment? Or had they been acting under duress?
