I must go.There is an ogre of some sort devouring village maidens two day's ride from here.It is said that he can be slain only by one who wields the Great Axe of Duke Alban.Unfortunately, Duke Alban himself was one of the first consumed — he was dressed as a village maiden at the time to deceive the monster — and there is little doubt who holds the Great Axe now.If I do not return, think of me. Farewell.(Peter S. Beagle)
