A great multitude of dust flew from the pages of the old book as Hinge closed it shut. "So it must be true," he said. "I am the human incarnate of Luel". A song bird landed on the broken window pane of the second story of the Towncastershire library where Hinge sat, and sang almost in approval. With this Hinge smiled and began to recount how he came here after days of wandering in the wilderness with only strange memories to guide him. Memories of a "Tim" without great curled horns and this long streaked beard, who knew only sadness and wandering.

He turned to the charred corpse of the former librarian with its mouth still agape and spoke, "Oh fair Melody, it was not entirely your fault for your fate. For you were unaware,as was I, that it was no mere man you were offending but a proper Celtic god! Now that I know who I am, I must take it upon myself to-" he suddenly found himself interrupted and frustrated by the songbirds chirps. Feeling that he was on a role though he continued, "I must take it upon myself to wander these lands and guide my people. To comfort them in their sorrow and to-" again the song bird chose to interrupt Hinge's glorious soliloquy. His expression darkened and his words grew sharp. "To right their wrongs and to make tough decisions as they are required by any great-" As the song bird sang it's last notes, Hinges patience tore in half.

"SHUT UP YOU FILTHY FUCKING BIRD YOUR GOD IS SPEAKING!", Hinge thundered as he thrust his arms before him and shot scorching flame forth from his finger tips, consuming both the song bird and library wall alike. 

As the library burned down around him, Hinge took one last look out the window and saw two people coming into the village, one trailing behind the other. "Rovers", thought Hinge. " I must aquatint myself properly this time as their rightful friend and lord." Hinge smiled and plucked on his whiskers as he began down the stairs, but then frowned as a thought came over him. "I certainly hope these are agreeable people, I do so hate having to reduce the population number on that infernal sign."
