A deadly hug of vengeance

from HDK 100 † The legend of the wicked pirates by KOBOLD

/

lyrics

Despite the loss of a ship and some men, Goran was very satisfied:
his plan had worked and now his daughter
- who had returned to him safe and sound -
could finally marry the prince of Bunhaken and estabilish him,
Goran Besor, as the most powerful man in the archipelagoes.

He would soon have eliminated with a ruse that stupid pirate,
who must not have been so clever after all
since he had let himself be persuaded for a handful of gold
to return his foolish but useful daughter to him.

Arriving in his room, the old duke lay down on his bed.
He noticed with surprise Sarah’s open trunk in his room.
Why was it there? Who had brought it? He closed his eyes for a moment.
A strange disquiet made its way through him.
He was beginning to sense a presence in the room. Close. Very close.
He could feel it.

He opened his eyes and shuddered: lying at his side,
a hideous spectre was staring at him with its glassy, empty gaze.
He tried to scream, but his voice caught in his throat.
Hakim Makhno grabbed Goran as he tried to get out of bed
and, as if he were an old friend, he embraced him.
A deadly embrace.

The last thing the duke saw before sinking into an eternal sleep
was the gaze full of hate of his daughter Sarah,
watching him from the room door.

Nonostante la perdita di una nave e di alcuni uomini
Goran era molto soddisfatto:
il suo piano aveva funzionato e
ora sua figlia - tornata da lui sana e salva -
poteva finalmente sposarsi con il principe di Bunhaken
e consacrare lui, Goran Besor, come l'uomo più potente degli arcipelaghi

Avrebbe presto eliminato con un espediente
anche quello stupido pirata, che non doveva essere poi così furbo
dato che si era fatto convincere per una manciata di oro
a restituirgli la sua sciocca ma utile figlia

Giunto nella sua camera, il vecchio duca si sdraiò sul letto.
Notò con sorpresa il baule di Sarah aperto nella sua stanza.
Cosa ci faceva lì? Chi l'aveva fatto portare?

Chiuse gli occhi per un attimo.
Una strana inquietudine si fece strada dentro di lui.
Cominciava a percepire una presenza nella stanza.
Vicino. Molto vicino. Lo sentiva.
Aprì gli occhi e trasalì:
sdraiato al suo fianco, un orribile necrospettro
lo fissava con il suo sguardo vitreo e soggignante.
Fece per urlare ma la voce gli si strozzò in gola.

Hakim Makhno afferrò Goran
mentre cercava di sollevarsi dal letto
e, come se fosse un suo vecchio amico,
lo strinse in un abbraccio.
Un abbraccio mortale.

L'ultima cosa che vide il duca
prima di sprofondare in un sonno eterno
fu lo sguardo pieno d'odio di sua figlia Sarah
che lo osservava, in piedi sulla soglia della camera.
