The Far Away Ship Tavern, Musdurn Town, Musdurn Mountain Valley.
On that cold night of Saturday, the dark clouds in the sky covered the moon and made the mountains completely dark. But Musdurn Town seemed like a bright torch as it shone through the darkness of the mountain valley.
As it was getting late, the tourists who visited the town started to leave for their accommodations. But a group of tourists gathered at the tavern still persisted.
Theo and his friends were having the time of their lives as they drank and ate delicious things served to them. Some of them even started getting drunk as they consumed the strong homemade alcohol served in the tavern. Theo was only drinking butterbeer as he would drive later, but he had lots of fun watching his friends get drunk.
They talked loudly about random things when they suddenly heard the bard say, "Is there anyone who wants to sing a song?"
"Me!" Ayia immediately shouted in excitement, "Come on, Theo! Come sing with me." She readily pulled him toward the stage.
She was a little tipsy already after drinking a couple of cups of hydromel.
Theo could only wryly laugh as he let himself get dragged by his girlfriend.
"It seems like we have our first volunteer!" The bard laughed, "You guys just have to remember that you're only allowed to sing themed songs."
Ayia nodded before getting on top of the stage with Theo."What song are we gonna sing?" Theo whispered to her as she felt everyone in the tavern looking at them.
"I watched an anime these past few days that had a song named 'The Bear and the Maiden Fair'. Do you know it?" Ayia asked as she picked one of the musical instruments.
"I guess I am aware of it." Theo replied as he also picked an instrument.
The two of them looked at each other, and at that moment, it seemed like their minds were connected.
Like magic, it seemed like they knew what the other would do.
They smiled at each other as if they were alone in the room. The crowd looked at the couple with expectation as well.
Theo and Ayia's friends were even recording their presentation on their phones.
[Author's Note: You may listen to this song here]
It was at that moment that everyone heard Theo's voice singing the first few words.
'A bear there was, a bear, a bear!
All black and brown and covered in hair!'
His voice was like a thick honey as he sang the song's intro. Soon after that, Theo and Ayia started singing as they played their instruments.
'Oh come they said, oh come to the fair!
The fair? Said he, but I'm a bear!
All black and brown, and covered with hair!
And down the road from here to there.
From here! To there!
Three boys, a goat, and a dancing bear!
They danced and spun, all the way to the fair!
The fair! The fair!'
The song had a unique beat and melody that made everyone who heard desire to move their bodies. And that's what Theo and Ayia did.
They looked at each other with shining eyes as they started dancing to the song as they kept singing it.
'Oh, sweet she was, and pure and fair!
The maid with honey in her hair!
Her hair! Her hair!'
The crowd was extremely excited when they saw the couple dancing, so everyone started to dance as well.
They clapped as they danced to the song with excitement as the medieval people danced.
It may seem far-fetched to say this, but their dance moves were all in sync as they danced, sang, and clapped.
"The maid with honey in her hair!
The bear smelled the scent on the summer air.
The bear! The bear!
All black and brown and covered with hair!
He smelled the scent on the summer air!
He sniffed and roared and smelled it there!
Honey on the summer air!'
Theo and Ayia's friends continued recording the amazing performance from their friends as they also joined everyone in dancing and singing.
'Oh, I'm a maid, and I'm pure and fair!
I'll never dance with a hairy bear!
A bear! A bear!
I'll never dance with a hairy bear!
The bear, the bear!
Lifted her high into the air!
The bear! The bear! THE BEAR!'
They sang loudly.
If someone was passing in front of the tavern, they would hear the heavy sounds of dancing steps and a chorus of excited voices as they sang the catchy song coming from inside the
Tavern.
What they were doing seemed so fun that even the waitresses and barmen joined the dance as
Well.
'I called for a knight, but you're a bear!
A bear, a bear!
All black and brown and covered with hair
She kicked and wailed, the maid so fair,
But he licked the honey from her hair.
Her hair! Her hair!
He licked the honey from her hair!
Then she sighed and squealed and kicked the air!
My bear! She sang. My bear so fair!
And off they went, from here to there,
The bear, the bear, and the maiden fair.'
Theo and Ayia finished the song as they looked at each other with a bright smile.
Even though they noticed everyone's excitement as they joined the dance, throughout the
Whole song they only had eyes for each other.
They felt it was extremely fun to sing and dance together.
"YEAHHH!"
"BRAVO!"
"AGAIN! AGAIN!"
|||||
The crowd started cheering for them with excitement.
Theo and Ayia were a little overwhelmed when they saw that, but they still thanked
Everyone's support.
Everyone was asking for another song, so the two of them didn't know how to refuse them.
That's how the couple performed another song for everyone.
And without a doubt, it was another dancing song, and just like before the crowd had the time
Of their lives as they danced and sang together.
It was only after finishing the second song that they left the stage, although the crowd still
Wanted more from them. The couple was an immediate success with The Far Away Ship
Tavern's crowd.
When Theo and Ayia arrived at the table they shared with their friends, everyone started to
Talk excitedly about their performance.
"Wow!"
"I didn't know you two worked as bards."
"Maybe they were a pair of bards in their previous life?"
"I recorded the whole thing, do you want to see Ayia?"
|| ||
Just like that, the group of friends surrounded Theo and Ayia as they discussed their
Presentation.
After Theo and Ayia's turn some other customers also gave a try in the stage, but no one was
Better than the couple.
But the group of friends still laughed and had fun as some of the presentations were still
Hilarious.
In such a way, Theo and his friends had one of the best nights of their lives as they enjoyed a
Tavern like medieval people.
