letra de "the necromancer" - jessica law & marion leeper
[spoken: narrator]
and then began the strangest game of cat and mouse you ever saw: you couldn’t tell who was the cat, and who was the mouse. atlas, the necromancer, drove the hippogriff at bradamante, pretending to attack her with his illusory weapons, now with a lance, now with a rapier, now with a mace, while bradamante pretended to dodge; until she fell to the ground, as if stunned. as she’d hoped, atlas drove the obedient hippogriff to the ground. he dismounted and came to claim his victim, but bradamante leapt up and bound him with his own unbreakable chain. she raised her victorious arm to cut off his head:
“die, evil necromancer,” she said and pulled off his helmet. but what did she see? a doleful face, wrinkles, silver hair?
“you’re old,” she said. “i don’t k!ll old people.”
“old maybe, but not that evil,” replied the necromancer
“it’s not for myself i want to cheat death. love was it that moved me to rescue that gentle knight, my foster son, ruggiero, to save him from the evil influence of his fixed stars. that’s why i keep him in this castle, surrounded by fine company, every wish that heart can feel and lips can utter. leave me ruggiero and you may have the rest.”
bradamante did not agree to this. she forced the chained atlas to show her the magic flasks, smoking with a hidden fire, under the threshold. she smashed them. the steel walls of the castle dissolved to insubstantial air, leaving ruggiero and the other prisoners running around in confusion. and as for atlas – he vanished, too, like a minnow through the gaps in a fisherman’s net
ruggiero and bradamante’s eyes met once more: and at that moment both of them knew they couldn’t escape their fate
but then a shout from the escaped prisoners: they were trying to catch the hippogriff. bradamante and ruggiero joined the chase: the magical creature landed just within ruggiero’s reach. he grabbed her reins: she wouldn’t budge. he couldn’t resist this marvellous prize, so he threw himself onto her back. the hippogriff trotted a few steps, reared up on her hind legs and leapt into the air. ruggiero couldn’t help it: he was carried away from all the responsibilities of love, completely against his will of course. and all bradamante could do was watch him go
