"It's like in the great stories... The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end, because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why."

Being a storybook hero was not all it was cracked up to be. For one thing, there were giants. Axel quickly learned that giants had little rationality and were not impressed by threats of litigation. Also, his flying horse seemed to have no respect for him and kept leaving glitter-coated droppings everywhere.
Still, he supposed it was all worth it when he arrived at the Lady Claudiana's besieged tower; but when he introduced himself as the champion sent to rescue her from evil, she only laughed. "Rescue? Evil? Good man, this is a brothel. I need help with my accounts."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHHHHHHAHAH!!!! Oh this...okay, I cannot type or think properly for giggling but THIS! *cuddles and squishes all out of shape*
Giants have no respect for litigation! And I love, LOVE, that the horse just has no respect for him! Willful defiance of a horse! <3333

„Da bekommst du mich nicht rauf!“. Deniz verschränkte die Arme und verzog das Gesicht zu einem Flunsch.
„Du hast es mir versprochen.“
Doch Deniz schüttelte sturr den Kopf.
„Du sagtest, wenn ich mitkomme, würden wir in die Rockies reiten.“
Deniz sah zu Roman auf, der sich zu ihm elegant heruntergebeugt hatte.
Nur weil das Austauschprogramm der Essener Polizei ihn zu den Canadian Mounties verschlagen hatte, würde er noch lange nicht auf diesen Gaul steigen. Er sah sie beide schon die Klippen herunterstürzen.
„Seit wann stehst du eigentlich auf Pferde?“
„Du weißt doch; ich habe etwas übrig für Männer in Uniform.“

LOL! Oh, perfekt, ich hatte gerade einen sehr realen Kicheranfall. Die Canadian Mounties! Schmollender Deniz! Roman, der offensichtlich mit Pferden umgehen kann! Männer in Uniform! Absolut bezaubernd :D
“Oh, c 'mon give him his damn flying horse already! I know, I know, collapsing dragon trauma, grey hair, not to mention the cost... But he's been dreaming about that freaking beast ever since his Gunzenhausen days. Bet he's dreaming about it right now“ Deniz jerked his head in the direction of Roman, asleep on the couch, the cushion in his arms only half hiding the smile on his face.
“And besides”, Deniz turned to Marc again, cheeky grin on his face, “I happen to find greying temples sort of sexy on a man of a certain age.”
Awwwwwwww! So much love for this adorable glimpse! Deniz persuading Marc! GREYING TEMPLES ARE SEXY, HELL YEAH! Flying horse gets to be in the show! Collapsing props shout-out! LOVE! <3333333333
(seriously, woman! How are they so lovely and real in 100 little words? *SQUISHHUGS*)
