From the Journals of Alistair Bugge – an Excerpt

Alistair Bugge is the deranged biographer of Lucy Burden, the arch-villain of the book.

This text is written in a mock deranged, Old English.  Some words are invented.

Three supplicants come to the cave where Lucy Burden, also called Minstrel, lives in exile.  They seek to be partners in wealth and power, but soon learn that they are to be her disciples.  They submit to her lordship and she reveals that she is neither male nor female.  Inside the cave, they find a young man in torment.  The three novices watch from a hiding place as Minstrel does her awful work.
