The feast was nothing to write home about. It seamed to be planned to continue through the whole night, though. Boredom made Lucious’s eyes wonder around the castle chamber. A small shield hanging above the entrance was different than the rest of the weaponry decorating the walls. Covered in divine symbolism and nature motives with hell of a shine - the object sure caught his attention.
‘Should we steal the shield?’ he asked. Gwen looked at him. Her eyes said she was intrigued.
‘It’s a buckler’ she said.
‘Should we steal the buckler?’ he asked again this time being factually correct.
‘Yep’, she answered with no hesitation. Bored out of her mind she welcomed the idea of doing anything. “At this pace they will be drunk and sleeping in two or three hours”, she thought. She took a large sip of beer – it tasted horribly.

“The Buckler of Providence” – also known as “The Buckler of Danu”. Forged 300 years ago in unclear circumstances, it was an important artifact that went from hand to hand, from one nobble to another, as a symbol of status. In addition to being beautiful it was also a quite effective light shield used in sword fights, covered with protective spells, well balanced, and sturdy.
