Author's Chapter Notes:
Alban the Barbarian bides his time and prepares an elite squad of rogue Vikings for an assault on Nonvor's palace.
She was merciful and sentenced him to one month in a cage,
Then returned him to the Vikings, where he had to cease his rage,
And accept that men and giantesses would be harmonizing.
Then he learned another fact, which he considered was surprising.

Alban busted into Friemann’s place at night, and sticky-beaked
All the records of the bearers of those amulets, and tweaked
To the fact that one was just a kid, who might have been the weaker
Of the links in all this action. So the fighter turned to speaker.

Alban called upon young Tennyce, posed as friend, to try a ploy
Of exacting information from this rather active boy.
Tennyce thought he’d found a confidant, and told his private story.
Alban stored that information, making use of what was gory.

Once he learned that Kayte had done her best (not once, but twice) to eat
Tennyce, Alban spread the word in circles, forming an elite
Squad of trouble making Vikings, who were keen to fight the giants.
Then they stole Flyte’s latest amulets, and utilized the science.

When they got to Nonvor’s palace, they made sure that they weren’t seen.
They prepared to take the life of someone there to guard the Queen.
If they took her out, then Friemann Fltye would lose the fight forever,
They believed, as they prepared to do what they believed was clever.

They had brought along those large syringes, used to wash an ear
(By some doctors) in the hope that when their Viking squad got near,
They could use them, filled with poison, with a plan that one said, “hinges
On our sneaking right up next to them and using our syringes.”

First they killed the guard outside the Queen’s room, which left Nonvor shocked,
As she didn’t know the cause of death, and now the Queen was locked
Into finding someone else to take the role of her protection.
What could happen to the next one left some room for circumspection.

Friemann Fltye was worried badly too, and then a thought occurred.
Alban hadn’t seemed the type to go without the final word
On a subject; and by then, Flyte knew some amulets were taken.
He consulted with Lee-John, lest Nonvor’s life should be forsaken.

Both suspected what had happened, but they lacked the proper means
Of ensuring that more guards would not lose life, to save the queen’s,
Since the stack of stolen amulets had clearly indicated
Quite a lot of rebel Vikings were around; and so they waited.

Friemann, Braisyde, Tennyce and Lee-John then formed a Secret Squad,
Who would search the palace hiding spots, with sword or fighting rod.
When they found the hidden lair, they used some new communicators
That Professor Flyte had made, and let the giants know their status.

Though the Secret Squad was only four, the giants joined the fray:
Ambloome Jenyfer and Kayte and Alicindra won the day,
As they fought the rebel Vikings, and locked all of them in cages.
Ambloome grieved her childhood friend, the guard, and coped in passing stages.

Though so much ill-will had come from Alban’s evil, Friemann Flyte
(Who had worked with Alicindra – Kayte’s Mom – helping them unite
Loving giant girls with earth boys) found that she was even keener
To continue running LATERALDATE with positive demeanor.
