queensthiefWell, using my very limited supply of readily available Lego
here is my entry :)
King of Legottolia
KoA, Prologue. "On the palace wall, a young guard on duty looked out over the town..."
Costis standing to attention at those crenellations he gets to think about a lot more later in the book ;)
~:~:~
Yes, I know. You've never seen anything less like an Attolian guard? This may be true, but this is a bona fide Legoland Guardsman in full uniform, purchased from the original Legoland in Billund, Denmark. He cost about 50 kroner, and used to be a keyring (that's what the knob on the top of his head is!)
So, so. I did my best. Of course, if Megan had really meant it when she said "elephant"...
;D

Upon the wall a guardsman stood
His name was Costis, true and good
His quilted doublet strong and thick
His sword was steady, bright and quick
But ‘neath his jerkin lurked the fire
Of temper hot and grievance dire.
Their Queen a Thief had stole away,
One damned and ne’er forgotten day
And then, as all Attolia knew,
Presumptuously he did her woo,
Forced or bewitched her – who could guess?
To make her word a fateful “Yes.”
He took the Queen, he took the throne,
He made Attolia his own,
The barons knelt and pledged their troth,
The Queen’s Guard too (and both were wrath)
This was their king – to every look,
A printer’s boy – with iron hook?

Faith, you and I should apply to Megan for an extra prize ARC, for having made recognisable scenes with a minimum of Lego! One between us, we could share :)
