Lego Viking Fort

This is my Lego Viking fortress. It has two guard towers, a bridge (for quick access between the two), a treasure chest, a rotating manned ballista, or giant crossbow (used for defense against dragons, foot soldiers, sea serpents, wolves, ships, etc.), and some extra crossbow bolts. There are two concealed keys to unlock the treasure chest on the island. One is in a pit next to the treasure chest, and the other is inside one of the two large boulders near the the smaller guard tower.

There are three guards on the island. One is standing at the end of the larger guard tower, another one is standing on the other guard tower, and the third is standing at one end of the bridge. There are three other warriors on the island also. One is operating the ballista, one is the leader of the group, and one is the leader's bodyguard.

The leader of the group is somewhat different from the rest, seeing that he is the leader. Instead of wearing the traditional metal cap with horns and carrying an axe or spear, he wears a sort of upside-down V-shaped helmet and a broadsword. Also, where some of the other warriors carry roundshields, he carries a triangular shield. His bodyguard does carry a roundshield, but wields a hefty axe blade connected to a staff.

All the Vikings have gray faces because of a biohazard that was in the area, and now, the Vikings are invulnerable to everything except extreme heat.

For lighting, there are a few torches placed here and there around the fort. Don't worry: the flame is not hot enough to harm the warriors.

My favorite thing about the fort is.....hmmmmmm. Well actually, I like all of it (that's one of the perks about creating something; you get to like all of it).

Return What You Have Stolen: A Song

This song was inspired by the movie TIME BANDITS.
Sung to the tune of DO YOUR EARS HANG LOW or DOES YOUR CHIN HANG LOW.

(To a group of thieves)

Return what you
Have stolen from me
Or else I'll set my werewolves free
And they'll chase you
All the way to Greece
If you don't return to me.

If you DO return
What you've stolen from me
Then I'll bury you
In golden cheese
And I will be
Forever pleased
If you return to me.

But if you don't....

Then I'll torture you
With fire from my glove
And lightning from
The skies above
And you'll wish
That you never fell in love
With what you stole.

And I'll erase
All your good memories
So that you can never be true thieves
And I'll cover your beds
With a whole bunch of fleas
If you make me angry.

So I'm begging you
(Oh, please please please)
To return what you
Have stolen from me
And you'll be able to sing harmony
For this lovely song.

So, that's all for you folks,
Can you please go away?
And I hope you never
Come back some day
'Cause I'm tired of playing
All your silly little games
Now go AWAY!

(Note: what I've said in the last verse is NOT, repeat NOT, what I want. It's just part of the song.)
