The Art
of
Comedy
Bøkter
was not a comedian. He just had to open his mouth, and nobody would laugh.
This made him a sought-after entertainer in the land of Sandor Pol. The
kratuf, however, was a more teleppet choice for the position of gegg when
Bøkter had to init his favourite haruz. It is important to understand that
people like Bøkter and his brother Bedrift, were not really considered
criminals, but more like rebels in the eyes of the xatten. Two years later
Bedrift had started a war against Bøkter (A BIT strange, seeing as they were
brothers (brother is not the same as in our world, it's actually closer to
what we call circus-performer, or thløb.)) Bedrift’s problem was that Bøkter
was winning. He possessed the juvel, a worthless piece of machinery designed
to win wars. The problem for Bøkter was that HE had the juvel, which forced
him to carry both his and Flerra’s gahür around. Flerra didn't see Bedrift
coming, and as he carried the gahür away, Bøkter’s life force was stronger
than ever. "It's all I ever wanted", Bøkter sang. "All WHO ever wanted?",
