Synopsis of Hellalyle & Hildebrand

In the 13th C, in northeast Europa, stood the realm of King Thorstein, headquartered at castle Preben. The monarch`s demesne was predominately forest and snow-capped mountains, with an inland sea, called Lake Eydis. It was sparsely populated, with indigenous heathen tribes, and all manner of wild creatures, for the land had lain virtually undisturbed for many millennia. A time arose, when the king was called away to his lands in the east, after a victorious battle fought on the borders of Kievan Russ. He took with him, most of the castle guard, his seven sons and step-son, Prinz Paulus, but decided to leave behind his daughter, the Princess Hellalyle. The monarch recruited twelve knights to protect her, and one of their number, Hildebrand, a prince of England, would be the leader. However, unknown to all, it was the benevolent spirits of nature who chose these bodyguards, influencing the king`s subconscious mind into their recruitment, for these warriors were not of this world, but reincarnations of heroic fighting men that had influenced the course of world history. Hellalyle and Hildebrand, were drawn into a relationship engineered by those same unseen forces who had selected her bodyguard; their purpose, to thwart the devil, incarnate in Prinz Paulus, in its attempts to kill the princess. A downs-syndrome girl of mysterious origins, named Ethla, emerges out of the wildwood. She is taken care of by Princess Hellalyle. and plays a crucial part in the narrative. The king, while away, learns of the developing relationship between his daughter and the leader of her bodyguard, and feels betrayed by the English knight, and so dispatches his champions – his seven sons, and Paulus - to arrest, and execute Hildebrand, and confine Hellalyle until the king`s return. The eleven, remaining protectors of the princess, leave the kingdom, believing their contract has been nullified by Thorstiens edict, leaving Hildebrand alone to face Hellalyle`s brothers and step-brother. The Englishman takes the fight to his adversaries, and slaughters all the unfortunate siblings of the princess, except Paulus, who after surrendering to Hildebrand, turns about and treacherously kills him, and then brutally, incarcerates his step-sister. As these occurrences were unfolding, in another part of the continent, one of her bodyguards, the Teutonic knight, Karl von Altenburg, now living in a monastic order, experiences a vision, informing him of Hellalyle`s plight, and sets out to for Castle Preben. Meanwhile, in her prison, Hellalyle gives birth to Hildebrand`s son, now sole heir, whom she names Hagen. On a fateful day, Ethla, at the princess’s urging, flees into the wilderness, taking to safety, the infant crown prince, to save him from Prinz Paulus, who, feeling outwitted mortally wounds the princess in revenge.
At that point, Karl von Altenburg returns and vanquishes Paulus - the devil, but too late to save the princess, who lives, just long enough, to reveal to him all that had happened. The knight then ventures out in search Ethla. Shortly afterwards, King Thorstein arrives home with his army, and is devastated to learn of the death of his daughter, all his sons, step-son, and second wife, Queen Gudrun. That night, he experiences the frightening noise of ghosts; knights in battle, the despairing screams of a woman in distress, all coming from the upper reaches of the fortress. Thorstein, keeping thoughts to himself, believes he might know the origin of the disturbing sounds, and in desperation, orders the castle to be slighted by fire, and move his seat of power to his other fortress at Yrian, many leagues to the north. However, the inferno fails to banish the haunting; the blackened ruins still reverberate with the eerie clamour of fighting and death, the wailing of a tormented soul. Eventually, the Teutonic knight, rescues Ethla and the child, delivering them to the court of Thorstein. The king eventually sends his grandson abroad to be educated, to shield him from the tragic events that occurred at the fortress of Preben. Later, von Altenburg, now ensconced at the nunnery of the Monastery of Thorbjorg, takes it upon himself to be the bodyguard of the Abbess, Princess Amora and refuses to leave, mistaken in his belief that Amora might still be in danger. While there, he is visited by a spectre from the Old Testament, requesting him to leave, for his task on earth was over. Years later, the ruins of Castle Preben are visited by Prince Hagen, now a youth, where he meets the ghost of his father Hildebrand, and mother, Hellalyle. This meeting allows her to leave, and she ascends into heaven, taking with her the spirits of her seven brothers, but Hildebrand is damned to remain.
Seventy years on, King Hagen dies of old age, signalling a cosmic event which triggers the return of Hellalyle, who takes Hildebrand with her to be united forever in the afterlife.
