A leopard prowled, with eyes aflame, Striking fear, leaving hearts in shame, Under a lord's rule, of Castro Brine, Dark menace reigned, a chilling sign. | ''A leopard prowled, with eyes aflame, Striking fear, leaving hearts in shame, Under a lord's rule, of Castro Brine, Dark menace reigned, a chilling sign.'' | ||

The '''Tale of The Leopardslayer''' is present in different versions as an epic poem of the Castro Brine age. It tells that in the lush valleys of Sarpedon, under the rule of a minor lord of the Castro Brine family, scribes wrote of a menace that began to haunt the inhabitants. A relentless leopard, with fur ''as golden as the sun and spots dark like the night'', emerged from the shadows to wreak havoc upon the lands. Its ferocious raids and stealthy attacks left the village in a perpetual state of fear. As terror spread throughout the village, the lord sought the aid of his most trusted and resourceful ''alguacil'', Elvio De Pardo. Known for his cunning and fearless disposition, Elvio was entrusted with the daunting task of putting an end to the leopard's reign of terror. He delved deep into the heart of the valleys, navigating dense jungles and treacherous landscapes in pursuit of the fearsome leopard. | The '''Tale of The Leopardslayer''' is present in different versions as an epic poem of the Castro Brine age.
