Welcome back, loyal listeners.

In our last episode: Our heroes escaped the Hawk King’s castle using an old aqueduct as a make-shift water slide and ended up falling into a faraway lake.  Meanwhile Nevik, the Hawken from the dungeon, informed U’nala of Steve’s arrival in the city.

Today’s episode: Steve and Uncle Shameless meet Eira the pelican (voiced by Robin Hudson of Angel Between the Lines and other podcasts).  Eira is a who healer happens to be on her way to Uth, the Last Human Village–the same place Steve and Uncle Shameless are headed.  Back at the Hawk King’s castle, a vulture Mystic tells U’nala of the danger Steve represents.

Next Time on The Magic of Eyri (8.30.09): The Trial – the Hawk King is not happy about Steve being allowed into his city–and he wants to know who is to blame.

Ramblings: This episode is dedicated to Les Paul (1915-2009), who passed away this week.  Not only am I appreciative of his contributions to guitars, but also of his pioneering of multi-track recording (and audio effects), which eventually evolved into the sound editing software we use today (in my case, GarageBand).  He will be missed, but not forgotten.  On a lighter note, please welcome Robin Hudson to our motley crew.  She is providing the voice of Eira the Pelican. Learn more about Robin on the Cast page.

Welcome back, loyal listeners.

In our last episode: A Hawken warrior tries to convince Steve to hand over his blue heron amulet, but the negotiations take a nasty turn and Steve receives help from Mudd the duck–the bartender of the pub where Steve and Uncle Shameless were captured.

Today’s episode: Our heroes continue their escape from the Hawk King’s castle, using an old aqueduct as a make-shift water slide.  Meanwhile, we are introduced to the Hawk King’s second in command, U’nala, a one-winged Hawken who has gone crazy from decades of administrative work.  Nevik, the Hawken who tried to bring Steve to the Hawk King, informs U’nala of The Boy’s arrivial in the city.  U’nala doesn’t know who this The Boy person is, but he’s fairly certain it means bad news for the Hawk King–which always means more work for him.

Next Time on The Magic of Eyri (8.16.09): Are You a Pelican or a Pelican’t? — Steve and Uncle Shameless make a new friend.  A Mystic of Zuu tells Nevik and U’nala of The Prophecy.  Nevik informs the Hawk King of Steve’s arrivial. U’nala fills out more paper work.  Special Note: Introduces Robin Hudson (of Angel Between the Lines) as the voice of Eira, the pelican!

Ramblings: This episode is a bit short, but don’t worry–some of the next few will be longer.  I enjoy writing/voicing U’nala because he lets me be over the top/goofy, something I didn’t want to do with Fiach-Ra.  He’s kind of the Starscream to Fiach-Ra’s Megatron.
