Vort was in love with the Fair Miaden from Sorschaville. However she was promied to be married to another. Vort longed to be with the princess as did the princess long to be with him. However she knew her duty was to her family and kingdom and could not be thrown away for love.
Every day the princess grew more and more sad as her promised wedding drew near. Her and Vorthalamue wold sneak away for picnics and long rides where no one could see them.
One night Vort could wait no longer. Even if it meant giving up the rest of his life he had the be with the The beautiful Princess Sorsc. He knew 1 night with her would last a lifetime. So he swam the moat, climbed the castle wall, balanced around ledges till he finally reached her window. When he arrrived he let him in and they spent hours that each knew would last them a lifetime. It was almost 5 am now and Sorsc knew that her maidens would be in soon as it was her wedding day and the preparations would be begin soon.
She kissed Vort with a passion and knew it would be the last. As he went to the window to leave he heard the door and became nervous. He started to loose his balance and grabbed at the curtains. However being a short dwarf he was too heavy for the rod and both he and the rod gave away as he fell to the gorund. Upon landing the rod became wedged in his eye. Sorsc was helpless and could not do anything but watch as he ran away in so much pain. Pain he suffered for her.
A few months later when her prince was away on a Quest, Vort came to princess Sorsc. She was very upset not knowing what had happened to him. He explained the fall and with much apprehension removed his patch. All that was there was a small gold knob from the end of the curtain. He explained it was the only thing he had left of there night and he would live with it as an eye for all eternity. He said he had to come so she wouldn't worry anymore. She claimed she would never love the prince the way she loved Vort. They made love all night and as they did the moonbeams glisted off his eye creating magical lights all around them. In the morning vort left and the princess continued her life as was expected of her.
Every now and then there are reports of a one eyed dwarf running from the castle in the wee hours of the morning. There are also reports of Magical Northern Lights coming from the castle that people cannot explain. Was it vort? Did they continue there secret love? No one but princess sorsc will ever know.
