an epic struggle - in my kitchen

Bill and I decided to watch a movie a few evenings ago - and Bill disassembled and put together again all of his Lego people. I got to put together a few. Then I fell asleep on the couch.

a few hours later (we're talking the wee hours of the morning) he woke me up to go to bed. The next morning this is what I found on my kitchen counter:
A battle scene of epic proportions. The good guys were really heroic, and the bad guys were bad as they come. There are a few groups at war, here. The Good King vs. the Dark Lord (see if you can spot 'em - the king flies his banner, and the Dark Lord has a wing-ed steed). The unfortunate time traveler...the random chinaman...

Here we have the band of merry men awaiting the order to shoot (wasn't it ducky of them to join the fray on the side of the Good King? usually they're a self-involved lot).

'Twas a gruesome battle, indeed. Viewer discression is advised. There are decapitations, de-leg-itations, and spears through torsoes aplenty.

Then, this afternoon, the battle scene had mysteriously disappeared. I wondered what had become of the Good King and his epic struggle? Who won???

Then I opened my cupboard to put some dishes away, and behold:
The Good King fights on!
The battle has taken new ground!

And look! Lego Stepper is in the thick of it! She will win the day!

(no, really. That's Lego Stepper. I made her myself and told Bill that she wanted to join the band of merry men - mostly because Lego Bill was the leader of the lot. That's him to the left, there. Falling over.)
