Ichabod is a brown 'faerie' prince who's crossed over into Earth-realm from Outworld to help a New England to rid the dilemma of a dark headless specter known as the Horseman.

ICHABOD: As the human-transformed New England 'detective' hunting the Horseman, I'll become a 'courtier' of local courage!

Ichabod, now a 'dashing' human prince of New England and detective-hunter of the 'Headless Horseman' and fierce advocate of local courage, notes that the local university football-team is deeply 'troubled' because of the threat posed by this dark headless specter who's terrorizing Catholic sensibilities and terrorizing one specific couple, a quarterback-and-cheerleader named Peter-and-Lyria.

ICHABOD: I've hunted down this 'Headless Horseman' and trapped him in a -water-ditch- by luring/trapping him with smoke!

LYRIA (Princess of New England): Ichabod, my wonderful faerie-prince of mystery, I've come to be your princess, courtier!

ICHABOD: My dear sweet beauty, I was 'thinking' I'd be the guardian of your fair New England town, courtier of courage only.

LYRIA: Don't offend the local townsfolk who've sent me as your 'official' bride-maiden of 'honor' for your heroic(s).

ICHABOD: My lady of honor(s), I fear I'm simply serving as a 'paid-mercenary' for your 'trouble(s)' and worry about your life!

LYRIA: Do not question such honors, Ichabod my faerie-prince of heroics, for this 'gesture' of courtier-love is town-sanctioned.

ICHABOD: Were the 'Headless-Horseman' still lurking, I'd wonder if he'd 'target' me as some mercenary-infidel (profiteer).

LYRIA: Do not fear, prince of New England, man of heroics; this town-sanction references the commandments of security-IQ.
ICHABOD: What about your handsome beau, Peter, my dear Princess Lyria of New England (tell me!).

LYRIA: You're an honorable man, but Peter's part of this 'sanction' and is himself 'gifted' a prize-bride maiden in exchange!

ICHABOD: Aha...so all is well in this Paradise of restored securities now that the dark Horseman specter is put-to-rest.

LYRIA: Precision, faerie-courtier; dashing!
