"The Eternal Champion", Chapter 7 : Once again Erekosë is talking about his love for Iolinda. He thinks John Daker would make fun about his pure love for the princess.

And I think again that Erekosë could simply be asexual, when John Daker is simply straight.

Now that I have finished to read the whole first tome. Maybe John Daker in him, who seems to live in a modern area where he could read fantasy, watch movies, read book and comics. Felt the big cliché in this pure princess.

Thanks to @vurthshistorian for comments and inspired me to talk about John Daker !

"The Dragon in the Sword" (1987), 2nd book, Ch. 3 :

Princess Sharadim keep the room she assassinated her brother (Flamadin) in dark atmosphere because she pretends to still communicate with his soul.

Does that means the Eternal Champion soul is actually travelling soul from boddy to body ?

What will happen to Flamadin's body when Erekosë will leave it ? Is Flamadin actually dead ? If yes, will he return to corpse state ? Vanish ? Or will he resurrect ?

Isn't the Eternal Champion basically just be a gamer that switch from a MMORPG to an other ?

"The Dragon in the Sword" (1987), 2nd book, Ch. 2 :

Erekosë as Prince Flamadin found back his queer people. The Xenans. I am so glad !

Go save the lesbians my boy !! 🔥

Also, glad to be confirmed that Erekosë was really ace in the first volume of Erekosë's Quest. Because you know, Xenans actually need some drugs to intimate intercourses with humans.

"The Dragon in the Sword" (1987), 1st book, Ch. 3 (part 4) :

Von Bek is a true bro for the Prince Flamadin (Erekosë), rescuing him everytime this one is loosing his shit about who he is.

"The Dragon in the Sword" (1987), 1st book, Ch. 4 (part 2) :

For now I can't define Prince Flamadin sexuality, even he seems attracts more women.

I just learn about his refusal to spouse his twin sister Sharadim and I can't wait to read more about it (Out of our common sense of incest). And about her. She seems have some great powers instead of the Eternal Champion in this universe.

"The Dragon in the Sword" (1987), 1st book, Ch. 4 (part 1) :

The Prince Flamadin (Erekosë) dreamt about the lost love of his life Ermizhad. He screams her name in his sleep and Von Bek came to wake him up.

This is a classic scene. But it could sounds more straight if the face Ermizhad wouldn't just disapeared slowy to be replace by von Bek's.

"The Dragon in the Sword" (1987), 1st book, Ch. 3 (part 3) :

It's funny how the Prince Flamadin (Erekosë) is said being described as "handsome" in books that are counting his adventures.

The question now is : How handsome ?

Is it like as a popular friendly hero who cannot be ugly OR as an alpha man who seduces every ladies by moving a single muscle OR as heartbreaker for everyone ??

"The Dragon in the Sword" (1987), 1st book, Ch. 3 (part 2) :

It's kinda cute the way Erekosë (now called Prince Flamadin) and von Bek started to act like two kids just after validated their newborn friendship.

Von Bek entraining Flamadin in the corners of the ship castle he discovered and studied in early morning, to show him things he found interesting and a place to eat.

"The Dragon in the Sword" (1987), 1st book, Ch. 3 (part 1) :

What would be an Eternal Champion companion without wearing some good tight leather clothes ?

Von Bek had to change his early XXth century civilized German clothes for some rustic leather ones. As he said looking like a Sturm und Drang brigand. Which is a reference to a political and literary German movement from the XVIIIth century.

And kinda homoerotic.

"The Dragon in the Sword" (1987), 1st book, Ch. 1 :

Ulrich von Bek (who already met or will meet the Eternal Champion) and the present incarnation of Erekosë form a "couple". I am pretty sure there are many other way to call them together and YET. It is the way Moorcock or the french translation decided to talk about them.

How cute of Erekosë to suggest to von Bek to wear his coat to not get a cold...

"The Dragon in the Sword" (1987), Prologue, pt 5 :

"I was screaming. I was awake and the captain dominated me." (translation by me)

No, you can't just write it like that. Not when I already said it was gay to them to only wear leather kilt...

AND like 5 lines after that :

"I wore no kilt nor sword. I was completely naked." (translation by me)

AND few lines later, Erekosë (or whoever he became), wore tight dark leather clothes. I laughed out loud to be honest.

"The Dragon in the Sword" (1987), Prologue, pt 4 :

Oh I laughed. I laughed so hard. Erekosë arrives and only wears a kilt and harness made with leather. Also the Captain wears it, and extend him a muscular hand to help him to get on board.

Then go together in the captain cabin to eat a private dinner...

There is no heterosexual reason to this.

"The Dragon in the Sword" (1987), Prologue, pt 3 :

Hear me out : The Eternal Champion has something for red hair. He says the "pretty/handsome Bladrak with his red hair". I know, some could says "if you are a man you can find an other one pretty without being called gay".

But I already said in earlier posts about Urlik and Bladrak they have both bisexual vibes.

I mean like Elric and Moonglum. The little man isn't described as handsome, but he clearly appeals Elric anyway...

"The Dragon in the Sword" (1987), Prologue, pt 2 :

When Urlik had something to do, a mission in this iced world, he was just a sad man. But, now he finished it, he literrally falls in a deep depression full of drugs. And suicidal thoughts.

He sure looks more like Erekosë.

"The Dragon in the Sword" (1987), Prologue, pt 1:

So. The Eternal Champion been and will be of any gender or body ? Okay but I don't remember read a Moorcock's books (I think I've read a lot of them there) where the main character was a woman.

Anyway ! Let's go for an other book about Erekosë !

It has lot of more pages than the two others and being wrote 17 years later. Let see evolution the story telling had !

French edition (1991)
