It's close to midnight,
And I've been bashing this spot for an hour.
When you have 12 Strength,
It's hard to swing that battleaxe with power.
I try to scream
But find that I don't have a racial language.
I need Esteem,
But it's a long road with 11 Con.
I'm a big swan!
'Cause I'm a Triller -
Triller night.
I traded wings for power. Now, I feel a bit contrite
'Cause I'm a Triller -
Triller lite.
I'm running for my life inside a chiller Triller, tonight!
I see my health drop,
And realize I'll soon Conglutinate.
Maybe I'll Heartstop,
And seriously try Reincarnate.
It's breathing flame -
Thank gods for this Level 3 Cold Resista

I Can't Fight This Faeling
I can't fight this faeling any longer,
And, yet, I'm still afraid to let him go.
He once was level 30, but grew stronger
With enough credits to convert and transcend Crow.
I tell myself that I can't hold out forever,
And yet, there is good reason for my fear,
'Cause I feel insecure since we're together,
And now he's giving me afflictions -
Is that stupidity or fear?
And even as I tumble,
He's keeping me in sight.
Did he have that Totem last week?
Is it Crow or is it Night?
And my health gets lower than I ever thought it might.
And I can't fight this faeling, anymore.
I've forgotten what we started fighting for.

The Song of Cyrene
Sounds on light, silver bells.
She walks through the streets
Borne on music and spells.
From towers to dwellers,
From burgers to beer,
Her tune is incarnate
In many a sphere.
The Song of Cyrene
Bears a beautiful face,
And flows through our hearts
Speaking wisdom and grace.
She preaches our peace
And she blesses our runes.
She lights up our crystals
And carries our tunes.
The Song of Cyrene
Looks through bright, sapphire eyes,
And her smile, to the world,
Is a glorious prize.
Ne'er has her like
Been heard by us before,
Nor shall again come
One so swiftly adored.

I came from the Portal so small and frail -
A Strength of 7 and a Con of 9.
I bashed up my level to no avail,

My strength is still trailing, (more than a faeling)
But I'm not quite as small as before.
My Shadowcaster's not as small as before....
So many lessons have come and gone.
So many skills, and I need them all,
But one Nature spec helps me carry on -
I'm smarter and tougher and a bit more tall.

'B' is for Black Widow
"B" is for black widow.
A small creature is she,
Yet, still, is very dangerous
All people will agree.
With legs all thin and spindly,
And body oh so small,
The world might pass around her
Without regard at all.
But this would be a grave mistake
As, quietly, she lay
And waits for opportunities
To seize upon her prey.
For, although on the outside,
She may not seem so strong,
Her bites are the most poisonous
That to a beast belong.
And though she may seem tiny,
Perhaps not very brave,
She has brought down the mighty
And the large folk to the grave.

Of Thee, the Maiden of the Summer Song,
A thousand pages would my pen consume.
To Thee, true hearts of Glomdoring belong,
And in Thy name, Thy vision we assume.
Thy hair so pale, it puts the Moon to shame.
Thy countenance, an ebon jewel so fair
And terrible as stars that fall to flame.
Thy beauty cloaks a hidden threat. Beware,
Be wise - all ye who enter Glomdoring
And think to do Her forest harm, for She
Hath spun a web that snares before the sting
In darkness that shall be the last ye see.
For it was in Her name we broke Her chains,
And it is in Her name we reap the Planes.

The Arrival
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the umpteenth night, Adso placed his hands inside a small, chalk circle he had drawn on the floor weeks ago. Inside and around the perimeter of the circle lay ashes and charred remains of the various reagents and alchemical powders used for the enchantment -- the same one that brought Adso through the Void to this shard so many months ago. Tonight, he felt, would be the night that the procedure would be complete.
Hours later, he was rewarded with a sharp reflux of energy - a telltale sign that the gating was complete. Something was not right, t

The Lights Have Faded
The Lights Have Faded, and the twin moons shine dimly in the sky, twin slivers providing the barest of illumination. It is late, very late, and only one occupant remains in the tavern with a half-drained pint of stout and a pipe whose, like the fire in the hearth, embers are slowly fading. His new, white robes are already grey from the dust of the road. The beautiful barkeeps had flirted with him as always, as a joke between them, but they have long since cleaned the bar and the floors and wait, impatiently, for the monk to go home.
Adso does not notice. He is thinking of a time mere months ago when he lived in a small village near the Lycae
The Satyr - O, what a wonder is he!
A lover and brawler of highest degree!
The dryads and naiads all giggle and sigh
When bearers of horn and of hoof happen by.
Old as the forest and young as the spring,
They love and they battle, they drink and they sing.
So curtsey to hoof, and salute to the horn,
For in Satyr breasts, Maya's passion is borne.
The love of a Satyr at first seems elusive -
Flighty and fickle and hardly exclusive,
But capture his heart - thou shalt have in the end
No truer defender, or lover, or friend.
The joy of a Satyr rings Sapient halls
With laughter and singing resounding the walls.

The Conquest of Forestwatch
Listen to the humans as they chatter and they hum:
Treacherous dogs with teeth all shining.
In walls we defended, we see them dining,
On our spoils dining,
Building on their fortress like the beating of a drum,
The walls all aligning,
Pounding in the postern like the beating of a drum,
Thrum, thrum, THRUM!
Blood rings my ears as I look through the haze,
The buckawns on my flank are quietly creeping,
Behind those walls, their Lord is sleeping,
No buckawns sleeping,
Then CHARGING to the fortress in a militant phase,
Their children are weeping,
Cut down by our solidiers in a militant phase,
Raze, raze, RAZE!

On a Cyrene night,
The dark sky in my lover's eyes,
Like fresh-baked, tasty blackbird pies,
It moveth me.
On a Cyrene night,
The Beirdd lyres, sentiment impart
Like Wardens' runes about my heart.
They sootheth me.
From whence doth come thine arcane power
To make it noon on my Clock Tower?
The Kindred's elemental fire
With our passion doth conspire!
On a Cyrene night,
Thou dost wrap me in thy charms
Like dozens of Khulhedra's arms.
It enchanteth me.
On a Cyrene night,
The Spire gleameth from afar
Like mugs behind the Ram's Horn bar.
They decanteth me.

What true heart, its cause may surmise?

O, who shall discover the source of this pain
Before night snuffs the Light and it dies?'

We soon shall discover the source of this waste.
Its violence our magicks shall tame.
Ember, remember,
Druid and Sentinel rush to thy cause.
Ere month's end, we shall know its name.'

My soul is as a lyre string
Set apart in space
But yonder lay my true love's string
Affixed in proper place
If I be plucked - just I, myself,
Delicious harmony
Doth ring throughout the land as she
Doth resonate with me
And when the hands of life do choose
To play her note in time
I vibrate, too, with her clear voice
And move within my line
Some may say that joining hearts
Will surely quench life's fire
But ne'er I knew how free I was
Till bound to her same lyre
She'd had the same dream every night for the past two weeks.
In her dream, the sun was setting as she wandered through the northern reaches of Ithmia Forest on her way to Hashan to visit her brother. Damp, multicolored leaves that carpeted the forest floor clung to her boots as she made her way eastward. Indeed, the air was filled with that heavy smell of damp foliage that she had often smelt in the woods after a rain or in the early morning's dew. From time to time, she would slip a little and reach out to steady herself against a nearby oak, clinging to rough contours of the bark.
As she made her way, she stepped on the edge of a heret
A Monk there once was - Horkvali by race,
And o'er all the lands, he engaged in a chase.
For this Monk loved apples. The lust in his eye
Would be greatly enflamed when the fruit he would spy.
But one further fetish would fill him with glee:
He loved to eat apples, then burn down the tree.
One day, after absence from Sapience's lands,
He spied a new orchard and spit on his hands.
"So many apples," he chirped with delight,
"And so many trees that I might set alight.
I'll raze them all down as each one, its fruit sheds."
The nearby inhabitants just shook their heads.
But one Bard was not so amused by this man.

To make hearts glad throughout thy land.
All thy great Houses make thee strong
With blade and spell and heart and song.
For thee, thy people's voice shall raise
To sing thee laud awash with praise.

Within these walls shalt thou find rest.

He laid me aside for but a moment.
I was his first love. He called me Three Moons, and with me he perfected the fighting style called Two Arts on the island of Kashar. When he drew me from my sheath, it was as if we became one. I felt his every emotion - anger, desperation, rage ... even his fear. I felt his emotions and I embraced them as if they were my own. In one desperate moment I became an angel of mercy to his victims, sending them each with a single stroke to the bowels of the Underworld.
Do you doubt a blade can feel? Perhaps you should ask Lucius Errikale. His fang was no help at King's Tomb, wh
