The waters blow fiercely upon my shores!
The rocks have been blown away
I fear the worst, that a great tidal wave is coming!
Even my advisors have told me of this!
Please, Priestess Lucrecia, pray to Poseidon
The great Sea Lord Neptunus
For I fear only he can save my flock
My children
And my beautiful wife, Glorificia
I do haste this letter make it to your house in swift time
Do not mind the small, inconsistent rhymes
I hear it brushing on the sides
Even the horses fear it.
Regards, with the sincerest thanks,
Count Fooldsgard

A Dying Dwarf's Final Shout
By the Valar! Why must my axe be broken!
The darkness overcomes me! Aule, show your great mercy to this child!
I am at your mercy, my Creator, and my forge shall always carry your remembrance!
For the last times, Aule. Bring me to your home with open arms, so that I may dwell
Under your forge, till my brothers come to join me.
The horse grazed in the field
So did the cow.
The cow ate the hay of the barn
As did the horse
The horse jumped and ran
The cow could not
The horse came to the cow, and said
'Why can you not jump with me?'
The cow said
'I am too large, and I cannot jump'
The horse brought the cow to the oak tree
'Jump, now'
The cow tried once, and could not jump as high as the horse
Then the cow tried twice, and still could not
Then, with a great heft, the cow leapt, and up he went, and up, and up
So high that the oak tree could not see her
Neither could the horse
The farmer wondered where his cow had gone
The cow waved to the moon, as it pa
Part 1
The morning was nice and moist, the product of a long night of steady rainfall. The hoofs of the horse trampled the ground, the drowned grass squishing and mashing as the black steed trampled it, speeding with a nearly unnatural speed down the great plains, approaching a lone hill, the grass an odd spring-pink. Here dwelt Falv, the greatest of the Knight of that age.
The dark brown wooden pipe in his mouth puffed a thick grey smoke. His hair was slightly graying, a sign of approaching age. This was how he spent his afternoons and evenings. 'I need none but a mug of ale, and my favorite pipe,' Were the words he said to those whom ques
For 100 days and 99 nights, the waters of Uae rumbled with a furious anger, under the control of Huuen, his power over the world stripped from him, his being reduced to being merely the controller of the waters. Unknowing of this, Jurtar let loose the first men. These men were gargantuan in structure, their skin a light green. They built great ships, and began sailing the waters.
Their ships were destroyed by Huuen, now known by the Deities as Jurnar, the counterpart of Jurtar in many ways, though not in power. Not anymore, at least. Jeeriz was granted a special place on the underside of the rectangular world created. His realm went without
I awoke to the abrupt noises of those damned large black boots I had heard way too much in recent events. The sore on the top of my head swelled and hurt even more as I struggled to wake myself. Is this really the best way they can subdue a fugitive?, I thought, the swelling ebbing, allowing me to finally fight myself to wake up.
My eyes still half-closed, I swung my legs around, resting on the bed, leaning over, my hands on my head, now throbbing again. Damn, I thought, standing up, stumbling around in a daze. The feck did they hit me with, I thought, my vision returning to me slowly as I awoke from my daze. A fecking cannon? Aah, there wa
At first there was only Jurtar. He was the fairest of all the Deities, the winged avians who watched over the barren world that was Uae. Uae was barren in its first days, no trees or water to mark its landscape. This did not bother the Deities, for they dwelt in their own world, apart from Uae. Uae was more or less the playground for the Deities, especially the Magdilon, a supreme council of the 7 most influensial and powerful Deities.
Jurtar headed this council, ruling over the other 6; Yrgrl, Jurb, Porkir, Hassun, Linz, and last of all, Jeeriz, the second in command in terms of power. He was second in the world of the Deities only to Jurta
The wooden walls of the Boar's Tusk gave way to the large drinking hall, circular in shape, littered with various tables and chairs. Many different activities took place here. The younger men sat in groups among the circular tables carved into the walls at the corners of the room. The older crowd also sat among themselves, telling tales, among other things. The Boar's Pelt was among the most popular buildings in the city, its fine ale known nationwide. The more shady individuals also did their business here, for the rest of the city was owned by Inquisitor Malestrom, making the inn the only building in the sprawling metropolis that governed i
Some say he stalks the night,
Some say he feeds the day,
Some say he scares the fright away,
Though some might say he isnt there,
The Sun is orange as his hair,
Even The Old Willow dare not tread his land,
And the Ghastly Ones kneel before his boots.

Marsilis the Fool: Chapter 1
Chapter 1 - Give it a good read, Tuck.
The slums of England; dark and fouled. Old Tuck didnt like this neighborhood, honestly. It was far away from home, in fact the entire city was far from his quaint forest hut. His only real reason for coming here was because every other supermarket hed been to had too high prices for an old fellow like him, who makes his way selling his wares and other junk. He was tall for his age, late early 60s if I recall correctly. His long grey beard drooped down to about his mid-section, and his balding head glimmered in what little light of the sun crept through the cl

I was devoid of title ideas. I just wanted to show that I'm going to be much more active from here on, and I'll probably add something new later tonight. I need some time to ponder what, but it shall be good.
This was very short, but I felt an odd need to update my journal.
Whoo! Let us all welcome summer by feasting and being merry!
Wells, expect much more activity and such. I'm thinking of adding more poetry, but there are many things that I've promised that I haven't uploaded, so I'll probably put those first. I'm also looking to try my hand at modern/urban literature (once my current work is completed and out of the way of course).
That's always been something I've wanted to do, I just lacked the determination to do so until now, so that's another tidbit.
Well, that's it. I just wanted to get that off my chest. Now off to work, and feast!
:D
Well, my monthly period of procrastination, wherein I spend the day watching T.V., is now complete.
Sooooo, that means to expect new deviations this coming week/weekend. I promise Phase 3 will be completed by Wednesday (Friday the latest).
This was short, but I just really wanted to get that off my chest and out there.
