Looking at you Feeling anew The caring I had It made me sad

Photographs from long past How long will they last? Friends of old I long to hold Back in my arms And keep them warm

Past is no longer Future is stronger Present will come and go Nostalgia does show Loving them all But not there to call

I find myself in the darkness, lying down, with my bow at my side. I hear nothing around me...just silence.

What has become of me? Have I fallen in a great battle? Ah, I remember now...I was alone, hunting in the Oren Wasteland, with my strongest dog beside me, Malakas.

I think this is enough Lumps of Iron to last us a week, Malakas.  I smiled.  Let's go back to town.

Suddenly, I was caught unawares by Undead Elmore Soldiers behind me.  Run for it, Malakas! There's too many of them!  I shouted to my faithful friend.

As we ran for it, I kept pelting the soldiers with silver arrows. There were about fifty of them! I see one by one fall, but there were still too many. I kept running, whilst shooting with all my might.

For being undead, these soldiers were quick as a fox. I would've thought that being an elf would make my feet swift and overcome these monstrous beings. Unfortunately, a few of them had caught up with me and pulled me towards them.

I struggled fervently. I had to get out of here, and fast. At this moment of struggle, I saw one of the undead soldier's eyes. The horror! They do not have eyes at all. These soulless entities had only one thing in their minds: death.

One of them punched me on my side. I writhed in pain, trying to get up. But I was still held down like a vice-like grip. Slowly, I felt death coming for me, as they continued beat me to a pulp. At a distance, I saw that my faithful dog, Malakas, lying on the ground, motionless. He had already met his fate.

I kept thinking of my dear kind husband, ToddA. Oh my love, I will never again see your handsome face. I will no longer feel your hand in mine. I will never again feel your arms around me. I will never see our children grow up.

For some reason, my soul felt like it had lifted from my body and floated above me. I watched as my body was torn apart by the undeads. I heard a shout from a distance. I turn my head at the sound, and saw Prince ToddA with his dogs and his sharp sword. He started to kill the undeads one by one in succession.

As the last one fell, he walked towards me and picked my body up with tenderness. With a swoosh, my soul went back down to my body.

Ah, my love.  cried ToddA.  I should've come sooner and you will have avoided this fate.

Enduring the pain, I smiled with difficulty at my beloved.  It is not your fault, my lord. Things happen for a reason. The time has come for me.  I tried to lift my hand at his handsome face, but my hand was too painful for me to move.

No, don't leave me!  shouted ToddA angrily, tears running down his cheeks.  I will not let you die!

I did not hear him. I merely said,  I want you to be happy. I don't want you to be alone. If you ever find someone else to love, love her like you loved me.  I started shivering uncontrollably. ToddA held me tighter.

I will never forget you, my love.  I said, after the shivering stopped. And there was darkness all over me. It was over.

I have finally set foot again in the land of Depardeiu. My prince, ToddA, has met up with me and we talked for some time. He invited me, later on, to hunt with him to Ivory Tower. I agreed right away, as I was wanting to get a hold of that Blood-To-Soul Crystal.

I had to gather up some supplies to tide me over for the hunt. This was the first time in weeks since I had one, and I didn't want to stop in midstream. I stocked up on silver arrows, some healing potions ((ojs)) and even some lesser healing ones. Then I used my Scroll of Polymorph to morph into an Orc Scout to be able to hit better. I left my dogs behind because I didn't want them to die during the hunt. Using my Blessed Teleportation Scroll, I was on my way.

My prince never looked handsomer. I haven't seen him in so long. I casted Earth Skin and a bunch of other spells on us to protect us further. I took a deep breath, and followed my prince inside the mysterious Ivory Tower.

We walked quickly, as we didn't want to waste our spells just by walking. By the time we got to the third level, Prince ToddA stopped.  Arathin is coming with us,  he said. I was overjoyed, as Arathin is a good hunter and part of our alliance. While we waited, I regenerated my mana by casting Blood-To-Mind. Of course, my health began going down, but I didn't mind. ToddA just laughed.

Arathin finally came, and we set off. The next level was very dark and gloomy. I've been there before, but I still felt chills on my spine as we trudged the dark hallways. We started hunting. The Iron Golems were very strong, it took a while to beat them down. The Living Armors, the ones I seek that drop B2S, were easy enough, but they do hit hard. We kept doing this for a while. I have gotten a few drops here and there, but not worthwhile...yet.

After hunting for a good long time, ToddA had to call it quits.  I'm so tired. I'm falling asleep.   he smiled at us. I told him to go back to Oren and get some sleep in the inn there. He bade Arathin and I farewell and teleported back to town.

Arathin and I kept going. I still have not gotten the crystal I seek, but this was such good training for me, I really didn't mind not finding it. As we were busy hunting down Living Armors, Iron Golems and Mimics, I was surprised to get this from one of the Living Armors:

Arathin told me to use a Scroll of Identify on it, because it might be blessed. Sure enough, it was. I was quite happy about it and was thinking of selling it one of these days.

We called it a hunt after an intense training. I went to the dwarf storage and deposited all the important drops I had gotten. I forgot to mention that I had acquired a High Quality Ruby as well. Arathin looked around all the cities to see how much that Blessed Banded Mail was. He couldn't find the price for it, so I told him that I'll wait until another day.

You don’t really care - That I looked for you. You don’t really care - I wept for you. You don’t really care - I walked the world for you. You don’t really care - Do you?

Do you really care - What’s going on with me? Do you really care - If I slipped and fell? Do you really care - If I’m stuck here. Do you really care - Do you?

I do.

You don’t really care - That I cry at night. You don’t really care - When I tell you I’m here for you. You don’t really care - When I need a hug. You don’t really care - Do you?

Do you really care - Something’s wrong with me? Do you really care - You want to hold me close? Do you really care - Things will be okay? Do you really care - Do you?

And I wander, thinking of nothing but sleep.

And I wander, thinking of something but that.

And I wonder, if the rice is already cooked.

These are lyrics to a song I wrote but it’s still a nice poem.

Whenever I'm with you I don't know what to do Whenever I'm with you I can't seem to be blue

You're all I want You're all I need I just don't want to be Without you.

Whenever I'm with you You're all I ever see Whenever I'm with you You bring me down to my knees

You're all I want You're all I need I'm so happy now That I'm with you

Refrain: I may be lazy, I may be shy We might not see eye to eye But that don't matter It just gets better As long as we have each other

Whenever I'm with you I don't have to worry Whenever I'm with you I know I won't be sorry

You're all I want You're all I need I'm so happy now That I'm with you

I keep thinking I should write again. Sing the songs I write. But…

I always say I don’t have time It’s never the right moment I can’t do it Maybe later No inspiration

But when will I have the time? When is the right moment? When can I do it? Now? Need a muse?

lying in the dark, an ache of loneliness, a lingering sigh, a raging desire for your warmth beside me.

stomach churning, heart racing, body searching, hands reaching for your arms to hold me.

restlessness arise, not under control, tossing and turning, no direction to go but towards your loving embrace.

Author: Lanaia June 2005. This is a roleplay poem within the MMORPG game called Nexus: The Kingdom of the Winds.

Scared to bits Hair standing on end, This little animal Was ready to bend.

Muse Goat was hungry So she ate Lanaia's dress, Lanaia was so angry She liked Muse Goat less and less.

a blanket of comfort, a yearning of darkness, a regeneration of life,

a temptation at idleness, a rendering of dreams, a barrage of neurons,

a relaxation of limbs, a total nothingness of the unknown.

She looked dirty, All tattered clothes envelop her body Sitting and sleeping In the gutter. Yet she was a mother Her kids lost, Her home gone Her beloved turned to dust. A life torn for another. Things are not what they seem.

Signals. Green. Red. Yellow. Faster and faster. Time tags along. He catches up to me. And then leave me behind.

Prison. Cells of dank and loneliness. Yet so bright I can hardly see. Time comes in and ruins it. He turns off the light, But not in my eyes.

Stuck in a well, Feeling forlorn. Doubt overflowing, And mood is gone bowling.

Nowhere to run, Nothing to do. Fear in itself, Is laid on a shelf.

Uncertainty strikes... Where do I belong? What do I believe? Should I remain strong?

Death is on the rise... Nothing to live up to How can I tell, If I meant something to you?

Smile, as despair is hid. Love, as sadness bid. Hug, as lonelines hold. Laugh, as tears run bold.

Nowhere to run, Nothing to do. Mind needs tuning... Heart bids yearning.

Death in my heart. No life within me. Yet hope arise As God is beside me.

Lifting me Holding me Carrying me Loving me

Love is abound And the feeling is strong. Assurance of life Nothing could go wrong.

Yet hope arise As God is beside me.

One night, I was laying down and all of a sudden I had a little itch in my throat, but as I inhaled to cough and did so, it felt like I tore something in the back of my mouth.
