  1. Why do you think that they are fakes?
  2. Nath gives Wizard an understanding look. Ages descend upon him as he too sees that which is imperceptible to most others.
  3. Nath floats in the waters as his companions pass through. His eyes are wary searching the deep for threats.
  4. A sonnet I have brought into the world to follow the others from before.

     

    Musician Divine

    Tune that flows forth most softly and subtly,

    Come now and cast upon us your healing,

     You who might shapes reality humbly

    will be accused most falsely of stealing.

     

    Flute of moon illuminate our spirits,

    We long to bathe in your rapturous waves.

    Bind us in a passion without limits,

    Transform us into your most willing slaves.

     

    Mortal ears most unworthy seek you out,

    In shadow, the souls walk harmoniously,

    Frantic chaos calls even those with clout,

    Joyous song sung ceremoniously.

     

    Call us to you now O' muse of muses,

    Truly we are yours without excuses.

  5. Befriend them. What would you do if you found 7 turtle doves in your pocket?
  6. If I like the type of soup, drink it. What would you do if you found a cache of rare earth metals in your pocket?
  7. *Hugs* That's awful We are here for you kindness! If you need to talk about it further don't hesitate to reach out.
  8. Ask him where perry is. What would you do if you found the ark of the covenant in your pocket?
  9. Throw it into a bonfire. What would you do if you found a swatch of bloody cloth in your pocket?
  10. Wear it for luck. What would you do if you found a balrog in your pocket?
  11. Someone stop me. I did it again.

    Frozen Strains

    My eye is bewitched by the melody woven with the skill of the most powerful and ancient of deities. I gaze upon it and am carried to another place by a note that is mightier than even the sorcery of the sirens. It fills my bones with a gentle strength.

    Piercing gaze that conducts the whole of the world as true beauty puts even the most magnificent art to shame peers from on high. She whose flute shrouds the universe in a most subtle music that penetrates the soul defies the weak tongue of mortal bards. Beside a singing river, the silver throne purifies all realities.

    I behold all of nature join and dance in harmony when she loosens the fetters of the fleeting material plane. From the earth, flowers ascend to crown her with hidden rubies and sapphires now made pale and poor. Lush and deep hues are bleached as bones before her. Upon her brow, the promise woven of jewels calls for all of humanity.

    Drumming and pounding steps are a chorus that none can deny. As one all are singing and rejoicing. Tears of understanding dot the clouds and leach into the revelers. Eternity is captured in a tune and dance that are unified in its praise. Now a new epoch held to honor the former of the muses beckons me into its depth and all that I can do is enter its embrace.

      Communication between us is unambiguous and we are still due for our date this week. I might suppose so at least so far as I can tell.

    I'd like to know if ya'll like it. It was written for someone special and I would like to know how it might be received.

    #32    Ethereal Tune

    From the void comes forth a melody that sends shivers down into the very depths of the soul that sustains the cosmos. Life springs forth from the pure notes that split and rend the darkness and pull with them a light most unnatural. Phoebus lays down his lyre when upon the world this music comes. Fairest Diana weeps at the beauty that now compels Euterpe to come and learn at the knee of the musician that now has called wisdom into the mortal plane. Mars and his blade crumble before you. The sun glows a bit brighter now and burns but a little stronger. Diamonds and their prismatic rays are dull beside she who has so blessed existence. All of the birds of the past, present, and future give ear to this most marvelous of wonders. Stars sigh and then begin to dance across the expanse of the heavens under the grip of an entrancing spell beyond description. A flute of light inspires the greatest of all of the world’s wisdoms in all who even so much as draw close. She who is the binder of all of creation is beyond the ability of the mortal tongue to praise. Her eyes are alight with a grace at once so fierce and passionate so as to be without reckoning and at the same time kinder than any that have existed in the annals of history. That which is the work of her hand rises in immortality and defies the laws that usually hold things in their grasp. Mistress of the muse and lord of music yours is the ability to raise from nothing and form perfection. Your cloak drapes the realms and calls for a peace everlasting. Divinity is moved to tears of sadness, joy, contrition, and amazement as their hearts are transported to a realm so far above what even they can dream of and imagine. Conduit of such splendor, everything is yours by virtue of your wisdom, skill, beauty, and might. When all has gone the faintest haunting cords will hang in the air and recall immortal glory woven by your will.

      I can report that she loved it! We are going on another date in the middle of this week. I may also have accidentally written 3 more poems.

       

    4. DramaQueen

      DramaQueen

      Yay!!!!!!! Yayayayayyayayyayayyay!!!!!!! I'm so happy for you! :))

  14. Nath floats through into the depths and pushes back the darkness with a golden aura of light.
  15. @DramaQueen well now I can't unthink that. The somber repetition does achieve its goal of inducing pangs of loss. The imagery is scarce, but ultimately the emotion carries the poem. Well done!!
  16. In an instant, all that Nath had done ceased. His weapons vanished and he floated over to the others a tired look filling his eyes. "It never gets easier. The eons and millennia of slaughter are all the same oceans of blood and mountains of dead. I suppose there is little anymore that can surprise ones such as us when you have lived as long as we have." Nath floats toward the next gate.
  17. The name comes from a subclass of a race that I created for my duology. I am their king hence the name.
  18. Arrows of light spear dozens of blinded soldiers at a time. Massive hailstones rain from the sky and also crush dozens at a time. Nath summons two blades of light and leaps forward. With unnatural speed and grace he leaps forward. In a flash he is in the heart of the fire and death. Each blow severs limbs and drops bodies in their wake. He is a storm of light and unfettered carnage. Like a raging river he surges through cutting a path through the enemy.
  19. Nath stokes the heat of the lava and calls forth mighty winds. Flaming whirlwinds dance among the enemy. As one they cry out. Their vision turns dark and all sound is lost to them.
  20. "Ah good, a real fight then." Nath thrusts his hands out and hundreds of soldiers burst into flames burst in an instant. Their screams ascend as their flesh burns. The fires spread as more of them begin to catch. Hundreds more freeze in place and then shatter into piles of jagged fragments. Others clutch their throats gasping for air. These struggle for a few moments and then fall motionless. Bolts of lightning start raining from the sky and sow ever more death and destruction. Winds lift a portion of the survivors and violently toss them about. All of the while Nath looks on calmly.
  21. "Do surprise us." Nath's chuckle barely holding back a darkness as old as time itself.
  22. Ah yes, theodicy again rears its head. I must first say this is a thoughtful piece. Let me play the other side. Why would an omnibenevolent, omnipotent, and omniscient deity do that? We as human beings perhaps would like a God who thinks the way that we do to be the one if there is one. However, we may be making a large number of assumptions here. Such a deity likely would not seek to remove free will from human beings as a perfect world is meaningless. Immortal and infallible humans living in paradise are pointless. Why should such beings exist? A perfect deity does not need people to exist so what exactly would be the point of the human race to exist at all much less a perfect race that sits around in perfection. From this point, we have several options. Maybe no god exists and then we have no problem. Things might or might not get interesting as one can argue both sides. Option 2, A limited deity exists and therefore suffering and sadness exist because the said deity is either unable to or unwilling to prevent these things. However, this requires us to know why people exist, to begin with. Why would a limited god take the time or effort to create humanity in the first place? Even a cruel deity might not waste their time in creating this organism that maybe sometimes amuse it. If the said deity was not all-powerful, could it even create humanity? Maybe and maybe not. If the deity is not all-knowing, what was the end goal here? Seems like a shoddy plan to me. Said deity should be ashamed. What were they thinking? We do have a third option. Perhaps, an omnibenevolent, omnipotent, and omniscient deity does exist, but that deity was not playing games here and creating a toy to muse itself. Maybe that deity if it exists wanted what was best for humanity and created everything for them. That deity wanted them to be filled with purpose and the ability to choose. This means that they can choose poorly and hurt others. While this runs counter to the reason that the deity created things they do not want to break the world anymore. Therefore, they set up a system in the world where sometimes the most obvious "wrath of god" I guess you might call it visits those who make human suffering their business. I already sense the, but sometimes evil wins. They get away with it and never see justice. Is that always the case? We don't always see the paranoia and suffering that follows them around. They can live decades without a moment of peace. Forget an afterlife these people often live in an earthly hell of their own making. It might want good for us, but we sometimes just don't live up to that. Also, theodicy is a tricky thing that I hardly did justice to.
  23. One who understood was singing this tune of power. To others, it was a song to him it was so much more. He remembered the days when this power permeated realms and brought stability to the cosmos. He knew well the way that souls and magics drew close to its comforting embrace. There was little that he would not have done to hear her sing it again. To hold her close as she wove her magic and brought peace into the minds of so many. Alas, all he had now were that accursed dagger and this song. Yearning to continue filled him, but he slowed and let the tune fade away. The spell broke and the magics returned to whence they came. Their impact is almost imperceptible unless one knew what to look for. Though of course he always did. He falls back until he and Wizard are walking side by side. "Of all of our party, it makes sense that you would know." Nath stoked the heat of the lava ever hotter.
