Topic: Lord of the Rings Trivia Game
Subject: To Go To War (Helms Deep)


I believe that is the answer to your question.

My question (If I am right)

"I have passed the test, I will diminish and go into the West...."

Who says this?

Topic: Serpents Tale: Part 2
Subject: answers


The reason they want the newborn baby is for leverage over the couple. The couple being held captive are Sharlina's relatives. The people holding them hostage were able to overthrow the couple and their guards while Sharlina was making her trek to visit them.

If the enemies take possession of the child, they can train it to turn against the parents, etc...but most mothers would give up their life or anything asked for their child. I am unsure if I will play her as the common mother, or if I will make her show indifference to the event once it happens.

Alright Pit, you want more, you should check out my previous work...also found in this section though way back when...I have a bunch of things posted here...I will try to write new ones though as well (on slow days at work)

Admiral: Thank you very much I decided to stick with a pattern with this one, first one I have done like that in a VERY long time, as you have seen in most of my work, I would rather just let it free flow.

Topic: Lord of the Rings Trivia Game
Subject: Three Elves


3 rings were given to the elf immortal, wisest and fairest of all creature.
7 to the dwarf lords, great miners and craftmen of the mountain hall
and 9, nine rings were gifted to the race of men, who above all else desire power.

But they were all of them, deceived, for within these rings was bound the strength and will to govern each race.

In the land of mordor, in the fires of mount doom the dark lord sauron forged in secret a master ring to control all others. Into this ring he poured his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life.

I know for certain that Galadriel and Cirdan were shown in the first movie in the begining but can't remember the third person's name...not sure if it counts as the answer....

If so here is my question:

its a challenge I had from a coworker...I asked him to pick a topic and then I wrote a poem on that topic for the following day...in fact I had it sent to him within the hour, though he had already left for the day.

Topic: Animal Safari
Subject: Animal Safari


Alright, so I had this idea about an Animal Safari. The game would be set in the wilderness and you can choose to be either human, or animal. Depending on the entries, I will create an intro deciding where it is located exactly.

REQUIRED INFORMATION
NAME:
ANIMAL OR RACE:
DESCRIPTION:
BACKGROUND:


**Half-Elf and humans should be most common as they live in the village and would be most interested to join the cause. Other races will be able to join as the village is a common rest stop for travellers.**

Please submit your character stats so that I can include you into the adventure.

Topic: Where's that...
Subject: Where's that...


Damn pull coming from!?!?!?! I can't seem to stay away from here for long. I have found my creative juices again. Had a coworker read my short story A Serpents Tale and he loved it. Let him read part two, and he likes it so far. He gave me some ideas to help me finish part two, and in doing so I can make a whole series of short stories based on this adventure. I am super excited to have found inspiration.

You will notice that I have posted a poem under the creativity subject (An Odd Poem...) and I am still searching for more feedback on my short story part 2. I am hoping (after this weekend) to get back to the inn permanently.

I am currently in the process of moving (yes again). Mom bought a condo, so I am looking forward to being done all the labor and be able to go to the spa to relax. After this weekend I will have some time to find myself a game to join if possible.

To Pick & Pack:

You have picked the place clean
Of everything we had
Packed away the memories,
That brought us together.

You have picked the worst day,
In showing yo're glad.
You packed away the thoughts,
That have become, light as a feather.

You have picked the ideas,
To reveal to your comrade.
To Pack away for a brighter tomorrow
On our days of sunny weather.

You have picked up after me,
Like a wonderful lad.
You packed the mess away,
Thank You Very Much Sir.

Alight, so it took a while, but finally decided I am ready to continue working on the Serpents Tale. I started part two, but a looking for some more ideas. Below is the first one whick was already previously posted, and I will post what I have so far for part 2. It isn't much at all yet, but I want a few more ideas on where to go from here.


A Serpents Tale...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The red sun rose in the east as the winds whispered from the south. The sky was a blanket of blue with the exception of red and pink; which coloured the sky in the east. The oaks and willows of the forest blew gently as the swift wind raced through the trees, and dying completely before reaching the heart of the bush.

The birds chirped merrily as a cold night gave way to the promise of a beautiful spring day. The cool air was refreshing since the heat of the previous day’s sun had proven to be a wasted day. A golden haired, bear of a man, lay peacefully sleeping beneath the protection of a weeping willow. The man woke abruptly to the sound of a branch breaking from the tree above. Lying on his back, the young man’s bloodshot emerald eyes opened quickly, barely in time for him to roll out of the way of the falling objects. Instinctively, he reached for his prized dagger. To his surprise, the creature was nothing more than a malnourished raccoon. The dagger in hand, he rose clumsily and painfully from where he had stopped rolling. Josh clawed towards the helpless animal. He had hoped the raccoon would run away and scare any other animals lurking about in search of easy prey.

The man was hard to ignore because he was six-foot-five-inches tall and with a very handsome face, to make this man both intimidating to men, and intriguing to women.

The sound of hooves upon solid earth rang loudly through the forest. His eyes flicker about the trails, until he noticed a coal colored colt rushing in his direction. The raccoon heard the horse and quickly disappeared up the nearest tree. It was then he realized that his sweaty hand still grasped the dagger and he carefully sheathed his weapon in its scabbard.

Josh stood in disbelief as the horse stopped in front of him. If he had any hope of being saved, it was thrown away at the familiar sight of his colt. His leg gave way to his weight as he fell against the powerful frame of his faithful companion. Josh’s free hand moved to his left leg, which had been injured approximately nine days ago.

“Smoke! What are you doing here!? You were supposed to go home and get Thomas! To let him know I’m alive!” his voice boomed through the dense forest.

The sound of thunder roaring through the prison of oak and willow brought confusion to the thin face of the hungry man. The part of sky visible to the man was light blue; so Josh decided an army of horses must have caused the sound of thunder. The riders wore shining armor and rode with elegance. The leader wore a full helm and rode on the back of a young paint. Upon seeing the man, the leader had halted the followers and removed the helmet slowly. Long whitish blonde shimmering hair fell over her shoulders and down to her lower back, her eyes a darker green than those of the dying man before her. The flawless mask of serenity covered her features from the emotions she felt in finding her older brother so helpless.

Sharlina sat upon the saddle as if she has always been there. Josh leaned against smoke for support, stunned to find his younger sister coming to his rescue when she was not supposed to be home for another two weeks. Remaining by his colt, he listened to his sister’s words though still visually shocked by her presence. Her voice was soft and teasing as she grinned:

- Do you always yell at your horse Josh? Or are you suffering from delusions from lack of nourishment?
- Shimmer! What are you doing in Zandof when you were supposed to be visiting our beloved cousins in Zion? Besides, how in the name of Heaven and Earth did you find me here? In the middle of the forest!?

It was obvious that Josh was not in a mood to joke, which his sister had obviously noticed. Her grin had vanished as she replied to her brother.

-The reason I’m here is because of that colt of yours. Well and the note you’d sent him with. Besides aren’t you glad to see me?

Sharlina’s grin had returned as she began to tease her brother in a loving manner. Josh shook his head and smiled.

- Of course I missed you Shimmer, you may be my sister, but I consider you a daughter to me. After all, I did raise you. But why were you at the castle?
- Are you alright to stay in the saddle?

Josh knew that Sharlina was hiding something. He eyes her carefully as he shook her head with a deep sigh released. Sharlina watched her brother as he laughed replying quickly.

-Had I been able to ride, do you think I’d have sent Smoke to find help? I’d have ridden if I didn’t break my ankle. I just hurt it even more just before you showed up.

Josh had injured himself on a trip to scout the terrain which they wished to add to the realm of Zandof. His older brother was King when he left, and he hadn’t been back home in almost two weeks. Josh had gotten worried and after falling off Smoke he broke his ankle landing the wrong way. He had not moved again until just before his sister’s arrival.

-Then it’s a good thing I asked the guards to bring a horse wagon with us.

The guards moved to Josh’s side and carried him onto the wooden wagon, which was filled with straw to offer comfort. With a groan of pain, he lay in the wagon as Smoke was tied to a lead and followed the rest of the horses.

Sharlina watched as her brother was loaded into the wagon, before replacing her full helm. Though a pair of guards directed their mounts to the front of the pack. Sharlina rode beside the horse-drawn wagon to ensure her brother’s safety. The castle guards protected the young royalty. Josh turned to meet his sister’s gaze, as he noticed pain and sorrow in her deep green eyes. He sat in thought for the entire trip back to the castle, knowing whatever caused her pain would not be revealed until their arrival.

The horns of Zandof sounded loudly as the search party returned in sight of the castle. The gates opened only moments before the guards reached their boundaries. The streets seemed flooded with people of the kingdom, wishing to show respect and fill their curiosity. A look of concern filled the faces of many bystanders as they watched the prince lay helplessly in the wagon. Sharlina removed her helmet as they passed through the main streets of their town.

The sun was high in the sky as they reached the royal stables. The footman helped Sharlnia from her horse and quickly moved her mount into its proper stall. The guards moved Josh from the cart in to the castle. His thoughts were racing as his sister entered his Royal Chambers.

Sharlina dismissed the guards and quickly Josh questioned his sister; “You never answered my question Shimmer. Why did you return to Zandof with such haste?”

She looked at Josh carefully before she realized that she had not thought up and excuse. Josh eyes her carefully as she replied: “Josh, I’m so sorry, I didn’t tell you as soon as I saw you. Thomas passed away a few days after you left. I’m so sorry.” She cried softly. Sharlina covered her face with her cold hands as she sobbed gently. Josh studied his sibling’s actions, carefully noticing how much his sister had changed.

Josh laughed: “You’re lying to me Sharlina! Thomas didn’t pass away, you murdered him. You are not my sister. What did you do with her!?” his voice booming loudly but he knew he would not get the help from the guards. He was rather helpless, the only thing he had was his dagger. Carefully he eyed the woman in the room.

Sharlina’s laugh was different from earlier and she could not help but reveal who she was. Her eyes turned red as she spoke “You’re right…how did you know? You are my next victim. If I can kill you, than the throne will be mine! You beloved sister is locked up in Zion, never to be seen again. Let’s not mention how I killed your brother without anybody else knowing it was murder. Everyone thinks he died in his sleep. After all, the only reason he got sick was because of me” she had a laugh that he could not quite pin a face to.

Josh shook his head and wondered if he would be able to avenge his brother’s death. The woman quickly swept across the floor and had her icy cold hands round his throat as he struggled to catch his breath. For a woman she had a strong grip, and it was then it struck him who this was. It was one of their servants in the stalls. Somebody who had access to each of them. As he started to turn blue from lack of oxygen, the guards burst through the door and pinned her to the wall. Josh drew in quick but deep breathes to fill his hungry lungs.

-I want you guys to put her in the dungeons under constant supervision. I’d like to be briefed about everything that’s happened in my absence. Commander, take a group of your best men out to Zion with great haste. I wish to find my sister still alive. Let’s not waste time. I’ll be briefed when my sister is back safely in my watch.

-You can’t do this to me. My plan was flawless! I walked through it so many times and I couldn’t find any flaws. It’s just not right… I mean I…

- You can never find flaws in your own work. A lesson learned, not that it will benefit you much…


SERPENTS TALE PART 2: Slippery Business

Zion was a quiet kingdom far to the north of Zandof, and much smaller than its surrounding neighbours. The seasons were changing swiftly, and the blowing winds caused worry for those living in Zion. Sharlina had even more to worry about than normal, as she and her cousins were locked away in the very top of the tower. The windows had been broken for years in the tower and the wind chilled the four of them to the bones. Sharlina had been locked in the tower for a month, with little food and no real protection from the cold. Shyenth, and his wife Keren, Sharlina’s cousins, and their son Lan had been locked up for over three months now. Karen was expecting her child within the next two ten-day, and she would have a difficult delivery indeed if they had to deliver the baby in these conditions.

Sharlina was huddled beneath a window gazing out into the frosty air, but she was seeing nothing at all before her, as she was lost in memories of better times. Lan, walked over to the window near his cousin, from his tiptoes he could see the black clouds that were heading their way. For the hundredth time he looked down from the window towards the ground and debated attempting the jump, but again reason one that decision. The drop from the top of the tower where they were being held captive was over fifty feet from the ground. The wind was razor sharp against their already cold skin, and so they huddled together as close to the wall as they could to try and stay warm.

As prisoners they had very little given to them to keep warm, just enough so that they would not freeze to death. They were fed food that was starting to show mould, and only dirty water. All four of them were malnourished and wore nothing more than soft shoes, a pair of pants and a long sleeve shirt. The guards at their door would not provide them a blanket to sleep on, or even coats against the cold. Numerous times they had banged on the door asking for coats or blankets, anything for protection against the chilling air, and were beaten for disturbing the guards needlessly.

Shyenth already sported a bad cough, and this winter storm looked bad, it was only the beginning of the storm. Lan was shivering despite being in the centre of the huddled circle, and Keren was starting to look like she was a statue, she was not moving at all, eyes closed and kneeling against the wall of the tower. Shyenth and Keren were more accustomed to the weather in the North than Sharlina, however her strong will was enabling her to better face the elements.

The door swung open and for the first time since being held captive, they were escorted from the top of the tower to one of the lower sections of the tower, but placed under heavy guard. Soup was fed to them and a blanket provided to each of them for the night. The temperatures dropped below average for the time of year, and the snow was so thick you could hardly see a foot in front of you. The commander of the guards spoke to them when they had finished eating, and the words rang in their minds.
“From the beginning, we have treated you badly, but all of that changes for the winter. We are human, not monsters, you will stay on this level for the remainder of the winter, with blankets and hot meals. Your son will work for us in the kitchens for you to be able to stay here however. When you give birth to your child, wench, you will forfeit it to us.”

Hey all I've finally found my way back here, life's been pretty busy the past while with work and life in the big city, but finally I have found some time to come back home to visit.

Good News! I've finally finish up until book 12 of the Wheel of Time series, the next book doesn't come out until Sept/Oct of this year, so until then I"ve started reading the "Forgotten Realms" series "The Legend of Drizzt" it's REALLY good so far even though I'm only in book one!

How has everyone been around here? Any news I should be aware of?

Every Saturday I go horseback riding for an hour with my mom up like an hour away and it's so wonderful. It's such an escape as I've never had and a real big workout to ride properly!

I've missed you guys!
