Now and then I'll be holding little competitions to see who can guess the identity behind a poem I've written.
The first person to post the correct name of the char the poem was written for will win 1000 gold.
The first poem will be posted here shortly.

Torn from brimstone's grip, thrown to a world that died to him, long ago-- his eyes look only back, into a past where once reigned glory.
Warriors, all dead, sing hymns to battle in the banquet-hall of his mind, clash shields and raise tankards in honour of days that shone like steel.
And it's all so different now, days upon days blend to a blur; he wonders why the glory waned, how the great ones fell so low.
In his iron-forged memories the glory shines on, forever.

Congrats, Terra -- the poem was for Demont.
It will be polished up for use by him, if he wants.
I meant the poem, not Terra.

Nope, apparently if you rub her, a genie appears and gives you herpes.
(Genie = Vuryal: unless, of course, you take it to aim.)

Thank you. I'm done spazzing...
Though admins don't mind if Demont gooses me in the front of my back, soooo. I s'pose I could be shiny with a sticker and passed to Demont? I like stickers. And Demont. <3's Demmy Doll. You're an amazing poem-idea.

(I polished the poem instead. Now it's done:)
The Last Avian
Torn from Hell's own grip, thrown to a world that died to him long ago, he mourns his storm-lit skies, and silvered eyes look only back into a past where once was glory.
Warriors, all dead now, incant battle-hymns in the banquet-hall of his mind, shields and tankards raised in honour of days as bright as burnished steel, when the air
was thick with blood's scent, and white wings were stained red as dying suns; his fierce cry rang like Judgement Day's last knell in the ears of the wounded and dead.
Now the days blend to a blur; he wonders why the glory waned, how the great could fall so low. In him glory lives on: an iron-forged memory, struck to brimstone.

Going to continue with this, Tene? Really love reading your work, especially when the subject is a character from Hollow. =)

Hey Jaidin, thanks for reminding me about this.
This one isn't so much for one character alone, so no prizes for guessing who it's about. Bit like shooting fish in a barrel, really:
My name is Lady Wigglebum, I just blew in from Someplace Else, excuse me while I NPC my Royal Guard and hired help.
My Royal murdered Mum and Dad, whose Kingdom I have come to claim, (despite the fact it's Someplace Else), bequeathed to me my Royal name.
I'd be a goddess, but the Wiki says I can't (and that's no fun), so I'll just be insanely pretty, never age past twenty-one,
and swan around in silver gowns, smile and bow and nod a lot, cyber vampires in the mines, ('cuz slumming really makes me hot),
and when my b/f IRL is finished with his Warcraft craze he'll come to duel you all to hell for kicks (just like the good old days).
Til then, I'll whine on OOC, and bitch you out on MSN, while sitting in the Kelay Tav, emoting *glomps* to all my friends.
>: )

Smiling Man
-- for Diiroehn, the Lich
He's got a white-bone grin, a subtle tick to all his moves-- he's still a little slick, like gibbet-fat gone rancid in the sun. He's got no heart, no soul, nor anyone to stir the ashes of his long-dead fire; the smiling man knows nothing of desire.
He walks the earth, a remnant of himself, a sere and withered echo, gathering wealth and power-- cold amusement, filling time. He knows the aeons reeling in his mind are only moments in some bigger plan. Years mean nothing, to the smiling man.
The machinations hatching in his brain will one day flee his grizzled skull, a bane upon the world, a curse, a seething blight-- he'll go not gentle into any night, but steel himself against a paling sun and, smiling, watch the stars die, one by one.

Isen wins -- but good guess, Thea. Diir has my permission to use this poem in any way he sees fit, outside of publishing. If he doesn't think it sucks too much, that is.
