Rest in Peace, You True Hero
Tragedy has struck,
A hero has passed.A man whose deeds,
Remain without a rival.Inspiration,
He shall forever act as.Dedication,
He immortally exemplified.Humility,
Call him a paragon of it,
But he would have denied it.Determination,
In the face of danger,
Not once, not twice,
Not even thrice,
But more than can be counted.A hero has passed,
One of strong will,
And yet of a gentle spirit,
An arm always extended to help.An Eagle's majesty,
A lion's courage,
A fox's cunning,
All with a hound's loyalty,His passing,
It is a tragedy.But, let us not mourn him.
Let us not feel sad.
Let us celebrate him.
Celebrate what he accomplished.

Swashbuckling Gentleman Part Two
Two weeks have passed, and Zelsri's clothes finally arrive, much to my disappointment. A large quantity of them(explaining the great delay). I had rather begun to enjoy this free show, but, alas, not all great things are to last.Save for her penchant for nudism, which I highly appreciate(and enjoy). At least it is more comfortable for me to be wearing pants, now.I show her the sights around town. While walking, we meet a friend of mine."Osalnosor, how goes your life," Actrofin, a bemustached half-Bencorian-half-Belgos, says."Hello, Actrofin. I have been quite well," I say."Well, who is your new lady friend," he says, obviously getting...

I must have, accidentaly, come too close to her cubs."Oh, Sorry, Madame Bear," I do declare.She, however, does not relent.We stare at each other for thirty minutes. We battle for twenty hours, honorably, with no clear victor. She, out of respect, bows down and joins forces with me. We walk to my house, and I sleep.

My people are Near-Human, like the Belgos and Ancorians, and, together, our races were the first three in that group, out of the more than dozen now. What distinguishes us from our kin is our hearing. We have bat, dolphin, and elephant genes inserted into our genome, much like the Argow do with hawks, eagles, sharks, and pit vipers; however, we resemble our human kin quite heavily, though with some differences. Our hearing is incredibly sensitive. It would, however, be foolish to assume that loud sounds cause us great pain. On the contrary: we can withstand louder sounds than other races(it would be harder to deafen an elephant than t...

Is for her to be happy.

Why would I want to do that?I've been manipulated, torn, broken.
Why would I do that,
To the person I love most.
Smart and Kind,
Sweet and Pretty,
These describe a lady I know.Strong and Patient,
Considerate and Compassionate,

Though both of us have been through a great deal.

And I want to help her,

The Argow are the result of experiments upon elves and hawks. A prince happened to be there at the time to be affected. With it, the bond between the Argow and birds of prey was born.The Argow were unusual in the fact that the prettiest women in the kingdom of the Argow race were allowed to, and usually did, marry into the royal family. The royal family married nieces, aunts, cousins, double-cousins, or half-siblings. They saw no wrong in doing so.

A lot of my stories I wrote on here were written while I was in my teens. Not only was I full of angst, anxiety, and such, but I was still finding my place in the world.As such, they should not really be taken as representing my views at any particular point in time.I am very liberal. I do not judge, but I also don't advocate any sort of reprehensible sexual behavior.I will not take down my old works, but I do have parts of them I just feel don't work or just don't like about them.Please keep this in mind.
