Gems or Four  
Poem by Gojinku

If there was gem could their be four?  
If it was a skull could I find more?  
What we want to win,  
What card makes us grin.  
As we break through levels to the next door.  
As we beat our enemies to the floor.  
We can be the ones to win,  
As we take our new team for a spin.  
We all want to be ranked number one in Gems of War.

My entry for the ps4 contest.

Following this, if anyone wants to use the mockup creator to visualise or demonstrate their visual troop ideas or troop art they’re welcome to use it. All the art work in the creator is from in-game anyways, so it’s not like I actually hold any rights to it 😛

I am entering a short story for Gems of War.

This is a story about an actual Gems of War player finding himself trapped in the world of Krystara.  
I had to borrow @Sirrian’s name in the story. Wonder if that’s ok?

So far I have chapter 1 finished. I will be updating new chapters if I have time.  
As thing stands, I am planning five or six chapters, culminating with the confrontation of Sheggra.  
Hopefully I can finish this in time. No promises.

The Ice Flow  
By Vangor

One may say the world is cold  
But if i may be so bold  
I would like to disagree  
And see this story again be told

On the peaks the kingdom sat  
Overlooking the realm of Crimson Bat  
Was the castle made of ice  
Governed by the frozen autocrat

She loved only the bleak and drab  
Into her soul the ice would stab  
Until the world was cold and bleak  
And all would fear the name of Mab

Now here our story takes a turn  
The heros heart began to burn  
Cold and oppression he would fight  
In hopes that freedom would return

To help him on his difficult quest  
Our hero was joined by the best  
And from Whitehelm they began  
And rode their horses north and west

The hero’s name was Priest Vangor  
To allies health he would add more  
He carried the Staff of St. Astra  
He was the leader of the four

Mercy was the angel’s name  
With mana colors she played a game  
Transforming purple to yellow  
And empowered brought her much fame

With them the templar would ride  
A shield wall he could provide  
The armor of his friends increased  
When he was fighting on their side

Gard’s Avatar would blaze a path  
Through any who incurred his wrath  
He also sought to tame the Queen  
Because she was a psychopath

The long road to the Queen  
Brought them near where Dwarves were seen  
And in Khaziel they were equipped  
With armor strong and edges keen

Once they arrived at Glacial Peaks  
They felt the cold upon their cheeks  
They knew to achieve victory  
They must employ their techniques

The Queen would have a team as well  
And they drove forth with a yell  
To meet the hero in combat  
And send them all straight to hell

Emperor Korvash had lots of fun  
by draining mana and causing stun  
He could hit two at once  
And deal true damage until his foes are done

The Valkyrie would be there too  
And she can gather souls for you  
But thats not what makes her strong  
She changes any color to blue

Justice is a guardian  
And with her Mab could win  
Looping and boosting is what she does  
And that was cause for Mab to grin

Mab herself would fight in turn  
And she can cause mana burn  
When she matches four or five  
A frozen status her enemies earn

An epic battle then took place  
The two teams stood face to face  
For many hours they would fight  
Because defeat would mean disgrace

In the end Vangor prevailed  
Mab was dead and her team jailed  
Although it came at a price  
For Mercy’s death the people wailed

Vangor was crowned that very night  
Gard’s Avatar sat on Vangor’s right  
And the kingdom’s defense  
Was the charge of the Templar Knight

The people loved their new king  
All his praise they would sing  
Because Vangor’s favorite thing to say  
Was simply put “let freedom ring”

The End

I’m surprised there isn’t more artwork in here. I’m a terrible artist, so I’ve got my excuse. But I _know_ there are some good artists up in here! Is everyone quietly submitting them to @Saltypatra so there’s a big reveal?

Typically the bigger the better. If you want a super easy option I’d recomend using @Ozball’s [Troop Creator](http://community.gemsofwar.com/t/troop-mockup-creator/22496?source_topic_id=24134)

THAT MEANS MORE COMPETITION… 😢

I am joking of course and have been loving all of the entries so far myself.  
My parody is almost complete, will post soon. And I suppose @Saltypatra I have a question about the viability of my FanFic [Finnigan Hinklebolt: Apprentice… Ordinaire](http://community.gemsofwar.com/t/finnigan-hinklebolt-apprentice-ordinaire-a-gow-fan-fiction/23864) being eligible? I was uncertain as it is being written/released in a serial format.

Thanks for getting back to me…
