Like a shadow, like a breeze Here comes the vampire hunter Staking her enemies with ease Releasing their souls forever The name is known across the lands Whispered like danger: Avina But people just can’t comprehend Why she befriended Sapphira! ---

There was a lady by the name of Atlanta Who was often the subject of banter She had both the beauty And a bow that was shooty To win all her bouts at a canter * * * Hehe, limericks ahoy… if I get lots of likes, I may try for a full set of Epicks Limericks 😄 ---

There once was a goblin from Zaejin With a fondness to run in the nude Though the guards would give chase 'twas a futile race Extra turns allowed him to elude 😳 * * * Watch where you step, or it could be your last And you’d best heed this warning my friends Lest you get petrified, that is, turned to stone Terraxis has lost his last contact lens ---

😔 * * * The battlefield, littered with the bones of the fallen Just who were these lives, ended so prematurely Left to rot, skulls picked clean and bleached by sun As new wars are fought atop their makeshift graves Amid the mana, even in death they shall find no peace Their souls collected, conscripted, and corrupted I can not help but wonder, will this too be my fate Should I one day suffer defeat at the blade of another ---

😐 * * * Come sit for a while and I’ll tell you the tale Of a hornless satyr that once lived in Pan’s Vale As a youth, it is said, he was quite the crack shot But when his body grew out, the horns they did not Though skilled with a bow, far surpassing his peers All their teasing and taunting haunted him for years You see, to satyrs, lesser horns made one weak And to lack them at all labelled you as a freak Thus shunned did he live, until one fateful day Hornless had enough, he would make them all pay Donning cape and hood, quite the task for his kin He stole into the night, his sights set on Zaejin For hours he travelled by light of the moon Every thought on the vengeance he’d deliver soon Now in a village, the satyr deigned to stay At what they called an inn, just a roof and some hay As morning came 'round, 'twas their market he sought A rusty bone saw and potion what he bought His errand complete, he was ready to leave When from a dark alley came a young goblin thief It raced past Hornless as it pilfered the loot But the satyr turned back, his bow ready to shoot The arrow soon flew with great accuracy Dropping the robber with a shot to the knee Reclaiming his prize, he took off once again Lest he run afoul of another goblin Now back on the road with the path crystal clear Before long his brethren would lose all they held dear His home within reach, a hamlet in the valley We’re also in sight of the end of this story Approaching the well, he peered down its small shaft Then took out the elixir, a strong sleeping draft As to what happened next, you can probably tell All the satyrs that drank, to deep slumber they fell His saw at the ready, with sadistic glee Hornless whispered, “When you wake, you’ll be just like me.” ---
