Orion was hunting His figure was daunting In the night a shadow Who brought only sorrow The great hunt following In its midst hounds howling All around hid in dread Behind, trophies laid dead But Atlanta stood proud For vengeance she had vowed She sent rain of arrows Feathered them like sparrows The hunt lord, she had missed For he hid in the mist The mark of the hunter He had placed to hunt her Scared, she searched left and right But he was out of sight She never saw her death His arrow took her last breath Let it be a lesson To seek vengeance, lessens Truer especially Upon a legendary ---

Nothing to see here, just re-posting these for safekeeping: [“Match Masters” LVL 300!](http://community.gemsofwar.com/t/match-masters-lvl-300/565/2) What madness is this, do my eyes not deceive? Yet I see it before me, I can hardly believe! All alone at the top, and true to their name, A guild quite committed to master the game. Their hunger for trophies, the gold that they spend. How far will they go, will their reign never end? So kudos to you, and your level most high. Though I might not catch up, I’ll sure as hell try. 😜 [Diablo 3 Funniest Death](http://community.gemsofwar.com/t/diablo-3-funniest-death/598/4) **Elegy for Asteria** In a land far away from the shores of Krystara Between the angels and demons at war eternal There was a lone wizard, and the last Nephalem Though her power was great, far beyond any mortal Mortality was one thing Asteria could not transcend Like her many foes vanquished, she too would fall The city of Caldeum, oasis amid the harsh desert It was here that she did succumb to a great evil However noble a life, in the end it mattered not The fatal battle, against none other than Belial Her magic overwhelming, victory seemed certain Alas, the hell-lord had in store one more rebuttal With the end of his strength came a final onslaught Through a flood of poison, and his breath most vile Did Asteria meet defeat for the first and last time ---

Alright, let me have a go at this. Just give me a moment to summon my inner-Elwyn. \* _clears throat_ \* * * * A world without reason Without cause or concern A world without purpose But a desire still yearns We fight for the people We fight to take stand We fight to gain rule We fight 'cause we can This world has no purpose But to kill time for free This world’s an illusion And an excuse to match 3 ---

So I’ll try it in English: I got into a battle with Slime Green and destroyer as an enzyme No win, no fun time, just long time. During the fight, I didn’t get any dime The experience was so sublime that I can’t find another rhyme. Express myself in another language is complex. The words that rhyme are not the ones you want.😅 ---

Hilarious attempt though - suspect your English is at least as good as mine really! You’ve inspired me to work on another limerick too! so, which Epic haven’t I done yet
 aha
 _There was a witch as white as snow_ _And a-travelling she did go_ _To a desert so heated_ _She quickly retreated_ _Back north where the icebergs still flow_ * * * She may be an event Epic, but Ice Witch still counts for the Limerick club
 not sure about that darned slime though
 or finding rhymes for Cthyrthyhiryxzx when I do him(it)

I must say, it’s been a very long time since I’ve written any poetry. It’s been a lot more fun than I would have thought! Well, since dinner still has two more hours in the crock pot, let’s get back to my troop series! Who’s excited?! * * * Fear reflected in a dead white eye Enemies flinch at the howling cry None may stand when the pack is nigh Roving through the woods like a war gone by In his grin you see your bravery a lie Raw wild might is heralded high ---

Who’s ready for part 2? Anybody? Well I’m posting it anyway. 😉 * * * “Is this what you want?” a faun called from behind “An eye for an eye will leave everyone blind.” Hornless flinched at her voice, and his plan’s ill turn “Faunessa
” he muttered, “It is not your concern.” “For too long have I waited, but no more delay.” “So I’ll ask you just once to stay out of my way.” “And what if I don’t?” she challenged his bluff He met her coy gaze, and then said with a huff “It’s what they deserve, after all that they’ve done.” “Even my very own father disowned me as son.” “These years I have suffered. My crime? Being born!” “To be freed from judgement I’ll free them from their horns.” Staring down at the tool, he started sawing “You fool.” she began, “This will not change a thing.” “Even should you succeed, inside they’re the same.” “Their bias will grow, and you’ll be to blame.” “I don’t care!” Hornless snapped, “What have I to fear?” “I’ll leave town when it’s done since I’m not welcome here.” A crack filled the air as her hand struck his cheek “You disgrace yourself with this wrath that you seek!” “Welcome or not, it won’t affect how I feel.” “Yet you’d abandon our love like it’s no big deal?” Letting go of his saw, the satyr rose in defeat Against Faunessa’s strong will he could rarely compete “Either way it’s too late, the spell’s coming undone.” “When they realize my scheme I’ll still be on the run.” “The funny thing is, they should be grateful.” “To be rid of the freak once and for all.” She stepped out in front till they were face to face “Then take me with you, we can find our own place.” “A place without prejudice or bigotry.” “Somewhere far away, where it’s just you and me.” What became of these two? My mind’s a bit blurred But know they were happy, of that rest assured Now for a quick moral, then you’d best get to bed It’s what’s inside that counts, not what grows from your head ---
