The melting snow hath graced thee with its dew
Of beauty I cannot speak, for you hath grasped my heart
Thy delicate floral lips, of a deep crimson hue,
But thy thorns of ire rip my soul apart.
Woulds’t thou have me tear my hand to ribbons
If for but a moment I may admire thy scent?
Nay, thy thorns make love forbidden,
And send my heart into misery’s descent.
I weep for the days when winter's cold
Drove you to my loving grasp.
But the snow has melted, and we have grown old,
Our love song dulled to an aching rasp.
My love, a flower, now gone from me,
To a garden of life, where I can never be.

Long-Ears The Mage
Deep in the Hills of Many feet, there lived a family of Lapine warriors, each gifted with incredible strength and dexterity. Swift-Foot, the matriarch, led the clan with pride and cunning, ensuring their survival in the wilds, where society could not reach them. His three sons, Tall-Leap, Wind-Eyes, and Grass-Step, were trained in the ways of the hunter, exploring the plains and forest edge in search of food so that their clan may survive the harsh winter to come.
