《When It Rains, It Pours》Mora
Advertisement
A voice of thunder
Passionately enthralled
Thrummed across a cloudless sky
I am the spirit of this earth
In a body unchained
Disquieted with memories
Its visions were desperate
Its feelings
Anxious
Hard to control
The aching and the sorrow of its essence
Slowly ravished
Then devoured and fled
Now it haunts me
Here in this place
With sanctuary hard to come by
No peace I find
Only the emptiness
Of what once was
And what in hope shall be reborn
When the winds of the east blow
Changes will come
Seasons out of time
Summer's snow
Autumn reborn
Winter's growth
Sleep to Spring comes
The great mother shakes
Fires and floods to cleanse her soul
All sentience quakes
Prophecy, phantasm or prediction
Words they find me
And on this night
Displace the dreams
Once passionate causes
Long ago abandoned
Now call for their conclusion
A tempest to be reforged
Reborn in steel
With a righteous vengeance to yield
Strength I find in their touch
A rush I feel in my blood
Look within all
Look within
They're calling
Beseeching
For here is the beginning
And the end
And all that has come before
And all that will be sure to come again
The cycle will wheel ever onward
Even without one as myself for witness
An Angel rebukes
Woeful of tone
Without hope there can be no love
Without love there can be no peace
Without peace there can be no future
Without the future there can be no hope
So it goes
So it goes
The lady's web is almost complete
The stars in the heavens scream to be seen
Yet night falls and no one is there to greet them
Some entranced by celebrity
Others by images obscene
Some can't even know they exist
Blinded by the light ever present around their concrete walls
Where has all the wonder gone
When did chivalry die
It's just sleeping
Within all
Within
Can't you hear it calling
Or am I the only one to dare this madness

Doctored Chance: The Unpleasant Preceding of "Pajama Boy" and What Drove Him to Murder
I, Mick Chadwick, regret to inform my readers that this memoir contains nothing but the truth, which in the case of Tobias MacClain, most ridiculed as Pajama Boy, is far from pleasant. If you seek to relate to a hero more than to aspire to them and have the stomach for unpleasant things such as a hero left for dead, villainous scars, bomb threats, and murderous intent, then look no further. All of these gruesome things and more await from my research, and though I do not wish them on any man or woman, I cannot bear this burden on my own much longer. In the words of Tobias MacClain himself, "Sometimes, a villainous act can cause the greatest good." I hope that all my villainous acts of sneaking, blackmailing, diary-reading, and grave-digging, among others, will be redeemed as I present this complete and truthful memoir to the world, and with any luck, open eyes to the truth of what we call "villainy". Doctored Chance: The Unpleasant Preceding of "Pajama Boy" and What Drove Him to Murder ********* MATURE FILTER IS FOR:- violence- graphic imagery (blood, burns, fairly dark headspaces)- cartoon depiction of burn scars for visual aid Despite graphics, Mick Chadwick's writing keeps Mr. MacClain's terrible tale light somehow. This is foremostly a comedy.

Braza the Architect - Magical Crafter, Builder, and Adventurer!
This is the story of an older man who lived a hard but full life, being reincarnated into a fantasy world as a human-lizard hybrid. The new world is violent, magic is real, a game-like development system crushes physics and natural law under its ambivalent thumb, and myth and legend don't just meet, they chase you down to eat you.Follow Braza as he tries to make a very different life for himself in a familiar but ultimately alien world. In this story the protaginist will not just be a muscle bound monster. He is not a proper hero, willing to sacrifice himself for the good of a stranger, but neither is he a maniacal villain. He is trying to survive, and he is trying to give himself and those he deems himself responsible for a seat at the table of the"goodly", the "civilized" races. He is trying to create a secure home for his people, to arrange beneficial trade agreements, explore ancient ruins, decipher ancient runes, push the boundaries of magic to create a better life for everyone around him, to learn about the history of the world and the multiverse, and ultimately attempt to become powerful enough to take on a being that even the gods themselves fear. This is my first story and it blends many different elements and styles. It's a bit darker than most of what I have read on Royal Road, but even with that, I hope you give it a try, and I hope you like it!
