Deep Sea Dreamer
By Europa_dragontear

Snowy hair, cerulean skin,
Eyes of azure alight,
Pure of heart, throughout and within,
Untainted by the call of night.

Under the waves, the bright ocean seer,
Peace and beauty in her soul,
Mystic protector, deep sea dreamer,
Hopeful about the world she beholds.

Scarblade's bane and Garin's savior,
Free spirit of the deep, deep blue,
Defiant in the face of danger,
Herself alone she answers to.

Once a sister, once a twin
Of Caylis, banished for her crime,
A rift torn deep between the kin
That slowly heals with passing time.

Maraquan hero, brave and kind,
Beloved by all who see her,
Good of heart and strong of mind,
Isca, deep sea dreamer.

Ode to a Coin
By Moonsteer

O, dubloon, my dubloon,
Thou art chinked and art old,
But I still crave your boon,
And thou fastest art sold.

Many trips to the shrine
Of the Coltzan nabob,
Can't pay up for a dine
In the exquisite club;

I've been rowing aghast
In the present and past
Among mines full of blast
Which are moving so fast;

I've been swabbing the deck
Among canons and sail,
Leaving no tiny speck
Almost busting my tail;

Plucking pegs from the map
Of the ancient Pawkeet
I could fathom no gap
And no coins clinking sweet.

...

So how indeed in seas of kelp
With your location's mystery,
Can I, sans wizard's shopping help
Get my pets through Academy?

Faerieland
By Songful

On gilded clouds the city lies
Where stories die and tales arise,
And all that springs is clear and fair
Where beauty thrives and pure is air.


Of bygone days the songs here tell
Where fables rove and faeries dwell,
Of golden days and springs in bloom
Where clear is night and flowers loom.

And yet not far beyond the grounds
A menace floats, a hazard frowns,
For far among the pits of gloom
A faerie plots her schemes of doom.

Revenge she plans with bitter soul
To bring Fyora to her fall;
The Queen once marked with lavish crown
Will watch her city swirling down.

Ballad for the Space Fungus
By _Strabo_

Drifting, quiet through the deep of space,
Pondering the fate of a planet's race,
Traces of sadness on the three-eyed face
Of a baby space fungus.

Little more than a falling spore,
Thrown from the caves of some waterless shore,
And across the void to land, unsure,
On an earth with a hairy green head.

There to tunnel deep below,
And there beneath the loam to grow,
Reaching tentacles with progress slow,
Expanding through the rich, dark soil.

And growing smarter every minute,
Growing stronger every hour,
When it finally emerges,
Backed with knowledge, size and power,

It shall rise, a mighty leader;
Rise within a single day,
And rule us with intent unswerving,
Though good or evil, time will say.

Faerie Nights
By Charlottenoyen

I see you, Lady of the Purple Cloud,
See how slyly you enshroud
Evil upon evil in the hustle of the crowd,
Always cunning, always proud.
I see you, Lady of the Purple Cloud.

I hear you, Lady, in the Darkest Night,
Smiling by the candlelight,
Malice ever simmering, rejoicing in your spite.
You my black and I your white.
I hear you, Lady, in the Darkest Night.

I sense you, Lady of my Blackest Dream,
Sense your evil, sense your scheme.
Every night I sense you
#00cc99 Like the coldness of the stream
In nightmares, where your minions scream.
I sense you, Lady of my Blackest Dream.

I'll find you, Lady with the Heart Untrue,
Search for you each day anew,
Search for you and battle you until I can subdue
The evil that through your will grew.
I'll find you, Lady, like you always knew.

Illusen will come for you.
