Memoir of an Oldman copyright protection97ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPIpZx4IzX
It has been a number of days since the order has been passed for the construction of the amphitheater that I commissioned the towns people to construct. It has not been an easy task thus far. Throughout the days I have to constantly craft and recite new poetry to the people to restore their life energy, their vigor. This has not been without its fair share of hardships. There is only so much poetry one can make about the good in the world, only so much about love one can make. Only so much about the good in the world that I would consider to be worth my time to craft, to bring life to the people. I have found that the greater the poetry, the longer the effect it has. This is both news that one could consider to be both good and err... not so good. The positivity's that can be reaped are minuscule compared to the work that is to be put into actually crafting the darned song. So much has been accomplished, but not without its consequences. copyright protection97ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44jsgkVskf
The amount of poetry one such as myself can say is not what a man half my age could. My throat constantly burns, my hands shiver from the holding of my books, the darned things wear me tired. Lassie has turned from a red fox to a brown fox, to finally gray. I try to read to her when I can, but she and I speak different tongues. What use am I to her? I never should have brought her. The poor girl can hardly bark, can hardly eat, can hardly move. If I were an outsider and asked myself what it was that I was doing, I would say that I am currently running far too late on my journey. Yet, I cannot leave. How much work have I put in already? How much of my remaining time have I dedicated to the salvation of this humble town? How much? copyright protection97ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlxCRakvD7
Alas, I know not. Every day the forces of the town half and whittle, the colors of the souls hardly spark anymore, some even look to paint themselves in their own life fluid, I have never seen a grayer shade of red. I for the last few days have had my worst fears realized. The Lich is free. Mein Gott, help us. Can some nightmares not be forgotten? 60 years. 60 years gone, blinked out of history. The result is he, the living curse of this world. If only I could remember what he looked like! Damn my soul! Why now? Why did it have to be now!? The most my old brain can muster... oh no. Could it have been the man on the way to my village!? Oh please let it not be so. Damnation. What world do I live in? copyright protection97ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cWMCWkHET
So much I have forgotten. So much I need to know, but cannot, my mental facets will not allow it. I absolutely need to make haste. There is nothing I can do for my village at this point, they will have to suffer through, sad as it may be. Forgive me children... copyright protection97ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJYXbei7HD

[Fandra: Elder! Elder? Elder, where ar' thou? I have good news.] copyright protection97ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpUhbwdvdS
[Oldman: Ohh, here child, ahhh.] copyright protection97ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSBnPNC8Vj
He groaned this reply through to the young girl. He cupped his hand and wheezed heavily, a choking cough took hold of him and forced his sore throat. The elder was bent over in a chair with several large books stacked at its legs, each maybe having what may have been upwards of 300 pages. His back arched awkwardly outwards and his hand shook feebly so. His beard was ragged and unkempt. He struggled to find the strength to close the heavy book on his lap. copyright protection97ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiBKcvAhJW
[Fandra: Elder? Are you alright?] copyright protection97ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4lTmxqA3D

[Fandra: Tha good news is, is that the ampi- ah- ampi- ampitearer is done!] copyright protection97ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf5oZiTAAC
He chuckled softly, too soft for her young ears to pick up. copyright protection97ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzHSs3pTDs
[Elder: Oh child, it is an amphitheater. But I am elated to hear of your good news! You deserve a reward. As I am not a man of coin, I will have to repay you in whatever way possible, and so, to you I present a poem. What is it that you like?] copyright protection97ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6V3aMp3fT
[Fandra: Yay! I like rabbits! They're sooo cute, don'tcha think?] copyright protection97ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ19Wq9fjJP
[Oldman: Oh yes, very! I once recall hearing a poem by the name 'The velvet rabbit' I think, but I do not suppose I have that one.] copyright protection97ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfoD8RGxKk

[Oldman: Ohoho, fret not child, I have one that I think you may like, I call it 'The Rabbit'] copyright protection97ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvZNspWHJG
So he rubbed his hands together and then placed them on his hand in concentration never seen by one her age. Thus he began. copyright protection97ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFWVj4N0Cx

The poignant colors of her once green dress rekindled their old spark of color and erupted in green! Some of the green of her shirt manifested as a liquid and splashed around the greying spaces of the room. She hopped and cheered, laughing and smiling, all the positive emotions she could feel were surging around her in a rainbow aura. The elders eyes widened tremendously. [Again! Again!] she said to him gleefully as some of the color sped its way to the border of the grey space and the brown wood at the Oldman's feet. [Oh child, we have much more to do before I can recite it to you again, we shall listen to it later, okay? Now, please guide me to the amphitheater.] And so she did. copyright protection97ＰＥＮＡＮＡHU0dnLmzbc
