"Echoes of the Forgotten Realm"Chapter I
"A Tale of Shadows and Light"
Chapter I: The Shattered Crown
Beneath the skies of crimson dusk,
Where stars lie veiled in ancient musk,
A kingdom slept in whispered grief,
Its heart undone by a stolen thief.
The throne of gold, now cracked and bare,
Once held a queen with raven hair.
Her crown, the light of realms untold,
Was forged in flames of runes and gold.
But shadows crept on midnight's tide,
A specter cloaked where secrets hide.
With silent hands, it seized the jewel,
And left the kingdom dark and cruel.
The forest wept in hollow sighs,
The rivers froze beneath the skies.
No larks sang songs, no wolves did prowl,
Only silence, cold and foul.
Yet deep within the cursed land,
A child rose with fire in hand.
Her eyes of amber, sharp and keen,
Saw truth within the haunted sheen.
A voice from whispers, soft and near,
Spoke of hope through fractured fear.
"Seek the vale where shadows blend,
And find the crown where worlds ascend."
The child set forth, her heart ablaze,
Through thorn-clad paths and twilight haze.
For though the darkness sought her still,
Her spirit bent not to its will.

How Can You Have A Highly Sought Out Life for Yourself and Your Hobbies
When we think of our lives and what they have in them, what happens? Do we think that they are highly sought out for ourselves when we start living by doing the hobbies that we enjoy? Most of the time, yes. Our lives are highly sought out because we figure out what we want to do with it, and go after it. Once we get to where we want to be in life how do we look at it? What is it that we do? We look at it as the things we do in life are the things that make our lives what they are. It is all about how we work and put our downtime together at least that is how I like to look at it. Sure we might work ten ten to 12 hours a day but what about when we aren’t working on weekends, we don’t just do yard work and laundry we do other things to keep us busy too. These things are called hobbies, and we put them into our lives so that we live the best lives that we can. This is how highly sought out lives can be given to each and every one of us.

The Dryads are Calling
They say the forest by Phoenix River sings. Perhaps it is just the wind howling through the leaves, or a particular birdsong. But Percy Fisher knows better; he knows what lies in those woods, and he knows that the forest sings of his demise.
