Jay sailed abroad just as the men did, as they jested with her, Seaworthy, she was. But sustaining her on the ship was bad luck as everyone knows Though everyone knew her crew consisted of men She was the strongest aboard and luck had nothing to do with their victories Her crew was well-trained And they all expected no less than victory. The waves warned the wayward crew of storms a ways away Though storms did not frighten them these fierce men would soon have something to fear For a storm was not stirring the water. But a monster, of miraculous size, with malicious, unwelcoming fangs Awaited their arrival, as they approached a small uninhabited island. They knew not of it’s lurking until they were near, and it was too late. It tipped the boat the crew tumbling off, and flying into the air. Jay held onto a piece of the deck her ship destroyed, the crew desperate. She began to paddle towards the island in an attempt to save her own life Her crew followed, but the creature caught them Her crew cried out for help as the creature consumed them. She was soon washed up on the sand She had no where to go with no ship. Jay wandered the coast her long hours of isolation from society paid off A few years later a ship passed by Jay acquired the crews attention. She was welcomed aboard where she shared her stories with the crew Over her lonely, laborious years she learned many new lessons and skills She had grown stronger and wiser without her wayward crew she realized Pain she had never felt before But her beliefs had been torn and she didn’t believe in herself any more how could she after she was responsible for the loss of her crew for the captain is the cause of all the crews troubles Or that’s what she convinced herself was true Her years of loneliness gave her many tales tales of monsters, tales of terrible treasure, of her truth All of her stories told of treasure, but she had not one coin of gold on her She stated the curses placed upon the hoards If not curses then monsters Monsters who guarded the fortune Of course the crew wanted the treasure They could not be stopped but she warned that she would not help She had befriended the monsters and would not partake in her friends’ demise “Witch” they wailed and laughed they only said this because they thought she was lying She frowned at the word, ‘witch’ she had not done anything was her woe not enough to gain any sympathy from the filthy men who forgot that Jay was there they left her behind She bit her lip cursed under her cold breath All those years from another human being now she was aware of how she hated the humans so She was going to live without them now She was going to rid of the now unwanted guest The crew of filthy fiends Creeping closely behind her soon-to-be victims She smiled, something she rarely did. Her teeth were sharp after having to adapt to the island she plotted the crew’s quietus watching them camp outside of a cave Inhabited by her enigmatic friend He was a dragon of Eastern descent Being born in the East He wasn’t the fighting type His treasure was not shiny His hoard was almost twice the value of any amount of gold in the world His valuables didn’t take up any space His most prized possessions though were pale, dusty and easily broken. What treasure could he be concealing in his cavern, cold and eerie It wasn’t the treasure the barbaric brutes craved The treasure was far beyond their comprehension Jay had to warn her friend Kaji was his name She snuck into his lair She spoke quickly and quietly to him He devised a devious departure Little did they know The vulgar fools had been eaves-dropping They intended to intervene their escapade. Midnight was when Jay and Kaji would make their escape The two waited until they believed the imbeciles were asleep. Kaji began to sneak silently from the cave Jay was close behind Suddenly Kaji jerked back the saboteurs startled Kaji They shoved sword at him Shouted and screamed to scare him Kaji had no defense He turned to Jay Who believed they were done for Kaji quickly ran back towards Jay, picking her up in his talons taking off into the dark blue sky. The foes cheered over a victory that’s what they thought it was anyways Kaji and Jay headed to their ship sabotaging it, sinking it into the ocean Meanwhile the slanderers stormed the shelter finding what they considered trash His sanctuary was heaven for a man of knowledge for it was full of books and other sources for information. His only treasure was knowledge which he had plenty of most not in his books but remembered by Kaji himself. The fiends had chosen the wrong cave to invade that night Only a few miles away was a tunnel full of gold but guarded by a fierce dragon whom was ready to kill any intruders So maybe they were smart to choose Kaji’s cave But now they were trapped on the island Kaji and Jay watched them carefully And over the years they were happy Kaji had great knowledge Kaji even knew magic of some sort His magic gave Jay someone to be there for her Jay was happy on that island and with Kaji she lived forever Seaworthy, she was. But sustaining her on the ship was bad luck as everyone knows.

Epic Poem by HaydenB-CMS
In a time of bloody war and long battles There was a superior leader named Raguoc He had his own army of the greatest warriors The army fought ferociously for family This army's messenger heard in the city That an army was angry with them Raguoc knew this was his rival, Rof Raguoc and Rof had been rivals ever since Rof was thrown out of the kingdom when Raguoc caught him stealing Raguoc knew Rof would come fast and be aggressive Raguoc began to train harder than ever before The messenger then heard that Rof would arrive At dusk the next day Raguoc's army began to prepare for battle The trees started to form pictures of Rof's army Rof had many of the biggest and baddest monsters As Rof's army got closer the animals ran away and plants began to die You could feel the evil in the air as they drew closer Raguoc ordered his army to bed so they would have strength to fight The army woke the next morning to the sound of Rof's horns blowing His warriors quickly put on their battle armor Raguoc got a violent look in his eyes The two armies lined up adjacent to each other A storm of bees versus a mob of hornets There was fighting everywhere Then Raguoc met with Rof This would be a one-on-one battle They were standing on a rockud Both were slashing and stabbing Raguoc knew if he won this fight his army would win the battle Then Raguoc slipped on the rockud He was lying on his back with Rof above him Rog swung his blade down violently But at the last second Raguoc slid aside Then Raguoc put a fatal blow on Rof With Rof dead his army weakened severely Raguoc's army felt this and reacted They put on a final attack more powerful than all others They destroyed Rof's army and became heroes

 * __The Epic Adventure__

In yonder grass the man did lay,His thoughts did fill his head. Dreams of heroes entered his mind, The young boy wished to have the same life as them. To fight as thy, to act as thy, to be like thy, This is what the boy wanted. Thou also felt an unknown threat from what he did not know, But the village would soon be filled with its dread. The sounds of clanking, clashing, and Slashing swords caught his attention. He sprang up like an excited dog, Hungry for its meal. The boy came to look over the edge of his resting hill, And he saw thou’s town burning furiously. Thou walked along the peasants’ roads, Seeing destruction all around him. "What evil people should thou be, burning my Town as such? I will not stand for this; my finest arrow Will pierce the heart of the one behind this cruelty." The young boy collected his last remaining possessions, Crafted the finest bow he had ever seen, and set to finding his arsonist. The night was upon the tiring lad, His journey hadst just begun. Lurking in the bushes a noise he had heard, Quick to react, the man did run. He climbed the tallest hill in sight, He retrieved the bow he had made. He fitted this bow with his finest arrow, And waited for his victim to come into his sight. But not just one single enemy arose, But three dozen just like him. In the front of this hoard stood The leader of them, He knew this to be true for he was taller, bigger, and Stronger than the rest. The boy started to panic, For he knew he could not take them all. "Thou has taken the lives of my good townspeople, and thou will pay for the deeds committed." The boy aimed his finest arrow at The heart of the biggest beast. His fingers let go, The arrow glided through the air, Straight into the heart of the foul creature. The boy readied himself for the unbearable death that The other goblins would bring to him. "Charge!" Cavalry rode in from all directions, Killing all of the unfortunate goblins That came in their path. The goblins were trained, though, and were ready to take on their new enemy. They fought hard and courageously, But the troops were too strong to bear. The troops ended the battle victoriously, For each and every goblin had been killed. "How can this be? I thought that thy had a cruel death ahead of me. How did you know to come here/" "Our messenger had come to your fair town Only to find it destroyed. We concluded that the foul beings behind this Shan’t have gotten far. We then found you and came to your aid." "I can not show enough gratitude to you all For your courageous fighting. How can I show you my thanks?" "You can come with us back to thy’s town And celebrate the victory in which we have just achieved. Knowing we have just saved a life is enough." The group went back to their fair town and celebrated. Not one cup was ever left empty, Not one man had a frown on his face. This was a victory that they would not easily forget.
