The Theran Mystique - Volume 7, Issue 1
I Stand Alone - by Vaelyn
-------------------------

Who can say why the water falls?
The marker rests softly on the edge
I wonder if the boot lives in fear
My body stands alone

My senses are too keen today
The pieces do not fit together
I wonder if my thoughts will be made clear
My mind stands alone

Perhaps it is the rain
Wine does not always fill the cup
I wonder if the moon howls in silence
My spirit stands alone

I know only that I dream
There is nothing there for me
I wonder if I am
I stand alone


Tales from the Bottle - by Vaelyn
---------------------------------

We're drinking and we're laughing
at the firebreather fountain and
the sober wisdom falls in short supply.

Arvar's my companion, not a
Sergeant or a Captain, and
he's drinking half of Thera in his mind.

A voice from nowhere whispers twice.
The room, it shows its dizzy side.
My legs don't work. My eyes are blind.
I don't think I'll be feeling right
anytime (soon).

Then the Keeper kills the Legion
and the Mystic comes to see me, but
I'm drunk like Trogm after a fight.

Arvar, my companion, has a
bottle for the masses and we
think it's Iggy's turn to take a bite.

So we stumble and we stagger
through the plains and up the ladders
to where the pyros and the Bar-Igura cry.

The elemental iceballs twice.
The Faction shows its frigid side.
More magic seeds from paradise
I don't think I'll be feeling right
anytime (soon).

We're drinking and we're laughing
at the firebreather fountain and
the sober wisdom falls in short supply.

Arvar's my companion, wants to
find his girl romantic and
he knows she likes him but he wonders why.

The crow of karma calls out twice.
The streets then show their quiet side.
The sun may never fail to rise.
I don't think I'll be feeling right
anytime (soon).
