The Story so far
Once upon a time
There was a woman by the
Name of Rachael Linn

She was very poor
but one day her life was changed
very drastically...

Swirling mists of time
They took her through the ages
Back to ancient worlds

Kings had called her name
Seeking guidance, gathered thoughts
Knowledge from our world

the king said to her
that there was a war with the
neighboring countries

he wanted her to
give him technology from
her time period

"Nay," was her response
For all's fair in love and war
Victory for the brave

Help him though, she did
Gave counsel, wise as Elders
Towards victory dawning

for many months the
war raged on and her council
helped tremendously

but the king was not
satisfied with the small bit
of help that she was

He demanded that
she give him what he asked for
or else be punished

"Riches I have not
Beyond your towering wishes
Lies but a peasant"

"Your heart is quick fire
It blazes an inferno
To kingdoms' ashes."

"it would be folly
to meet these demands they are
the will of madmen"

"your country would die
if I were to do these things
end of the world"



Btw: for those of you who never learned about haikus, a haiku is form of poetry that originates from japan, and what makes it special is that it consists of 3 lines. The 1st line has exactly 5 syllables, the 2nd exactly 7, and the 3rd exactly 5

If you've ever played the "talk in haikus" or the "3 word story" games then this is a combination of the two. We're going to write a story that is done in haiku. Every post must be a haiku, and you are allowed to post up to 5 in one post. I'll begin

I replied to the Tavern~
And I love that you're being so awesomely active. Gold star for you <3

I was a little unsure about making the tavern. That thread has tanked on other sites due to lack of plot, but I was hoping. And I posted in it again

Actually, I think it'll do well here, if more people join. Tbh, I was thinking of starting something like that, but never got around to doing it. I'm glad you did, though. I'll check it now :3

Cool. Do you know of anyone else who might be interested in joining it? And btw, when do you plan on starting the first battle tournament?

Haha, some of the crew members, at least, might join this one and the tavern. Maybe wait a few hours, until peak posting time?
The Battle Tournament starts on the first of June. It'll be in the next Guild Newsletter. Glad to see some interest~

I saw the battle subforum and I had to check it out. It seemed pretty interesting, and I'd love to be able to pit myself up against somebody in rp and see how well I stand up to them.

A drip. A drop.
A tear. A sneer.
The rain raged outside.

They were the men of king
Robust, as their hearts
Would never allow rebellion.

A chain. A jingle. A curious chime.
The rhythm of the fiddle.
Why would they sound the same ?


Sorry, for dropping right in. Couldnt resist.

Lady, you're no commoner
Saviour descended"

Hark! An eternity, too
Much of this bloodshed."

Too bad I'm barred from ever joining, because I'd love to, as well.

The woman became
confused by his words and asked
"what is it you mean?"

well, we could always try going at it, even if you can't enter the tourney

I'd love it if more people would just drop in, I'd just prefer it if your posts were haiku
