Mystery of the Hidden Shrine
Цитата
Last night I awoke from the strangest of dreams
A wandering soul appeared to me at Twilight’s blurry seams
Telling me of its long journey across a barren Void
Seeking friendly ear for his stories to be told!
Summoned into battle, well-trained for war,
They left their underground cities for lands well afar,
Looking for the secrets hidden beyond their world’s shell,
They must free a city from a succubus’ vile spell
They visit White Wolf and the Black Ridge,
Journey through marsh and hills, crossing many a bridge,
They defeat monsters and devils and omens of gloom,
And free a missing King from a fabled Doom.
Usurper! The heroes unseat you and restore freedom’s song!
Gates are finally opened to the stars beyond,
The truth shall be revealed when seen through the lost Eye,
For our world was hollow, and now we have touched the sky!
Герои пересекли только один мост, насколько я помню) Неба коснулись не герои, а некий товарищ, нашкарябавший надпись (не, я понимаю, что эта фраза отсылка сами-понимаете-куда), но все-таки.
Portal to a Distant Star
Цитата
They journey to a land that was distant and forbidden
Where Elementals war since the age of legend,
They begin their quest guided by a ghost,
Looking for the name of a winged and bridled host.
Again fantastic adventures await,
As they enter the world through the Middle Gate,
The Usurper’s threat ever present in their mind,
The lost crown and talons they eventually find.
Alas, their journey takes them to the edge of reason,
They fight the Dragon in a past season,
Finally they enter the realms of the Elements,
And reunite the ghost with his lost remnants

A Passage through the Isles
Цитата
From the corners of the misty Void rings loud the battle cry,
The Elemental Lords of four have sworn to fight and die,
Fire, Water, Air and Earth meet their might and force,
And in their battles bloody mire give our land its source.
Then descended on the land the forces of the Dome
To lend into the mortal hand a power before unknown.
Five Forces, two champions forged by their quintet,
A tale most tragic for Elemental beasts when met.
Descending from the sky, the nacelles finally land,
But they have lost their way, ‘tis the Usurper’s hand.
By new heroes defeated, and the Balance restored,
Once a Guardian, fallen, he escapes through the Void
ЛотА? В моих Майнт-н-Мэджиках?
Крон не затерялся, фраза про затопление осталась из древней изначальной версии ММ3
Clouds
Цитата
A world split in two: one of Clouds, one of Night,
A prophesied day will come when they reunite,
Beware! For as shooting stars in the night sky burn,
Death hides behind a long-lost prince’s return.
As the masked Lord of the Dead causes more division,
From his prison a Wiseman sends Heroes a vision,
To forge the Sword that can kill a death unmade,
And find the only men that could make such a blade.
Alas! The Dead Lord strikes! The castle is no more!
Our Heroes set on a journey to gather lost lore.
Through blood and tear, brick and then steel,
They deliver their land of Light from under the Dead Lord’s heel
Герои не ковали меч-ксинобой, его сделали приключенцы Ньюкастла еще до начала «Облаков». Про лорда Ксина-нежить уже говорили
Darkside
Цитата
The Deadlord is destroyed, his fortress falls asunder,
But a sinister laugh steals the victory’s last thunder,
”Fools, it was only my puppet, you have been cheated.”
From the Darkside the true evil remains undefeated.
The Prophecy is coming to its end,
The division into two parts will soon mend,
In his pyramid the Guardian is forced to hide,
And so the Usurper may rule with hands untied.
The Heroes find a friend, Evil’s enemy of old,
Together they march on the dark stronghold.
The battle begins; the champion makes his choice,
Evil is destroyed at last and two worlds rejoice.\n
The Divine Right
Цитата
From the depths of the Void came their forefathers’ rival,
Travelling through the stars and no one knows why,
They came to this world to rain down destruction.
It’s said that fighting them is a Divine construction.
A cult appears, spreading the Devils’ lies.
Rescued from certain doom, Heroes shall rise.
Betrayal, chaos and deceit give them fight.
They answer with steel, ruse and true might.
Seeking help from all the lords of the realm,
Of the great counter offensive they take the helm,
They destroy Evil’s hive, free the land from its stain,
To christen their triumph a dark prince they unchain
For Kin and Glory
Цитата
Treasure seekers they once were, now restless Lords,
Protecting their lands with axes, spears and swords,
For they rule a much-contested region,
On which both Men and Elves seek dominion.
Who would you choose? With whom would you ally?
Who would you pick to look on with arbitrator’s eye?
Would you serve Darkness, Death, and Ambition,
Or be a companion to Light’s sacred expedition?
Heroes, no longer friends, from long ago and far away return.
They struggle and fight, making kingdoms their pawns.
But the new Lords shall choose how to end the war,
In the Forge or at the Gate, a new power is born
Night of the Destroyer
Цитата
The Destroyer is here, planning a world’s doom,
Power tingles through his fingers like threads in a loom.
Shackling the Elements to his iron will,
This mission of death he intends to fulfil.
Unexpected champions rise to thwart the threat,
Undead, Beastmen, Monsters; the danger is met,
They forge alliances; grow in fame and power,
It will not be long before the heroes claim their hour.
Of Dragons, Hunters, Bullmen and Necromants,
This coalition, has inspired many chants,
Priests of Sun and Moon, whether becoming friend or foe.
Saved their whole world from oblivion and woe
Decree of Destiny
Цитата
The Gods have spoken, a decree was signed,
The fates and prophets didn’t seem to mind,
They’d put a conqueror on the path of war.
And so began their journey, a simple party of four.
A group of raiders, to ordained Destiny blind,
The hordes marched on! Would our champions suffice?
To unite their clans against such wicked device.
Thwarting the vile progress of well planned invasion,
There are Gods without love for any mortal persuasion.
And challenging heaven comes not without price...(The rest is a collection of notes and scribbles, sometimes crossed-out. Although promising, this poem was clearly a work in progress.)
Странно, почему пятистишия? И почему девятка не дописана?
