Juodas paukštis nekalbėjo – juk varnai nekalba - bet kažką pasakė. Koks žmogiškas tai buvo kontaktas – žvilgsnis, mirktelėjimas, galvos pasukimas. Ir vistik tai buvo ne žmogus, o konteineryje besiknisantis juodbruvas varniūkštis, net nesivarginęs ant jo kranktelti... Kodėl? Kodėl varnas, o ne katinas ar šuo, barsukas ar...&lt;br /&gt;Tokios sujauktos mintys plūdinėjo jo galvoje bevemiant į seną pageltusį klozetą. Pigi užkandinė iš tiesų buvo pigi – suskilę plytelės, varvantis čiaupas ir stiprus kanalizacijos dvokas. Akivaizdu, kad tie, kurie dažniausiai naudojosi baro tualetu (neretai tam pačiam tikslui kaip ir jis) būdavo per girti, kad jiems rūpėtų tokios smulkmenos, taigi savininkas nusprendė nešvaistyti pinigų veltui.&lt;br /&gt;Pats vyras buvo visiškai blaivas, sveikas ir neapnuodytas – kitaip tariant, jam nebuvo jokios priežasties dekoruoti ir taip ne pirmo grožio grindis savo vakariene – tačiau varnas jį sukrėtė tiek, kad jis nebegalėjo nieko padaryti. Blogiausia buvo ta nežinomybė, ta pasąmonės suteikta reikšmė tokiam trivialiam dalykui kaip konteinerio paukštis. Tai jį tiesiog vedė iš proto tuo metu, kai atlinkdavo nuo keramikinio išganytojo, kad įkvėptų kelis skubotus gurkšnius oro.&lt;br /&gt;Po truputį pykinimas atslūgo ir vyras sugebėjo atsistoti. Jautėsi kiek apsvaigęs, bet pakankamai tvirtai stovėjo ant kojų. Priėjęs prie veidrodžio nusiplovė veidą, pliaukštelėjo sau į skruostus ir pasuko atgal į barą. Pro mažytį, ventiliacijai paliktą pravirą langelį jo žvilgsnius sekė blizgiomis juodomis plunksnomis pasidabinęs varnas.&lt;br /&gt;Pravėręs tualeto duris rado barą tuščią ir, savo nustebimui, tylų. Muzikos, kuri grojo anksčiau, kai jis įėjo į barą, nebebuvo – tvyrojo nepatogi tyla. Prie staliuko kampe laikraštį skaitęs senis dabar sėdėjo keistai sukniubęs, galvą padėjęs ant stalo, o barmeno, visąlaik besisukinėjusio už baro, irgi nesimatė. Vyras siaubingai norėjo užrūkyti, ir velniop, kad prieš mėnesį metė – tokia keista naktis leido nusižengti normai.&lt;br /&gt;Jis priėjo prie baro, pamatęs ant kampo gulintį sulamdytą Saint George pakelį, kuris greičiausiai priklausė prie staliuko kampe snaudžiančiam senukui. Betraukdamas cigaretę iš pakelio vyras pamatė, kodėl barmenas nestovėjo už baro. Jis gulėjo sukniubęs šalia virtuvėlės durų ir šypsojosi dviem šypsenomis – viena sustingusi lūpose, o kita – stora, raudona linija slenkanti nuo vienos ausies iki kitos per švariai nuskustą kaklą.&lt;br /&gt;Cigaretės ir žiebtuvėlis iškrito vyrui iš rankų ir jis pats nesuvokdamas pradėjo atbulas trauktis nuo baro. Jį apėmė baimė, tačiau ne panika – per spalvingą gyvenimą buvo matęs įvairiausių dalykų. Galvoje blykstelėjo kibirkštis dėl senio prie kampinio stalo. Pribėgęs prie jo vyras pamatė, kad senis iš tiesų miega, bet jau niekada nepabus – jo nugaroje styrojo didžiulis virtuvinis peilis. Baimės gniaužtai suspaudė stipriau...&lt;br /&gt;Vyras pribėgo prie pagrindinių durų, truktelėjo, stumtelėjo, tačiau jos buvo užrakintos ar net užremtos iš kitos pusės. Iš nusivylimo trenkęs kumščiu į storą durų stiklą apsisuko ir, perlipęs per kraujo klane gulintį barmeną įbėgo į virtuvę.&lt;br /&gt;Virtuvėje tvyrojo tamsa. Lauke siaučianti didžiausia šio pavasario liūtis, nešiojama stipraus vėjo, varvėjo į vidų pro atvirus langus. Žaibui nutvieskus vieną jų balkšvai melsva šviesa, vyras pamatė paukščio siluetą, žiūrintį kas dedasi viduje, tačiau buvo pernelyg sukrėstas šviežesnių įvykių, kad kreiptų į jį daug dėmesio.&lt;br /&gt;Akių aukštyje kabančios keptuvės suskambėjo virtuvės gale. Jis iš pradžių manė, kad tai vėjas, bet netrukus išgirdo ir skambius žingsnius. Tamsoje pasirodė mergina. Ji buvo apsirengusi lengva, pavasarine suknele, kurios spalva buvo priderinta prie vos pečius siekiančių kaštoninių plaukų. Ant jos peties kabojo mažas, bet sunkus rankinukas. Lėtu, vingiuojančiu žingsneliu ji priėjo prie vyro, kuris iš netikėtumo tegalėjo stovėti sustingęs. Paėmusi vyrui už peties ir pasistiebusi, nes nebuvo aukšta, pašnibždėjo į kairiąją ausį:&lt;br /&gt;-Sveikas, nepažįstamasai...&lt;br /&gt;Virtuvę užpildė jos skardus, nuoširdus juokas. Grakščiu judesiu ji užslinko vyrui už nugaros ir padėjusi smakrą ant peties pašnibždėjo į kitą ausį:&lt;br /&gt;-Varnai juk gyvena taip ilgai, ar ne? Savo strėles taupau tik tau...&lt;br /&gt;Jis niekados nebuvo patyręs tokios surakinančios, stingdančios baimės, kokią sukėlė ši mažytė, graži mergina. Kraujuota ranka paėmusi vyro smakrą atsuko jo galvą į save ir pakštelėjo jam į skruostą. Vėl nusijuokė.&lt;br /&gt;-Kartais tiesiog nesijauti savimi, ar ne? Nebijok, dar susitiksim... Gal šiąnakt?&lt;br /&gt;Iš nugaros apkabinus mergina pabučiavo jo kaklą ir apsisukusi išėjo. Tamsoje liko vis dar negalintis pajudėti vyras ir pro langą viską stebintis varnas.&lt;br /&gt;Po kurio laiko atsigaivaliojęs jis rado išėjimą iš virtuvės į gatvę. Lietus dar išverkinėjo paskutines savo dangiško kaprizo ašaras, bet kaip pavasario nakčiai buvo visai šilta. Vyras nusvirduliavo iki savo tamsiai mėlyno automobilio ir visiškai nenustebo, kad ant veidrodėlio jau tupėjo varnas. Jiedu pora minučių įdėmiai žiūrėjo vienas kitam į akis, tada vyras nusisuko, linktelėjęs sumurmėjo, “Gerai, bet man būtinai reikia cigarečių” ir nuvažiavo siauromis, menkai apšviestomis gatvelėmis senamiesčio link...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7636900540271158394-3179523358903217444?l=anoldgrimoire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://anoldgrimoire.blogspot.com/feeds/3179523358903217444/comments/default' title='Rašyti komentarus'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://anoldgrimoire.blogspot.com/2009/05/kas-buvo-pries-suvi.html#comment-form' title='0 Komentarai (-ų)'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7636900540271158394/posts/default/3179523358903217444'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7636900540271158394/posts/default/3179523358903217444'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://anoldgrimoire.blogspot.com/2009/05/kas-buvo-pries-suvi.html' title='Kas buvo prieš šūvį.'/><author><name>Grimoirer Extraordinaire</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05955506615229836237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7636900540271158394.post-5190863516765061459</id><published>2009-05-25T04:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-25T04:43:23.083-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Pykšt</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Pykšt&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Dėl įvairių priežasčių nusprendžiau visko čia neišsakyti, taigi Skaitytojas, tikiuosi, man atleis už neaiškias ar nuslėptas mintis.

Ragelis dzingtelėjo padedamas atgal į laikiklį ir mergina liko stovėti telefono būdelėje, lauke siaučiant baisiausiai šio pavasario liūčiai. Ji nė nesiruošė vykti ten, kur prašė nepažįstamasis skambintojas – kodėl turėtų? Ragelį tepakėlė iš smalsumo stovėdama būdelėje, kur slėpėsi nuo lietaus. Bet vistik... Vistik buvo įdomu. Ir baugu. Tiesa, baugumo jausmą ramino sidabriškai blizgus daiktas, prieš savaitę apsigyvenęs rankinėje, bet šis baugumas buvo kitoks, panašesnis į pigaus siaubo filmo atmosferą – ji žinojo, kad viskas netikra (tačiau ar taip iš tikrųjų buvo niekas, mielas Skaitytojau, net ir dabar negali pasakyti), nes gyvenime tokių dalykų tiesiog nebūna... Iš tikrųjų?&lt;br /&gt;Skaitytojo vėlgi meldžiu atleisti man už neišvengiamą liapsusą (ir, drįstu teigti, didžiausią šio pasakojimo spragą). Skaitytojui turbūt bus juokinga, kaip galima tiesiog pamesti dvi valandas gyvenimo, bet būtent taip čia ir įvyko. Ar jos atminty iš to meto tikrai nieko neliko, ar tai tik nenoras net galvoti apie tas šimtą dvidešimt minučių, aš nežinau ir bijau niekada nežinosiantis. Keliaukime toliau, Skaitytojau, šįkart ir laiku...&lt;br /&gt;Lietus kiek aprimo, tačiau krito švelni migla ir dideli, stori lašai lašėjo nuo medžių šakų, dzingsėdami į senos gatvės grindinį, tarsi norėdami atkartoti jau seniai čia neprarisnojusias arklio kanopas. Ji stovėjo kamputy, pasirėmusi į senos bažnyčios sieną taip, kad matytų gatvę, tačiau pati galėtų tučtuojau pasislėpti, iškilus tokiai būtinybei.&lt;br /&gt;Jos rankos buvo suprakaitavę, sulipę, tačiau lietus jas po truputį plovė savo gaivinančiu bučiniu. Iš to, ir iš sausų plaukų mergina suprato, kad turėjo pastarįjį laiko tarpą praleisti ne lauke, tačiau vistiek nieko nepajėgė prisiminti. Atminė, kad kažko laukia, bet nei vardai, nei veidai nešovė į galvą – pati nežinojo, kas jai neleido tiesiog mesti viską ir bėgti kuo toliau, sugrįžti lovon ir ramiai užmigti. Reikia laukti. Laukti. Ateis...&lt;br /&gt;Senas, tamsiai mėlynas automobilis netrukus pasirodė iš už siauros gatvelės kampo ir lėtai pradėjo slinkti link jos kaip voras link musės, įkliuvusios tinkle. Ir nors mergina nematė vairuotojo veido, žinojo, kad jis būtinai sustos šalia tos vietos, kur ji stovėjo pasislėpusi nuo skvarbių žvilgsnių ir, turbūt, nuo pačios savęs.&lt;br /&gt;Automobilis privažiavęs sustojo kitoje gatvės pusėje, nei tūnojo ji. Vairuotojo veido ji vis dar negalėjo įžiūrėti, tačiau matė vienintelį siluetą – mašinoje daugiau nieko nebuvo. Vyras kurį laiką sėdėjo užgęsinęs variklį, giliuose apmąstymuose, bet netrukus užsidegė cigaretę ir giliai įkvėpė dūmą. Praslinkus dar kelioms minutėms vairuotojas atidarė durelės, prieš tai išmesdamas pro jas nuorūką. Mergina įsitempė, nors jautė, ką turi daryti, užčiupė savy kažkokį naują, lig šiol snaudusį instinktą.&lt;br /&gt;Vyras apsidairė, išlipo iš mašinos ir pasirėmęs į kapotą užsidegė dar vieną cigaretę. Atrodė, kad kažko lūkuriuoja, tačiau turi pakankamai laiko, kad nesijaudintų dėl kelių tuščiai praleistų minučių. Rūkydamas apsižvalgė aplink ir sustabdė žvilgsnį ties mergina, kuri nors ir buvo visiškai pasislėpusi šešėliuose, žinojo, kad nepažįstamasis žvelgia tiesiai į ją. Jo lūpas iškreipė nelinksma šypsena.&lt;br /&gt;Tvykstelėjo dukart. Kaip žaibas, tačiau griaustinį mergina teišgirdo vieną sykį – pirmas šūvis apkurtino tiek, kad antrasis tebuvo lyg pokštelėjimas, atidarant šampano butelį. Ji apsisuko ir bėgo, kol nebegalėjo sugaudyti kvapo. Pro ją slydo medžiai, seni pastatai, kol galų gale aplinkui teliko purvinas upės pakrantės smėlis ir kanalizacija smirdantis rudas, lėtai sruvenantis upės vanduo. Bėgti nebegalėjo. O ir nebuvo daugiau kur. Mergina aiktelėjo, išsigandusi, kad pametė rankinę, bet apsičiuopus rado ją vis dar kabančią ant peties. Žinojo, kad nebegali daugiau nešiotis to daikto su savimi, ypač po to kas atsitiko prie mėlyno automobilio...&lt;br /&gt;Pliaukšt. Upės vandenys prarijo ginklą kaip Kronas savo vaikus – jis nugrimzdo į pačią gilumą, kur dėl šiukšlių ir fekalijų ne tik nesimaudė žmonės, bet ir nebegyveno žuvys. Mergina dar kartą baigščiai apsidairė – krantinė vis dar buvo tuščia. Šiek tiek atgavusi kvapą nebematė prasmės ilgiau čia pasilikti – lėtu, išvargusiu, tačiau vistiek natūraliai grakščiu žingsneliu pasuko atgal miesto link...&lt;br /&gt;Skaitytojui turbūt neįdomu, kaip ji grįžo namo, pėsčiomis, žvalgydamasi į visas puses; kaip drebančiomis rankomis rakino duris; kaip užtemdė langus ir viena sėdėjo virtuvėje besiklausydama garsiai dūzgiančio šaldytuvo; kaip plaudama rankas nudažė raudonai kriauklę... Tačiau galbūt Skaitytojui rūpės, kad pažvelgusi į veidrodį mergina jame pamatė tobulą atvaizdą, ir labai nustebo, nes jautėsi sutepta.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7636900540271158394-5190863516765061459?l=anoldgrimoire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://anoldgrimoire.blogspot.com/feeds/5190863516765061459/comments/default' title='Rašyti komentarus'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://anoldgrimoire.blogspot.com/2009/05/pykst.html#comment-form' title='0 Komentarai (-ų)'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7636900540271158394/posts/default/5190863516765061459'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7636900540271158394/posts/default/5190863516765061459'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://anoldgrimoire.blogspot.com/2009/05/pykst.html' title='Pykšt'/><author><name>Grimoirer Extraordinaire</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05955506615229836237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7636900540271158394.post-1048407426221240245</id><published>2009-05-11T12:12:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-11T12:12:50.629-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Čia</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Čia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tą naktį ji nežinojo kur esanti. Sąmonė sugrįžo kaip aukšta banga iš ramios jūros, įsibėgėjusi atsimušusi į molą ir ji suprato, kad stovi kryžkelėje. Naktis, lietus. Nebuvo aiškus net metų laikas, tačiau iš savo menko apsirengimo ji spėjo, kad greičiausiai ankstyvas ruduo ar vėlyvas pavasaris, bet šios žinios nenuvijo jos sužvarbimo ir, tuo labiau, nesudžiovino permirkusių plaukų.&lt;br /&gt;Žibėjo vienintelis žibintas, kaip švyturys nakties vandenyne, tačiau ne kviečiantis, o greičiau sulaikantis – žengti žingsnį pirmyn ar atgal buvo baugu, kaip mažam laiveliui išplaukti į audros taršomą jūrą. Ir visgi ji žengė. Ne todėl, kad buvo drąsi, greičiau priešingai, iš baimės tapti priklausomai nuo blyškios žibinto šviesos.&lt;br /&gt;Kelias vedė visad pirmyn ir niekados atgal, nes apsisukti reiškė susitikti akis į akį su Persekiotoju. Kas buvo Persekiotojas, ir ar išvis jis egzistavo ji nežinojo. Bet rizika jos mažoje, išsigandusioje galvutėje buvo didelė, neįveikiama pabaisa, taigi liko tik stumtis pirmyn ir pirmyn, per neatsileidžiantį, žvarbų lietų.&lt;br /&gt;Pastatai vis retėjo ir retėjo, matėsi vis daugiau medžių, kurie mėnulio apšviesti atrodė panašūs į vaiduoklius iš pigių siaubo filmų, tačiau dėl to nė kiek ne mažiau baugūs. Pagaliau ji priėjo didžiulius plieninius vartus, kurie buvo užrakinti, bet vienoje jų pusėje buvo išpjauti mažyčiai varteliai, kaip tik tokio dydžio, kad jos ūgio mergina galėtų pro juos pralysti. Kaip pelytė (o ji ir jautėsi maža ir pilka) ji šmurkštelėjo vidun.&lt;br /&gt;Šaltą, negailestingą grindinį po kojomis pakeitė lietumi permirkusi žolė, ir ji negalėjo atispirti pagundai nusiimti batelius, kad pailsintų nuo ilgos kelionės pavargusias kojas. Tačiau šios nenorėjo nustoti eiti, ir nors ji pati nežinojo, kur esanti, nei kur norinti būti, vistiek ėjo, nes tik einant pirmyn Persekiotojas atrodė pakankamai toli.&lt;br /&gt;Čia! Mintis trenkė lyg žaibas, ir ji žinojo. Turėjo žinoti! Čia! Čia! Čia! Nors jos protas, veikiąs tik instinktyviai ir gyvuliškai, nieko negalėjo suprasti, tačiau kažkur giliai ji jautė, kad jos vieta čia. Nakties tamsoje, gaudžiant lietui, jos akys iš nuovargio užsimerkė ir ji susmuko šalia akmens, kuris turėjo būti šaltas, tačiau spinduliavo kažkokią nepaaiškinamą šilumą...&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Po kelių dienų pamačiau benamį, besiruošiantį miegoti ant suoliuko. Šalia savęs jis buvo pasidėjęs krūvą laikraščių, kuriais ketino užsikloti. Akį patraukė antraštė: “Žiauraus išprievartavimo auka įveikia pusės miesto atstumą, kad mirtį prie motinos kapo.”.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7636900540271158394-1048407426221240245?l=anoldgrimoire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://anoldgrimoire.blogspot.com/feeds/1048407426221240245/comments/default' title='Rašyti komentarus'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://anoldgrimoire.blogspot.com/2009/05/cia.html#comment-form' title='0 Komentarai (-ų)'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7636900540271158394/posts/default/1048407426221240245'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7636900540271158394/posts/default/1048407426221240245'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://anoldgrimoire.blogspot.com/2009/05/cia.html' title='Čia'/><author><name>Grimoirer Extraordinaire</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05955506615229836237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7636900540271158394.post-2039793225611202655</id><published>2009-05-06T13:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-06T13:43:07.944-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Nostalgija urviniam žmogui</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Nostalgija urviniam žmogui&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Skelki kibirkštį su titnagu&lt;br /&gt;Ir grožėkis žaibu naktyje&lt;br /&gt;Žaliais laukais ir mišku gūdžiu&lt;br /&gt;Atitvertas tu, nuo dabar ir nuo čia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Odom ir kailiais apsirėdęs&lt;br /&gt;Bet siela nuoga ir tyra&lt;br /&gt;Apgavysčių tada dar nemokėjęs&lt;br /&gt;Ankstyva žmonijos valanda&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kai nesigirdėjo aparatų gausmo&lt;br /&gt;Ir oras tekvepėjo šviežiu lietumi&lt;br /&gt;Kai mažiau buvo išdavystės skausmo&lt;br /&gt;Ir gyvenimą pakako saldint medumi&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O praeitie!

optimistic – a human’s pride&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ghouls attacked the house, doors were broken down&lt;br /&gt;Such anger, and yet they wore no frowns&lt;br /&gt;Crushed were the lovely couple, corpses drank their blood&lt;br /&gt;And down in that old cellar their flesh turned to mud&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ghouls went back from whence they came&lt;br /&gt;Hungry still, but sated all the

was, and so my tongue ran away&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A fool, a relic old, unuseful, I told him he was&lt;br /&gt;Angry he became, and spoke after a pause:&lt;br /&gt;“Ye best not talk while, ye idiotic rat&lt;br /&gt;As punishment for this, two months ye’ll be a cat!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A spell he placed upon me, powerful, no doubt&lt;br /&gt;A black cat I became – couldn’t even

through the lakes of life I row…”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A cave now lies before him, dark under the clouds&lt;br /&gt;He dismounts, lets go his horse to the nightly shrouds&lt;br /&gt;“Ye have served me well, loyal, truest friend&lt;br /&gt;But, alas, in this last endeavor alone I must fend.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The torch he blows out, extinguishes the flame&lt;br /&gt;“I’ve no need for fire

inside, until a hall he reaches&lt;br /&gt;Wherein stone statues lie, silent all, and speechless&lt;br /&gt;“I am here! Torundar has come!&lt;br /&gt;I shall join you swift, to weariness I now succumb…”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A flash of light, witnessed by no soul&lt;br /&gt;A spell at work – its purpose sole&lt;br /&gt;One more colossal statue in the hall now stands&lt;br /&gt;Farewell, Torundar, fare well in brave new lands…&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7636900540271158394-4061560261350386737?l=anoldgrimoire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://anoldgrimoire.blogspot.com/feeds/4061560261350386737/comments/default' title='Rašyti komentarus'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://anoldgrimoire.blogspot.com/2009/01/stoneturned.html#comment-form' title='0 Komentarai (-ų)'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7636900540271158394/posts/default/4061560261350386737'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7636900540271158394/posts/default/4061560261350386737'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://anoldgrimoire.blogspot.com/2009/01/stoneturned.html' title='Stoneturned'/><author><name>Grimoirer Extraordinaire</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05955506615229836237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7636900540271158394.post-6701652209434681324</id><published>2009-01-29T11:15:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-29T11:15:41.250-08:00</updated><title type='text'>None Live</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;None Live&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is this a mountain that I gaze upon?&lt;br /&gt;No, ‘tis not, it is the Mother Earth’s last son&lt;br /&gt;Last giant, Dulgaldir, slain by armies of Menoth&lt;br /&gt;The last son, last keeper of secrets which others long ago forgot&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mossy now his corpse, green like a rolling plain&lt;br /&gt;To my eyes such joy he brings, but never shall he breathe again&lt;br /&gt;Why, tyrant, did you destroy them so?&lt;br /&gt;Could you not let one know more than you know?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their home, the mountains -

type='text'>Blood, Sand and Glory</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Blood, Sand and Glory&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Colosseum’s depths the slavemaster gathered us&lt;br /&gt;Lined up, gave arms and armor and then spoke thus:&lt;br /&gt;“Ye filths, ye rats, ye’d do well to fight hard this day&lt;br /&gt;For the Emperor of Rome upon you his royal eyes shall lay.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Disheartened and confused my comrades were,&lt;br /&gt;Afraid to fight – a death in bed some would prefer&lt;br /&gt;But I was feeling not like them, oh no – how could I ever?&lt;br /&gt;Battle's my friend, I’ll fight with beastly fervor&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We stood before the gates, thick iron bars&lt;br /&gt;And waited for the command of our guards&lt;br /&gt;The clarion soon rang, the gates went up&lt;br /&gt;In blood the sand of this arena tonight shall sup&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lions attacked us, beautiful, yet wild and vicious beasts&lt;br /&gt;But I stood true and fearless, never considering defeats&lt;br /&gt;I plunged my spear into the beast king’s back&lt;br /&gt;This is how Vikings from the North attack!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blood pouring out and spattered brains&lt;br /&gt;Oh! This do I prefer to being locked in chains!&lt;br /&gt;Only a few of us this fight survived&lt;br /&gt;But this only the beginning, my conscience cried&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it was right – as soon as so I thought&lt;br /&gt;Chariots in armor rode in at a measured trot&lt;br /&gt;Bowmen and horses, trained for war&lt;br /&gt;But war this is fight is not – it’s just a pointless chore&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Arrows banged, stuck to my shield&lt;br /&gt;And the last of my companions to death had to yield&lt;br /&gt;Avoided I their shots as best I could&lt;br /&gt;But a bolt hit my leg and I no longer stood&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A rage came over me, so deep, so pure&lt;br /&gt;An anger which only in a Northern heart can so mature&lt;br /&gt;I dropped my shield, picked up a spear&lt;br /&gt;And threw it at the chariot, coming to me so near&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Skewered were they both, the bowman and the rider&lt;br /&gt;The sand yet more blood drank in greatest ardor&lt;br /&gt;I took their horse and grabbed a sword&lt;br /&gt;The other chariots to me rode, unarmored&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One head first flew, then two, then four&lt;br /&gt;The sand tastes yet more blood and gore&lt;br /&gt;Victorious I stood, in this arena large&lt;br /&gt;Is this now it, is there some final charge?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Indeed there was, the Romans knew their art&lt;br /&gt;Ten legionnaires were sent to take away my heart&lt;br /&gt;Oh how at them I laughed and crooned&lt;br /&gt;Little did they know – against me all are doomed&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I grabbed a spear and heaved it far&lt;br /&gt;No armor can resist the force of Jukhandar!&lt;br /&gt;A sword and axe, the weapons of my choice&lt;br /&gt;Soon victorious I shall rejoice&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They came at me, with swords and shields&lt;br /&gt;But this axe of mine I know how to best wield&lt;br /&gt;One by one they fell, no real test&lt;br /&gt;After all, from Northern men I am the best&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The trumpets ceased their song, the crowd turned silent&lt;br /&gt;A man in crimson robes stood up, on his head a garland&lt;br /&gt;“You fight like a master, I must admit&lt;br /&gt;But alive among us Romans you cannot exist.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He then showed a sign, his thumb turned to the ground&lt;br /&gt;And hoofbeats in the Colosseum did again resound&lt;br /&gt;These bastard snobs, in treachery they’re bred&lt;br /&gt;How dare they call themselves men, how dare they eat their bread?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The last spear I could find I snatched up quick&lt;br /&gt;And tossed it upwards, with all my strength I threw that stick&lt;br /&gt;A resounding “flop” I heard, and then I saw&lt;br /&gt;A body in crimson robes lying on the arena’s floor&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your Emperor is dead! I am triumphant!&lt;br /&gt;Bury your leader, summon your hierophant!&lt;br /&gt;But forever me remember, and tell the story&lt;br /&gt;Of how the emperor in blood and sand lies while the Viking

forests, my swamps – every path I know&lt;br /&gt;In the trunk of a great tree I live, near the roots&lt;br /&gt;And every night I go to sleep as the evening owls hoot&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My shapes there are many, I use but a few&lt;br /&gt;To entertain myself when there is nothing to do&lt;br /&gt;As a wolf I hunt, as a bobcat I walk&lt;br /&gt;And should the wind I’d wish to taste, I’d be a

nothing to me… Not yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday, in the village I sat&lt;br /&gt;Disguised as a beautiful alley cat&lt;br /&gt;When coaches painted blood red arrived&lt;br /&gt;Some men in

In the mist, a lone priest I spot&lt;br /&gt;Even now my downfall he must plot&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I creep through moss silent, while he crushes twigs&lt;br /&gt;He wreaks from six miles like a pen

crown&lt;br /&gt;It must keep the people happy, lest they start to frown&lt;br /&gt;But a voice of evil whispers in the ear of king&lt;br /&gt;Oh, what woe may such advice soon bring?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gray of hair, sickly and tired of late&lt;br /&gt;A downhill spiral seems to be our ruler’s fate&lt;br /&gt;He hardy speaks to anyone no more&lt;br /&gt;Just sits alone behind a barred oak door&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so a head with many years&lt;br /&gt;Turns to the bitterness of tears&lt;br /&gt;Dark his thoughts and grim his vision&lt;br /&gt;“A king am I? Bah! An object of derision…”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Insanity on him creeps up, in silence&lt;br /&gt;And then the royal crown turns to violence&lt;br /&gt;A wicked plan he conjures up&lt;br /&gt;Only in blood the land next time will sup&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“My guards, my knights! My royal servants!&lt;br /&gt;Time is for a cleansing now, say the observant&lt;br /&gt;So may you with my blessing ride&lt;br /&gt;And kill the city folk with merciless pride”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A traveler rode in through gates of West&lt;br /&gt;A ranger old, seeking merely winter’s rest&lt;br /&gt;To folk he called, but answer they could not&lt;br /&gt;They ran to flee the smell of putrid human rot&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“ ’Tis not right, not good, not just!&lt;br /&gt;This wicked king we’ll turn to dust!”&lt;br /&gt;And so he drew an arrow, fired well&lt;br /&gt;A knight’s heart pierced, down he fell&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The mob looked stricken at this graying man&lt;br /&gt;“Is he mad, has he a plan?”&lt;br /&gt;A fire sparked within their hearts&lt;br /&gt;Thus the great rebellion soon starts&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unto the castle marched the furious mob&lt;br /&gt;Some true of heart, some only to coffers rob&lt;br /&gt;Many fell, but they closed ranks&lt;br /&gt;The olden ranger leading new-formed ranks&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The knights fought brave, but soon retreated&lt;br /&gt;One by one, surrounded and defeated&lt;br /&gt;Soon nothing

mad from this world departs&lt;br /&gt;On throne of blood the ranger sits&lt;br /&gt;“Against the job of king shall I match my wits?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And ruled he long and ruled he good&lt;br

stable hand&lt;br /&gt;A rowdy, gruff and violent man&lt;br /&gt;He rattled chains while still alive he was&lt;br /&gt;But rattle now in death he does&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was a village near this house&lt;br /&gt;There lived a man with children and his spouse&lt;br /&gt;He loved each one with all his heart,&lt;br /&gt;But in mischief did his offspring oft took part&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A dare they placed, on who would go&lt;br /&gt;Into the mansion of old Winterblow&lt;br /&gt;The boys had laughed and quipped in jest&lt;br /&gt;But none would take such a frightful test&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so it fell upon a flower young&lt;br /&gt;To send her fear into oblivion&lt;br /&gt;She squired her jaw and clenched a fist:&lt;br /&gt;“Any magic I’ll resist”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The gates had creaked and wailed&lt;br /&gt;Like in a guarding of some secret they had failed&lt;br /&gt;Abigail stepped to the courtyard dark&lt;br /&gt;And felt bereft of all life’s spark&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She walked up to the door, raised her fist to knock&lt;br /&gt;“If these are locked, it’s just my luck”&lt;br /&gt;But opened they to her quite wide&lt;br /&gt;So she stepped in, a sure and measured stride&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ghost had felt her presence quick&lt;br /&gt;And to the hall he went, unheeding walls of mortar thick&lt;br /&gt;As Abigail was standing still and awed&lt;br /&gt;The stableman towards her clawed&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Dare you this mansion enter?&lt;br /&gt;If so, you then surrender&lt;br /&gt;Never shall you leave, dear lass&lt;br /&gt;You’ll keep me company inside, alas”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She screamed, she wailed, she cried for help&lt;br /&gt;But who would hear her thin, pathetic whelp?&lt;br /&gt;And so a ghost, she too, became&lt;br /&gt;Guarding the mansion in Winterblow’s name&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so the story ends, my lads&lt;br /&gt;And true it is – no doubts on that!&lt;br /&gt;So weary be of houses
