By Lord Azuryte 9-2-98
             ...And cometh the verdant effervescence of spring. The fawns doth romp and play and the birds sing a song of triumph over the long winter solstice. Alas, I see this all through hour-glass eyes, this is a time of new beginnings and life for all. And what of this befallen knight O' the round, thus begins my beginning too. The beginning of the end. Methinks I shall leave this material realm for a while with the help of a little bit of Merlin's greenleaf and some ale...
             ...Since my decsention upon life I have found solice in a new profession. I have put up me sword in place of a flute and have become a traveling bard. I play songs about far away places that I have been to in my dreams to people in taverns. Some times I get applause and sometimes not and a few times I was thrown out. Methinks Merlin's greenleaf has done something to me brain...
             ...Why does the world spin so. As the leaves fall, so does my hope. All I do now is lay upon the hill and throw rocks at birds. Ever since I got thrown out of Camalot for getting a little tipsy and running through the town screaming that Marduk the Mad has cometh to devour everybody's soul and spit out korn bread. Well, I think it was the fact I did this while wearing nothing but a flute and some greenleaf that really made King Arthur mad.
             ...Mad. Mad, mAd, MAD. You want to knoweth what I doth feel bout me dilema, dearest Arthur. I am about to embark upon a journey in which at the end of the rainbow lies my death. My painfully pointless death. No more life, just bleak death. And plenty of it by the size of that green berk.
