Fezzik's Rhyming Thread

[Xandria]

(HAH...most excellent then! )

Closing her eyes she clings to him tight, and then...they plunge into a swirling bath?

Like the end of a rainbow this cascade held a surprise, nothing nefarious but rather quite nice!

[Mordred]

Yet as they plunge again, together they clanked, like cubes of ice

Bobbing to the surface, together they found the shore

[Xandria]

Crawling across the mossy bank, before them paths of four

Shivering now which one to take, two of light and two of dark

[Mordred]

Grinning down into her eyes, "You know which sort I would embark"

Feeling something unusual, a fish jumps from a pocket

[Xandria]

Shaking with laughter, she opens a golden locket

Inside a tiny vial to drink, "This will show the way."

[Mordred]

To an 'Alice and Chains' tune, he begins to sway

A drop for each they consume, the third path squeaks, "Follow me!"

[Xandria]

Arm in arm they weave their way, until they reach the sea

Waves crashing upon the shore, stormy sky and waning light

[Mordred]

In the far off distance shades of gold, blink in and out of sight

A Giant turtle floats to surface, urging us aboard

[Xandria]

Sailing on the majestic creature, we float towards a fjord

Glassy surface black as pitch, on the banks a glacier cavern glows

[Mordred]

As we step into it's brilliance, every step and motion slows

Time, it seems, has run amok, inside this crystal haven

[Xandria]

Glittering ice in every shade, one doorway protected by a silver raven

Beneath our feet ice shimmers and dances, the guardian bird speaks vexing riddle

[Mordred]

Sanity takes a dive, as the beaked one whips out a fiddle

Whatever smoke fills the air, those wings sure can play!

[Xandria]

This crafty creature is determined, for our eyes to stay away

Ah but we are much to smart for that, the bow strings I snip with scissors

[Mordred]

Crazed, the bird flaps it's wings, scraping into the cavern many fissures

Through a opening, hands together, we dive as chaos ensues

[Xandria]

Two doors appear that force a choice, a voice sounds warning of taboos

To turn back now cannot be done, a rumbling behind as crystal closes

[Mordred]

A chamber of echoes now surrounds, as darkness deals it's doses

What, we question, is this place.. for our eyes shine ahead, our path

[Xandria]

Strange white light illuminates, reflecting off a swirling bath

Deep beneath the surface, our eyes behold a glittering prize

[Mordred]

An orb of power and magic, it's surface a swirl of pale blue skies

Together our hands extend, into the marble we reach

[Xandria]

A clap of thunder quakes the ground, a flash and we're on a beach

Turquoise water paradise, swaying palms of coconut

[Mordred]

Waves gently lick our feet, nearby a peaceful hut

Unable to resist, into the water I dash and dive

[Xandria]

Freedom and elation, in the water I feel alive

Pristine coral teeming fish, a touch I simply can't resist

[Mordred]

A vent releases billows of steam, we watched as it hissed

Hand in hand we search the depths, seeming to need no air

[Xandria]

Journey further into the deep? Could we, would we dare?

Of course! We hitch a ride with dolphins, but they take us to a grotto

[Mordred]

A stage appears, which they all swim towards, chanting a silly motto

Suddenly it dawns on us, they wish to be fed fish

[Xandria]

Wanting to please our newfound friends, with my hand a quick swish, swish

Platters of salmon along with shrimp, a mad dash rush to devour tasty morsels
