100 Circles Strong  

Commissioned by Navesi and Ahneya for Mendira when she reached 100 circles

Each circle reached means quite a lot. It represents all you've been taught.
But when one hundred have been earned, it goes beyond what you have learned.
All those ranks in your vocation demonstrate your dedication.

We celebrate this milestone and the commitment you have shown.

Regardless how you like to train, with every circle that you gain,
You'll find much closer you will be to reach the goal of Mastery.
And friends that you've met on the way, celebrate this with you today.

The pride you feel is echoed here, in joyful smiles of those near.

Each class, and hunting trip you've made, the practicing in guild or glade,
The time you've spent has brought you far. Your talents show that you're a star.
You perform and bring us pleasure, giving memories to treasure.

One hundred circles! What a feat! Let's now enjoy both drink and treat!

Mendira,
You're now one hundred circles strong. We've believed in you all along!
Our fondest wishes follow you, in all the things you've yet to do.

Alma, the Itty Bitty Bard  

This song was written to honor a very dear friend- Almarius.

A faint scent of gingerbread flies into the room
A cloud of colorful glitter behind.
It's a Gnome Bard, beloved by all she meets-
New friends and new fun to find.

With tortoiseshell glasses framing sparkling green eyes,
She's prepared for all tart emergencies.
She inspires laughter and joy from all,
Bouncing up and down with great frequency!

Puddle Stomper Almarius, in her pink gown-
Red-gold hair carelessly crowning her head,
When smiling, dimples appear in her cheeks-
With a generous and kind heart, she's led.

An itty-bitty goblin friend never far away,
Only windmills and paperwork bring fear.
If she's your friend, she'll stay in your heart,
And her sweet laughter forever you'll hear.

I hope you'll meet her and see for yourself-
Find out how smiling with her is not hard-
Hear the cheerful cadence of her very first words,
"Hiiii! I'm Almarius- The Gnome Bard!!"

Ancient  

Into the ground, I fall again.
Pushed by words that tumble down-
Sliding like rocks down a mountain.
And I am undone.

So many years of sight
Wasted in a moment-
Blinded and rendered useless,
And I am overcome.

Into the shadows, I fade once more,
Pressed back with words
Spiraling fast- with no warning,
And I am alone.

So many steps I've taken,
Stilled in an instant,
Hidden by a thousand grains of sand-
And I am lost.

Into the past, I find myself
Paths marked by forgotten things,
The familiar now strange,
And I remain.

So many times, I fly... yet;Into the depths, I disappear.
