"Guys, I don't think this is a good idea. The LAST time we did this, Vespera set ME ON FIRE." The small diatribe did nothing to stop the two dragons in front of him from stopping. Mythic resisted the urge to throw his hat on the ground. Then he resisted the urge to throw his hat at his clanmates. That one was a lot harder to suppress. "GUYS!" "You weren't even here last time," the Pearlcatcher pointed out, bouncing on the heels of her feet. "Were you?" "That didn't stop you from setting me on fire, did it?!" "Come on, calm down," the Spiral to his left soothed. "It can't be that bad this time! Second time's the charm, right?" "Third," Mythic said. "Second time usually means you find new and creative ways to screw up, ways that should not be possible." "Ah, it's fine. We're Arcane. We can make things work." the Spiral reached for the bell. "I'll go first! Nothing bad will happen if I go first, right?" Mythic stared morosely at the bell. "This is going to end up with me on fire again, isn't it?" "Don't worry.

Entry Category: The Season's POV
Entry Title: Game of Spring and Autumn

Entry:

Everything that has an ending
Must first find a way to begin
And I bring life to the wild
With just a touch of eastern wind

The frozen grounds stir at my touch
The sleepy birds awaken from roost
As the heavens open with rain and sun
And the first violet flowers bloom

And how lovely are the golden rays
As they cast sunbeams across the land
Bringing life here to the barren world
Dyeing every leaf, every strand

And how gorgeous is this world of ours
When it’s shaded in vibrant green
When the land is flush with color
And butterflies dance on vivid wings

Yet you dare disturb this beauty
You dare exist to scorn my work
You come to tear down all I’ve woven
And send all life back to the earth

Your heavy footsteps trample
The delicate petals of the rose
Your scarlet gales shed the trees
Of their lovely gold-green cloaks

And in destruction you’re unrepentant
And you don’t seem to understand
That the world must thrive in colours
To show the true beauty of the land

Well, it matters not your foolishness
I’ll see you suffer for your crimes
This battle is only beginning
Just wait till your smug antics decline

For I am the emperor of all that grows
I can restore all that you destroy
I’ll regrow every flower you consume
I won’t let you have your way

So don’t you think you’ve won this battle
Don’t you dare look away from my eyes
Just wait until you see how I plan
To bring you down to your demise.
~~~~ Everything with a beginning
Must one day find itself with an end
And I bring the world that finale
With my gentle southern wind

The lovely grounds droop at my touch
The chattering birds flee from my sight
As the air chills with coming crystal frost
And the graying of the light

And there’s something peaceful about the cold
As it bites crisply into sullen air
Bringing a sense of solitude
A melody misty, cool, and clear

And how wonderful is this world of ours
When it’s wrapped in scarlet gold
When the silence is a warm blanket
Over forests bare and cold

Yet you seem to think it’s a battle
To see whose colours better grace the world
You fight back against my tapestry
Of fallen leaves and crimson folds

Your light footsteps touch upon
The soft newborn strands of grass
And you paint the world with colours
That simply are not meant to last

And darling you’re so childish
In your attempts to claim the land
Well, that matters not so much
For I’ll make you understand

Your plots and plans are amusing
But nothing compared to what I've in mind
If you think this is only the beginning
I can’t wait to see what else you’ll find

For I am the empress of all that falls
All you restore, I can destroy
This little game of yours is pointless
But for now I’ll let you have your way

I’ll play with you in your mock battle
But my dear, I’ll give you some advice
Who are you to think you can bring doom
To one who, in herself, is demise.
