[Apollo Lion]

“climb to the top,” he recited to himself, “climb climb!!!” he didn't know why he was climbing or what he climbed for. all he knew was he was climbing, trying to escape the surrounding darkness, only climbing until he reached the light. “friends, family, loved ones, i will receive them all if i just climb climb!!!” he wanted friendship, he wanted loved ones, so he climbed doing whatever it took to reach the top. when he finally reached the top, when he finally looked upon what he climbed, all he found was nothing. “so what is the point of climbing?”

Fine... I'll play your little game, Stili.

"The Prince"

There once was a being known by the name of Kyrian. He was kind, athletic, funny, charming, protective, wise, intelligent, and romantic. However, most importantly, he was incredibly sexy. The man had perfect musculature, as if he were chiseled from the purest stone. His eyes were able to bewitch the devil himself. His hair was as soft as extremely whipped cream. His voice could make the most mundane word more beautiful than the greatest symphony. Even down to his fingernails, the man was an image of perfect beauty. There was nobody sexier. And that ass… Oh my gawd, that ass!

[Rae-Star Berii]

Into the gloom they rode, fast like the speeding wind. Four horses, galloping across the muddy ground. Their saddles tight and empty, their breath like clouds on the dank air. Hooves fierce and fast, they pounded the soil, fleeing from a sight unknown, a horror so vile it frightened the beasts into the wind. With coats as black as the night, the horses fled but their rides no-where to be seen. Behind them, the roar of death sang into the night, the scream of the beast that chased their fleeing flanks. It chilled the animals to the bone, closing in...

[Akutenshi Kyoushi]

The demon stood in the center of a battle ring, swords placed in his hands. How he loved to do these sparing sessions against some of his finest bodyguards. And while it was nice having them, he also knew that he had to be able to rely on himself. He stood there as the first man came at him and he raises his blades to defend. 'Ting, clash, swoosh' ah to hear those sounds exhilarated him. They danced swords clashing and singing. So sweet was that sound and even left him sad as the fight ended too soon for him.

[Bernhard Reiniger]

There once was a wild young lass, who did naught but sit still on her ass.
Th'lady sat on her stool and ate from her gruel, giving wide-eyed smiles all day.
But one day a man came, and thought he could tame so concoct a good plan he did start.
He would wait for the dark to call forth his hark, and snatch up his prize on the mark.
The plan did astound, until ran aground when discovered she yet was glued down.
Imagine the poor fool's face, when in his queer prize's place sat a pixie of plastic physique.
