Off to battle again.
Another day, another battle, another day to amuse one’s self.
Looking out into the shadowy forest, in search of an acquaintance.
Wolf howls signal the return of the Princes and all is well.
The war has been won and the undead soldiers have been demolished.
Moonlight hovers over the home of the Elves
And inside the forest I find myself,
Hunting the hunter; under darkened skies.
A wolf dives at me and I open fire.
The arrow strikes its head and it falls down dead in the snow.
Its companions will be here somewhere, so I will be ready to fire again.
An elf appears from the mist, so I lower my bow;
It’s good to see you again, old friend.
He tells me of a quest to the undead hordes lair
And after shopping for provisions,
We head off with our band of merry friends.
The healer is annoying, but he will be needed when we get there;
So we allow him his flaws and his errors are not mentioned.
Once more into the darkness; we head into war
And all around us, the skeletons fall.
We grow stronger with age, before, during and after.
At the end of the day, we are new to this no more.

A fun little sage AC.... I especially love the last two lines........which are real life!
I think I know that shadowy forest...
I enjoyed this piece.
"Where have all the good buffs gone and where are all the priests?
Where's a group-wise paladin to dis-spell my deceased?
Isn't there a holy knight upon a shiny steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream up what I need...
I need a healer!
I'm holding out for a healer 'til the end of the run.
They've gotta be skilled,
And they've gotta be calm,
And they've gotta be second to none.
I need a healer!
I'm holding out for a healer 'til the rise of the sky.
They've gotta be geared,
And they've gotta be fun,
And they've gotta stay joined 'til we're done;
Stay joined 'til we're done...
...I need a healer!"

Well I don't know that much about world of Warcraft, but I thought it could be applied to my own thoughts in the forest!
wow I enjoyed this piece very much loved the last two lines those were my favorite
Thanx. With age we grow wiser and stronger, and it is the same with writing I hope.
"Years spent in torment,
Buried in a nameless grave.
Now he has risen,
Miracles would have to save.
Those that the beast is looking for,
Listen in awe and you'll hear him,
Bark at the moon!
...Howling in shadows,
Living in a lunar spell.
He finds his Heaven,
Spewing from the mouth of Hell.
Those that the beast is looking for,
Listen in awe and you'll hear him,
Bark at the moon!"
