Atseit ruošiuosi LARPui Estijoje, kur teks būti pasakoriumi. Kažkokią istoriją sugalvojau vakar vakare, bet neužrašiau. Šiandien taip pat, turėdamas laiko, parašiau tokį Viduržemiškos stebuklinės pasakos variantą, kurį pateikiu jūsų teismui.

This is one of the stories old
Of ages past, of people bold
Who would stand strong against all foes
And bring whole countries to their toes
These were times of journeys great
Of vows that never were forfeit
A time of spirits strong and true
A time when leaders born and grew
The tale I bring of a man
Whom few would mention, if they can
For all his tale is long and sad
Although it never went as bad
As that of poor Mormegil
Whose tomb stands somewhere still
And yet this tale some sadness brings
So be prepared – it may sting
The man I speak of lived on shore
In Lindon born, which all adore
He was, as you may guess, a sailor
His father – shepherd, mother – tailor
Upon the ship Anarramar
He traveled ever wide and far
From Mithlond up to Belfalas
His standard route forever was
But once a trip went out unwell
The ship was lost, and none can tell
What happened to it or its crew
But they were gone – that much is true
And only after years passed
Has rumor reached Gondor at last
From south it came, from far Harad
Where few do travel or ever had
The ship, in fact, was not destroyed
But only carried off and toyed
With by the force of dreadful squall
Which slaughtered many, yet not all
A few of them survived the storm
And with their ship, though bad deformed
Continued on towards the land
In search for place on which to stand
They reached the shore, but scared were
To notice what had there appeared
No lands familiar, not a stone
No grass or cities where sun shone
Only by deserts they were greeted
And by the jackals all in meeting
Shocked they were, yet had to moor
Although the land was oh how poor
They disembarked and set a camp
Put a tent and lit a lamp
They had to think of what to do
How to come back to lands they knew
Our hero – Ellar – stood to lead
He argued them to pay no heed
To move as fast as they may pace
Until they reach a lived place
And they agreed to move to north
To leave the ship and all its worth
To carry only simplest things
As little as they could just bring
They slept uneasily and in the morn’
They set up to that trip forlorn
There were four beside Ellar
Four who would come not far
For days and weeks they stumbled on
Sleeping wherever they chance upon
The air was burning, so did the sand
They had little water at the hand
Hopeless it seemed to travel forth
Because no matter how much north
The landscape never made a change
‘Twas sun and sand and sandstorms raged
One morning as they set off again
One of them lay as if he was slain
They buried him, and shed a tear
They were four now, all in fear
‘How long we will bear this torment
How much before we all are spent?’
Ellar could never answer them
He only motioned and forward went
In two days after this event
They saw ahead a giant tent
They rushed to it, and saw with pleasure
A lot of people, tons of treasure
They did not know on moment that
They met a Haradrim raiding band
They hoped to ask them for a way
But what they got was only chains
The story later is unclear
I only know what I did hear
Ellar and friends were all enslaved
By the Haradrim folk depraved
They never saw familiar lands
Forever doomed in Harad’s hands
And though for freedom they all cried
One after other they only died

Minčių turėjau ir daugiau, bet nebuvo laiko jas surašyti. Gal dar atsiras.

And the strings crescendo like the sunrise in the sky
The percussion section thunders like the storm clouds in their wonder up on high
The brass is roaring like the mighty ocean’s tide
Creation is music, and music is creation
Nai i cala Eruo siluva tielyasse...
