You might (make that definitely) enjoy reading this more if you do it while listening to this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIHRgisdbeY

Out in the townsquare just east of the Bazaar,
I fell in love with a Mexican boy.

Night-time would find me alone by the fountain after he'd leave me to go play lockdown.

Blacker than night were the eyes of my Darkcub,
Wicked and evil while casting a spell.

My love was deep for this Mexican bandido;
I was in love but in vain, I could tell.

One night a wild Icycutie came callin,
Wild as the The Jempire wind.
Dashing and daring,
A lockdown game she was sharing
With wicked Darkcub,
The boy that I loved.

So in anger I

Challenged her right for the love of mi amor.
Down went her hand for the Polaris she wore.
My challenge was answered in less than a heart-beat;
The pretty young stranger lay dead on the floor.

Just for a moment I stood there in silence,
Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done.
Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there;
I had but one chance and that was to run.

Out through the back door of the Lockdown I ran,
Out where the snipes were tied.
I caught a good one.
It looked like it could go high.
Up on its back
And away I did fly.

Just as fast as I

Could from the game that destroyed me,
Out of the bad-lands of Krogmo's Lockdown.

Back in the Haven my life would be worthless.
Everything's gone in life; nothing is left.

It's been so long since I've seen that bandido.
My love is stronger than my fear of death.

I saddled up and away I did go,
Riding alone in the dark.
Maybe tomorrow
A bullet may find me.
Tonight nothing's worse than this
Pain in my heart.

And at last here I

Am on the hill overlooking the Coliseum;
I can see Twenty-One knights down below.
My love is strong and it pushes me onward.
Down off the hill to the game I do go.

Off to my right I see a team from Jempire;
Off to my left side an Echo of Silence.
Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me.
I have to make it to Darkcub's Guildhall.

Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel
A deep burning pain in my side.

Though I am trying
To lean on my Drakon,
I'm getting so weary,
Unable to go on.

But my love for

My Darkcub is strong and I rise where I've fallen,
Though I am weary, I can't stop to rest.

I see the white puff of smoke from the Antigua.
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest.

From out of nowhere my Darkcub has found me,
Kissing my cheek as he kneels by my side.

Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for,
One little kiss and My Darkcub, good-bye.

(3...2...1...Rev, and she's at it again.)

I am at a cross between giggling and throwing up. You're going a bit too deep Mawa... kinda like people who get super serious about eating constests. Is there some back story in this?

hola Darkcab mi mexicano amigo.

I do not know why you keep calling yourself Spanish. Everything about you is reminiscent of mehico. I also saw a screencap of you long ago with 4-bars which is unattainable from Spain.

You and felcher should accept that you're mexicanos and be proud.

Forgot to mention Contri who I know 100%, is a Mexican living in Spain (I saw a screen shot and he has 1 bar).

Contri doesn't count as spanish nor mexican. Gods have no need for a nation.

I get a laugh out of this every time I read it.

I felt things had gotten maybe a little too tense and serious in here, and after meeting Darkcub for the first time (I think) today and having some fun with him, I wanted to try to lighten things up a bit.

And perhaps to balance people's perception of me as someone who's always serious and "down on" things.

My guildmates get to see my funny side and how much I enjoy the game everyday, and that side of me shows in many of my other posts and threads but not so much in here lately.

And, hey, in the end, it's just a game.

P.S. Out of fairness to "Lionheart", I did not dump him. If anything, it was the other way around, or he died in my Dragon Princess Chronicles story - take your choice, :)

@ Dark Cub - You are the manliest of men, dark and handsome, fierce and deadly. Be gentle with us, por favor, mi amor.

Wait a minute, hold the phone...
Are you telling me that the same person who oh-so-desperately longs for reform and change within Lockdown and it's community is the same person who fell for the guy who primarily ended up throwing myself and the rest of my guildies from Twenty One into this long and bitter war against The Jempire, the guy who pretty much starts every conflict in the Coliseum subsection of the forums? o.o

I don't know why, but . . .

. . . this thread just makes me laugh everytime I read it.

(To be read with a cowgirl's southern drawl)

Normally I don't go for badboys,
and he's one of the baddest,
but when I spectated Lockdown
in search of mi amor,
I followed the trail of dead bodies
to a GF-weilding, snarby-hide sporting,
eye-squinting, sombrero-wearing,
bandido of beatdowns
riding a whirlwind of destruction
the likes of which of
my glowing sultry eyes
had never before beheld.

He tipped his hat, threw me wink, and rode off into the sunset with my heart,
leaving me with nothing but the lyrics of that mournful, haunting song:

"Blacker than night were the eyes of my Darkcub,
Wicked and evil while casting a spell.

My love was deep for this Mexican bandido;
I was in love but in vain, I could tell."

(Mawashimono seeks and finds consolation in her apple a la mode, eating it with such a ferocious appetite and desire it was like her spoon was having intercourse with her mouth.)[Yee-haw, that there simile broke out of the corral and went plum wild!]

P.S. I reckon I'll evetually have to move this thread to the Treasure Vault (of my heart).

Noooooooo!

He broke out Disney Princess songs - Who told him my weakness? WHO?!?!?

My heart feels like it's surrounded by that line of red dashes that show up around your character when you have no shield left - completely defenseless.

Is this the never-before-seen tenderside of the Lothario Lockdown Legend known as El Dark-Cub?
Podría ser cierto? (Could it be true?)

@Mawa

Are you just joking or are you serious? Ugh, I guess we might never find out, but still, why start licking Drakcub's tail all over a sudden and be so flustered about it? Have some intergruity danmmit! >:( You are the dragon princess, I know Drakcub beat your least favourite guild, but have you see his behind? It is covered in the tooth pick scratches from the members of the Jempire (and likewise, there is a hole on Krakob's pants, most likely recieved from darkcub himself.) . No one wins forever, especially in LD. Men do all sorts of things to get the lady, especially boasting about how good they are, all men do it, even I.

If this thread is only for fun, plz address the issue before hand next time so I don't have to be too serious about it. I know you posted the poem here to get drakcub's attetion (i don't think he ever checked the other sections of the forum). Hmm, this sounds like something you can add to your fanfic, the dragon princess and a mysterious badboy named darkcub unite hand in hand as they take on the Jem, ugh, I mean the red-empire. Romance insues <3

I can feel the Coliseum in the air tonight, Lockdown
And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, Dark Cub
Can you feel the Coliseum in the air tonight? Lockdown

if you were dying in Lockdown, Dark Cub, I would not lend a rev
I've seen you on inspect before my friend, but I don't know if you know who I am
I’ve spectated Lockdown and I saw what you did, I saw it with my own glow-eyes
So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies

Well I remember, I remember, don't worry, how could I ever forget
It's the first time, the last time we ever fought
But I know the reason why you keep inspect off, your costume doesn't fool me
Well the UVs don't show, but the help still grows
It's no Stranger to you and me

I can feel the Coliseum in the air tonight, Lockdown
Well been waiting for this moment for all my life, Lockdown
I can feel it in the air tonight, Lockdown, Lockdown
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, Lockdown

I can feel the Coliseum in the air tonight, Dark Cub
And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, Dark Cub
I can feel it in the air tonight, Dark Cub, Lockdown, Dark Cub
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, Lockdown, Dark Cub

Your Voltedge isn't safe.

Ooh ooh ooh! Ok i'll do my part as the preacher.
Dearly beloved, we are gathered together here in the sight of God, and in the face of this company, to join together this Man and this Woman in holy Matrimony; which is an honourable estate, instituted of God, signifying unto us the mystical union that is betwixt Christ and his Church: which holy estate Christ adorned and beautified with his presence and first miracle that he wrought in Cana of Galilee, and is commended of Saint Paul to be honourable among all men: and therefore is not by any to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly; but reverently, discreetly, advisedly, soberly, and in the fear of God. Into this holy estate these two persons present come now to be joined. If any man can show just cause, why they may not lawfully be joined together, let him now speak, or else hereafter for ever hold his peace.

I REQUIRE and charge you both, as ye will answer at the dreadful day of judgment when the secrets of all hearts shall be disclosed, that if either of you know any impediment, why ye may not be lawfully joined together in Matrimony, ye do now confess it. For be ye well assured, that if any persons are joined together other than as God's Word doth allow, their marriage is not lawful.

Darkcub, wilt thou have this Woman to thy wedded wife, to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of Matrimony? Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honour, and keep her in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all others, keep thee only unto her, so long as ye both shall live?

I will.

Mawashimono Wilt thou have this Man to thy wedded husband, to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of Matrimony? Wilt thou love him, comfort him, honour, and keep him in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all others, keep thee only unto him, so long as ye both shall live?

I will.

Who giveth this Woman to be married to this Man?

I Darkcub take thee Mawashimono to my wedded Wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part, according to God's holy ordinance; and thereto I plight thee my troth.

I Mawashimono take thee Darkcub to my wedded Husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part, according to God's holy ordinance; and thereto I give thee my troth.

WITH this Ring I thee wed: In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

BLESS, O Lord, this Ring, that he who gives it and she who wears it may abide in thy peace, and continue in they favour, unto their life's end; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Let us pray.

OUR Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done, On Earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

O ETERNAL God, Creator and Preserver of all mankind, Giver of all spiritual grace, the Author of everlasting life; Send thy blessing upon these thy servants, this Man and this Woman, whom we bless in thy Name; that they, living faithfully together, may surely perform and keep the vow and covenant betwixt them made, (whereof this Ring given and received is a token and pledge,) and may ever remain in perfect love and peace together, and live according to thy laws; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

O GOD, who hast so consecrated the state of Matrimony that in it is rep resented the spiritual marriage and unity betwixt Christ and his Church; Look mercifully upon these thy servants, that they may love, honour, and cherish each other, and so live together in faithfulness and patience, in wisdom and true godliness, that their home may be a haven of blessing and of peace; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit ever, one God, world without end. Amen.

Those whom God hath joined together let no man put asunder.

FORASMUCH as Darkcub and Mawashimono have consented together in holy wedlock, and have witnessed the same before God and this company, and thereto have given and pledged their troth, each to the other, and have declared the same by giving and receiving a Ring, and by joining hands; I pronounce that they are Man and Wife, In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

The Man and the Wife kneeling, the Minister shall add this Blessing.

GOD the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Ghost, bless, preserve, and keep you; the Lord mercifully with his favour look upon you, and fill you with all spiritual benediction and grace; that ye may so live together in this life, that in the world to come ye may have life everlasting. Amen.
