Greetings fellow GW2 Fans.
I wrote the following verse about 6 months after game launch as part of a Joke thread. As it turned out, to my surprise, it was quite well received. I was advised to reprint it in this thread so that others might be able to appreciate it. That said, I give to you:
The Comic Tragedy of Logan Thackeray
Starting off as Scout-for-hire, protection was his soul desire, in Ebonhawke he plied his trade, the name of Thackeray henceforth made.
A bond it formed unlikely pair, Human and Charr no stranger fare, and with Sylvari they made three, Destiny soon was meant to be.
Heroes six became life’s call, to battle forth and best them all, but cupid’s dart struck home one day, and turned his life another way.
A bond was formed with magic seal, a hero’s pledge to royal zeal, and if his Sire ever fear, “Call M’Lady I will appear.”
Six life-bound souls became as one, smiting dragons had now begun, elder spawn they crashed and fell, with hero’s boot thrust back to Hell.
Twist of fate as it tends to do, a wrench in the works of our hero crew, and in a battle of epic fame, a call came forth in Logan’s name.
A pledge was made as well you know, and off to Queen forgotten foe, without a word away he fled, Destiny’s Edge thus left for dead.
For he that fights and runs away, may live to fight for Queen that day, but he, who is in battle slain, allows the Queen to die in vain.
