| A story that I wanted to share
.
One day, in some place on earth, all the emotions and values of man gathered together.
Madness after it has introduced herself three times to Dullness
proposed to her to play hide and seek.
The brow was lifted by Consciousness and waited patiently to hear,
while Curiosity without being able to hold herself, asked:
What is hide and seek?
The Enthusiasm started dancing along with Euphoria
and Joy started jumping up and down, so as to try and convince
Dilemma and Apathy who was not interested in anything to play also.
But there were many who did not want to play:
Truth did not want to play because she new that one way or another she would have been revealed.
Arrogance found the game stupid and Unmanly did not want to risk.
<One, two, three> Madness started to count.
The first that hid was Boredom and as it was bored
it hid behind the first rock on its way.
Faith flied to the skies and Jealousy hid in the shadow of Triumph who with his power managed to climb to the highest tree.
Generosity could not hide, every time she found a place she thought of her friends and was saving it for them, so she left all the good spots free.
So Generosity hid in a sunbeam.
Egoism on the other hand found a hiding place almost instantly, a very well hidden and convenient place just for him.
Lie went to the bottom of the ocean to hide.
Obsession and Desire (Lust) hid inside a volcano.
Love (Cupid) had not still found a place to hide.
He found all the spots taken,
alas he found a bush of roses and hid there.
<
999, 1000> Madness counted and started looking.
The first that was found was Boredom, as she did not hide very well and far.
Then she found Faith who was talking in the skies with God for theology.
Then she felt the rhythm of Obsession and Desire at the bottom of the volcano and afterwards she found Jealousy, was not hard enough for her to find Triumph.
She then found very easily the Dilemma who has not yet decided where to hide.
Gradually she found everyone except Love (Cupid).
Madness was looking everywhere, behind every tree, below every stone, on top of the mountains
but nothing.
When she was almost completely ready to give up she found a bush of roses and started throbbing nervously at the bush when she heard a moan of pain.
It was Love (Cupid), whom the thorns of the roses had injured his eyes.
Madness did not know how to make up to him the wrong she has done, she was crying, asking for forgiveness .... and at the end, she promised to be the guide of Love (Cupid).
Thus, since then Cupid is always blind, and Madness always accompanies him.

Θα ήθελα να πω καλώς σε βρήκα αλλά δεν μπορώ διότι δεν ασχολούμαι με την ξιφασκία ...  ... αλλά ΚΑΛΩΣ ΣΕ ΒΡΗΚΑ.
Έχει γέλιο αυτό, μπήκα στο site για να μιλάω με ένα φίλο από Αγγλία και βρήκα Έλληνα και μάλιστα Πειραιώτη ... τελικά φυτρώνουμε σαν τα μανιτάρια χε χε χε.
Δεν νομίζω να υπάρχει καλύτερο χόμπι από το D&D, τουλάχιστον αυτό είναι το καλύτερό μου, ωραία σύμπτωση.
May your days of swordplay be many
and with a lot of EP.
Καλή συνέχεια. | |
