Vlog #14: Summer Battleblood Updates and News (5/23/11)

Topics: Blogging/Vlogging, PVP Videos/Commentary, secret projects, self-improvement, and a future "offer" from TPC.

ICH #3

"From His End."  A story of its own

Proportion, not expected to have grown

To extensive understanding and realization;

Still, it grows on without hesitation.

A story elongating in a wide gyre,

Only to stop when the author expires.

A single perspective, detailing events

That lead up to the "magical" moment,

While excavating secrets, truths, and history

Combined into a single identity.

"The Past is Gone"; another view

Of a parallel story with thoughts construed.

Inevitable intersection as a surprise,

The beginning starting with "Eyes."

ICH #2

Three letters, lengthened to three syllables;

Double entendre.  No, wait, I see triple...

"Make that four, actually," all that she wrote.

A fun drink mixed with an overused quote.

A continuous struggle countered by transactions

Of not money or goods, but of words and actions.

A trial of temporal and spacial matters;

Teamwork ensures it does not shatter.

Two contemplations tied to these riddles

The point is not to understand when you see little.

Strain not your mind, but your curiosity;

In due time, there will be clarity.

Allow your thoughts to wonder and ponder;

The truth'll shed light, and make these rhymes fonder.

ICH #1

Out of the ethereal realms we discover,

From under the helms where reason recovers,

Come the notes on sheets 

Without rhythm, keys, or beats.

A major paradox, an interesting puzzle, 

Where the sea surface shines of rubble;

Where the metal is tanned, and the leather fused; 

A combination, at surface, sure to confuse.

But the symbols are there, almost fixated,

On an essence that's not premeditated.

Yet even nature yields not the forces of separation

For the pieces to be parted in dual isolation.

Though, time will be your companion in finding the key to this.

Look forward for more, and soon, your pieces will fit.

Riddle Answered!

8 and 5
In the latter and given
We are a thousand and Devil's mark even;
The first in crow, the second-to-last in raven,
Three within mold, three left in cold.

What are we?

Answer:  ROMAN NUMERALS


Roman = 5 letters, a "given" name
Numerals = 8 letters, the "latter" word


1000 + (Devil's mark) 666 = 1,666 even = MDCLXVI (1000+500+100+50+10+5+1), one of each Roman Numeral from greatest to smallest value.


"C" (100) is the first in "Crow," while the second-to-last in the above order AND second-to-last in alphabetical order is "V" (5) in "raVen."


M (1000), L (50), and D (500) are the three in "mold," while C, L, and D are the three in "cold."
