'Twas the Day Before Summer (An Adaptation)

'Twas the Day Before Summer,
And all through the land
All the pirates were rushing
Leaving prints in the sand;

Their hearts were filled
With enough love to spare
In hopes more EXP/Drop events
Soon would be there.

And the shasilsk was cooked
By the fire with ease.
Creating power so vast
It shook the seven seas.

The voys were settled
Right into their ships.
Cannons precisely aimed
At the kraken's tentacle whips;

It took hours and hours,
but the beast came down.
Cargo now filled with loot
surely to bring them renown.

When on Summer Isle,
there arose such a clatter!
A dragon has awoken!
Pirates must handle the matter;

Away to the statue
they moved like a flash.
They prepared their entries,
And began to clash;

The dragon was strong,
But the pirates, steadfast.
For against their shared love
The dragon was no match!

The gem that it dropped,
Powerful indeed.
Forging into equipment,
Success guaranteed;

They would need this new strength,
As a dark power arose.
The pirates were frightened.
The abyss was exposed!

Shadows danced about.
Abyss lords were to blame.
Guild leaders screamed and shouted,
and called them by name;

“Now, Baron! Now, Flame!
now, Beast and Tyran!
Seal, Phoenix! Seal Despair!
Seal Asura and Drakan!

To the bottom of Abaddon,
where Hardin does lie.
Now attack! Attack!
Hardin will die!"

The challenge was vast,
But the reward above par.
For it was death equipment
That they searched near and far.

The pirates had done it!
Their success was outmatched!
For all the abyss lords,
their guild had dispatched.

It was at this time,
that their leaders did say:
"Happy Summer to all,
much love is on display!"

The Mermaid's Ballad


Her lullaby so entrancing calmed the deepest of sea
It filled the air with serenity, but her heart melancholy
What season gives warmth, at the same time despair?
It's the season, like a pirate, gone too soon, melted into air


Fairly easy to reason why summer love hits differently
Longer are the days, the sun beams ever so brightly
He drowned her with his story, his beauty, and his lies
She never loved drowning this much, that in waters she flies


In the shores of Argent they share the same white sands
But they dream differently to the horizon beyond hands
In the island of Cupid they sat under the same night skies
But couldn't see the same stars that shine before their eyes


She is a queen trapped by a pirate's charm so dreamy
Says she was his treasure, his pearl, his gem, not a trophy
In reality she's but a fling in just another Summer season
Like leaves they spring but will fall in every Autumn​

Summer Love (A Flame Burns Brightly)

I travelled across the Shaitan sands,
Sailed beyond the Deep Blue sea.
To arrive on the shores of Ascaron,
Patiently wait to meet someone.

A summer love, year to year,
We always return to reunite here.
Our love like tinder began with a spark,
Just like the Summer Fire we made in the dark.

A flame that burns brightly for just one season,
Outside of Argent like a beacon.
Calls and beckons us to return,
So every year our love will burn.

We spend our nights on the sand,
Sipping Melon Drinks, hand in hand.
Cooking Smoked Salmon, Sausages and Smores,
Together our love grows and soars.

Our Summer Fire shines bright and tall,
Our love burns strong and will not fall.
Although we must part now, goodbye and adieu,
I'll longingly wait for next summer to see you.

Eternal Summer

Summer... what a joyous time for two souls
Two souls, so in love, so in swoon
Always warm - with the sun burning like hot coal
Always sunny - during sunrise, sunset or high noon
Always perfect - two souls with hearts in tune.

But as the long summer days slowly grow shorter
I fear our time together, too, may dwindle
But...
I wish not to give up this warmth, or to grow apart further;
I wish not to give up this sunshine, or to lose our love's kindle;
I wish not to give up this perfection, or to lose something so simple;

But a whisper from her so soft, pulls me out of my insecure delusion,
For I quickly realize my foolishness and the misconstruction I'd made.
'Summer Love' refers not to love in the sea, heat and sand - t'is but an illusion,
It is the love where summer is perpetual, where it lasts for decades.

Where she keeps me warm, even when by the cold I'm nearly consumed;
Where she brings sunshine to my life, even in the days full of gloom;
Where she loves me with such perfection, from the first day, to my tomb;
Indeed, this summer love is eternal; may it always bloom and bloom...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​

Dedicated to a special someone in our small PKO community.
May we all find someone who always makes us feel like it's summer; and who inspires us to create poems and art for their sake, not for rewards.
For, in the end, being drunk with their love is worth more than any amount of Rum we may win; and the glow they create around our hearts is worth more than any unique glowing weapon we may earn.

Spoiler: Dedicated To...

None of your business
