Chapter Two

Dwarfs

Dwarfy leaps down as if struck by a stick,

Exclaiming, “Sweet Jesus, let’s set to work quick!

“When I’m not like a lion, I am just like a sheep –

While I stand around bleating, my posture is meek.

“Yet this ground feels like velvet,

and my heart, it can sing –

And while building our kingdom,

I’ll shed this old skin!

“Now as for your sister, let her teach what she can!

As our priestess, she’ll show what’s revealed to a man!

"She'll be just like the lily, lo and behold!

Like she blossoms, so too will our hearts unfold!

“Our walls will be steady, and so will our core –

But wait, what was it we're striving for?”

We want to build a castle of sand that blows with the wind, just like the wind. That way we won’t be bound to the tricky laws of the earth.

I forget. Let’s take a break. We got a little caught up in our excitement, but I have a suspicion that our plans are futile.

We’re striving to build a pompous castle with everlasting barricades to intimidate our enemies. Those smug idiots.

We’re looking to erect a kingdom in the spirit of community, built upon peaceful soil by every helping hand we can find. This will create strong bonds and ensure optimal conditions for everyone’s unfolding.

Just a little more to go. Please choose your choice.
