A Compendium of Tara's Thoughts Since Her Return

[Tara Rynieyn]

I hit my head.
I woke up!
I went to the Red Dragon Inn.
The people there scare me.
They like to play tricks!
I have family.
They are missing it seems.
I met my Aunt Nyx.
She was the governor of Rhy'Din.
She asked me to live with her.
My room there smells funny.
I met me a man.
His name is Anubis!
He said I was beautiful.
He kissed the back of my hand.
I want to have intercourse with him.
Aunt Nyx says we can only have dinner.
I met another man.
His name is Alain!
He said we would kiss.
But not until later.
Then he went away.
I do not think he will come back.
I met another man.
His name is Corlanthis!
We are going to get married.
But first we must have dates.
He will buy me some flowers.
We ate chocolate.
So we would not be sacrificed!
Miss Des is real nice.
Miss Zara gave me wine.
I do not like the Rules Woman too much.
She gives me a headache.
I want her to die!
People tell me I have a husband.
His name is Talomar!
I want to meet him.
People say he is mean.
I have had intercourse with him.
But I do not remember.
I have me a hole.
It is in the wall!
I looked in there and screamed.
I was a very strange girl.
I have lots of stuff.
I do not understand where it came from.
People look at me oddly.
They call me a nutball.
Why do they say this?
I do not understand.
I hit my head.
I woke up!
I met the Captain!
He will not perform marriage.
He has a big staff.
That he thumps on the floor!
He looks like he is dying.
I think he is funny!
I miss my home.
It is very far away!
The people there are nice.
But I had to come here!
I hit my head.
I woke up!
My name is Tara!
I cannot die.
I hit my head.
I wish I was sleeping.

[Tara Rynieyn]

Hello!
My name is Tara!
I hit my head.
I woke up.
I like to drink blood.
Says the people that know me.
But I do not know them!
One girl calls me "chicklette"
I do not know why
I ask her and ask her
And she never says why!
I think she is mean.
I met me a lady!
With nice pretty legs!
She swings them and swings them
Up over the bar!
I forget her name
But she tells me nice things!
I think I will gift her
With something pretty!
I went to the Red Dragon.
There is a stain on the ceiling!
It looks like it has been there a long time.
I live with my Aunt Nyx.
Who makes me sleep in a box.
I think this is strange
But I do not choke!
I hit my head.
There is a man.
His name is Tass!
He is to be my Uncle
I am so happy!
He is old but nice in his way.
I think I will hug him the next time I see him.
I met me my husband.
His name is Talomar!
I do not think I like him.
He kissed me on my neck!
I told him he has to support me.
But he says not without kisses!
I think that is unfair.
I think I will kill him.
The people they put,
two fingers up in the air!
This is a greeting of some sort.
As is blinking repeatedly.
The people here confuse me.
I hit my head.
When you meet someone nice
You must laugh at them a lot.
I do not understand this
But it sure is fun!
There seems to be dragons
everywhere I do go.
I think they are too big.
I am very little.
It is said I cannot die.
I do not believe this.
So I took me a knife.
And stabbed myself in the arm!
Aunt Nyx says this is not nice.
Some man Panther will get mad.
I have not met him.
I think he will not like me.
I have me a hole.
It lives in the wall!
There is stuff there I see.
That does not belong to me!
People say "Look, Tara! It is all yours!"
I think they are lying
but I cannot tell for sure!
There is a boy.
Who plugs up his ears.
And listens to music
from tiny little minstrels!
The lady with nice legs
says it comes from a witch!
I think I know how to work it
All you do is press that switch.
I danced and I sang.
To the many happy voices.
Speaking of killing their parents
and their grandparents too!
Then something about guts
and digging it out with a shoe!
I hit my little head.
There is no real swelling.
I gotta leave that box.
And get me a new dwelling!
I think I will go back,
to the tavern tonight!
Watch all the strange faces
that give me a fright.
Hello I am Tara!
Open, says me!
The hole in the wall opens.
And in there is my dollie!
His name he says is Arthur.
He is very crass and rude.
I went behind the curtain
and saw Corlanthis in the nude!
We will get married.
But first we must do dates.
I think I will retire.
To my box from Aunt Nyx!
She is very nice to me,
someone who I admire!
I am Tara.
My name is said all the time.
I am starting to wonder.
Why all I do is rhyme.

[Tara Rynieyn]

I am Tara
As far as I think.
My head does not hurt.
And I am very much now in sync!
I saw me some papers
scattered on some long tables
I read them and smiled
For they contained many fables
I like me a story,
especially about me!
But I think I could tell it better
Mr. Marc Franco,
don't you agree?
So I think we should meet
the sooner,
the better
But if you don't come,
I will send you a letter!
I want very much to see
what you look like in person
Before my memories
disappear again,
I'm afraid my condition
might worsen!
I think you will like me
and I might like you
Your stories are funny
as I'm sure is your pink 'do!
My name is Tara Rynieyn
the Cockroach Killa you see!
I'm starting to remember
lots of stuff about me!
So please come to the tavern
at the stroke of eight or nine
I cannot wait to meet you
Please do not say you'll decline!
I am very smart
and funny as well!
We will get along famously,
as many that know me will tell!
Do not be afraid
or put me off without reason,
Mister Marc Franco
if you come, you'll be
the talk of the season!
My name is the Tara
I sing and I dance.
I came back to Rhy'Din
to give myself a second chance.
I am so excited to share
everything I know with my friends,
I can only pray that my time here
is well spent
and never truly ends!

[Tara Rynieyn]

My name is The Tara
the Cockroach Killa you will hear
While I never killed no bugs,
I managed to make a lot of people fear
What I could do
when push came to shove
Like killing ex husbands
that I used to once love
I worked for a man
named Lord Brutin you see
He was my greatest love
and he knew everything
there was to know about me
He taught me to be brutal,
ruthless and cruel
I could have not done better
had I gone me to school!
He was the very first slaver
in Rhy'Din way back when
Together we were unstoppable
taking one woman after another
away from their men.
I have never liked slavery,
this is absolutely no lie
But I turned the other cheek for love
and many people, they did die
If I have ever said anything
to those who I do rightly know
It is that I am faithful, sweet and loving
so long as you don't show,
that you are foolish, and dare
take of advantage of what I have to give,
Because if you do so
you run the risk of angering me
and I promise you,
sooner or later
you will no longer live.
I am back now in Rhy'Din
with a vengeance
you might say,
and I am coming for you
Talomar Longden,
so you had best start to pray.
I will take back my sons
and spend your every last penny,
righting the wrongs you have
commited against me
of which there are many.
This war I bring to your
doorstep is but a taste,
You were careless
and reckless,
and I will lay all you do love
to utter ruin and waste.
So enjoy what little time left
I allow you and while
you still can,
bringing women to your bed,
and being an arrogant
and righteous man!
When I am through with you
just like before,
it will be said
far and wide,
Tara Rynieyn is
not to be tested
cuz her influence and power
in this realm
cannot be denied.
I make no threats
only promises
and only ones I intend to keep,
I will serve justice
upon you Tal,
your kidding yourself
if you thought my love
came so cheap.
Corlanthis has now
usurped you
he is honorable,
noble and good.
I am enjoying him
beside me
where you were lucky
to have once stood.
My name is The Tara
I make sport of fool's tears,
I am famous throughout Rhy'Din
and will continue to be
for many many more years.
I have had forty nine husbands,
twelve children,
even a wonder llama!
But my friends they will tell
you, no other woman is as
expert as me in handing down
some major drama.
I walk in a room
and every head turns
in my direction.
If there is anything I
am good at it,
it is getting attention!
So take heed children of
Rhy'Din, I am serious
when I say,
don't ever pull a Longden with me
cos' I'll not stop til I find you too
come what come may.

[Tara Rynieyn]

I think by now all of Rhy'Din
is very much aware of my name
As much as things may change
they almost always stay the same!
I went to the tavern to
get me some fun and relaxation,
and met me a prince, Vasaris,
the Great Flaming Honeydew of Zod
for your information!
Aunt Nyx and Miss Kairee introduced us,
trying to be of some assistance,
and now Cor must fight Vasaris for my hand
at the latter's most princely insistence!
Vasaris, the Bludgeoner of Ten Stars,
is like no other prince I ever met
I hope his declarations of love
do not prove to be a real threat!
He is boisterous and melodramatic,
a real charmer of that
you can be sure!
But his bold entreaties and friend
named Dralak, terrify me to no
end, I only pray I can endure!
I imagine with growing uncertainty
what it will like to be his Queen,
Spending my days under his
thumb and constant scrutiny
of that I'm not too keen!
Long ago I had a guard
and his name you should know
was Ashe,
He chided me for weeks and months,
unlike Vasaris, Ashe had no panache!
He said I was too brazen, conceited
and had one too many a title,
despite my telling him that to a
a princess and a queen this was
not only expected but was vital!
He teased me unmercifully,
old Ashe he was a joker,
I would have killed him where he stood
if we had not worked
for the same flesh broker.
In titles and wealth, Vasaris and I
truly are a perfect match,
yea, Corlanthis is so sweet
he's what you call a great catch!
Now I wait with bated breath
for the Scourge of Two Hundred and One Nations,
to duel with poor sweet Cor,
though it may be a test of love,
I honestly don't know if I have the patience!
