(note - "The Mountain Climber" is a paradelle as well, for bonus marks! ) Apocalypse The Mountain Climber ~ The Warrior a mountain climbs the sky ~ the terror glitters on his blade a mountain climbs the sky ~ so rich with texture, lustr'ous light as nature gapes in awe ~ he reaches for the stars he's made as nature gapes in awe ~ he cuts the wonders from the night in awe, the sky gapes as ~ each prize is pasted to his belt a mountain, nature climbs ~ beneath the sun, to fry and melt with arms of fury frost ~ he left his world to fend alone with arms of fury frost ~ a hero dead, and one anew and claws of biting wind ~ that clawed his planet to the bone and claws of biting wind ~ a hero used to be one true with biting wind and frost ~ the warrior fought for such a cause of fury, claws of arms ~ but fury clipped his frosty claws in mankind, cold remorse ~ the answer to the questions is in mankind, cold remorse ~ so simple, yet so far away the steel submits to snow ~ while rust forms on that blade of his the steel submits to snow ~ the war was won within the day remorse, the snow in steel ~ a form of rain so very rare submits to cold mankind ~ to decorate the warrior's hair the sky with mountain cold ~ with snow to line the fall of man the claws of fury arms ~ as nature, rips our land to shreds remorse of nature frost ~ the absent force provides a plan in awe, a biting wind ~ spins fast, and cuts off all our heads, submits to snow, and climbs ~ the pages of the hist'ry books as mankind gapes in steel ~ they're buried by the babb'ling brooks |

*Throws down her pen and paper* That's it... I QUIT! Seriously, this is above anything I was able to come up with when I wrote mine. You mastered this challenge extremely easily, but that's no surprise. Beautiful story, also. Are you going to grace us with another before the month is over?
