//------------------------------// // I // Story: In Memoriam R.D. // by Bulbasaur //------------------------------// A messenger, demeanour meek, He knocks, exhausted from his run. I smile at him for all he's done For Dash and me these past few weeks. A messenger, from distant sands, Had brought me Dash's thoughts and words; He bridged me with my blue love-bird Through missives, from the Gryphon-lands; A messenger, who, dress'd in red, Does greet me in the early morn'; In grief I instantly am torn: He bears the message, "DASH IS DEAD"
