Array ( [sid] => 148706 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Burning of Most of Eldore Except for the Rich Parts Which are Surrounded... [time] => 2009-03-25 14:11:48 [hometext] => The full title wouldn't fit: The Burning of Most of Eldore Except for the Rich Parts Which are Surrounded by Very Large and Pretty Stone Walls [bodytext] => Dragons dragons all around
I see people all abound
I see people all a-soaring
Fires raging
Dragons roaring

Houses crumble at the sight
People scream with all their might
Sheep are eaten
Straw is burnt
People whining that they’re hurt

Great destruction everywhere
Noble people laugh and stare
Peasants dying
Horses Flee
Glad the dragons don’t see me

No no children go away
In this nice spot I will stay
All surrounded by fine brick
Find a savior
I’m not it

Oh my Jesus they’ve seen me!
Dragons flap against the breeze
Can’t escape
Brick traps in
How ironic it’s an oven


The original account of the burning of Eldore stops abruptly at this point, severe burn marks were found on the latter half of the parchment. The peasant Jason Black has not been seen since.
