Editors Words<br />
by Amaarent Vasata, Editor-in-chief of AWA<br />
It was only a few days ago that the<br />
<strong>Atamaran</strong> Writers Association was founded.<br />
There are only a few members in the guild<br />
as of yet, but we hope there will soon be<br />
more and that we can really start working<br />
on bringing you, the readers, entertaining<br />
writings from all around Atamara.<br />
To kick things off, we have printed this<br />
sample issue of <strong>Atamaran</strong> <strong>Writings</strong> to show<br />
you, our potential readers and members,<br />
what the <strong>Atamaran</strong> Writers Association and<br />
this publishing is all about.<br />
The writings in this sample issues are<br />
mostly done by members of the Vasata<br />
family, mainly Paigven and Amaarent<br />
Vasata. This is due to the lack of<br />
membership in the guild, but we hope that<br />
future issues will have writings from many<br />
different nobles of Atamara. We hope you<br />
enjoy this sample issue.<br />
Fair Lady of Siver<br />
A ballad by Paigven Vasata<br />
In the cold, cold, north,<br />
The fair lady of Siver lived,<br />
Waiting for her lord,<br />
The fair lady of Siver.<br />
In the warm, warm, south,<br />
Her lord fought,<br />
Batteled with glory,<br />
For the fair lady of Siver.<br />
A long, long, way,<br />
His love never dying,<br />
Her love never faltering,<br />
The fair lady of Siver.<br />
A short, short, time,<br />
His journey back home,<br />
For the lady he loved,<br />
The fair lady of Siver.<br />
In the cold, cold, north,<br />
The two lovers reunited,<br />
The battle won,<br />
For the fair lady of Siver.<br />
Warriors of the Volcano Gods<br />
A song by Paigven Vasata<br />
From the black smokes they march,<br />
The warriors of the volcano Gods,<br />
Driven by gold and loot,<br />
The warriors of the volcano Gods.<br />
Swinging their swords for loot,<br />
The warriors of the volcano Gods,<br />
Drinking beer and eating cookies,<br />
The warriors of the volcano Gods.<br />
Hide your women for they've come,<br />
The warriors of the volcano Gods,<br />
Hide the pies and cookies for they've come,<br />
The warriors of the volcano Gods.<br />
Pay the price and they'll go,<br />
The warriors of the volcano Gods,<br />
Spit at them and they'll come,<br />
The warriors of the volcano Gods.<br />
Run Abby dogs, run, for they're coming,<br />
The warriors of the volcano Gods,<br />
Run goat lovers, run, for they're coming,<br />
The warriors of the volcano Gods.<br />
Victorious they are,<br />
The warriors of the volcano Gods,<br />
Eating cookies and drinking beer,<br />
The warriors of the volcano Gods.<br />

A Warriors Fate<br />
A short story by Amaarent Vasata<br />
The calm wind cooled the warm skin of the<br />
warrior. He sat under a large oak and<br />
looked over the battlefield. The warrior<br />
could hear the occasional cry of pain and<br />
plead for life, even the occasional silent cry<br />
someone made for mother. The warrior<br />
noted the healers who walked among the<br />
fallen, looking for those they could still help<br />
save. He shook his head and turned his look<br />
from the slaughtering grounds.<br />
Closing his eyes, he recalled the image of his<br />
wife. Her long, sand colored hair, her blue<br />
eyes and her warm voice. He had met her<br />
at the harvest festival three years ago. They<br />
had danced together and watched the<br />
sunrise while holding hands. The warrior<br />
smiled as he recalled the time he spent<br />
courting her. He could clearly remember<br />
her warm laughter and the soft feel of her<br />
warm skin against his as the two had<br />
wandered into an abandoned barn.<br />
Two months later they had been wed. The<br />
image of her on that day was burned in the<br />
warriors mind. She had been so beautiful<br />
that, at times, he felt he was undeserving of<br />
her. Of course, she always laughed at him<br />
for such thoughts if he said his fear out<br />
loud.<br />
The farm they later worked at as farm hand<br />
and maid was a warm and friendly place.<br />
The farm owner was more like a father than<br />
an employer and the two were happy there.<br />
After the warriors wife became pregnant,<br />
the farm owner and his family were very<br />
understanding and supportive of her. The<br />
warrior remembered when he first held the<br />
young life he had helped bring to this world<br />
with her. His son. The joy and pride he felt<br />
for it flowed through him again and<br />
warmed the warriors heart. The thought of<br />
his family had given him strength in the<br />
time he had spent away from them.<br />
The warrior smiled again as he remembered<br />
her wife by the stove, holding his young son<br />
in her other hands. It was right before he<br />
had been drafted to the army and one of the<br />
last memories he had of her and his son. All<br />
through the battles the warrior had thought<br />
of his family and how he would see them<br />
again. It had kept him going and he had<br />
survived many battles.<br />
As the warrior slumped to his side, he<br />
realized he would not see them in this life,<br />
but the next. This had been his last battle<br />
for his family. The arrow sticking out of his<br />
other side had done its job. With his last<br />
breath, the warrior prayed for his family's<br />
well being and as the last shreds of life left<br />
him, he smiled as the memories in his mind<br />
offered him his last consolations.<br />
A Short Thank You<br />
by Amaarent Vasata, Editor-in-chief of AWA<br />
This is the end of our sample issue and I<br />
thank you for taking the time to read it. As<br />
you probably noticed, it is a bit light on<br />
content, thus it is distributed for free.<br />
With more members in the guild, we can<br />
hopefully provide you with more reading<br />
and more varied styles of writings. I hope<br />
the sample issue has sparked your interest<br />
in the <strong>Atamaran</strong> Writers Association and I<br />
hope to see more people drop by at our<br />
guild house in Siver.<br />
