Kassill Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the Fang Not a Wolf Priest was stirring, Swift Claw or Long Fang. The tankards were hung in the Great Hall with care, In hopes that the Allfather soon would be there. The Blood Claws were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of blood and guts danced in their heads. And Logan, the Greatwolf, an Axe in his lap, Had hung up his Bolter for a long winter’s nap. When out in the snow fields arose such a clatter, Defence Lasers swivelled preparing to splatter, Their targeting reticules trained on the sight, But quickly stood-down with a beep of delight. Out of the storm, stepped a shadowy figure And as humanoids go, I’ve not seen one bigger! Before him there strode two devilish beasts, Both clearly great wolves with sharp, pointy teeth. The wind whipped around him with hurricane force, But the giant strode on staying true to his course. He drew back his lips and spoke with a growl, "On Freki and Geri, to the drinking hall now." A climb to the gate was made in a trice Over rocky outcrops encrusted with ice. Russ stood at the door and bellowed a call, “The Lord has returned once again to his hall!” A single Blood Claw awoke from his slumber, And sought out a snack to stifle his hunger. On passing the hall he stopped with a gasp, Beholding a sight he barely could grasp. The Primarch spoke out to in a deep throaty roar, "Be at peace now my son, and don't stay by the door, Come join me in drink there's Ale and Mulled Wine, My stay here is short, it's not yet Wolf Time." He drank through the night recounting the Sagas, Thirstily downing both bitters and lagers. The Blood Claw sat opposite, silenced in awe At the sight of the legend who'd walked through the door. As good as his word at the first light of Dawn, Russ gathered his Wolves and laid down his horn. But he turned back and called, 'fore he went out of sight, “Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!” I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas season and a happy new year <3 ranulf the revenant, Jarl Deathwolf, RikuEru and 13 others 16 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/360744-with-apologies-to-clement-clarke-moore/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

RikuEru Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 By now this has grown to be a really important christmas tradition for me. Thank you, Brother Kassill. To all of you in the Fang, no matter what you celebrate (or don't), with whom you do so, if you have time off or have to work... Thank you, Brothers and Sisters, for all that you do for our hobby. May you all have some relaxing time with those you hold dear, to regain strength and energy for next year's looming efforts. (...and the ETL ;) ) It's not yet Wolftime... but it will be some day. And we shall be ready! ranulf the revenant, NightHowler and Kassill 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/360744-with-apologies-to-clement-clarke-moore/#findComment-5450857 Share on other sites More sharing options...
