Inspired by and dedicated for the fair lady Icaza. by Hatchet, 3/7/94 ~ E two~ . Little Girl One day, I happened upon a little girl, Sitting on the stump of a tree. She was dressed in blue, head full of curls, And she was smiling at me! "Hello, dear old man," she says to me. "I'm going to Wonderland! If you would like to come join me, Please, take hold of my hand!" I had barely touched her hand, When she ran off at a tear, Pulling me to a far away land That only she knew where. I watched this girl run like the fire, She must be under twenty. But she didn't slow, she didn't tire, While I hobbled behind, panting aplenty. Suddenly, we both started flying, With the Earth shrinking behind. I thought I must be dying, Or just losing my mind! "Where are we going, what is your name?", I yelled to the little girl. But nothing will distract this dame, As through a hole we hurl. I was suddenly filled with white light. Wondering what would next happen. But then I was no longer afright, As I saw what must be Heaven! Tranquil plains blossomed before my eyes As we came down to land. I looked around, from green grass to blue skies. This must be Wonderland! We finally stopped, our destination here, As we came upon a grand plaza. She leaned over, whispered to my ear, "I am Goddess Icaza." Inspired by and dedicated to the fair lady Icaza. 3/7/94 by Hatchet ~ E three~ . Untitled I read a poem to my love, One that comes to me unbidden. It is a simple poem, written by simple me, but writing such a poem makes me laugh, and it makes her cry And I know that at that very moment, we are both experiencing the same emotion, Love. Inspired by and dedicated to the fair lady Icaza by Hatchet 3/14/94 ~ E four~ . Untitled Leaves swirling around us, Raindrops in our hair. Locked within one another's embrace, Lost in our own world. We kiss softly, longingly, Secure within our own warmth. People scurry around us, Oblivious to us, we oblivious to them.

Your Mortal Paladin, Hatchet ~ S #3839 On the Other Side of the Dimensional Portal~ You are on the other side of this dimensional portal! You look around, and see walls made of a golden substance harder than titanium and atlantium. A divine light illuminates this room. To the west, you see the rest of this estate, and to the east, you see a small room with a shrine through a hazy portal. ~ 38 8 0 D1 You see the small room with the shrine.~ ~ 2 -1 3838 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 3840 S #3840 The Living Room of Icaza and Hatchet~ You are in a large room. Walls made of a golden substance harder than titanium and atlantium rise high to the ceilings. Paintings, tapestries, and other beautiful objects of art merge into the walls, as if they are part of the walls themselves. Two large thrones are in the center of this room. A large door wrought from a platinum-like metal is to the north, and an equally large door wrought from a gold-like metal is to the south. The other exit from this room is the hallway to the east, and a mysterious portal to the west. ~ 38 8 0 D0 The door looks impenetrable by mundane means. A small sign says, 'Hatchet'. ~ ~ 2 -1 3841 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 3839 D2 The door looks impenetrable by mundane means. A small sign says, 'Icaza'. ~ ~ 2 -1 3842 E portal west~ This portal seems impenetrable by mortal means. ~ S #3841 Hatchet's Study~ You are in a small, cluttered room. You are amazed by the amount of trash in this room, especially compared to the large, opulent room this is connected to. A picture of the fair lady Icaza is on a wall, next to a Cindy Crawford calendar. You can hear the song 'Somewhere Out There' in the background. The exit is to the south. ~ 38 0 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 3840 S #3842 Icaza's Study~ You are in a small room. A large bed is in the corner, and a wooden rocker creaks of it's own will on the hardwood floors. You can see a stuffed ducky and a stuffed piggie on the bed. This bed looks like it's for display use only, as the owner of this room must sleep somewhere else. You can hear the ringing of a small bell in the background. The exit is to the north. ~ 38 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 3840 S #3899 Icaza's and Hatchet's Bedroom~ You are in a large room. Strangely, you see THREE beds in this room, a large brass bed, an equally large waterbed, and a smaller low futon. All three look used, as if the owners of this room use all three beds depending on their moods. The smell of roses and perfumes permeates this room, and you can hear some soft jazzy music (Kenny G?) in the background. There is no mortal exit from this room. ~ 38 512 0 S #0 #RESETS *Doors* D 0 3801 4 1 Close the grate up D 0 3026 5 1 Close the grate down D 0 3802 1 1 Close the door to room 3806 D 0 3806 3 1 Close the door from room 3806 D 0 3804 3 1 Close the door to room 3809 D 0 3809 1 1 Close the door from room 3809 D 0 3811 1 1 Close the door to room 3816 D 0 3816 3 1 Close the door from room 3816 D 0 3811 3 1 Close the door to room 3815 D 0 3815 1 1 Close the door from room 3815 D 0 3812 1 1 Close the door to room 3818 D 0 3818 3 1 Close the door from room 3818 D 0 3813 3 1 Close the door to room 3819 D 0 3819 1 1 Close the door from room 3819 D 0 3814 3 1 Close the door to room 3821 D 0 3821 1 1 Close the door from room 3821 D 0 3826 1 2 Close and lock the door to room 3827 D 0 3827 3 2 Close and lock the door from room 3827 D 0 3826 3 2 Close and lock the door to room 3828 D 0 3828 1 2 Close and lock the door from room 3828 D 0 3830 3 2 Close and lock the door to room 3831 D 0 3831 1 2 Close and lock the door from room 3831 D 0 3837 2 2 Close and lock the door to room 3838 D 0 3838 0 2 Close and lock the door from room 3838 D 0 3838 3 2 Close and lock the door to room 3839 D 0 3839 1 2 Close and lock the door from room 3839 D 0 3840 0 2 Close and lock the door to room 3841 D 0 3840 2 2 Close and lock the door to room 3842 * M 0 3801 2 3802 Small rat in rooms M 0 3801 2 3810 Small rat in rooms O 0 3804 9 3802 Walls in the rooms P 0 3820 9 3804 Torch in walls O 0 3804 9 3803 Walls in the rooms P 0 3820 9 3804 Torch in walls O 0 3804 9 3804 Walls in the rooms P 0 3820 9 3804 Torch in walls O 0 3804 9 3811 Walls in the rooms P 0 3820 9 3804 Torch in walls O 0 3804 9 3812 Walls in the rooms P 0 3820 9 3804 Torch in walls O 0 3804 9 3813 Walls in the rooms P 0 3820 9 3804 Torch in walls O 0 3804 9 3814 Walls in the rooms P 0 3820 9 3804 Torch in walls O 0 3804 9 3823 Walls in the rooms P 0 3820 9 3804 Torch in walls O 0 3804 9 3824 Walls in the rooms P 0 3820 9 3804 Torch in walls * M 0 3804 2 3808 Rat in rooms M 0 3804 2 3817 Rat in rooms M 0 3805 1 3823 Large rat in rooms M 0 3806 1 3806 Wererat in room E 1 3811 99 16 Equipped with a stake M 0 3807 1 3815 Wererat guarding weapons E 1 3813 99 16 Rusted Knife E 1 3815 99 7 Leggings M 0 3807 2 3816 Wererat guarding food E 1 3813 99 16 Rusted Knife E 1 3816 99 10 Arm Guards M 0 3807 3 3815 Wererat guarding weapons E 1 3813 99 16 Rusted Knife E 1 3815 99 7 Leggings M 0 3807 4 3816 Wererat guarding food E 1 3813 99 16 Rusted Knife E 1 3816 99 10 Arm Guards M 0 3808 3 3824 Wererat in conference E 1 3811 99 16 Stake M 0 3808 3 3824 Wererat in conference E 1 3811 99 16 Stake M 0 3808 3 3824 Wererat in conference E 1 3811 99 16 Stake M 0 3810 1 3828 Wererat leader in office E 1 3817 99 16 Flail E 1 3814 99 14 Bracer E 1 3814 99 15 Bracer E 1 3815 99 7 Leggings E 1 3816 99 10 Arm Guards M 0 3811 2 3828 Large rats to support leader M 0 3811 2 3828 Large rats to support leader M 0 3812 1 3830 Slavemaster walking around E 1 3818 99 16 Whip E 1 3814 99 14 Bracer E 1 3814 99 15 Bracer G 1 3803 99 Give him the key to the cage O 0 3805 9 3829 Cavern walls in the rooms P 0 3822 9 3805 Sapphire in walls O 0 3805 9 3830 Cavern walls in the rooms P 0 3823 9 3805 Ruby in walls O 0 3805 9 3832 Cavern walls in the rooms P 0 3822 9 3805 Sapphire in walls O 0 3805 9 3833 Cavern walls in the rooms P 0 3822 9 3805 Sapphire in walls O 0 3805 9 3834 Cavern walls in the rooms P 0 3823 9 3805 Ruby in walls O 0 3805 9 3835 Cavern walls in the rooms P 0 3822 9 3805 Sapphire in walls O 0 3805 9 3836 Cavern walls in the rooms P 0 3822 9 3805 Sapphire in walls O 0 3805 9 3837 Cavern walls in the rooms P 0 3823 9 3805 Ruby in walls O 0 3805 9 3838 Cavern walls in the rooms P 0 3823 9 3805 Ruby in walls M 0 3813 3 3831 Slave in cage M 0 3813 3 3831 Slave in cage M 0 3813 3 3831 Slave in cage M 0 3814 2 3837 Slave working M 0 3814 2 3835 Slave working M 0 3815 1 3840 Mortal Hatchet E 1 3824 9 17 Wielding a Minigun!
