<DIV align="center">The Third Door<br>
by Annanar Orme<br>
<br>
I.<br>
<DIV align="left"> I sing of Ellabeth, the Queen of the Axe,<br>
Who could fell a full elm with two hatchet hacks.<br>
She could rip apart Valenwood just for her fun.<br>
She studied under Alfhedil in Tel Aruhn.<br>
He taught her the jabs, the strokes, and the stance<br>
To make an ax-swing into an elegant dance.<br>
<br>
<br>
He taught her the barbed axes of the Orcs bold,<br>
The six-foot-long axes favored in Winterhold,<br>
The hollow-bladed axes of the Elves of the West,<br>
Which whistle when they swing through flesh.<br>
With a single-headed axe, she could behead two men.<br>
With a double-headed axe, she could fell more than ten.<br>
Yet where she lives in legend has most to do<br>
With the man who hacked her own heart in two.<br>
<br>
<br>
<DIV align="center">II.<br>
<DIV align="left"> Nienolas Ulwarth the Mighty, who hailed from Blackrose,<br>
The only man who could best Ellabeth with ax blows,<br>
In a minute, she chopped fifty trees; he, fifty-three.<br>
She felt at once that he was the only man for she.<br>
When she professed her love, Nienolas just laughed.<br>
He said he loved more his ax handle and shaft.<br>
And if they weren't enough to slake all his desire<br>
There was another woman named Lorinthyrae.<br>
Fury gripped the Queen of the Axe, the maid Ellabeth,<br>
And her thoughts turned to pondering musings of death.<br>
Mephala and Sheogorath gave her a revengeful scheme<br>
And for weeks, she worked on it in a state like a dream.<br>
In the still of the night, she kidnapped her rival<br>
And then told her choices between doom and survival.<br>
<br>
<DIV align="center">III.<br>
<DIV align="left"> Lorinthyrae awoke in a house in the moors<br>
In a room lightly furnished except for three doors.<br>
Ellabeth explained that behind one of the doors the lass<br>
Would find Ellabeth's and her love, the great Nienolas.<br>
Behind the second lived a ravenous demon.<br>
And behind the third, an exit to freedom.<br>
She must choose a door, and to aid her decision<br>
If she pondered too long, the axe'd make a division.<br>
Lorinthyrae wept, and Ellabeth felt contrite,<br>
And opened the door to her immediate right.<br>
It led to the moors, and as she slipped through the gloom,<br>
She advised Lorinthyrae to likewise abandon the room.<br>
Lorinthyrae ignored her and did not feel her will bend.<br>
Nienolas was largely behind the first door she opened.<br>
<br>
<DIV align="center">IV.<br>
<DIV align="left"> Ellabeth had lied; there was no demon of lore.<br>
The top third of Nienolas was behind the third door.
