After reviewing all of the fantastic entries that were submitted, it is with cubed delight (delight³) that we get to announce the Winners and Runner-Ups of The TCF Relation of Three Contest!
The ideas, thoughts, and concepts that went into all of the entries was incredible to see. There were so many additional ‘rules of three’ associations that were brought to the table than we expected, and it was terrific to realize all the efforts that went into each submission. Take a look back at the amazing entries here in The TCF Relation of Three Contest Submission Thread.

Daybloom, sunflower, water leaf
Wash away you pain, strife, and grief
Moonglow, fireblossom, shiverthorn
Brighten up the way as you move forward while shielding from the world's scorn
Remember the time we traveled across this reality
It felt so real despite it really being a fantasy
Pitted against Corruption, Crimson, Hallow, Corruption, Crimson, Hallow
With you by my side, I never felt hollow
As we fought hand in hand
We transversed across this strange land
But then it happened so fast
Even though we fought against goblins, pirates, martians from first to last
Something struck you from behind
You dropped to the floor as my world began to unwind
It seemed to have chortled before it left us be
As I held you close to me
Beautiful leaves and flower petals scatter in the wind as if to say goodbye
Seemingly synchronizing with your very last sigh
Wet and steaming droplets slid down my face
All the while you began to erase
The color started to drain
My efforts to save you were all in vain
As I listen to your still pulsation
I vow to take retribution
The touch of your skin still feels as if you were there
Even if you already with the air
Gleaming lights float alongside your essence
And gently become one with the clouds of brilliance
Now it's been three long years since you left this world
My perception of hope has been whirled and twirled
Three long years and now I feel like I need something that I lack
Even as I wait I know you won't come back
So instead i'll do my part
And finish it all for you with my heart
Without your by my side, nothing went well
How long must I endure this, only time will tell
Every day and every night I was always thinking about you
I know you knew if I haven't had a clue
Even through this endless suffering
For you, I will always keep pushing
Deathweed
Reminds us of the scarcity and eternity of time that we fail to heed
Blinkroot, cactus, thorn
Represent the quickness of life no matter what's sworn
I kept moving on
Just keep moving on, keep moving on
Restore this broken fulfillment
I know you are watching over me despite being absent
No matter how alone I feel at the moment
With your blessing, I can face my opponent
Fight after fight, I grew stronger
Until the point I couldn't advance any longer
Now it's all going to begin soon
The final battle against the very moon
Crystallized skies turn an ugly dark
As a bright light appeared in a vehement spark
A horrid three-eyed monstrosity came out the blue
The time for the fight is now due
Look now
I'm finally here now, finally here now
After using the trinket and feeling that something was amiss
I'm finally matched against the lunar one who started all of this
I begin to try to breathe
As I pulls out your sword from its sheathe
Here I go I yell
To face against this empty shell
Wind blows peacefully and fluently
Before the calm is no longer something you can see
As I fought against the true cause of your loss
The one responsible for this chaos
I remember the three years we've been together, we've been together, we've been together
Fighting against our enemies forever
Even if you aren't here, I can still feel your graceful presence
Giving me a feeling of reminiscence
Blow after blow I delivered from my sword of lux
Until I saw its exposed crux
I gripped my gleaming and holy sword
With one mighty scream and you pushing me forward
The core shattered and green and gray substance scattered
However that wasn't what mattered
I finally avenged you, my love
I have pierced the darkness and went above
May our souls intertwine when I at last die
And may we be one with the serene sky
Wash away you pain, strife, and grief
Moonglow, fireblossom, shiverthorn
Brighten up the way as you move forward while shielding from the world's scorn
Remember the time we traveled across this reality
It felt so real despite it really being a fantasy
Pitted against Corruption, Crimson, Hallow, Corruption, Crimson, Hallow

Runner-Up: Star_Destroyer9
@Star_Destroyer9 created an original piece of music for the contest covering the Overworld, Underground, and Hell areas, and wow is it outstanding! Cheerful and also foreboding, all in the right spots. Giving it a listen you can tell which distinct area is being highlighted during the song.
Runner-Up: Artie
The four of them sat in the living room. Little Tibia played with her blocks, George was reading a new fantasy novel, Lillie and Gerald sat in their favorite rocking chairs.
"Dad, I just realized you've never told us how you and mom met" George's voice pierced the comfortable silence.
"Really?" Gerard glanced at his son quizzically.
"I'm sure we've told you at some point. Still, I guess there's no harm in repeating the story" He looked at Lillie lovingly.
"It all begun..." but before he could say anymore his expression changed suddenly, and he slumped back in his chair.
"Dad!" the children screamed.
"It's okay" said Lillie slowly
"It looks like he's just lost in his memo-"
--------
"Sure, it's 1-833-21-" the woman suddenly started vomiting blood all over her pretty jacket.
"Oh, " Gerard swore, and quickly pulled out his phone to call an ambulance. He was soon sitting in a doctor's office in the hospital.
"I'm sorry sir, I'm afraid there's nothing we can do." the doctor said.
"The vomiting and the subsequent coma seem to have been inflicted by a rare disease called deasiesius raris; unless a miracle happens, she'll be dead in a week.
"Is there no cure to this illness?"
"Unfortunately, there have only been a few documented cases of it, and no cure discovered. Though on a second thought, I remember one potion rumoured to have worked in one patient's case."
"How would one go about brewing that potion?"
"I could brew it myself, but the ingredients required include vile mushrooms, pixie dust and vertebrae; they are exceedingly rare and only obtainable in the three dangerous biomes. The expeditions to these parts have been canceled ever since a large group of tourists was massacred on one such trip. I'm sorry. Now please, follow me; we'd like to have you examined. You carried the lady to the ambulance, and any contact with the ill might have terrible effects.
But Gerard ignored him; without another word, he turned around and run out of the building.
---------
A plane soon landed in Saint Francis, a small town right on the border with the inhospitable land of Corruption. Gerard came here prepared - he was dressed in camouflage clothing, and had a .700 Nitro Express rifle folded safely inside his military backpack. There was no time to spare; he moved out the very next day. Ever since the tourist massacre it was impossible to find a guide, so Gerard was on his own.
The first few miles were surprisingly safe and easy to get through, yet they quickly got more dangerous. He had to hack the spiky, rotting vines hanging from the trees with his machete to find an opening, but even then they tore through his clothes. The real danger, though, came from the giant flying beasts known as corruptors. Gerard was glad he'd taken that large caliber rifle with him.
Suddenly, he spotted the vile mushrooms growing under a big tree near a poisoned water spring. The air here was especially sickly; the mushrooms emitted an odor that made Gerrard want to vomit. He snatched a few. He was just putting them in his backpack when he heard a creature roar behind him – he turned around, and saw two of the corruptors.
"" he swore yet again.
---------
The next stop was the Hallow. Gerard sat uneasily in the plane, looking at his injured arm bandaged hastily the night before. He barely managed to fight off these creatures, and the next two biomes were said to be even more dangerous.
Once again, he marched off into the wilderness, alone. Hollow seemed a lot more bright and cheerful, yet he knew it was just an illusion. He heard tales of people getting torn to shreds after disregarding a 'cute' unicorn.
Hours passed, yet he still could not find any pixies. Then, he suddenly saw the very woman he was trying to save sitting on a giant rock in the middle of the fairy-tale like forest.
"Huh?" He exclaimed, surprised. "What are you doing here? Has someone else brought you the ingredients needed for your antidote?"
Then he noticed something strange; there seemed to be wings sprouting out of her back. He took out his machete, hacked her head right off and went to collect the pixie dust she dissolved into.
---------
Crimson; the most dangerous of the three. What's worse, the ingredient needed from this biome was vertebrae from a face monster; a giant cyclop feeding on the corpses of the unwary and unprepared. The excess pixie dust sold for a high price; this time Gerard came equipped with a high-grade tactical shotgun.The sky here was permanently red. He had to hide from the Crawlers roaming the land during the day, but at night even scarier monsters woke.
He spent three days without seeing a single face monster. Each day he ventured out a bit further into this inhospitable land; after all, each day the girl was closer to dying. Finally, on the fourth day, he found his pray. The giant was drinking water from a little spring – the perfect moment to strike. He got closer, took out his shotgun, aimed-
and felt a searing pain in his chest. The monster was quicker than Gerard had expected. He fired shot after shot and even killed his enemy, but to no avail; the poison from the creature's fangs soon made him faint.
---------
When he opened his eyes again he was lying in a hospital bed back in his hometown. The doors opened and he saw the doctor enter.
"Who brought me here? I thought I would die back there!" Gerard shouted. But another person entered the room, and somehow muted out the answer. She came closer, and said: "As I was saying, my phone number is 1-833-215-9623”.
"Dad, I just realized you've never told us how you and mom met" George's voice pierced the comfortable silence.
"Really?" Gerard glanced at his son quizzically.
"I'm sure we've told you at some point. Still, I guess there's no harm in repeating the story" He looked at Lillie lovingly.
