Welcome to the third part of my brainy ninja series. Since the second part didn't worked out as expected, i felt the obligation to make a third one.
As before you have to decipher an encrypted key (XXXXX-YYYYY-ZZZZZ), this time it's a key for Company of Heroes.

Here are your hints:

XXXXX:
01:
In the vastness of space,
which I like to embrace,
a bird sings a song,
but he got it all wrong.
01:
I live here all alone,
buried under this stone,
my hair dripping with ink,
while looking at this throne,
which is my antarctic zone,
needing more time to re-think.
01:
The stone finally blooms,
filling more than ten rooms,
hiding closets and fears,
but disaster still looms,
I can smell it fumes,
even after many years.
01:
The bird touches the sky,
flaming arrows arise,
becoming my only ally,
everything has a price.
01:
Hearing thunder and drums,
hearing trumpets and crawls,
getting the last recalls,
tearing down the first walls,
picking up the last crumbs.
10:
I keep sitting still dumb,
painting pictures with coal,
loosing faith on this pole,
knowing I'm out of plumb.
01:
I live here all alone,
buried under this stone,
my hair dripping with ink,
while looking at this throne,
which is my antarctic zone,
needing more time to re-think.
10:
I think I annoyed you enough,
I know this puzzle is tough,
but please give it a try,
ask questions don't be shy,
maybe you'll become a wise guy.

YYYYY

Z Z Z Z Z

I give you an additional hint, you may need this site at some point.

As always good luck and have fun!

Time for some additional hints:
XXXXX: The actual content of the "poem" doesn't matter.
YYYYY: You need something from your desk to solve this.
ZZZZZ: The way is the goal.

and some more hints:
XXXXX: It's the scheme that counts.
YYYYY: The chests mark the regions you have to look.
ZZZZZ: There are short and long ways.

Just checked and someone took the key.
I don't know who it is, but he seems to be a sneaky ninja.

Ha ha, I just figured out the Xes and the Ys. The Xes are quite clever, but the Y picture is just brilliant. :D

Congrats to whoever figured it out first!

Hi ! I found it yesterday... First I found the YYYYY, then the ZZZZZ, then, much later, the XXXXX ! Thank you so much badtemper, this is my very first win on steamgifts, also the game seems very good so far, it's been a while since I had not played a strategy game. It feels even more rewarding to play it after having earned it. So far I haven't contributed a bit in here (no moneh) but when I can I'll make sure to give you guys a hard enigma time... I found it yesterday after the site went down, when it happened I had all figured out except for the poem but I had written down the pattern on a piece of paper... AABB AABAAB AABAAB ...

Congrats! I think CoH is one of the best strategy games out there. I'm happy you had fun solving the puzzle and playing the game.
