alrighty 2010: my car broke down and needed a new engine Every job I've applied for has turned me down if I move I'll lose my work insurance I need a second job to start paying bills (which means less time for my dog) and seems my credit card info was stolen... bank called me last night to cancel strange bills
on the flip side I'll be getting a new card within a week and I'm buying clints car house is almost packed up
finally (not sure if its good or bad) and I'm planning on selling my comics-minatures- and monopolies to make extra cash

So the plan to move is (again) encountering some set backs. My car broke down today (grumble) and I'm having a terrible time finding places that accept dogs. however through it all I am keeping my chin up and my eyes open. I refuse to allow the recent set backs of life to keep me down and out. Aside from moving I have recently graduated (long time coming eh? lol) and yes, I am still single. Though that's still a pain in my arse I'm slowly learning to cope.
ahh well, if life were easy it would be no fun right? =p
oh yea I started writing again =) |

Rain. How long had it been since he felt rain? Or anything for that matter. How long had it been since Kelton had seen anything beyond the wall. Suspended, his body stretched to the breaking point all all hours. The numbing pain had long since passed. Now his tormentor would invent new ways. New horrible ways to feel pain. Sometimes, the waiting was worst. Today he would have no such luck, he heard the footsteps. The door opening behind him.
-Good morning Uncle. -You are no family of mine. -Such cruel things to say to me. I am Queen you know. -I have no recognized you as such. The crown is not yours to take. -Dear Uncle, who is left to take it? One of yours? Those fools will never realize their power.
It had been months since he had seen the faces of his children. His powers were dwindling, but he knew they lived. Perhaps she was right. The powers of Luminari flowed easily through her. Wrath had been transformed into a beacon of power. Now she held him. Alive, to further drain him. She would cut him again this day, bleed him and his powers away. Kelton would no yield to her, though he would see the reaper soon.
-Still unwilling to relinquish your powers to me? -You will never hold the power. I will never yield. -Pity, then I will continue to bleed you. -You know your god will kill you once you have my powers... he will toss you aside for his greed.
His words brought her armored fist to his face. Blood poured from multiple cracks in his lips. The left eye felt as though it had exploded with pain. His words were true, but it didn't matter. He was losing faith.
After she had gone, Kelton turned his head to the one lone window. A cruel constant torture. To see the sky, but be unable to touch it.
-Please. He begged -Please, help me...
A few more days, he had to hold out for a few more days... surely someone was coming to save him. |

The door swung open. Jailor towing his array of keys in one hand and a smirk in the other. It always amused Darknor that there are Angels that torture in the Heavens. -Hello there Darknor. -Prince. He corrected -Forgive me, Prince Darknor. How are you this morning? -The damn light is always there, how is there a difference between morning and night here? The Angel laughed at him as he unlocked the door. It was always a taunt. Darknor knew there were guards waiting for him to try and escape. He would give no such pleasure. -Is it already time for more questions? -Indeed, we wish to know more of your powers and the size of your army. A soft sigh escaped the demon's lips. Would they never learn? He would not break to their methods. Perhaps a demonstration was in order. With a fury he had been saving for some time, Darknor lept forward. His left arm shot out, grasping the Angel's forehead, the momentum carried him from the wall to the far cell. The Angel's body had remained in place. Darknor waited for the guard to come in before he began to drink from the once jailor's head. -Perhaps you should listen better. I told you I will escape and kill you all. But on my time. He went back to his cell and sat down. The guards starred, petrified of him. One managed to gather its wits and slam the door shut, locking Darknor inside. Once they were gone he focused his energy... -Seemore? -Yes my Prince? -Find them... and stop them. If she rises my powers will diminish. -As you will. -Yes.... as I will
*****************************************************************************************************
-When was the last you saw her? -Months ago. Its not like her to just leave without saying anything. -I thought that's exactly what she was like... -You don't know her like I do. -Yea well if she left without us then I guess its time I made me way. -Your leaving Maverick? -Zoro, look around... the castle is crumbling, the land is poisoned.. there is nothing left. She left us. So I'm not staying.
He walked away to the unknown, while Zoro retreated to his cave and his own inner fears.

All was falling into place better than anticipated. Eyes gleamed with anticipation. The avatar war was about to begin |

We sat and talked today, it has been so long since our worlds crossed. "Thank you" he said to me "For what?" "Giving me the chance to live." "I never had control over your life, you know that." "perhaps, but you could have gotten rid of me." "I needed you to be around. You were an escape, an out lit for my own frustrations." "Is that all?" "No. You got to do the things I always wanted, and you had the power to express your self in the ways I can't." "Tell me something." "?" "Why do we do it?" "I'm not sure Maverick. Perhaps because we enjoy the game. Or perhaps we never know when to fold."
He nodded and we shared a drink. It was a good night |

-What happened to you Maverick? I remember... so long ago. You were alive, and kind. You sought to protect the innocent. -I could not live a lie. While I waited on that island, the world was changing. No one would allow them self to get involved unless told to. Those two watched each other but never said a word towards their feelings. I felt suffocated. -So you left and became this? -No first I left, and experienced the world without a guardian looking over my shoulder and editing it for me. After that... after that.... -Yes? -I feel in love... and she walked away from me. -........... -Its been a blur of pain since then. So I keep putting one foot in front of the other. I let life guide me. I fear nothing except not trying. I will not let myself wonder "why didn't I try". Win or lose I try. -But you've strayed so far from the path you once walked. -Yes I have. -Why? -Because I'm alone. We are not meant to walk this world alone. Hand in hand we are to walk with those we trust and call friends. -So why not return to your friends? -You make it sound like I left them... I did no such thing... they left me behind. That's why I stray.... |

slamming into the floor, hurts a lot more than people expect when viewing the bamboo. But its real enough and the pain is real- all to real. "You are not concentrating Maverick." the wrinkled old master scolded. His eyes were narrow from working the fields and gazing, longing at the sky. The few strands of hair that remained served no purpose except to remind how close he played to the edge of oblivion and the truth of mortality. "I know master." "your mind is distracted again." "Yes master." Maverick nodded in agreement, his thoughts recently had been somewhere else. A candle lit room, an uncomfortable mattress and a figure breathing softly next to him. "If you do not learn focus you can never master you your abilities. They will always be out of your reach, and you will never learn your place in this world." The smell of mango and mandarin filled his mind. His grin told the master his response before the elf twirled from sitting- to headstand- to feet in a motion as fluid and gentle as water flows around a stone at the bottom of the stream. "Maverick do you understand me? You will never learn to control your powers unless you focus your mind!" "So?" the grin remained, and his eyes became pure. |

Faith and their relationship with it
"Faith is when we believe in something we cannot prove. I have seen gods and spoken with them. I have seen creation. I have never seen anything more than a concept end. Do I have faith? Hard to say when I've seen almost everything." -Maverick
"Faith is a romantic illusion held by the weak of heart and mind. There is only law that governs." -Blackjack
"Faith is the greatest weapon. Faith makes your mind sharper, the muscles stronger and your will greater." -Sir David Bladelord
"What is my opinion of faith? Those without it lead a sad existence, denying their own souls." -The Eternal
"I have lived for too long to not believe in something greater than everyone I know pulling the strings and planning, always one step ahead of the game." -Zoro the White Dragon Warrior
"I will never let the prayers go unanswered. Though I cannot always fix the problem, I listen to every voice that cries out." -Kelton
"It is the simplest farmer who takes up a pitchfork to defend their home from impossible numbers that inspires me and reminds of what I stand for and who I seek to protect." -Lady Anna
"Faith? Faith is weak, belief is when there is no doubt of faith. I believe in my god, and I believe that his will is my life." -Wrath
"I do not believe or fear the deities. They fear me." -Darknor
"Over the centuries my faith has been tested, and I can truthfully say I am not as pious as many would like to believe." -Kobob
"It has been a fun run. Keeping one step ahead of everyone. To secretly know and gently manipulate from behind the scenes. I must hold to my beliefs that I will make this world a better place." -Song Moonglow
"Faith is an illusion of mortality. Given time all will crumble and fail." -Seemore |

as per a request- on family it will be the same people, so specifics are on a request basis.
"Family are the people who love you, do not judge you. And no matter what you do, or how badly you screw up; will always be there for you." -Maverick
"Family is a concept we have to feel closer to people. Perhaps it is one of the most powerful of bonds, save love. It is a bond I hope to one day share with others." -Blackjack
"I have failed my family twice. When my wife died, and when I failed to be there for my child. I have been given another chance, not only am I lucky beyond anything even Maverick could do; but I will not waste this chance. For my daughter is my inspiration and guiding light. Her unfailing courage and faith... I have never known another to hold such unfaltering values." -Sir David Bladelord
"I pray that my son sees me as a father and not a symbol, I do not hold him to standards the world holds him to. Rather I hold him to the standards I hold any other boy his age. Live your life my child and I will always proud." -The Eternal
"My kind does not protect their clutch. My darker side left me to die. I have adopted others as my family. I will kill any who threaten their well being." -Zoro the White Dragon Warrior
"I have lived thousands of generations. See the rise and fall of countless nations. The suns appear and burn out. The life and death of entire races and people. Fought wars out hundreds of battlefields. I have loved one woman without bounds, had two sons; and lost them all." -Kelton
"My family was poor and gave me to my god at a young age so that I would not starve. I do not hate them, but I wonder what I would have become if I had their influence." -Lady Anna
"I killed my family at the order of my god. I would take my own life were he to say. Family, friends, love, are all meaningless before his will." -Wrath
"I have no family, but were I to have one? I would move the heavens and burn down the gates if anyone tried to take them from me." -Darknor
"My allies are my family. And I require nothing more in life than their smiles, and laughter." -Kobob
"I left my family for a new land. And found a new family. She is my rising and setting sun. Play on fair muse, and I listen." -Song Moonglow
ta-dah! more requests? people you want to hear from? want to hear a story from someone else's perspective? |

so I've been thinking, mostly that no one reads my ranting here so this should work out just fine.
Random thoughts was..... a random thought, on the thoughts of my characters. What they believe or think on certain topics. So I'll drop one of these every week or so...
if there is anyone reading this- what would you like to know?
today's topic- feelings on death.
"When I think of death I don't think of my own, but rather- who am I going to lose next? And how will I cope?" -Maverick
"Life and death are two sides of the same coin. Neither can be fully understood. So accept which end is facing up for you." -Blackjack
"Death is a part of life. Your soul joins anew and is given another chance. Nothing ends, it just continues in a new form." -Sir David Bladelord
"I do not fear death, rather I fear that when mine comes I will not face it with humility and honor." -The Eternal
"I have watched countless lives wither before my eyes. Nations rise and fall. Death dose not affect one like me. Yet death has but to touch one and I fear I will never recover." -Zoro the White Dragon Warrior
"Immortality is the greatest burden I have ever been blessed with. I seek to see her again." -Kelton
"Death approaches all of us. I shall face mine with courage." -Lady Anna
"Death is a means to my ends." -Wrath
"Seek not death, for I shall find you." -Darknor
"Death is only meaningful if you lived with meaning." -Kobob
"Each individual creates its own music. When they die, the tempo merely changes for those they knew, but it never stops." -Song Moonglow
that's all I can think of for now. other people? different topics. I'm open to suggestions |

[Aug. 10th, 2009|08:29 am] |
Maverick woke like so many other mornings; his head ached from the nightmares, his throat was dry and eyelids heavy. The routine was like so many other mornings. Rise, shower, change, groom, eat then head out for the days adventures. But recently a change had been sneaking into his day. When he went to the mirror to shave the mirror smiled back at him. "Good morning Maverick." It is an odd feeling to speak to one's reflection and to be reminded that such things happen, thus, you are not crazy. Still Maverick did not enjoy these conversations with his darker half so a slight mumble was the greeting offered in reply. "What was that Maverick? You know you should stand up straight and answer clearly. That IS how you were taught isn't it?" He grumbled under his breath before replying "Morning." "There we are. See how nice things are when we are civil? How are things going dear boy?" The smile appeared again, stretching freakishly from ear to ear. Of course he knew how things were, he was a reflection not a lost entity. "Fine." "Oh? Dear Maverick you need to learn to lie better to me. My boy you've been having problems sleeping again. To much time for sleep and nothing to occupy your mind?" The laugh was empty and hollow as the reflection glanced towards the empty bed. "Its been like that for much longer than your used to. Poor poor lost boy. I'm sure there is SOMEONE out there who will take pity on you..." Maverick's fist struck the mirror, thousands of cracks did not banish the darkness of his heart, but split it. Thousands of faces starred back at him, all grinning. He was losing control and slipping back into darkness. The fear was so intense a cold sweat was instant. It clouded his eyes and all he could wonder was why... why was he left behind? |

| | state of a-there-ness | ] | no longer going to look for a house. Going to try and get a 6month lease where I'm at, just enough to finish school and a tad bit extra, then I'm going to see what else is out there. I'm tired of my doldrum life. Coming home to Harvey is cool, but its not enough. My friends are moving away or are not around a lot so I'm spending more and more time alone. And its not good for me. I've lived alone, I've been alone. Time to grasp life by the balls and declare myself the dominate one. Once I have my diploma things will change.
In the mean time if they won't let me sign a shorter lease, I'll most likely move back home. Stay with mom for a time. I'm hoping it doesn't come to that. But I have few other options with a dog counting on me.
So that's that. Ta-dah and crap.
Week from Friday is Phantom- then renfaire. The white suit has been cleaned and inspected; ready to go, just need to iron the samurai garb.
In other news: is anyone looking to adopt a dog? I'm finding myself with less and less time to properly take care of Harvey. Any questions or just mild interest let me know. |

| | contemplative | ] | "Good morning young prince." "Morning already? I can never fully understand how you tell if its day or night in this accursed land." "Dear Prince, Heaven is not some foul flame ridden pit you are used to. Here things are kinder and simpler." "Like my guards?" the angelic warden frowned, looked like a puppy trying to growl. No matter how menacing it the dark prince they were still harmless. "I want to continue our conversation." the demon smiled from behind the bars. The fools.... "It shall be as thus: when the dead walk the land. A guardian will emerge. Dark will bond with light and vanquish it. And so the king of death shall retreat. Lore will be hidden again and magic will die." "Yes, well all that has happened. Except Malatar still lives. Perhaps prince you are wrong." "I am never wrong angel. Darknor, is never wrong..."
*********** Often, to clear his mind, Malatar would walk the grounds of Luminary castle. It brought a great sadness to him and returned his mind to the present. allowing himself to focus on the tasks at hand. Yet tonight- no such peace was offered. The war had ended. The Lich's forces were driven back, Darknor remained in his prison. Things would right themselves. Yet something was amiss. Something he couldn't place. He was so engrossed he never heard her approach until the first blow was struck.
********** Blood everywhere, the tiny wizard brought up another spell, trying to buy himself a little bit more time. But his attacker was relentless. The dragon could ignore and reflect most of his spells and with attack he came closer to ending this fight forever. yet Kobob was not with out a few tricks. He loathed to call upon such power. "It is time mage." the assailant taunted. Preferring the simpler form of an elven male, he was allowed full range of the room and his natural dexterity. The mage, easily a quarter his size had no such advantage. "What do you seek Draco?" The smile was all that was needed, his Kobob had starred down demons and gods, and yet this would be his last hour. Silently he promised, he would make: his god, and his friends proud.
********* Her mace battered him over and over. Malatar could hardly summon the will the keep the simplest of spells in his mind. Never had he faced such a foe perhaps the power remained in the weapon... but he could not concentrate. "It ends tonight Uncle. I will take your powers and Luminary will be reborn to a greater power than the world has ever seen. And all for my master." Taking a deep breath Malatar summoned the last bit of his energy- his staff- the symbol of his power and his godliness shattered and scattered across the world. Seven pieces for the seven most trusted. Then the mace fell and darkness came.
********** A twinge of pity his Draco as he looked down at Kobob's limp form. He could have lived and served their cause. Yet what he was here for was now done. He waited for only a few moments longer before a small piece of wood shot through the window and landed at his feet. The raw power rippled through his system. Why should Wrath have all the glory? No tonight Draco vowed he would purge the world.
********** In the heavens- balanced was upset. Rising from his throne he knew it was time. Like the mythical fallen angel- Armos descended to the realm of mortals. It was time to fix things. |

"Why do you do it Maverick?" the question still hangs in my mind. Every time I am alone, I hear it again. over and over. "Why do you do it Maverick?" Sometimes I can answer, other times...
Immortality is one of the greatest curses I have ever endured. Seeing so many friends and lovers pass. Watching the world around me change. Feeling like a leaf caught in the current. "Why do you do it Maverick?"
I've lived for a long time. And I am not yet at the end. Years will pass, decades.. but what do I have to show for it?
"Why do you do it Maverick?"
Why? I to be worth it. |
