The Lost Path Ch. 5

Over the course of the night, he explained to me how vampyres work. How they feed on blood. How they convinced their victims to let them feed. He began to the me the history of how kindred came to be. "Before the Great wars, when the Angels were chosen for the duties they would hold, and before they were immortal, the duty of Death, the power to choose who lives and who dies, was to be given to the Archangel Sauriel. He could not fathom the idea that anyone should hold this power, and he let it roam free. To this day, Death chooses its own, and no one holds that power. He left the angels, and several of the Saraphim followed. From that

The Blood-Intricities

Blood Society and a few intricites of Laws, Basic Nature, and Ability Part One-Why Men Serve. Men serve women for a few distinct reasons. Men on a physical level are most physically capable to serve on some levels, the first and foremost being that women are physically weaker during their period. During this time they cannot use craft and are sometimes, (for stronger witches), debilitated during this time. The second of these being heavy labor, with guarding people and valuables of the court or nation and fighting being equally important. Blood males in the Warlord Prince caste sometimes form symbiotic relationship

The Lost Path Ch. 4

Michael and I had gone out to play pool that night, for just a few hours. Afterwards we went to my house to sit around and chat. We spent some time with my mother, smoking and chatting while Michael told his story. "My parents both died when I was four, so my grandfather on my father's side took me in. My canines were extremely sharp, so he took me to have them filed when I was about seven. My father's side was very wealthy, so money was never an issue. When I turned 18, they arranged a marriage for me. I had never met this girl before, and upon doing so I realized she was a dimwit." While listening to his story, I studied him. He

The Lost Path Ch. 3

I woke up the next day and lay still, contemplating a while on the night before. None of us really trusted Mike, except perhaps Michelle, but she didn't think logically all the time. I was fairly sure I was the only one who had heard her mutter that she would spend the night. Yet the only things on my mind were that kiss, and which of them I felt stronger for. Whom I may forge a viable relationship with. Over the next few days I spent any free time I had with Cheryl. Michelle had seemingly fallen below the radar. I suspected she was trying to play match maker. I am not sad to say it worked. One night, a few nights before Graduation, Whil

The Lost Path Ch. 2

Michael was a striking man of 25. From what the girls had told me he was a friend of Michelle's. Being underage, none of us could buy liquor. So Michelle called mike and he met up with us near the gas station he worked at. He was a manager, so it took him all of five minutes to buy a couple six-packs of Smirnoff Ice. Apple flavored, which was Michelle and I's favorite, and the only thing Cheryl would actually drink as far as alcohol was concerned. So we went back to Cheryl's house and ended up in the living room watching movies while we drank. There was a substantial amount of flirting going around, and at one point, when Michelle had run t

The Lost Path Ch. 1

I had always had the most luck. Both ends of the spectrum mind you.there were times I would be the luckiest of all my friends. Yet others, when I had the worst of anyone I ever knew. It was something I realized, yet never embraced so thoroughly as I do now. The first steps of the journey I still yet walk, all started about halfway through my senior year. Ms. Edmund's Physics class, first period... the bell had just rang, and I Hadn't heard a word spoken all period. I grabbed my messenger bag and my binder, before hustling out the door. I noticed a classmate of mine, one of the only other seniors in my first class, Cheryl. She was walking

A Twisting of Paths and Fates

It's a very thin line I walk. Contemplating how lives tangle, wrapped together in a web, woven of destiny. One pulled, poked, prodded, by the fates themselves. This path I walk, twisted, rough, and now torn, bumps into yours softly, then breaking. At first you seem to be there for me, whenever the path of webs is smooth. The moment a bed of rocks is seen 'round the bend, you always seem to fly away from me. Yet whenever I was lost you found me. It was only next to you I ever slept soundly. I toss and turn, to find you gone. What's worse, you took the covers. Shivering I keep walking. Progress made slow and not quite steady.

Of Gifts and Stars

Of all these gifts you gave me, This vision is the worst. It's clouded with this veil, which I can yet see clearly. All it does is stab, deep into my darkened eyes. you gave me gifts, with which to create beautiful things from others dreams. Yet made me with a star, that could destroy everything with the light of fury, and all the darkness it entails. If it weren't for three stars bright, I'd have lost it all, and more likely than not wasted to nothing by now. the Astari shows the way from within, Andariel keeps the path straight and true, and the third who's name you'll never know, for her name I'll treasure always.

Chemical Attractions

Coursing through my veins, I feel alive, as I have never felt before, What could make me feel this way for you? It. Must. Be... Chemical attractions, can I get in on the action? All these thoughts and words and feelings, burnt into my memory, A chemical attraction, I know it cannot last, Lets just pretend we have no past, If only for one night, if only for this chemical attraction. Sticking to my memory, all these thoughts of things I see, right now, if only for tonight just pretend its only you and me. In. This, Chemical attraction, can I get in on the action, all these words and thoughts and feelings, burnt into my memo

Asphodel Fields

Asphodel, Asphodel, She stands alone and waits for me, No where's home in eternity... the days long past when I saw you last, I'll hold you close, But I don't know how, how do you hold a ghost? The days flew by as i wondered why they went so fast, or why you left like that Standing on the ledge, You're pleading with yourself the things, the things, the things you'll never know. The days long gone when we wandered on, alone, for hours at a time, If only for a little while, it was then, that I could call you mine. One night sweetly I had dreamed of you and me, that we could be together, maybe then you'd see Then t

Deadlier Dreams: Chapter 2

When the door at the top of the stairs finally closed behind me, Em spoke, laughing. "This is going to blow your mind." I waited for Em to continue. I understood that what he had to say was important, at least to him and Gabriel; otherwise, they wouldn't have had to go to such lengths to get me alone. "There's really no way to ease you into this, so I guess I'll just start from the beginning," Em began. "Gabriel started out as my friend, then became my martial arts instructor…now he's my teacher for a lot more than just that. Gabriel is…special. He told me a few mo

Deadlier Dreams: Chapter 1

The pounding in my head…it was unbearable. And not helped, either, by the garbled murmurs I could make out from some distance away. Groaning, I tried to raise my hand to my forehead—only to find it unresponsive. I found I could open my eyes, slowly, but clamped them together against the light in the room. Millimeters at a time, I lifted my lids again, hoping to ease my confusion. The small, bare, windowless room was not as bright as it had seemed at first; in fact, it was rather dark, though I still could not look directly at the standing lamp in the corner without pain shooting through m

This Thing I Dream

It is a story not long ago told, Woven from invisible threads, Told by an impossible bard It is a tale of princes and healers, Or warriors and queens, Of deadly black spiders and deadlier dreams It is nothing I've heard before, But everything I know And nothing I can ever believe It is hidden in the night, Unlocked by the stars, Spoken of by only a few It is friendship and love, Betrayal and loss, Bound by an impossible wish.

The Favor

The oven timer had just gone off when the doorbell rang. Vera's early, Caleb thought, quickly taking the brownies out of the oven. Calling "Just a minute!" in the direction of the front door, he wiped his hands with a dishcloth and hurried to let Vera in. The quick swing of the door was stopped short, however, when Caleb saw the woman standing on the step. "Can I help you?" "Caleb. Hi." The young woman's voice stirred something in Caleb's memory, but she was unfamiliar to him—he was certain he would remember that short burgundy hair, the crooked, unsure smile, the many sparkles dancing off her pierced ears. "I'm sorry," said Cale

Memories in the Rain

That moment Standing in the rain Water pouring down about your face Beauty In monochrome A picture of the world in lace Clearness In all the gray A flash of knowledge like a brilliant light Freedom Among the rain A curtain that’s hiding you from sight Memories Come rushing back Summoned by the gloomy day Reveling In glories past Before they’re quickly washed away

Shadow of a Star

There was a man who wished upon, the Shadow of a Star, He had a hope, a dream, a dare, to travel very far. How funny does the world spin, How queer do lives play out, He met the truth of strife and woe, it was all he could do but scream, and run, and shout. And so the man who wished upon the Shadow of a Star, set out to find himself, but instead in time he came across the path of someone else. Their lives th

Projects.

0 min read

It just occurred to me that not many people follow me on DA, or read my journals. So I could probably write secret messages to the two people (maybe as many as four :O) who actually do. Well, I'm not actually going to do that. I thought about it earlier, but I decided against it.  Anyways, this is sorta for me to get my thoughts in order about the projects I'm working on. I'm sort of working on a couple hundred project right now, but most of them are long term projects, therefore unnecessary to this journal. The short term ones are pretty simple most of the time, but a couple get pretty complicated. One of the projects I'm working on i

I'll be posting a little more now and then until I leave for the Army. My veil keeps opening and closing, like breathing the last years I have left. It's curious how some kindred will stop and look, and others pass by. Hiding helps, but I don't always remember. Being out in the sun makes it harder to hide and me a lot more obvious... I might go to a kindred court meeting (the club they meet in at least) with someone I don't like so much. I'll give him a chance, but he knows nothing about the world beyond the veil. I am happy to find I have seemingly gotten my gifts with water back. Between those, the mark from the court that watches over

There are true things in this world, and there are those we don't wish to see. I wish to see, yet must find my center to open my eyes.    I spent a lot of time on my own over the past months, and even more with people close to me. Training, learning growing, loving, losing, feeling....   I have learned so much, and realized there is so much more to learn. I'm tearing down my walls, one brick at a time. Following my path, one step at a time. Learning my way, but one single letter at a time.  I'll get there, I only have to look on how far I have already come. From the angry little boy I once was, to the young apprentice struggling with s
