Just something I wanted up...

This is just something I wanted up here... It was unnamed... but it's the longest piece I've ever written... and I think it deserves to be up here...

A Alternate version of the Transformation from Human to Chronian

That day shall cross my thought for an eternity… This world was peaceful… Life was just dreaming of another world… of my wildest fantasy come true…. Of Destiny as my heart and soul had told me… yet somehow in one night… that would all forever change… with just a simple flash in the sky… The dream that made my life came to an end… for this was no longer just a dream. As another day went by… nothing was different, out of the ordinary. Then I saw it… a strange light coming from the sky, and no sooner did it fade came the violet spheres of energy, hurdling down from the heavens and crashing against the ground around me. The earth quaked beneath me, and I was thrown aside from an upheaval in the ground. The moment came and I was able to flee… Before the next barrage, I turned around to the ruins in front of me as Fate came crashing down that night… The clouds were torn apart and my aggressor was revealed. Massive ships floating in the sky, and with the spinning of machines, a purple glow resonated from the massive giants in the sky. I did the one thing left on my mind… I ran like hell… Millions of lights came down to the earth, both white and purple like tears in the night as I fled from what would be my slaughter…Soon more of this energy was hurdling towards me. Not from the sky, but from behind me. Fear floods my mind, and in the deepest darkest corner of my mind… I was excited… for somehow I realized that this might be the beginning. The only question was… of my salvation, or my destruction? What little time I had to my advantage was running out… The more I ran the more I believed I was facing death… there was no change in me, no new feelings other than the exhaustion and fear from the incursion behind me. There was no Magical transformation… no… it would seem that my fate would be at the end of a blaster… As what hope I had faded… I slowed down… this is where my end would be… my dreams shattered, and my will broken, I stopped and awaited the wave of death hurdling towards me… I turned around to face my ruin, and as these strange men came closer towards me… they raised their weapons… and fired… I watched as the spheres of energy closed in and await my bitter end… Then something happened… something that I would never have expected to happen… A light flashed in front of me… and I fell backwards, almost blinded from the blast of light in front of me. I opened my eyes fearing death had consumed me… yet to my shock this was not the scene before me… I was still alive... somehow, unscathed. I stood up and looked around… The men, the ships, even the beams of energy… everything was frozen! It was if time had stopped moments before… I was puzzled… and as I turned around… It couldn’t have been… but it was… everything came into place… There before me was all the meaning, all the purpose in my life… the Sword that forged my dreams... and crafted my destiny… The Blade of Dreams, Shi Te'ku. I was frozen, as if its power had stopped me with my adversaries… This was my reason to live, to dream, to fight… It was beautiful… more beautiful then I had ever dreamed… A Silver Blade with a series of Crimson Gems running the length of the sword. Upon the Blade was a Crimson Hilt etched with ancient Chronian Runes. In the center of the Hilt was a strange Stone… it appeared to be nothing but an obsidian rock, but only I knew the true secret that lies within. I looked upon the blade… It was as if I was staring at destiny… My mind raced for an eternity, and every second seemed like an eon… I knew now… this was my time… I slowly reached out for the blade… every moment my hand came closer to its grip, a strange feeling passed through me… warmness. I finally clasped my hands around its Hilt and glared directly into the Black center of the hilt… as soon as I gazed upon it, the stone split down the middle and opened revealing an emerald eye very similar to the color of my own eyes. I glared into the eye, not surprised by its existence, and it glared right back at me delving deep into my soul. This was the moment I had been waiting for all my life, and then it came, the end of my story… I raised the sword to the sky, and I felt a surge of energy, my eyes turned a deep red, as did Shi Te'ku’s ever watching eye. I could feel it all returning to me.... everything made sense. I could feel myself rising from the ground. Soon it was surging throughout my body… I was changing. I could feel myself becoming something completely new, yet at the same time, I felt like I was returning to the way I used to be. Memories raced through my mind. Ideas, thoughts, and dreams I have never conceived now became my own. A pair of wings burst from my back, and I could feel my own mind changing with this… The light receded and I landed on the ground. A winged entity… no longer the human that I used to be… no longer waiting for my destiny… I was no longer the dreamer… I became the ChronoHawk… Keeper of Dreams… Lord of Chronia I became… Hawk Dynedockia… the Master… of Time. I could feel the power surging through me… I knew what I had become… I drew my blade, and fixed my eyes upon the enemy in front of me. I knew the outcome… and positioned myself, ready to fight now… and with a mere thought, I released the grip I had on time, and return it’s flow to normal… The men staggered, as if they realized the moment they had skipped through. Looking upon their target… yet as soon as they realized what had happened, I could sense their feelings of surprise, of astonishment, and of the horror. Not knowing what to do, some of them fired upon me, I brushed the blasts aside, as if it was a barrage of common rubber balls. I closed my eyes for a moment, and raised my hand towards them, and then felt something… something unnatural... I could feel the adrenaline coarse through my veins, and a fire burned in my eyes… it was anger, an anger so great that I could feel the rage swelling inside me… the betrayal of my brother, of the corruption Fate cursed him with. All of these memories I had passed through my mind all at once… The Fire exploded in my heart, and I lost control… I could hear myself howl in the night as I dashed toward my foes… I raised Shi Te'ku and heard the screams of these men as I attacked... After approaching my first enemy, I made a forward slash, severing him at the torso. With unparalleled speed I sprung at the next victim; again, I slashed at the next soldier, slicing him in two…I shouted again, as I’d thrust my hand through the body of another soldier and ripped out his spine. The Cries of dying men echoed in the night, and I could feel the anger surging through me. My vision became blurry and I blacked out, all I could do was hear the screams of men, the splitting of bones and the sound of metal slicing through flesh. It was all too easy… I finally regained my sight, and looked around. What I saw was devastating. All around me where corpses, heads detached from their bodies rolling down the road from the wind in the night bodes defiled in the most excruciating ways. Piles of limbs, torsos, heads, and organs filled the road. I felt the blood that had splattered on my face from the battle… no this was no battle… not now it wasn’t… the tables had drastically turned… this was a massacre. Looking upon one of the bodies not mangled or ripped apart, I removed the armor from the broken man… yet to my surprise, and yet relief, these were not men. The skin was a bluish color, fangs decorated its jaw, and its eyes a bright yellow… These bodies belonged to Fate’s Demons, not men of Chronia. I had not killed my own people… I panted, still trying to overcome the encounter I had just experienced. I began to gather the corpses, and as I piled them on high, I was hit with another barrage of the familiar purple disruptors. I shielded myself with the body I had in my hand, and I watched as it burst apart all over me. I looked above to see the massive ships, towering over me. It was a pity that these beings still tried to fight, but I knew what I had to do… I slowly began to run… run towards the gigantic monoliths in the sky. As I ran, my speed began to increase, I felt myself running faster and faster… faster than any human had ever run, or ever would. I ran so fast that I could barely see the landscape passing me by… and at the peak of my speed, I leapt, spreading my wings and flapping them in the wind. The ground grew smaller and smaller as I soared to the heights of the Juggernaut in the sky. Using my Chonotomic abilities, I slowed down time, knowing the barrage I would receive in a mere moment. With a mere though time began to slow, the blaster turrets, already beginning to spin seemed to almost slow down, I braced for the attack as I approached the first ship. Very slowly, shots came out of the spinning turrets; fortunately I was able to dodge the blasts as I sliced through the base of the guns. Not wasting time, I stopped and focused…. Glaring at what appeared to be the eyes of the monster. I held Shi Te'ku in front of me, as all of the remaining weapons on board the ships targeting me… I still remained where I was, floating before them, Shi Te'ku at my face. Then in a microsecond explosions ripped across both ships! They began falling to the ground, considering their graviton generators were destroyed by the blasts I’d guess. As they fell the ships began to almost slide apart… as if it were cut! One could guess at how this could have happened, but I know the secret of the tale. The Ships hit the ground exploding at impact; I felt the wind surge by as if it we’re spirits being released from a curse. I dropped to the ground and slowly began to walk… walk away from the carnage behind me… it was over… and I was victorious. As I walked… I thought of the other memories that Fate took from me… Our father, our people… and my precious Chronia… Oh! How I longed to return to her! I came upon a massive rock and hopped on top. The stray blasts had destroyed so much… trees we’re broken, homes destroyed… people injured and killed… I looked beyond the void left behind by the demons and gazed upon a rising sun… As its light raced across the plain I realized something… This power that I have regained… it is both special and unique, but I must re-learn to apply it, for if I lose control, the repercussions could be cataclysmic… I watched as the sun slowly raised to the sky… my tattered clothes drifting in the wind. Shi Te'ku in my right arm pointed at the rock beneath me. My Wings spread in the air, swaying in the morning breeze. This was the beginning of Destiny… it had finally come. I faced a greater evil now... as I stared at sun, I saw the image of my brother, twisted and corrupted now… I then jumped off the boulder and slowly walked away from my brother… I would encounter him soon enough… It was over… for now.

A New Age... Part Four

I haven't written much for a while... After losing something I thought up while talking to Angelina (Damn you DeadAIM!) I did manage to write a new poem for A New Age... I'm pleased with what I could think up in 5 minutes time... ^_^ It's not finished cas I'm tired (it's 11) but I'll get it done soon...
*UPDATE* Done! ^_^

A New Age: As The Hourglass Falls...

We join hands again in a familiar place…
And bid farewell to a leaving class…
But joining us now is a brand new face…
With unknown thoughts that will come to pass…
Lovers reunite… and friends meet again…
And newcomers find their way to our door…
We wait and we wait for the moment of when…
They can tell us some stories… and share with our lore…
We stand ready facing a whole new age…
With new friends to make, and new heights to climb…
It all begins with the turn of the page…
And the shifting of sands… in the chapters of time…
Time has taken us apart…
And time again brings us together…
But as the pessimistic say…
Nothing ever lasts forever…
The hourglass continues to fall…
There isn’t too much left you see…
Already people are hearing the call…
And starting the path to destiny…
It is joyful to see the familiar faces…
It is painful to know that it will not last…
And to know we will be in different places…
But now I can say… that it’s been a blast!
You’ve opened my eyes in a whole new way…
You’ve let me see the goodness in you…
My spirits are high on this wondrous day…
And I’m writing again… as I always do…
So what lies ahead in this brand new year?
Who will step forward and answer the call?
Who will fall backwards and drown in their tear?
As they sit back and observe the hourglass fall…
We’re all moving together… till the road splits apart…
And the crossroads we pass through set our separate ways…
We’ll all treasure these moments inside every heart…
A memory to last for the rest of our days…

Anyway I do have something I'd like to put up... although she's probably gonna get mad at me for putting it up... It was just an away msg... Although very depressing, I think she has some real potential... If anyone who's reading this sees her in the Hall, please tell her that Cas she won't listen to me!!! X_X Anyway, here it is... and I am impressed Elyssa...

Unnamed Away Message
by Elyssa Aurbech (sp?)
I feel myself drifting
Further from reality half the time
I don't know myself at all
Part of me doesn't even want to
I feel confused and alone mostly
I guess you could say im starting to give up
Very slowly this world is disappearing

It's just a start, but I think she has a lot of potential... SO TELL HER THAT!!!!
