Twi brought his water filled hands swiftly to his face, letting the cold liquid trickle down his cheeks. He inhaled, and then exhaled heavy, gripping the sides of the porcelain sink in the excessively pampered house of Nova. He tightly shut his eyes. His grip relaxed as he mumbled possibilities and plans under his breath. He reached for a towel and wiped his face.
"You could let me have a whack at that wacko." Said an androgynous voice from the empty bathtub. Twi jumped; momentarily surprised that he wasn't alone. He realized how rare an occurrence THAT was and walked

I like to think that sometimes
Dreams could be so true
That all my thoughts
And all the clocks
Would trace right back to you
Fairy tales often lie
And people often cheat
Like a small caught animal
All we get is beat
But I see a future at which at hand
This isn't always so
And though my hope
Is hard to grope
Of the future I do not know
A heart can be broken
Be taken above
A heart can be devastated
When nothing is left to love
But the world is vast
And the universe is wide
The distances grow
The paths unknown
But hold your head up high
It may seem like a fake belief
And life is out to cause you grief
But I have seen

Twi looked over the chessboard with concentrating eyes and furrowed brows. He bit down harshly upon his fingers, winced and pulled them out of his mouth. Twisting his lips he reached over and lifted a white piece and set it down on the other side of the board then picked himself up and transferred to the other side of the table.
"I don't know how this is improving your game, you're playing against yourself." Said Max, who was leafing through a magazine and peering at his albino adversary who had the same fixed gaze upon the board once more, but now for black.

"Sir? Do you find me… expendable?"
The man stopped his actions and turned his head to the questioning voice behind him. He had never had to deal with such an absurd and personal question, especially not at this time of day- it was late at night and he was preparing his work for tomorrow and getting ready to close up. Nevertheless, the voice beckoned him to answer, and those tired, stressed blue eyes stared at him, anticipating a reply.
"Ah well…" he began, setting down a bag of freshly scooped coffee beans he was just getting done with wrapping. "Why do you ask?" he retorted- trying to learn more about this mysterious being faci

The capitol of the mighty nation of Zethuras was Osilgrad. Though foreigners often thought of it as such it was not a city, it was in reality a castle, one of the largest single fortifications in the world. It was from here that the Tsar, the Warrior King, ruled the nation with absolute authority. Every man, woman and child in the kingdom regardless of rank, wealth or station swore their undying fealty and obedience to the crown in return for order and stability.

In one of the bedrooms of a mansion built in a forest, a four year old boy slept. The boy's name was Zephyr and he was like any other boy his age except for one thing. He was a Draconian, half human-half dragon, like both of his parents, all the other residents of the mansion and at least half the world's population. Draconians were distinguished from humans by being taller, having slitted pupils, fang like canine teeth, sharp talons on their feet, long reptilian tails and a colored triangular mark under each eye. Zephyr's eye markings were a

Of all the races that inhabit our world, none inspire so much curiosity as the elves. Perhaps it is because they are so much like we humans, and have been living along side our people for so long. But surprisingly, not many people can claim to have knowledge of our brother race, something I shall attempt to remedy in this journal. Elven civilization has existed for as long as that of humans. Most elven cities however, are located deep in the forests of the world, surrounded by groves of the sacred melleryn trees.

It was a clear summer's day in the nation of Zethuras. A nine year old draconian boy named Zephyr was walking through the woods with his Dragon Guardian, Bixton or Bix for short. Zephyr was on the tall side for his age, and had soft copper colored silk on his head and tail. He had bright, sapphire blue eyes with matching facial markings beneath them and wore simple baggy trousers and a blue sweater that was just a bit too big for him, he also carried a short sword at his belt though he had little training as a warr

It's not a forgery,
It's not anywhere similar to theirs,
It's not that way at all,
There was one witness
Who would not speak,
Who would not prove it,
The thief got away,
The clear injustice,
The blatant piracy,
Turning a blind eye,
Making them face away,
To hide their own shame,
To hide their cloned face,
To hide the abomination
They know they were created as.

It was a crisp autumn evening. The sun was shining bright orange like a golden ember inside of the hearth; its last bits of warmth touching the Zethuran landscape like a soft blanket. As the sky began to darken and the morning star began to shine up in the sky to the east, a strange creature was sitting in the boughs of a tree; half asleep in the sunset's warmth.
He was known amongst the local population as a Draconian: A creature that was half human being, complete with the soft skin and disposition for adven

Zephyr sat on his bed, looking out at the forest. A new set of covers; red, like the strawberries outside; had been laid out on the bed and the tatters of the old ones were being cut up and remade into quilts and some old dishrags. Zephyr didn't care; he was too busy thinking about what he had heard in the tavern.
"Dinner's ready," Onya said as she poked into Zephyr's door.
"I'm not hungry," Zephyr replied.
Onya slipped into the bedroom. Gripped in her hands was a copy of one of her mom's cookbooks; the big,

Resist the urge to cry aloud

Chilling pleasure through my veins
Don't let up, pull on the reins
Hate and love are all the same
Put into blood, my favorite game
Doing drugs is old, far lost to the past
Cutting is so much more fun, with the scars to last
To deal with things that cause you pain, that you can't amend
Just do what I fin'ly took to and cut with the best of 'em.

After many weeks of travel across the desert, Dracona, Johnna and Mattias had arrived in the town of Garlend in the plains of Orlion. They bid farewell to the Sammite tribe and set about preparing for their journey further north. As they walked into town Mattias admired his brand new short sword, he had asked Johnna to teach him how to fight during their journey across the desert. The boy had added a bit of muscle to his frame so he didn't look so thin.
