After months of screwing them over, after the fifty or so human lives she had taken from them, Cerberus finally had her in their possession.Release in Profiles More Like This

She was gone. The asari had completely vanished. Osirus had attempted to get her to respond, but she was nowhere in sight. Even Anders and Jhun couldn’t spot her over their access to the security panels.
“She’s slipped off-cam,” Anders said. “She’s good at being sneaky, it seems.”
“Dammit!” Terrenus growled. “Find her.”
“There are too many asari, Commander,” the human responded. “I can’t differentiate between them.”
The rust-colored turian shook his head and glanced around, his blue gaze searching the asari as we

Alone With 50 CatsShe lives alone in a creaky old houseAlone With 50 Cats in Free Verse More Like This
No one around but those darn cats
Too many of them
A circus full of chaos
All because she missed out on life
Because she didn't want to get married
Look at her throwing her life away
To take care of the cats
That have taken over her home
She must be so lonely
Doesn't she ever get tired of talking to them
How could she have wanted this
What did she do to deserve this
Surely something must have gone wrong
For her to end up in such misery
Alone, with no one but her 50 cats

I set out to do a chakra balancing meditation one day.I realized how out of balance I was, and how much I needed to focus on my chakras.
I decided to sit in beautiful sunlight, and do the meditation.After I said positive affirmation, then relaxed into another meditation.
In this meditation, an odd thing happened.
From the time I was little, a strange sensation, would come over me--feeling of mystery, power and wonder.I would see strange,short images run through my mind, of an ancient place.
A very large temple of sorts--symbols, writings, altars, etc.
This place was extremely old, and very fascinating; yet I only got glimpse

When they came in, they always came in fast. They skid low across the atmosphere like silvery stones, flushed with coldness and dawn. It seems like they had been coming for a few years now, and perhaps observing for some time before that. We knew what they had been doing for awhile, but due to the scale of the previous conflict their depredations went unnoticed. Unnoticed at least by nations and armies. The inhabitants of a remote farm would go missing. Bandits, of course. A fishing vessel might disappear, just before dawn on a clear calm night. Drift mine, most likely. However, the disappearance of all the human inhabitants from cert

Perfect Criminal, Closest FriendI knew a boy of age fifteenPerfect Criminal, Closest Friend in Free Verse More Like This
The nicest guy I've ever seen
A caring friend, my closest bud
I loved him so, like flesh and blood
We were connected through heart and soul
Without the other, we weren't whole
When we were together, my world was bright
Now that he's gone, I've lost the light
It's more than just another death
Everything crumbled when he left
He stole my laugh, my smile, my joy
He isn't just another boy
To his grave he brought a part
Of me that resided in his heart
My dearest friend, why have you robbed me?
Instead of my smile, wouldn't you prefer money?
A piece of gold, five silver rings
Why do you insist on breakin

Ode to IcariumOde to Icarium in Free Verse More Like This
The lonely Ascendant wanders accompanied
By an indispensable and replaceable friend.
The noble slayer of innocents,
Who makes gods tremble in his lowly wake.
A gentle, peaceful soul
Whose rage makes the world shiver.
He travels infinitely in a finite world,
To discover a truth built on lies.
His companion assists him in his journey,
And keeps it from finding an end.
