Grey cobblestones lined the dirt road leading down the hill, foliage scattered around the surrounding areas.

Mostly because he'd been looking for some adventure for a while now. On his back, he carried an Imperial Bow with a quiver packed with arrows.

The Kingdom of Hungary 1878 – The world is engulfed in Darkness, terror is everywhere and heroes are few. The hope of survival seems impossible for once proud humanity but the faith in their hearts keeps them hopeful that they will soon be freed from the torment that surrounds them. In a small town near a large, dark forest, a man wearing a black suit, black trench coat, Gothic boots and a cloth mask stood facing the forest. The man is known as Ranulf von Kaufmann and he stood with one of the elders, asking about the forest.
'' Vhat lies in the forest?'' asked Ranulf with curi

Chapter 4 – Searching for information
It had been several days after Kira had been freed from her bloodlust; the four warriors were now traveling to a town in southern Romania that may hold information on a power they seek. Ranulf, Severin and Darius had all told of their past experiences and why they were on the quest. She felt complete sadness and sympathy for them; her determination to aid them grew. She wanted to know why she was in a deep slumber for so long and she believed that these three warriors were her best chance to find out but after hearing all the tragedy that had befallen them and humanity, she was a

Believe it or not, in most cases it's the other way around
They stare at you with judging eyes
Assuming proof they have not

They don't try to hide
That they think you're a piece of crap

In some small way

Tiny beads of water
Slamming into the ground around me

I see but a figment of my memory
He is holding me close
Yet forcing me away at the same time
My voice chokes as I try to call out his name
He begins to fade farther and farther away
My eyes well up with tears
That I can't begin to explain
My heart closes in on itself
At the prospect of facing my ghosts alone
In my unconscious mind I feel
My soul stir
I glide away from the outstretched hand
Dancing within my view
My eyes flicker open
Arms encircle me
I feel safe and protected
As I bury my face in his neck
Just like
the old times.....

With no fear.
Just pain.
And every day feels the same.
We can mourn for every man lost.
We simply fill in the gap where he has fallen.
We whisper words that have no meaning.
Only knowing that we may die tomorrow.
A thought that frightens us, as it strengthens us.
So that tomorrow we have will to fight as our lives depends upon it.
For our lovers, and family.
And in the end nothing is left.
But the silver light at the end of the tunnel.......

Unable to find where I belong
You deny the truth
So plain before me
I would not mar your happiness
If my own joy was not destroyed in the process
I cannot voice my fears to you
Lest you deem them silly and childish
I feel this sense of dread
As if I have intruded where I don't belong
Like vital words left out of a Song
Is it so wrong to feel this sense of loss and defeat?
When we were not so grown-up
When things were simple...
This sense of longing
This feeling of replacement never pricked at me
When your own view is blinded by your pride
Use you eyes and see these emotions
Fueling the heart of my Song to you

The Anger
The Pain, all feel the same
Sometimes I just want to give in
And scream out what's been bottled inside
Tired of being talked down to
As if I'm a lesser being
Tired of being told what to do
As if I'm your slave
Sick of burying my heart's sorrow
In my poetry
Is it time
My friends?
To flick the switch off
On my life?
Or should I let this go?
Keeping yet another secret locked up inside
Just say the words
I am ready to blow out the candles on this pitiful life

It happened that it was one of the last great celebrations the province might have for a while, so the people were doubly excited for the event.

Laughter Incarnate Part IIOnce the jester was downstairs in his little sanctuary, he shut the door behind him, and left it unlocked. The silence was maddening as he looked around at all of his things he'd collected over the years, all jammed inside the room.

Most weaboos are uneducated about their obsession of choice and are often noobs who are overly zealous, trying to impress others with their otaku knowledge. Another trait of a weaboo is their desire to "be Japanese".

He floated up, up into the clouds, and came almost to space. Close. So close. He reached up, feeling the warmth of the stars contrasting with the calming coldness of the void that was space. Suddenly, he stopped, the fabric ceasing to flutter. It was as if time had frozen, but he could still think, and look around. All of a sudden, there was a rushing of air around him, and a horrible feeling deep in his gut. He looked down, the ground coming closer and closer to him.
