It Went Without Saying

A Tale of Political Justice It wasn't unfamiliar territory for an Agrandian to be walking in, as they had held an alliance with the Persuvians for thirty decades to the day. However, it seemed as foreign as the surface of the moon to Deravi, the former Grand Vizier of Agrandi, for he now walked the halls of the beautifully designed palace as the newly installed Prime Ministrar to his home country, and as such walked with new responsibilities to complement his bolstered personality. The present setting is in the palace of Persuvia, the most regal of the twenty one palaces built in the major cities throughout the land. This particular palace

The Only Kiss on Earth by deadlyMETAL, literature

The Only Kiss on Earth

"A posh dinner party is the last thing I expected to be doing on a Saturday night," Mandy spoke timidly, gazing about the room wide-eyed, avoiding the looks of the young men scattered about the room. Allison stood in front of her and grinned, looking out over all the men whose attention seemed to be fixed on the two young ladies. Mandy couldn't help but feel as though they were all staring at her rather than at both of them, and turned her blushing face away to ensure she wouldn't find out if that were true. "Yeah, and I'm sure it was the last thing you'd expected to be doing on any night!" She tipped her champagne glass gently to taste the

The White Shadow. by deadlyMETAL, literature

The White Shadow.

What news comes over the wind today? They say I'm the "White Shadow"? Yes, I suppose I'm fitting of that title. It's better to be known for your clothing than for your face in this line of work. This will be the only testament to my existence I will ever leave, besides the deaths I cause. I am an assassin of the brotherhood. The people have chosen to refer to me as a shadow, and it is most fitting they do so. After all, I move about cities without so much as leaving a piece of straw loose in its heap, nor do I disturb the dirt on the paths winding about the many structures that have become my jungle, my maze. Let it not be a surprise. Many

Anonymity. by deadlyMETAL, literature

Anonymity.

The fortified walls of Acre, dilapidated in both architecture and the general populous, shielded the inner districts from climbing out of their unending descent into a hole of poverty and starvation. The outside world was kept out physically and visually, preventing the street dwellers and monks from ever hoping for assistance in their various plights. The only portal in or out of the city was the narrow front gate, which was never closed. That is to say, the gate was never seen down, but the patrols of guards did a superb job substituting the iron door. On occasion, some were granted leave through the exit the well-guarded gate, and were ne

Crusader Victorious. by deadlyMETAL, literature

Crusader Victorious.

On a road between Jerusalem and Damascus, veering westward through a settlement nearer to Masyaf, a trio of men, traders by day and connoisseurs of wine by night, made their oblivious journey to their homes outside Masyaf. One of the men was a great deal wealthier than the rest, though this still afforded him a lower-class status among the people of the city. However, his fortune brought the three friends many a bottle of new spirits to taste. His ways seemed impervious to the ebb and flow of the market, always bringing more to the table than the rest no matter how poorly the trading went that day. "I find it inconceivable to believe that yo

You Wished on a Star For Me. by deadlyMETAL, literature

You Wished on a Star For Me.

You wished on a star for me. A cold night couldn't keep me from her. It really couldn't. Snow drifting, winds pounding against the car doors, and yet nature still hadn't knocked me off the road. How, I don't know. Maybe because something out there knew that I wasn't going to let something as pesky and commonplace as mother nature get in my way like in all those fairy tales we heard as kids. Nature couldn't stop this hero from reaching his destination. So mankind did. I swear I was only a few miles from her house and yet, that bloody powerline pole stood at the side of the road, minding its own business just at the wrong time. The blac

Camp NaNoWriMo, August sesh + Writer's Dedication. by deadlyMETAL, journal

Camp NaNoWriMo, August sesh + Writer's Dedication.

Jul 30, 2011

It is starting in a couple days. This'll be interesting to say the least. Story premise: Erm.... Official Goal: 50k words by Wed Aug 31. Personal Goal: 50k words by Mon Aug 15, 75k words by Wed Aug 31. Realistically, I'll only write as much as is needed to cover the story, but yeah, I'd like to shoot for something higher than 50k. It just didn't seem to contain my first novel enough, so 75k it is! I can't make another post about Camp NaNo without mentioning the guy that started me on this mental journey: ~b4k4-san (https://www.deviantart.com/b4k4-san) b4k4-san (https://www.deviantart.com/b4k4-san) is a real writer, who puts his time, effort, and creative energies into his works. His ideas are genuine,

I'm Doing This Writing Thing Now.

Jul 19, 2011

I'm doing this writing thing now. 'Cause I'm writing a novel for Camp NaNoWriMo, and it keeps my creative juices flowing to do short stories when not writing chapters for the novel. So you can read those here now. -- In other news, I'm learning Arabic! This is fun so far! Trying to understand the conventions of writing it though. I can read the letters and I know maybe five words, but hey, it's a start. -- I'm still in college, so I'm offline a lot. I still slack like I used to, but nowhere near as much as I used to. I do all kinds of stuff now, but it all boils down to one thing: I'm always learning something new. In class, out of class

And 1 Year Later....

Feb 17, 2011

....Well, hello again, deviantART. It's been a while. Goodness, I just happened to jump on here randomly for the first time in over a year after seeing a friend's dA page. ~b4k4-san (https://www.deviantart.com/b4k4-san) to be exact. And how do I even remember the syntax to show a person's icon? Anyway, it's been a while since I've gone under the monicker "deadlyMETAL" though "dM" is still an acceptable reference for close friends. :D I've been going by my popularish online handle and musician name "Clyde Machine" for a pretty long while, but my Twitter account still thrives at @deadlyMETAL86. So! I don't keep this updated anymore 'cause I'm a musician. Not an artist. I do
