To Soar Into the Sunset Ch 17
A Quick and Stupid Glossary Hola. I got some questions from people about some of the phrases and also the terms/names for dragons. So here is a quick and dirty glossary. I figured I would have this for the various stories I wrote and update it. So you'll see some things in there from upcoming fanfictions as well. This is divided into 1) Norse phrases, 2)Viking terms, 3) Dragon terms and 4) Sarmatian terms NORSE/VIKING LANGUAGE PHRASES- this is based on Icelandic, which actually has changed very little from the original Viking Norse. I put in how to pronounce them, too, but though linguists believe the grammar remains close ...

Chapter 6 Revised- Upon Black Wings
The raven flew against the wind, beating the breezes with his strong wings. His pitch feathers ruffled as he dived and spun, trying to be rid of his emotions and troubles. He tested the elements, flying through the ice cold clouds and rain. It did not bother him. He was above the elements, he could control them, weaken them. What did he have to fear?
I fear myself... The raven, startled by his own thought, lighted in an oak tree overlooking his mansion. Through the enormous balcony window, he could see Elle as she forced open the door, slammed it, and sprinted to the bed, tears flowing down her cheeks as she threw herself upon it. The rav...

Soullessness: Part 26
Two years later. Twinleaf Town was pretty in the winter, just as wonderful as it was when Dawn was a little girlthat was one thing about the scenic charm of Sinnoh. It never really changed too much and still held the same bookish, fairy tale loveliness that Dawn remembered growing up with. She never wanted to leave this place again. It was here that she was born, deep in the recesses of the rowan trees, climbing up them in the balmy summertime with Lucas and plucking leaves to weave into crowns and chainsand it was here that she decided to remain. Her Pokemon journey was long over with. She had never achieved her wish to defeat the Elite...
Le Morte d'Artorius Reconciliation with the Heart Having decided to join Sir Perceval to restore Britannia from his son Medraut's tyranny, Artorius knew it wouldn't be an easy task. For one thing, Medraut had surrounded himself within a multitude of defenses both man and fortification so getting to him directly without obstacle was not an option. It would take no short than storming Camelot itself to reach him and that was a feat that had never been accomplished even before Medraut's reinforced modifications to the castle. Another fact was that Medraut's forces were spread throughout the country, controlling various regions with an iron gr...
Funerals tend to be somber affairs, but this one proved to be ultimately depressing. Perhaps it was ever so gloomy because there were two deaths to mourn, or maybe because of the particular people that died.
It wasn't a member of my family that had passed away, nor was it any of my close friends. In fact, many of the guests weren't particularly close friends with the deceased, but they, like me, thought that this was a loss that needed to be mourned. And that was the truth, they would be missed. Even now, as I gazed into the caskets, I searched through my memories of them. I had met Alice first. She had been assigned to my first class of t...

Mega Man SF: HD Takeover 4
The next day, school resumed like normal. Jack was absent from class, so his seat was empty. It's been four days since the strange attack by Taurus Fire in Wilshire Hills, and even so Bud Bison hadn't returned to class as well. Geo hadn't heard anything from A. C. Eos and the Satella Police. But knowing Ace, Bud was probably in capable hands, being taken care of by a good friend of his from the Meteor G and Dealer incident. The class bell rings, and the students rise from their seats.Now departing the building, Geo is alone with Zack Temple and Luna Platz, a bit silent than the two who were only talking with each other.

Mega Man SF: HD Takeover 5
"Who are we?" the man sneered and pushed Mega Man down to the ground with his right hand so that the boy would stop moving. Then he raised his scythe and grinned. "You're executioners." And as quick as his sharp tongue, his just as sharp scythe was brought down instantly.Mega Man's eyes widened. In a flash, he saw what he believed to be his entire life playing before his eyes. He was a shut in since the disappearance of his father, Kelvin Stelar. It was Omega-Xis, the FM-ian runaway at the time of their meeting, that changed his life after the EM Wave Being forced Geo to become Mega Man. It was because of Omega-Xis that Geo made friends li...
Dan and I arranged for a quick meeting. At first. He is a soft spoken, but very passionate man. He only looks 25, as most vampires do, but he exuded this aura, thick with the ages. He had blood red hair, and a similar color of eyes, which all Romanov vampires have. I actually got in touch with him 2nd of the group, but he asked his interview be held off until I had gotten the rest. We did have a brief conversation in which explained a little about where to find his children. But now it has finally his turn to be interviewed. He wore a neat and tidy tuxedo. I meet with him first in the streets of New York, and arranged to meet him at his ho...

APH: GerAus: The Music
The music was more upbeat than usual. His skilled fingers danced over the piano keys at such a speed, it was any wonder he didn't mess up. Not as though it was possible for him to hit a wrong key in the first place. No matter the order Roderich's fingertips grazed the white or black keys, it sounded beautiful.He looked so at ease when he played the piano, which was quite contrary to normal. As he moved his hands in such rhythmic motions, it seemed as though he was in control of everything. He felt at peace. His soul lied within the melody of the music he created, or the music that he perfectly replicated-perhaps made even better. Th...

The crowd on the roof was caught in silence, staring at Kujoh who put away his Hunter-VG. "That's a corny name, you know that?" Luna broke the silence with harsh words, and a bead of sweat slid down Kujoh's cheek. "Couldn't you have come up with a better name?Kujoh looked up at Ace with a semi-glare, while the older man responded with a sort of "I-told-you-so" look. Letting out a sigh, Kujoh rubbed the back of his head and opened his mouth."I think it's a cool name!" Sonia blurted out, saving Kujoh the embarrassment. "If we'll be fighting for Earth, then it's like we're fighting for the sake of everyone's wishes! Sort of like shooting star...
All I ever wanted was to find love.Is that too much to ask? Perhaps it was, as despite the countless time I have consulted the Cards, the Lovers have only appeared but once and I made a terrible mistake with the interpretation. The cards have never been kind to my love-life, no matter how many times I beg and plead to the Goddess. Perhaps it is my curse, my terrible burden, my cross to bear for the horrors I have inflicted, the terrible mistakes I have made.I do not know why I write this terrible, but brief memoir, but I fear I may not have much longer upon this earth. Each day, as always, I consult my tarot cards, but the once again, the ...

Percabeth- Getting back on the Wagon 2
Hello again.
Disclaimer: I have never written an actual book before, so naturally I don’t own Percy Jackson.CHAPTER TWO: MOTHER DAUGHTER ISSUES Percy woke up screaming Annabeth’s name. In his dream they were in Tartarus again, and when he didn’t feel her next to him, he panicked and woke up. He simply sat in his bed panting for a moment, while his heart slowed to its regular beat. He stumbled out of his room, blinking at the light shining through the hallway windows. Sunlight still felt alien to him. Annabeth ran down the stairs and nearly ran into him.
“Percy! You’re awake! I thought I heard you….”
“Yeah sorry about that I just...

The blank boy and Dull girl
The Diary of the Blank Boy.
The acrid smell of cigarette smoke curled its way into my already irritated throat. There was a slight tingling in my chest as my body seized up in preparation to cough. I choked it down, gagging in disgust. I did not want to disturb the silence that had become the cradle of my existence. I could see the small mound of glowing red on the floor some ten feet off that was all the remains of the cigarette she had been smoking. The airborne toxin swirled up and into the darkness, as white as the wings of angels.
I licked my lips, and immediately regretted the action and once again fought the impulse to gag. The tast...

Dear Wishing Star,It's never easy to love someone. The feeling is as natural as it is for you to blink in the sky and feel your inner glow shine through to the world. I find myself alot of the time falling in love and constantly using the phrase 'I wish.' Since you're the only one who listens to wishes, I concluded you're the one to talk to. You've probably been inundated with my constant musings so much that my thoughts are making me a regular to your presence. In fact, it was just a couple of nights ago that I actually stuck my head out the window and caught a glimpse of you in the sky in the wee hours of the morning. You were flashing w...
