It's been...... forever.

    A very wise woman advised me recently to keep writing and to start getting my works out there. So, here I am once again, baring my soul and my hard works. This is the opening chapter to a short story I'm currently working on. Enjoy....




  “Did you feel that?” Amon’s voice had boomed throughout the massive cavern. He craned his neck to peer at Zephyr who was no standing in the pitch black, staring off into the distant tunnels.
  “It was just a minor tremor. Some where in the far east I believe.” Zephyr looked back upon his friend and asked, “Why do you look so startled?”
  Amon stood from his resting place and began to stretch his long neck and powerful back. “No. The tremor was a response from Mother, but to what I’m unsure of.”
  Zephyr closed his amber eyes and concentrated. He began to search the globe, using his senses to feel his way through and around the planet. He felt so much life, so many emotions, but couldn’t find anything that would warrant any major concern for them. “I do not sense or find anything amiss brother. What do you think it was?”
  Amon began to pace around slowly as Zephyr eyed him very closely from the far end of the cave. It had been a long time since he had seen him this worried.
  Amon paced for some time before finally sitting down next to Zephyr. “I do not know what it is I felt. It was extremely strong though, it shook me to my core.”
  Zephyr continued to stare wide eyed at him. Amon was the oldest, strongest, and wisest among their kind, and of any living being for that matter. They’d been on Earth for over two thousand years. If Amon was stumped about this new event then Zephyr knew that he should be worried, but he was unclear as to how to prepare or council his brother.
  “It was like a beacon of some sort,” Amon stated. “As if it was meant to either attract my or someone else’s attention. Except….”
  “Except what?”
  “We’ll discuss this later, James is approaching the door. Let him in please”
  Zephyr gently waved a single talon and the colossal door at the mouth of the cave opened slightly to allow James, one of the councils many apprentices to enter.
  James’ soft feet padded into the room as the door slowly closed behind him enshrouding him in complete darkness. A small orb attached to the ceiling began to glow ever so slightly, allowing James to see. Both Amon and Zephyr approached the raised platform that James stood upon to gaze down at him.
  Zephyr broke the silence first, “Greetings James. How may we help you?”
  Greetings my lords” he said with a slight squeak. “I just received word that an armada has gathered on the outside of the asteroid belt and is attempting to push through.”
  James could not only hear the rumbled growl that came from Amon and Zephyr, but he could feel it to his bones as well.
  “Why are we just now hearing about this?” Zephyrs’ voice boomed throughout the immense cave as he brought his head lower towards James. “Contact Adonis immediately and inquire as to why he didn’t feel the need to inform us much sooner.”
  “My lord, my apologies. May I please explain?”
  Amon, who had remained neutral finally spoke, “Proceed apprentice, we understand this is not your fault”. Amon was always more thoughtful of lowering his voice for the human’s small ears.
  “Sirs, it was Adonis who contacted me directly. According to him the armada wasn’t detected by our deep space sensors until after it had passed Jupiter and was almost to the asteroid belt. I inquired immediately how this was possible with so many outposts and…” James could see that this lords were being politely quite, so he decided to cut his story short and straight to the facts. “I apologize, my lords. He requested that I only explain their stealth with a single letter.”
  Amon extended his head lower until he was staring at his eye level. “A single letter you say? What letter did he refer to?”
  “An “X” sire.”
  Amon’s eye widened slightly. He then stood to his full height and turned to walk away. “Many thanks James, you’ve done well to bring this matter to us immediately. Please go and keep us updated on this armadas progress and any other communications from Adonis. Please inform him that we’d like to know how he intends to respond.”
  “Yes my lord. He also instructed me to inform you that he was already assembling his fleet, but that over half of it is spread out in the local systems or on maneuvers past Saturn.”
  “Thank you again apprentice. Contact Royce for us and request that he join us here immediately in Maliwu. I will gather the rest of the council myself.
  “Yes sire, right away.” It took all of James self-control not to run from the cave as the door slowly opened and closed immediately behind him.
  As soon as the enormous doors had closed Zephyr finally spoke again, “Do you think it’s possible? Has it returned? If so, how could Vider have known?”
  Amon stood at the mouth of one of the many other tunnels, “Vider wouldn’t have known. He’s cunning, but that that intelligent. His knowledge and ability to comprehend this subject is extremely limited. Just like most humans. No, he’s been spoon fed this information. There’s no other explanation.”
  “Who then? Someone is Adonis’s court? No one outside of the council and his inner circle have access to this type of information, let alone can read the ancient texts. It’d take someone with gifts to comprehend it.”
  “You know exactly who I believe to be behind this betrayal.”
  “Amon, we’ve been over this many times. He was killed during his insurrection.”
  “Was he? Yes, we’ve seen the video’s and have little other proof. All we’ve been shown can be altered or faked. I still stand by what I’ve felt and seen with my own eyes. He’s alive brother, and I’m sure it’s him who’s been the source of this rebellion.”
  “I’m not so sure Amon. He always a clever little man though.”
  “Do not forget extremely intelligent and gifted. You underestimate him.”
  “Yes, he was. But I don’t underestimate him, he’s gone brother. Shall we worn the council as well as the other clans that he might be alive?”
  Amon stood for a while as he pondered the question for several moments. “No, not yet. We’ll need more proof before we present that before the council. No need to start a panic.”
  “Is that what you felt before James arrived?”
  No, that was something very different and very strange. Some thing that I’ve never felt before, mother responded to it as well. Something new has happened, something I’ve never experienced or heard about in the thousands of years I’ve been alive. A change is coming, and I fear it’s not for the better.”
  “Change is sometimes good brother.”
  “Not the type that I fear this could be. I have a respectful amount of fear for this though. We must be vigilant. Have our generals gather here at once. A war is coming to our door, we must be ready.” Amon turned and began striding down the main tunnel quickly.
  “Where are you going Amon? The council is on their way.”
  “I have need to consult with the stone men, I shall return shortly.”



  That's it so far.... I know my writing style isn't the greatest, but I think I get my point across. Thoughts?  -Goody

This just in......

Ok, the new juice is this. I started work on something new, something kinda spiritual. I think it has great promise too. I have the first five pages written so far which is amazing because between work and then coming home to work at the house I find that I have very little time for writing these days, WHICH REALLY SUCKS!!!! But, this latest stary was inspired by a dream I had, should be good.

The Dual

Ok, here's the new juice! Enjoy.......


I didn't expect it so quickly this time. I mean, I know i'm quick, but he's fast. You wouldn't expect it from a man of his size and stature. When I had agreed to this dual and it's simple yet painstaking rules, I thought for sure i had him. I thought for sure that if we weren't allowed to use magic in the dual he wouldn't be worth the pair of six dollar payless sneakers he was wearing now. A fist fight, a pure back alley, underground, school yard brawl. I mean hell when he proposed it the first thought that went through my head was the movie Fight Club and the numerous scense of guys pounding the shit out of each other, but this was different. In the movie they tapped out when they had enough, this wasn't the case here, this was to the death and we both agreed to those terms. I figured he thought he was outclassed when it came to magic but, to give terms of no magic, no weapons, just pure physical strength was just...... insane.
We were both tiring at this point, the fight had been going on for several minutes. I could see it in his body how tired he was and the fact that I was laying on my back from his last punch should tell you just how tired I am. Here was a man about five foot two on a lucky day who probably weighed in at less than a hundred pounds, a man who could be thrown off his feet with a summer breeze. Now take me, i'm just shy of six foot, I weigh in at over a hundred eighty pounds, I work out and he is the one standing five feet from me laughing with his witness, and that's when it struck me.
Well, it didn't hit me literally but, I tasted it. It was rolling around in my mouth, it had a bitter and aweful taste. It tasted like something had gone rotten in the fridge and I had tken a bite out of it. It was full hatred, louthing, and murder. It was a spell! He had been cheating the entire time and I hadn't detected it because it was something new, something I had never even heard of.
I sat up slowly, giving off the appearance that I was almost done. It wasn't hard to be honest, I was hurting really bad and if he kept using this new form of magic I was toast. I quickly glanced over at the judge standing in the shadows of the room. In that brief glance his elven eyes met mine and a subtle yet quick smirk spread across his lips but, just as fast as it appeared it disappeared. He knew, he had sensed it in that last hit too but, it wasn't something either one of could prove.
I stood up, and very carefully did the only thing I could. I gathered up what was left of the spell he had used on me and infused it into my right hand. Making my fist a preverbial jack hammer. It was magic used against me and I was the king of redirective magic. Jacob had crossed the line which meant that I was now allowed to. He eyed me suspiciously, he hadn't detected what I had done but I knew the judge had.
Jacob rushed me just then, probably in hopes of finishing me off. I watched as he came, standing still, perfectly calm, and waiting. It didn't take long, he was almost upon me. I took two brief steps forward, closing the distance between us, pulled my right arm back and threw every ounce of energy I had left in my body right at his nose......................................................................


Ya ya ya, like I'm gonna give you the ending to the fight, lol. The fight scene is still a work in progress, this is only part of it. So try not to be too critical, lol!! Hope you all have a great weekend!!

Evolution

I've waited far too long to return at last to my blog. I've been working on several stories all at once over the past year and while i'm making progress on them all i'm not getting them done. It's a bit nerve racking at times to be honest. I didn't make any New Years Resolutions this year but i'm thinking it time to kick myself in the nuts for a reality check and get busy writing more.
I had a dream....... yes, I too like Dr. King have had an inspiring dream. A dream I hope I can achieve. This dream has inspired me to take action on a couple of my own personal battlefronts. I shall give it my best in hopes that that will be enough. I shall keep you all informed of course.
Now, on to an update about my stories.....................
My Book - Still a work in progress, I did however find my perfect muse for a certain female character. It's extremely funny how much they have in common, lol. She's a beautiful, intelligent, witty, and very dangerous woman....... small but FIERCE!!! Thank you once again for allowing me to model my character more after yourself (she knows who shes is, no need to embarrass her here, lol). I'm also done writing out and drawing up my own little sketches of armor and wardrobe for the book. Now it's time to pass all of that information on to two guys I trust with a lot more artistic talent than myself in drawing to make them look a hell of a lot better, lol.
Mel's Story - I'm still workin on it Mel, I swear I am. I'm just having to rewrite it all since it was on my old laptop when it took a crap and died on me.
I also have a little something new to post as well. Something else I have been working on for a couple of months when i'm in a certain mood. I'll be posting that seperately of course.
Well, this session is over, this was just a reminder that yes i'm still here and yes i'm still wroking on stories.

So until next time bloggers, farewell!! =D

New Teaser!!!

Ok, here she is all! This one is for you Mel! Enjoy, remember it's just a teaser!!!


“How in the hell did we get ourselves into this? My god Carla, one minute things and especially our lives are great, simple and but yet satisfying. Now look at us, we’ll never be the same again!” Carla, who was sitting across a table from her husband could only blink at him with a knowing and simpithetic look in her eyes since she was unable to speak. They both looked up from the table to find the man with the knife once again standing over them, peering down at them. They hadn’t expected him so soon, not after the last labor intensive slicing of poor Mr. Bigglesworth. What came next they didn’t know and could only guess. They weren’t sure they could take anymore though, Carla knew she couldn’t but, Norman wasn’t sure about himself.
The man with the knife placed a small tray on the table that was covered with a small white sheet. He leaned over and smiled devilishly at them both and removed the sheet. They both looked at the tray and Norman knew right then that there was no way he could handle it any longer and he spoke.
“Please no, we can’t take anymore, please don’t do this to us.” The man with the knife simply smiled and walked away from the table back into the other room leaving them both staring at the tray in utter horror.




I hope it sparked more interest! More to come on the other stories at a later date!

I'M BACK!!

WOW! It's been far too long since I last posted a blog! Rest assured everyone I am very much alive and working on several different stories at the momment. I feel that I can't concentrate on just one story, I have to have a couple going since I write differently for different moods, lol. Hopefully in the next few minutes i will post a new teaser for one of the stories I am working on. Until then.................... *deep bow*

Love..........

A topic we all claim to know so much about. So, lets test the waters with this one shall we? Who out there in blogger land knows what love is? Who can leave a comment here for this blog explaining it? Does anyone have the courage to undertake such a bold dare? I think a couple of you might, if I know you all so well as I think I do. I have a feeling at least one certain individual will throw their 2 cents in. Here I shall shall wait for a bold soul to take my challenge.

To give you all a little help I have come up with some explanations of what love is by famous people. Lets see what they have to say.

"I never knew how to worship until I knew how to love" - Henry Ward Beecher

"True love is like ghosts, which everybody talks about but few have seen" - La Rochefoucauld

"To love another person is to see the face of god" - Les Miserables

"Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others, and the delight in the recognition" - Alexander Smith

"A very small degree of hope is sufficient to cause the birth of love" - Stendhal

"You call it madness, but I call it love" - Don Byas

"If you would be loved, love and be lovable" - Benjamin Franklin

So, there you have it. Many views on the word itself, lets see what you all think. Oh, and by the way, no cheating with more famous quotes. I want to hear what YOU think and feel.

Cheers to you all!
