Nashel felt her young wings faltering as she flew through the chilled night air. There was no time for her to set down even for a moment’s rest; too many lives depended on her reaching Beacon Point as quickly as she possibly could.
She had made this flight many times in her life, but it had always been in short, casual trips and always with her family and friends. This had always been their yearly outing they had all looked forward to—A special treat to celebrate the coming of the warmer weather.
Memory of the elfin-kind attacking the canyon her flock had always called home drove Nashel onward; it gave her the will to
This should have been her perfect day
They’d planned and saved to make it.
The gown, the church, the flowers,
All was as they waited--it was perfect.
Nothing had been over looked in planning;
Yet she walks away, numb, cold.
In her gown of gathered satin
She would have glided down the aisle
With the warm autumn sun overhead
And the smell of harvest all around
The day was made to order.
He had been there, eager and nervous.
She had glimpsed him through the crowd,
Just like on the day they had met.
Had this happened because he’d seen her?
Is that what had ruined the day?
Is that why she walks away, cold, shocked?
In her mind she c
Kylock held his beloved within his arms, her face serene as she slept. She had such warmth, it burned his icy skin...though, not in any ill manner. It was a pleasant sort of burn. One that made even the dead feel alive, or he should say Undead. He smiled to himself and stroked her feathery brown hair, the silken strands caressing his fingers. How lucky he was, to have found a mortal so lovely; If he did not know better, he would have assumed she had fallen from the sky itself. A true angel would have burned his unholy skin to ash, but his little angel was far more gentle than those beasts. She stirred in his embrace, her heart erraticall
“Think not of the pain, sweet child.
Think of that which makes you glad.
Think of things filled with beauty.
Think of what fills your heart with joy.
Think of friends who hold you dear.
Think of the one held in your heart so dear
Think of sights of sighed which fill you with awe,
Think of the day when you first felt joy-
A keen joy in a single moment you were dealt.
Think of the wind which embraces you
As you soar with it on high.
The memory of it, even now, bids you to fly.
Fly from that which bring you pain,
Fly to what will hold you sane.
Let the memories call you away
Let them hold you threw this day.
You are
Flying high, the wind in my face--
Sweet, oh so pure and sweet it is!
I need not hurry so I check my pace
Where I now am the world is at my feet
There is nothing like this peace.
Falling, twising, plunging, turning—
The cold, sweet wind thrills me,
It fills me with terror mixed with joy
I know not which way the world may be
There is nothing like this thill.
My wings snap out, gathering the wind
Tree tops brush my belly as I pass them
I can smell the coming storms in the air
I must be on the ground before they come
There is nothing like the sorrow of a storm.

A Promise She Made With Death
She was conceived on the edge of a mirror,
lined with pretty white lace,
that burned the inside of her parents' nostrils.
She was born with a hole in her heart,
that the doctor's never noticed,
and no one bothered to fill.
She met Death on the playground,
when kindergarten was bending her bones.
Enticed by the glinting of his scythe,
as it preyed on a malformed baby rabbit.
She made a pinky promise with him,
swearing that she'd never forget his face.
He came and went,
swayed by corpse breaths
and east-coast winds,
but always leaving her alone.
He showed her how to hurt,
in the worst kind of way.
And each time,
he paid her a visit,
he'd ta
I am not so human as you think,
a girl of flesh with blood to bleed.
Credit me with greater subtlety;
can flesh approach the winter and the night?
touch the stars and breathe their misty chill?
stand before the ire of men?
My flesh is lightning, hot and sharp.
My blood is the thunder.
Cut me and hear my fury roar volcanic.
I am not so human as you think,
built as I am of word and time.
The party ran late-
The night has a bite to it-
They must hurry home-
Holding hands,they run-
Following the narrow path-
The hour grows late-
They pick up their pace-
They see a shortcut ahead-
The path through the woods-
The quickest way home-
Is the woods truly haunted?
No, it is nonsense-
They bravely go in-
The woods seem much too quiet-
Not a single sound-
Snow under their boots-
Icicles hang from branches-
Simply breathtaking-
It all looks the same-
They become hopelessly lost-
They start to worry-
Something made a sound-
Their senses on high alert-
They strain to listen-
There it is again-
A soft voice mixed with the wind-
Barely a w

The Wrath of the Dragon's Breath
Erdrick stepped into the dark, eerie cave thats only light source was the odd glowing moss laced on the walls. It would pulse a deep light blue color every few seconds, like a heartbeat. He could hear the beast breathing heavily as it slumbered, regaining its energy from the previous attack on Erdrick’s city of Clearwater.
Erdrick’s eyes were filled with anger as he inched ever so deeper into the glowing cave, hatred for the dragon blocking out his basic senses. All he wanted to do right now was put his steel sword into the beast’s heart and watch it die.
As he neared towards the slumbering monste
