This is inspired by Ophelia's singing in Hamlet, when she snaps and how much she has been broken. Please enjoy this song!
How can you tell the difference between your true lover and some other? Your true one wears a pilgrim’s hat and a pilgrim’s sandals and staff. He is dead and gone, lady, he is dead and gone. At his head is a patch of green grass, and at his feet there is a tomb stone. Oh, ho! His death shroud was as white as snow, Covered with sweet flowers, which did not fall to the ground. In true-love showers. Tomorrow is St. Valentine’s Day and early in the morning. I’m a girl below your window, Waiting to be your Valentine. Then he got up and put on his clothes, And opened the door to his room. He let in the girl, and when she left, She wasn’t a virgin anymore. By the name of Jesus and Saint Charity, My goodness, what a shame it is, Young men will do it if they get a chance: By God, they’re very bad. She said, 'Before you got me into bed, You promised to marry me.' He answers: 'I would have married you, I swear, If you hadn’t gone to bed with me.' For good sweet Robin is all my joy. And won’t he come again? And won’t he come again? No, no, he’s dead. Go to your deathbed. He’ll never come again. His beard was white as snow, His hair was all white too. He’s gone, he’s gone, And we moan as we’re cast away. God have mercy on his soul. And on the souls of all good Christians, I hope. Goodbye, God be with you.

Spittoon--Chapter 7
Here I am! My new--and last--chapter of Spittoon; I apologize. I had some writers block, it was really crazy. Very, very crazy. look at what I name my chapter after. It's from a song from the Disney film "Mulan". I don't know why but that song now makes me think of Attack on Titan :P Weird, ain't it? OK, moving on. Let's take a good look at this latest chapter and find out where it leads us from there. Enjoy, my friends! Stay tuned for Volume 2. Coming soon!--KatDon
Chapter 7: Livin' La Vida Loca
She just passed out from the drugged meal she ate, Endymion found Selene unconscious and decided to carry her with the butler Lucan assisting him. Commander Longstride was out and won't be back until two days later. This was his perfect opportunity for Endymion, he wasn't going to let that madman experiment on his own daughter and turn her into a deadly weapon. "I'm sorry I got you involved in this, Lucan." apologized Endymion, to the butler. "No, Endymion. I know how you feel. I wish to help Miss Selene." replied Lucan. "I am not going to let the commander go and use Selene." Endymion explained. They sneaked pass the security and they escaped on a ship. Endymion looked over Selene, she looked so peaceful and beautiful when she was sleep. Endymion feels ardor in his heart. "Where we going now?" asked Lucan, snapping him out of his reverie. "Blue Moon, we need to get some help from them." answered Endymion. Lucan looked at him with shock, "Are you serious? What if they refuse us?" He asked. "I'll convince them, I think we need to find more children to take down the commander and his stupid experiments." confirmed Endymion, looking at Selene who was still unconscious. "Forgive me, Moon. But I'm doing this for you. For the future victims....It's the only way." thought Endymion.
In the meantime while reading newspaper; Leander is reading about 'the siren in the other worlds'. "She's all over the place. I never knew she could do it that fast." He said. Tamsin, who was sitting across from him, asked: "Do you think it's her? Karina, I mean." "Yeah, I remember she used to sing one time." Leander mused. He remembered when he once visited Karina's family, he saw Young Karina who was dancing and singing to one of the songs from the movie, Mulan. This song was, "I'll Make a Man Out of You". She adored the part, which she has a habit of doing, of repeating it over and over again: As the male choir belted, "Be a man!" three times while the main voice would sing, "We must be swift as the coursing river. With all the force of a great typhoon. With all the strength of a raging fire, Mysterious as the dark side of the moon." Karina sang that part once, her voice range was soprano. Beautiful yet sweet. "How do we find her?" asked Tamsin, snapping Leander back into the modern era. "I don't know, I'm not sure where she is." admitted Leander. Just then, Dietrich burst in. "Leo! Come here quickly!" He said. "What is it?" asked Leander. "It's Endymion, he has Selene, the commander's daughter. He wants to talk to you." Dietrich explained. Tamsin looks Leander, who gets up and exits the room. Leander talks to Endymion, who tells him that the commander was planning on using Selene as a human guinea pig for his experiments. Endymion has proof, which shocks Tamsin and Leander. Now they knew what they had to do.
In a different world.....
One day, it happened--Kwan Yin was rescued while enslaved in the palace however she was sick of all this and took a stand by refusal however her master was about to kill her when Kwan Yin cringed away when her heart glowed and a burst of power killed everyone in the palace, including her master. When Kwan Yin looked around and saw what has happened, she freaked out. Then, a mysterious girl appears. It was none other than Karina herself, he looked over at Kwan Yin in her skimpy, provocative outfit. "Miss Priestess, am I right?" Karina asked. Kwan Yin looked up at Karina with sad eyes, "Please, help me." She begged. Kwan Yin begin to cry, "Help me. I beg of you!" She sobbed. Karina looked around and saw the dead people. "Did you...do all this?" Karina asked. Kwan Yin trembled with fear, she looked around and cowers of anguish. "I--I don't know..." She answered timidly. Karina glanced at her and then she said as she outstretched his hand, "Come on, let's get out of here. I know a place where I can keep you safe." Kwan Yin gazed up at her, she was amazed that she was coming to free her from the cage she was living in all her life. She took it and smiled at her with gratitude as her journey of peace shall continue. "So, you were kidnapped and forced to be a slaved by a 'monster' who was your master. He made you wear that getup, but if you refused he'd killed you." Karina said. He was standing outside of the dressing room while Kwan Yin was getting changed. "Yes. It was awful. Oh! Before I forget, thank you for rescuing me." answered Kwan Yin. "Tell me something, Priestess, what is your task anyway?" asked Karina. "I am to bring peace to the other worlds." She said, then the doorknob turned and Kwan Yin stepped out. "So...How do I look?" inquired Kwan Yin. Karina looked over as her eyes widened slightly; Kwan Yin was wearing a tunic top which the sleeves reached to the elbows and almost to her wrist. She wore a long skirt that reached to her ankles and flat slippers. She wore a crown halo around her head. For a moment, Karina thought she looked like an angel. Then she remembered something important she had to tell her so she and her acquaintance sat down for a chat.
"You know you should try to be a martial pacifist, we can't always save you." Karina said. Kwan Yin looks up in surprise, "What is that?" She asked. "A martial pacifist will often try to solve his problems with words first, and fists a distant second, typically resorting to violence only as a last resort. When that happens, he will mop the floor with anyone dumb enough to challenge him. Unlike his arrogant counterpart, he will not kill you unless he has no other choice, as killing usually goes against everything that he stands for." explained Karina. Kwan Yin giggled, "There's no such think as a person like that." She said. "Actually there is." Karina said, she pulled out papers of her research that she did and pulled out one article. "There is the Norse mythology: Thor, the great Thor was one. And there was Freyr." replied Karina "But they are from mythology." protested Kwan Yin. "Ah, that's where your wrong." Karina put in. More articles, she begin to read them as she mentioned their names: "Number one; The Shaolin Monks studied and developed their fighting style out of self-defense and swore an oath to only use these arts to protect. They took no pride in killing, and even less in needing to fight in the first place. Number two; The entire martial art of Aikido is based on this principle. and number three--Guillaume-Henri Dufour; He was General of the Swiss army during the brief civil war, which he won with less than 100 dead on both sides combined. Later, he was instrumental in founding the Red Cross and presided over the first Geneva Convention. He was also an important topographer, leading to Switzerland's highest peak being named after him...." Kwan Yin was convinced so she is trained on martial arts and how to survive in the wilderness. That's when they are under attack by strange monsters while on a plane and they escaped, almost dying. Kwan Yin woke up, happy to be alive. But no sight of Karina and begins what she was taught.
Building a survival shelter is an absolute priority for Kwan Yin. She was faced in a survival situation in harsh or unpredictable weather. A good shelter must protect her from the elements and be comfortable enough for resting and sleeping. She knew that most people cannot survive unprotected from rough weather for more than a few hours. Lucky for her, Karina did find a good shelter: It was dry, well drained and reasonably flat. It looked comfortable, distance to water and has a supply of firewood. It has building materials for your shelter and provides protection against strong winds. She remembered that Karina had added a shelter tarp, an emergency blanket and an extra poncho to her gear. Perfect! It was complete. Now it was time to find water. But that wasn't going to be easy so she looked around and not a single trace of clean water was found. She remembered on how to make a water filter so she gathered water in a container she packed and she recalled on what Karina told her: "To start with, you need a container. If you can find a large, empty can, use it. Punch 5-10 holes in the bottom of the can. A large plastic bottle is also fine. Cut the end of the bottle off evenly. If there is no container available, you have to use what material that nature can provide, or that you brought with you. If you find a birch tree, make a cone of birch bark. The cone will need to have a fairly small hole in the bottom. Tie the cone with rope to keep it from opening up. Now the first, you need to stop the sand to get out of the container. Find some filter material you can place at the bottom. For instance; a couple of inches (centimeters) of pebbles, a grass mesh, make sure it’s nonpoisonous grass, or cotton material."
Kwan Yin learned how to do it as the teachings echoed in her memory:"Add a layer of gravel. The main purpose of the gravel layer is to strengthen the filter material and prevent sand mixed with the water you get from the filter. Fill your bottle or cone with sand. Collect some water. Pour your collected water through the filter. Catch it in another container at the bottom. Look at the water that comes out of the filter. It should be clear. If not, you may have to pass the water through the filter more than once." Now she made her own water filter and puts water in there and she can drink it. It is essential to understand where to find survival food, even food is the least pressing wilderness survival need. With plenty of water and a comfortable resting place, most of humans can live many weeks without food. However, food is important for Kwan Yin's mental and emotional state, as well as a source of energy and to maintain a normal body temperature. In a survival situation, she has to take advantage of everything available to eat. Most wilderness areas are full of natural food, ranging from plants to insects. The food sources Kwan Yin can exploit are determined by the habitat she was in. Vary her diet to make sure you get the appropriate proportions of fat, protein, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins. Meat and fish are good sources of protein and fat and provide virtually everything a long-term survivor would need. However, at the first stage of a survival situation, plants are the most appropriate diet as plants are easily accessible and contain the necessary carbohydrates. She ate bugs that were editable: worms, grasshoppers, crickets, and ants. Not her cup of tea but what else could she do?
Then, Kwan Yin recalled something she had learn, which is the figure-four trap. It's very effective, but it needs some practice to make. Kwan Yin knows that she is unlikely to get it right first time. Her intention should be to create a stable trap, but with a trigger that will cause the trap to collapse, even to the slightest touch. The deadfall trap works on the principle that when the bait is taken a weight falls on the prey. This live animal trap can be made to any size. But she knew that it wouldn't work for the first time but it was worth a shot. The deadfall trap had a trigger, a horizontal bait bar is balanced at appropriate angles to an upright with a locking bar, which supports a heavy weight pivoting around the tip of the upright, see the figure above. As a weight, use a heavy log or rock. Another variation of the trigger mechanism is shown to the right. It's very simple and no tools are required. Using two long sticks and one short stick; She made sure the contact point of the weight is close to the main support stick. Kwan Yin also need to find kindling with the tinder and fuel she had packed. She made a fire with ease and it started. Just as Mikado taught her. She tended to the fire but after a few hours; she had to create an SOS, which meant Save Our Souls, is the best known international distress signal. Everyone should be familiar with SOS. The SOS signal can be transmitted by any method, visual or audio. She remembered the code for SOS is 3 short, 3 long and 3 short signals. Pause. Repeat the signal. The SOS signal can, for instance, be constructed as a ground to air signal with rocks and logs, or whatever material she have available. At night she can use a flashlight or a strobe light to send an SOS to, for instance, an aircraft. During the day, she can use a signal mirror. If it is difficult to produce long and short signals, Kwan Yin should know that almost any signal repeated three times will serve as a distress signal. But she eventually gets kidnapped by thugs, who saw her signal.
While being kidnapped; Kwan Yin begin to think rationally and she have to be cooperative in this sort of situation. Her adrenaline will be pumping, her heart will be pounding, and she will be terrified. She had to calm down. The sooner she can regain your composure the better off you will be immediately and in the long run. Right from the start, she should try to observe and remember as much as possible in order to help her plan an escape, predict abductor's next moves, or give information to the police to aid in a rescue or to help apprehend and convict the kidnapper. At the same time, she had to be positive. Remember, most kidnapping victims survive--the odds are with her. That said, you should prepare herself for a long captivity. Some hostages have been held for years, but they kept a positive attitude, played their cards right, and were eventually freed. Take it one day at a time. One of the captors looked over her, Kwan Yin looked back with no glare at her. It is generally psychologically harder for a person to kill, rape, or otherwise harm a captive if the captive remains "human" in the captor's eyes. She did not grovel, beg, or become hysterical. She tried even not to cry. She will not challenge her abductor, but show him that him are worthy of respect as he came over to her and untie her from her bounds. Kwan Yin swallowed and said, "I, Kwan Yin, am here to bring the world peace. I do not wish for violence, please let me in..." But she stops when one of the captors jump at her, "I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet." He recited, a verse from the Scriptures.
Then; Kwan Yin could feel his hands on her bare skin, she felt cold anger and kicked him in between his legs. The guy groans in pain, loosen his grip, and Kwan Yin tried to run however the guy wraps himself around her and bangs her hard against a wall as he forcefully kissed her. In the kiss; Kwan Yin bite his lip hard. The man yelled, he was furious and grabbed Kwan Yin's neck, choking her. She was about to die without air in her throat, when that same burst of power, she had before with her monstrous master she was enslaved, came from her and the captor cry out in pain. He fell backwards, he was critically injured as he fell unconscious. Kwan Yin was shocked, she begin to weep sorrowfully. "Oh my God...." She gasped. "Oh...." She wept and wept until there was nothing left. She thought of what Karina said about martial pacifists: A martial pacifist will often try to solve his problems with words first, and fists a distant second, typically resorting to violence only as a last resort. When that happens, he will mop the floor with anyone dumb enough to challenge him." She remembered what she also said to her, "You can do it, Kwan Yin. After all we've taught you, you are a warrior." "I don't think I'm a warrior." She replied nervously. "Sure you are, you just don't know it yet." confirmed Karina. "How do you know that?" asked Kwan Yin. Karina smirked, "I just do." She answered smugly. Kwan Yin remembered something from her past: When she was just a little girl; her mother used to tuck her into bed and she'd read her a story. It always was about a princess in distress, And how a guy would save her. Then end up with the glory of marrying her. Living happily ever after. Little Kwan Yin would lie in bed and think about the person that she want to be. Now, she this day has come when she realized the fairy tale life wasn't for her.
Kwan Yin knew what she had to do, She remembered her pacifist passage she had to follow: "With Jah as my witness, I swear on my name and my life, that I shall do no harm, that I shall place the saving of life and easing of suffering above self, above family, that my duty is not to my people, or to my nation, but to all of humanity." She realized that she cannot go by that anymore. She knew that Karina was right: "I understand, I cannot cause violence. I cannot hurt a mortal. Forgive me but...My friends, they are right. I can't count anyone to save me. I....I need to get stronger. I have to rescue only me." She thought. " I'm going set me free." Taking the sword on the ground; Kwan Yin fought back. Every enemy she encountered, she wasn't afraid to take a swing. She would not take pride in killing or harming but rather to save herself and remorse for what she has done to her foes. She doesn't want be like Cinderella, all she does is sit in a dark old dusty cellar--waiting for somebody to come and set her free. Nor like Snow White waiting for a handsome prince to come and save her with a magic kiss. She doesn't want to depend on no one else. As she fights; Kwan Yin never felt like this. She can do anything now: Kwan Yin can slay her own dragons. She can dream her own dreams. And that knight in shining armor? It is her! Karina watched, impressed by all that happened. Kwan Yin improved by all the training she gave her. And so, Kwan Yin accompanied her to the other worlds.
One night in a different world called Geometria, Karina was the only one working late while the others were went home. Just then, Karina noticed some sort of figure outside. It look something like a man but it didn’t. It was crawling on its hands and knees. It went left and right, Karina was so scared that she wanted to run but she edged toward the back door however the creature stopped to stare into her eyes. Karina was so scared and watched while she got closer to the back door, the creature lunged at Karina. He was about to bite into her, however Karina uses her powers to defeat the creature. Then, Karina got away and begin to run. Once she got away; Karina breathed a sigh of relief. She walked down a path into a leafless woods, she found herself in a circle of leafless trees and looked up to see the big, bright and beautiful moon. It looked gorgeous tonight, Freya stared up at it, thinking of having a normal life. It would be so easy to just be normal, than to be a singer or a songwriter. Snap! A twig went. Karina jumped, “Who’s there?” She called out. No one answered, she backed away and ran. Running faster, panting of breath, she dared not to stop. “No. No. Not me! Please, not me! Don’t kill me!” she prayed. But lost her balance and tumble down a hill. She landed near a tree, she looked up and saw a dark figure with glowing eyes. “Don’t let me die, help me!” whispered Karina. She used her powers but then she fainted. The next thing she woke up to see figures surround her, she didn't know because her vision blurred. "Look! Don, she's waking up." A guy, who was leaned muscular, called. "She looks dead, you OK?" The guy said. He looked concerned at Karina. "W-wha-What happened?" Karina muttered. The girl with chopped style with hair flipped to one or both sides and often strands not cut evenly. She looked up and down at her, "Looks like you picked up a baby doll." She noted. Another girl, with two buns are worn on either side of the head, with the rest of the hair worn as pigtails and a cute face. "Is she hurt?" asked the girl. The other one examines Karina and says, "Let's see..." The girl with the piled high ponytail reached over and pinch Karina’s arm. "Ow!" Freya cried, rubbing her arm where she had been pinched. She glared at the girl, who smiled in triumph. "See, she's OK. Nothing cut or bleeding.” said the girl. Karina was upset, she couldn’t think straight with all these people. "Wha--Da--Uh--Urrgggghhhhh! Is this a nightmare I am living in? Wake up! Wake up! WAKE UP!" She hits her head against the wall. The girl with the piled high ponytail remarks, "Hey, miss--" But Karina pushed her away, "Please...I need a minute..." She said.
She felt on her knees, she begin sobbing. It was too emotional for her, she just couldn’t take much more out of this. The stress was killing her, throbbing against her like the annoying beat of the drum. The girl with the pigtails approached her, "Hey, Miss Karina? Don't cry. Here..." She handed a teary eyed Karina a napkin. , who took them from her but smiled with gratitude. "Thank you." said Karina. "By the way, my name's Keya Puppis." said the girl with the low ponytails. Karina looked up, "Nice to meet you." She said. The girl with the piled up ponytail tap her shoulder, "And I'm Phoenix Pyxis." She said nicely. Karina smiled at her and said, "Hello Phoenix." The one with the dark hair, which had blue contrast in his mane, observed Karina and then turned to the buff and tough guy. "Jiao Long, get her here an iced tea. Tissues. And something to eat." He instructed. The tough guy nodded, "You got it, Chief." He said. And he turned to leave. Karina looked at the boy with a feeling of annoyed on her face, "Please, don't baby me." She said. The dark haired guy looked over at her. "I'm not. You look like you could use a break." He said. This guy seems nice, he was leaned and light skinned. Pretty cute guy, really. Karina begin to smile. "Thanks Don." She said. The dark haired guy looked at Karina, "Chief? My name is Draco Hydrus." He said. Karina looked confused, "So, why does that big guy there call you 'Chief'?" She asked. "You mean Jiao Long? It's just another name for 'boss'." Tristan explained. Karina looked at him with amazement, "Oh...You run this town? This whole city?" Tristan nodded, "Yup, Well my side is the North. ‘King'." He said. He runs half of this town and he’s hot? Well, that’s what this calls impressiveness for Karina. "Cool." She said.
"Hey Chief!" It was the buff-tough guy name Jiao Long. He was carrying a fast food bag, a cup of iced tea, and tissues. "Got the stuff you wanted." He said. "What the? Oh no, I can't eat all that!" Karina laughed. Draco smiled, he beckons his right handed man. "Bring it here, Jiao Long." He called out. Jiao Long obeyed, Karina put her head in her hands and shook her head, “I swear I'm drinking water later." She muttered. Draco put an arm around Karina’s shoulder, "Kara, meet my right hand man, Jiao Long." He said. Karina shook the big hand of Jiao Long, who took it like a gentleman, "Mucho gusto, señorita." He said. Karina smiled, but looked sad a little. "I'm sorry, about...you know." She said. Jiao Long waved a hand, "We all are like this, right?" He said. Karina smiled. Later after she ate, Karina is trying to write another story however she is not getting anything. She was only, the others had to leave for a few minutes. So, Karina could have a moment of peace. Karina felt guilty for what she has done before and felt like she had put them through hell. She begins to cheer up when she had this song stuck in her head: "American queen is the American dream, American queen is the American dream....Hollywood infected your brain, You wanted kissing in the rain, oh, oh. Living in a movie scene, puking American dreams, oh, oh. I'm obsessed with the mess that's America, I'm obsessed with the mess that's America." She crooned. Just then; Draco, Keya, and Phoenix returned but they hurried in when they heard her singing. Phoenix couldn't believe it: "You, you are the siren!" She exclaimed. The other two else looked shocked, "The what?" asked Keya. "Yes, there were reports in the newspapers about a mysterious girl going to different worlds as her hypnotic voice is heard. You are her, right?" Phoenix said. The others looked over at Karina, "So, you are a siren." said Draco. That wasn't a question. Karina looked away, blushing. "Yes." She answered. "How?" asked Draco.
Karina turned back and told the others her story, which they listened with full attention: "Well....I was sick with a horrible sore throat which hurt like hell and couldn't talk a lot. I had to drink tea, take medication to stop the inflammation in my throat. Yeah, swallowing could hurt even if I tried. But then one day, I was visited by a hummingbird and it came to cure me of my throat." She explained. "Wow, that's cool." Draco admitted. Karina looked down, smiling. "Kind of hard to believe, right?" She asked. "Are you kidding? That sounds...." Keya said, but stopped as she tried to think of a word so Phoenix helps her out, "Whimsical. It sounds really whimsical, but I guess we're living in a whimsical realm so anything can happen." She remarked. "So, you don't think I'm weird?" inquired Karina. "I like weird!" Keya said. "Thanks, but I'm not into serial killers, I'm not a sadist or a masochist. I'm not too big on gore, if it shows guts then I get squeamish. I'm not a pervert, I'm not a Peeping Tom girl...Nothing like that!" She ranted, then she stopped. "Am I talking too much?" asked Karina. Phoenix shook her head, "Nope!" She said. "How about you?" asked Karina, to Draco. Draco thought about it, "Yeah...No, I'm just kidding. You're OK, don't worry." He said. "If I talk too much, let me know then I'll stop." replied Karina. "Don't worry, it's nothing." Phoenix assured. "You sure?" questioned Karina, with concern. "Yeah, but if you were like those annoying fellows; then we would've told you to shut the hell up." Draco said. Then they all laughed. Later, Karina was walking with a pen and a book in hand. She was writing in the book, which looked like a diary. But then she realize she could feel someone following her from behind. She turned, and she saw that a monster was coming towards her. Karina tried to run however she tripped and fell. The maiden looked behind as she was about to get away however the creature was faster. She gasped, cringing in fear. But then she didn't felt its claws or teeth in her skin. She looked up, she gasped. It was a hot guy who had saved her. Wow! This was a dream come true. "No...way...." She said softly. The guy shoved the monster away, the monster went backwards and the guy raced after her.
Once that was over for a few hours, Karina received a phone call on her cell: "Hey Nixie." She answered. "Hey, Kara, mind if you come down to a fighting arena? I heard someone interested who is attending." said Phoenix on the other end. This interest Karina, "I'd be happy to drop by. I just need to go and change." She said. "OK, have fun." She said and clicked off. Karina hung up and hurried back to her apartment. In the meantime; Tigrio had finished battling a thug in the arena. It was no sweat to him, "Hmph! Who's next?" He asked. Some looked reluctant to face this guy. "C'mon! Anyone wanna fight this guy?" called one of his lackeys name Darany. A female voice called out, "Um..I do!" Heads turned as Karina appeared in a tank top and yoga pants with sneakers. "I'd like to volunteer!" She said. Tigrio's eyes bulged in ardor. "Wow zah..." He said softly. Karina bound her way to Tigrio and outstretch her hand to him. "Hi! My name's Karina Novak. Wait, you are the one who saved me." recalled Karina. Tigrio looked confused and dazed, "Wha--?" He said. But his boys remembered: "Ohhhhhh man!" Darany exclaimed. "You're the chica from before." Ezio said, pointing to her. Karina looked shy, "Yeah....Listen, thank you for saving my life." She said softly. Tigrio blushed at this, this girl was cute all right, so cute. Darany laughed, "Hahaha! Look at your face, Kingfish. You're--Ow!" He winced as he knee throbbed. "Shut it." snapped the guy. "Yes, Kingfish." said Haslett, in a weak voice. Then he hobbled away. "Kingfish? Huh. Hot for a good looking guy like you." remarked Karina with a grin. Tigrio smirked, "Ha, funny. My name is Tigrio Antila. You wanna fight me, little girl?" He asked. Karina's smile faded, she suddenly looked irked. "'Little girl'?" She asked in a gritted teeth voice. "Yeah." Tigrio said with triumphantly. Karina tightly smiled, she pointed her index finger and said, "Front and center, Tigrio." Tigrio smiled smugly, "Gladly." He replied.
Following her, Darany and Ezio grinned with athirst. "Bebe linda." Darany said. Ezio nodded. Karina and Tigrio got to the center of the battle arena, each of them ready to face one another. "Ready?" Karina asked. "Bring it, chica." Tigrio bragged. He attacked first but Karina blocked him with a defense movement. Tigrio is stunt by the frost on it however Karina didn't stop there, soon she was doing dance-like fighting moves. Karina made her body straddled parallel over the ground, while her arms are straight, using her strength to hold her body weight while water from her hands becomes frozen on the floor. Tigrio made an attack as he is about to pounce her but Karina poise at him while she pirouette and did a without her head or feet on the floor, facing the ceiling, with leeway for many leg variation as she made more glaciers. They continued to fight as Karina did other movements she did: She quick stepped. Stomp. Twist and throwing her arms around. Lifting herself as she did different moves while fighting against her opponen. Finally, Tigrio slipped and fell to the floor. Karina flounced her arms out and let out a huff of air. It was all so quiet, everyone in the room was gaping at Karina. Darany and Ezio were the first to applaud and letting out whoops of encouraging: "¡Olé! ¡Otra!" Darany exclaimed. "¡Bis! Maldición, chica tiene juego." cried Ezio. Karina curtsy but walked over to the defeated Tigrio, who looked up at Karina smirking. "And one last thing." She said. Tigrio tightly grinned, "What?" Karina took a big breath and exclaimed, "Don't you dare, Call me 'little girl' again! OK?" She then squeaked adorably at 'OK' and her eyes became doe-like as she batted her eyelashes. "Gotcha." Tigrio said, smiling nervously. Karina straightened her position and she sauntered away. "See you around, tough guy. Nice playing with ya." She said seductively. Darany and Ezio came up to Tigrio.
"Joder, qué mujer." said Ezio. Tigrio watched Karina leave, admiring her body. But her other features and thinking about the way she fought. "Hermosa." muttered Tigrio in agreement. Karina is on top of a building where she is writing and she is haunted by Tigrio, Karina felt her heart skip a beat. Her face flushed. But she remembered her life, it wasn't average and wonders if Tigrio had an average life. That's when she begins to sing, "Are you satisfied with an average life? Do I need to lie to make my way in life?" "I thought you would be here." Kwan Yin said, she was smiling as Karina stopped singing. She looked away but she asked, "Um...you OK?" "Yes, I was quite impressed on what you did. You are brave yourself." remarked Kwan Yin. Karina smiled, looking at her with full eye contact. She then looked away. "What is your real intentions?" asked Kwan Yin, "For that siren song voice. Trailing Tamsin Tanner and her friends. Her allies. Why?" Karina looked away, embarrassed. "Well, it sounds silly and mortifying for me." She admitted. "Tell me anyway." Kwan Yin insisted gently, she was willing to listen. Karina took a deep breath, "OK. I just, I want to...I was tired of being the bystander, tired of being weak." explained Karina. "I am so much different that the other kids. I know I can be annoying, childish but deep down, I am really caring and want to never repeat the same patterns of abuse that I was inflicted on. Never, I had to get help. And I want to find people who would accept me the way I am. Not look at me funny, not...not glare at me, not whisper things about me and laughing with the others. I want to be loved, not manipulated. Not hurt or betrayed. I want to be loved as I am, unconditionally...Just like my family. Just like those who care, like friends I know."
"You wrote this?" Kwan Yin asked. Karina looked embarrassed but she nodded, "Yeah...." She said. Kwan Yin is astounded, "Can I read it?" She inquired. Karina gesture politely, "Um...sure." She said. Kwan Yin reads some parts, Karina looked away and started to pace, she waited Kwan Yin, who was still reading it. This was a good sign, a very good sign. Once she was done, Kwan Yin was left amazed. "Wow." was all she said. "Wow?" Karina asked, turning to her. "It's wonderful. I mean, quite amazing. I never knew you could write things like this." Kwan Yin said, she was grinning. Ecstatic, thrilled; Karina felt excitement bubbling inside her. "So, you like it?" She asked. "Well, a little violent and having brief language. But it's got good parts. Well done, m'lady." said Kwan Yin. Karina felt so happy all this afternoon, she was lying in a hotel alone while Kwan Yin went out. While happy of content; Karina felt like singing: "Are you satisfied with an average life? Do I need to lie to make my way in life?" crooned Karina. Karina decided to leave her hotel as she goes to a fenced archer bridge and as she walks, she could see the highway streets. She runs her fingers across the fence, where Karina walks. She found herself in a park, as she head towards a tire swing and begins to swing on it. She walks by kids blowing bubbles, walking on a boardwalk, and she came across an unfinished construction of a building and begins to sit high above.
She was trying to not look down, as she begins to talk to herself, "I am lucky I met Kwan Yin but I want to more like her. Would Tamsin be friends with me? What if they don't like me? What if I'm nothing to them? What if they don't accept me as I am? Will they hate me?" She sighed and begins to sing to herself again but her human-normal pretty voice but it sounded stress and angry: "'Cause it's my problem if I wanna pack up and run away. It's my business if I feel the need, To smoke and drink and sway. It's my problem, it's my problem if I feel the need to hide. And it's my problem if I have no friends and feel I want to die.....!" She took a deep breath and sing in her siren voice, "Are you satisfied with an average life? Do I need to lie to make my way in life? Are you satisfied with an easy ride? Once you've crossed the line will you be satisfied?" crooned Karina. While she sang; Karina's voice attracts the attention of Tigrio, who was passing by and heard her singing. He becomes enthralled by her voice. "So, what do you think?" asked Draco, who is beside him. "So, it's her." Tigrio muttered. "What I tell you, she's a special girl I tell ya." replied Phoenix, smiling. "I have to agree." Keya said cheerfully. In the meantime; Kwan Yin smiled hearing Karina's singing among the vision, confusing many people around as they looked around clueless. Draco, Tigrio, Keya, Phoenix, and Kwan Yin could see her personality: Intuitive, empathetic, passionately emotional, mysterious (she can be very private at times), nurturer, deep feelings, self protective, and has psychic sponges. There was something about her, which was very bewitching to this pretty lady who has the body and mind of a child but she was something charming.....
Elsewhere....
There was a door that opened and eight feet scrambled in. "You're late, all four you!" The instructor shouted. Galahad saluted as well as the others, "We apologized, sir. We have no excuse for being tardy." Galahad replied. The instructor looks at them and then turns to the others, "Everyone; please meet our fresh meat rookies--Tamsin, Galahad, Lynette, and Mordred." He announced. Gareth stopped dead in his tracks, "What? Mordred?" He thought. He couldn't believe it, Loki is...alive? "Please, make them feel welcome." said the instructor. Then he ordered the others to resume with the training. Later, Gareth was in the men's room by the sink. His hands washed his face as he took deep breaths. "This isn't happening....This isn't happening. He should be dead. Dead. Impossible!" He chanted to himself. There was a toilet flush, shifting sounds, and one of the stall doors opening. Mordred walks out but stops to glare at Gareth. "Gareth." said Mordred. Gareth glares back, "Mordred. You made a good recovery. Thought that bullet would be deep enough to kill you." Gareth countered. Mordred sneered, "Miracles happen, don't they?" He said. "They do, but you are no miracle. You are a normalcy. I am the only who knows about your secret. you psycho!" Gareth said. Mordred looked away, "I know that." He said. "And for the record, don't even try to see Lyonesse. She has found herself a better man, she doesn't know who you are. Not even my family knows, but still you are not allow to see or speak to her." Gareth spat. Mordred seemingly didn't looked unfazed by this, "Fine then. I have no time looking for pretty girlfriends. I have matters to take care." He said. "My soul will be burning later." And he left, but not before hearing Gareth cried out: "To hell with your soul!" Later; Mordred was talking about Dark Magi with the others, he had heard about how his uncle was involved and now it was time to take down the one who conspired in the sensual violation crime. Mordred is determined to take down who is responsible for all this. Tamsin wasn't watching him, she was watching him and Gareth. Gareth was listening to Mordred's rant until he spoke up. "Hey, not to burst your bubble but you think you can take on the Dark Magi? Those things may be pretty birds but they are deadlier than any wasp or hornet." Gareth remarked. Mordred glared at back, "I'm prepared, and besides I'm not scared of some witches in the clothing of sheep. But you sound like you're not scared." He said. "Hey, as much as I try to speak my mind, I just want you to know that you could be part of a fatal mirage just by saying it." He said. Mordred stood up abruptly, Tamsin looked up with fear. "Is that so? Wanna bet?" asked Mordred. "C'mon, don't fight." Tamsin scolded. Gareth stood up too, "Absolutely." He said. Just then, The loudspeakers blared as it startled everyone. The others were about to scatter out until Gareth stops him. "My bad for what I said, I didn't mean such things." He said. Mordred nodded, "Me too."
It didn't last long: There was a lot of competition with these guys. Mordred struggled in the training, Gareth smirks at him. "What's the matter, Incomer? Not so tough isn't it?" Gareth taunted. But Mordred pushed on, he managed to get stronger. Gareth was angry that Mordred went up higher in the ranks by all he was trained for. Gareth is stressed over Mordred trying to take the top. Gareth is still in mourning for Lyonesse, thinking about her. His beautiful sister...She was so sweet, but poor thing had to suffer so young. He shed a few tears but stopped when he heard someone walking. Their shoes squeaked so loud that it hurt Gareth's ears slightly. "Hello, anyone there?" Gareth called, seeing a dark silhouetted figure. "You OK?" said the figure, Gareth was annoyed. He knew that voice, "You...What are you doing here?" He demanded. Mordred stepped out of the shadows, "You look like you need a shoulder to cry on." He remarked. "I don't need your diseased shoulder to shed my problems on." Gareth snapped. Mordred rolled his eyes, "Look, you don't like me and I don't like you. Let's try to get along better." He said. Gareth looked at him, he sighed. "Fine. Whatever." agreed Gareth. Mordred nodded, "Good." He replied. Then he pulled out something out of his pocket and tossed him a can of soda. Gareth caught it with ease, snapped it opened and drinks it in one gulp. "So, you having a hard time?" Mordred asked. Gareth looked angry, "Why do you care?" He demanded. Loki looked guilty, "I'm sorry for what I've done. I mean, Lyonesse was your sister, and I feel bad. But I think Lynette is pretty. She's kind--" He said. "--She's brilliant." finished Gareth. "Yeah, but she's not too nice if you push the wrong buttons." explained Mordred. Gareth scowled at him, "Like you'd know her." He muttered. Mordred looked at him surprise. "Huh. Does somebody have a crush on her?" He teased. Gareth blushed, "Shut up." He whispered. Mordred laughed with sadism, "It's all right, I won't tell." He said. But Gareth got up, "I'm leaving." He said, storming off. "Hey, can't you take a joke?" called Mordred, apologetically. Mordred looks up in surprise to see this pretty girl approaching him. “You’re new here, right?” The girl asked. “Yeah, I am.” Mordred replied. "I’m Mordred Victor.” He said. One of the soldiers noticed Gareth, who was walking away. “Hey wait, where are you going?” He called out. Gareth gives him a look, “What’s it to you?” He said harshly and rode away on his bike. Mordred and the others watched him go with offended expressions. “What’s with him?” asked said one of the soldiers. “Hmph, what a jerk!” scoffed the pretty girl.
Gareth woke up, stunt at this. He was fazed, but suddenly he could hear drums so he got ready and hurried to the training. "Gareth! You're late!" shouted the instructor. Gareth panted, "I apologize, sir! I have no excuse for being late." He said, saluting. The instructor nodded, "All right, get down to training with Victor." He said, pointing over to Mordred who was waiting. "Sir, I'm sure he has better things to do..." complained Gareth. But the instructor barked louder, "Don't protest, do as I say!" Gareth sighed in defeat, "Yes sir!" He responded back loud and clearly. He hurried off to Mordred, "You look like crap, Gareth." remarked Mordred. "Keep your trap shut, Victor!" Gareth said. The two of them spar against each other. Once it was over; Mordred looks at him and asked, "What's wrong with you?" "Don't give me that, like I need consent from a lethal asshole like you!" Gareth exclaimed. "What? Lynette making you all weird again?" said Mordred, sarcastically. Gareth blushed, he hated it when someone teases him about his feelings for Lynette, "No! Like I care what you think." He snapped. "Geez, you guys are acting like an angry marriage couple." A soldier shouted jokingly. Mordred and Gareth glared at him, "Dream on!" Mordred called out. "Get over it!" hollered Gareth. But they noticed someone was lying in the grass from afar. They walk over to see who it was.
The person who was lying on the grass, was Tamsin. Her hands behind her head and she was resting. he could hear four feet and two shadows fall upon her. "How can you be so relax like this?" Mordred asked. Tamsin's eyes opened as she saw him and Gareth looking down at her. Tamsin sat up a little as she said, "The queen is the dream, the dream is the queen but the queen is puking dreams that were infecting in her brain but now she's kissing the rain." She said. "Life is not all about kissing in the rainstorm." Mordred put in. Tamsin looked at him. "I don't see you guys pulling out your hair while accepting the proposal. My life was about to change, I was aiming towards high achievement. But in this life, I am sad inside. I am unsatisfied praying and waiting " said Tamsin wistfully. "What do you mean?" asked Mordred. Tamsin smiled, she bent her head over to the guys and said, "See it this way; One life pretending to be the one that got the luck. And everybody saying, 'Psyche wants to be this, Tamsin wants to be that.' People like to tell you what you're gonna be. But you know something, It's not my problem if you don't see what I see...And I do not give a damn if you don't believe or not." explained Tamsin. "It doesn't matter what people want you to be. You just need to be you, not turn into a monster." Gareth remarked. Tamsin was annoyed, "My problem, Gareth. Not yours, you don't know me." She snapped, rolling her eyes. "It's my problem on how fast I will succeed. Don't you see? Nothing comes for unlimited. They say I'm a control freak. It's my business if I feel if I have no friends!!!" exclaimed Tamsin. Then she put her face in her hands.
"Really? I think your main business if your marbles up in your head are about to get lost in the fog of fear and dreams of guilt and shame. Don't talk to any of us about your problems of being a toxic leader or running away. A narcisstic person? You're kidding, right? I bet you had an average life, and how perfect it is." ranted Gareth. "Let me ask you this..." Tamsin said. Sitting up; Tamsin looked back at the boys. Her hair swept half across her face. Her eyes flashed at them. "Are you satisfied with an average life?" She asked. The boys were speechless for a moment, "What?" They asked. Tamsin stood up as her eyes became a starless night. "Do I need to lie to make my way in life? Contented with an easy ride? Once you cross the line, will you be satisfied?" She said. Tamsin was about to leave when all of a sudden, she turned back and said, "You guys interest me. I'm obsessed with the mess that's your antagonism, it's really vivid." Then, Tamsin walked away. Mordred and Gareth scowling at one another. Then they looked away in annoyance.
Chapter 7: Livin' La Vida Loca
She just passed out from the drugged meal she ate, Endymion found Selene unconscious and decided to carry her with the butler Lucan assisting him. Commander Longstride was out and won't be back until two days later. This was his perfect opportunity for Endymion, he wasn't going to let that madman experiment on his own daughter and turn her into a deadly weapon. "I'm sorry I got you involved in this, Lucan." apologized Endymion, to the butler. "No, Endymion. I know how you feel. I wish to help Miss Selene." replied Lucan. "I am not going to let the commander go and use Selene." Endymion explained. They sneaked pass the security and they escaped on a ship. Endymion looked over Selene, she looked so peaceful and beautiful when she was sleep. Endymion feels ardor in his heart. "Where we going now?" asked Lucan, snapping him out of his reverie. "Blue Moon, we need to get some help from them." answered Endymion. Lucan looked at him with shock, "Are you serious? What if they refuse us?" He asked. "I'll convince them, I think we need to find more children to take down the commander and his stupid experiments." confirmed Endymion, looking at Selene who was still unconscious. "Forgive me, Moon. But I'm doing this for you. For the future victims....It's the only way." thought Endymion.
In the meantime while reading newspaper; Leander is reading about 'the siren in the other worlds'. "She's all over the place. I never knew she could do it that fast." He said. Tamsin, who was sitting across from him, asked: "Do you think it's her? Karina, I mean." "Yeah, I remember she used to sing one time." Leander mused. He remembered when he once visited Karina's family, he saw Young Karina who was dancing and singing to one of the songs from the movie, Mulan. This song was, "I'll Make a Man Out of You". She adored the part, which she has a habit of doing, of repeating it over and over again: As the male choir belted, "Be a man!" three times while the main voice would sing, "We must be swift as the coursing river. With all the force of a great typhoon. With all the strength of a raging fire, Mysterious as the dark side of the moon." Karina sang that part once, her voice range was soprano. Beautiful yet sweet. "How do we find her?" asked Tamsin, snapping Leander back into the modern era. "I don't know, I'm not sure where she is." admitted Leander. Just then, Dietrich burst in. "Leo! Come here quickly!" He said. "What is it?" asked Leander. "It's Endymion, he has Selene, the commander's daughter. He wants to talk to you." Dietrich explained. Tamsin looks Leander, who gets up and exits the room. Leander talks to Endymion, who tells him that the commander was planning on using Selene as a human guinea pig for his experiments. Endymion has proof, which shocks Tamsin and Leander. Now they knew what they had to do.
In a different world.....
One day, it happened--Kwan Yin was rescued while enslaved in the palace however she was sick of all this and took a stand by refusal however her master was about to kill her when Kwan Yin cringed away when her heart glowed and a burst of power killed everyone in the palace, including her master. When Kwan Yin looked around and saw what has happened, she freaked out. Then, a mysterious girl appears. It was none other than Karina herself, he looked over at Kwan Yin in her skimpy, provocative outfit. "Miss Priestess, am I right?" Karina asked. Kwan Yin looked up at Karina with sad eyes, "Please, help me." She begged. Kwan Yin begin to cry, "Help me. I beg of you!" She sobbed. Karina looked around and saw the dead people. "Did you...do all this?" Karina asked. Kwan Yin trembled with fear, she looked around and cowers of anguish. "I--I don't know..." She answered timidly. Karina glanced at her and then she said as she outstretched his hand, "Come on, let's get out of here. I know a place where I can keep you safe." Kwan Yin gazed up at her, she was amazed that she was coming to free her from the cage she was living in all her life. She took it and smiled at her with gratitude as her journey of peace shall continue. "So, you were kidnapped and forced to be a slaved by a 'monster' who was your master. He made you wear that getup, but if you refused he'd killed you." Karina said. He was standing outside of the dressing room while Kwan Yin was getting changed. "Yes. It was awful. Oh! Before I forget, thank you for rescuing me." answered Kwan Yin. "Tell me something, Priestess, what is your task anyway?" asked Karina. "I am to bring peace to the other worlds." She said, then the doorknob turned and Kwan Yin stepped out. "So...How do I look?" inquired Kwan Yin. Karina looked over as her eyes widened slightly; Kwan Yin was wearing a tunic top which the sleeves reached to the elbows and almost to her wrist. She wore a long skirt that reached to her ankles and flat slippers. She wore a crown halo around her head. For a moment, Karina thought she looked like an angel. Then she remembered something important she had to tell her so she and her acquaintance sat down for a chat.
"You know you should try to be a martial pacifist, we can't always save you." Karina said. Kwan Yin looks up in surprise, "What is that?" She asked. "A martial pacifist will often try to solve his problems with words first, and fists a distant second, typically resorting to violence only as a last resort. When that happens, he will mop the floor with anyone dumb enough to challenge him. Unlike his arrogant counterpart, he will not kill you unless he has no other choice, as killing usually goes against everything that he stands for." explained Karina. Kwan Yin giggled, "There's no such think as a person like that." She said. "Actually there is." Karina said, she pulled out papers of her research that she did and pulled out one article. "There is the Norse mythology: Thor, the great Thor was one. And there was Freyr." replied Karina "But they are from mythology." protested Kwan Yin. "Ah, that's where your wrong." Karina put in. More articles, she begin to read them as she mentioned their names: "Number one; The Shaolin Monks studied and developed their fighting style out of self-defense and swore an oath to only use these arts to protect. They took no pride in killing, and even less in needing to fight in the first place. Number two; The entire martial art of Aikido is based on this principle. and number three--Guillaume-Henri Dufour; He was General of the Swiss army during the brief civil war, which he won with less than 100 dead on both sides combined. Later, he was instrumental in founding the Red Cross and presided over the first Geneva Convention. He was also an important topographer, leading to Switzerland's highest peak being named after him...." Kwan Yin was convinced so she is trained on martial arts and how to survive in the wilderness. That's when they are under attack by strange monsters while on a plane and they escaped, almost dying. Kwan Yin woke up, happy to be alive. But no sight of Karina and begins what she was taught.
Building a survival shelter is an absolute priority for Kwan Yin. She was faced in a survival situation in harsh or unpredictable weather. A good shelter must protect her from the elements and be comfortable enough for resting and sleeping. She knew that most people cannot survive unprotected from rough weather for more than a few hours. Lucky for her, Karina did find a good shelter: It was dry, well drained and reasonably flat. It looked comfortable, distance to water and has a supply of firewood. It has building materials for your shelter and provides protection against strong winds. She remembered that Karina had added a shelter tarp, an emergency blanket and an extra poncho to her gear. Perfect! It was complete. Now it was time to find water. But that wasn't going to be easy so she looked around and not a single trace of clean water was found. She remembered on how to make a water filter so she gathered water in a container she packed and she recalled on what Karina told her: "To start with, you need a container. If you can find a large, empty can, use it. Punch 5-10 holes in the bottom of the can. A large plastic bottle is also fine. Cut the end of the bottle off evenly. If there is no container available, you have to use what material that nature can provide, or that you brought with you. If you find a birch tree, make a cone of birch bark. The cone will need to have a fairly small hole in the bottom. Tie the cone with rope to keep it from opening up. Now the first, you need to stop the sand to get out of the container. Find some filter material you can place at the bottom. For instance; a couple of inches (centimeters) of pebbles, a grass mesh, make sure it’s nonpoisonous grass, or cotton material."
Kwan Yin learned how to do it as the teachings echoed in her memory:"Add a layer of gravel. The main purpose of the gravel layer is to strengthen the filter material and prevent sand mixed with the water you get from the filter. Fill your bottle or cone with sand. Collect some water. Pour your collected water through the filter. Catch it in another container at the bottom. Look at the water that comes out of the filter. It should be clear. If not, you may have to pass the water through the filter more than once." Now she made her own water filter and puts water in there and she can drink it. It is essential to understand where to find survival food, even food is the least pressing wilderness survival need. With plenty of water and a comfortable resting place, most of humans can live many weeks without food. However, food is important for Kwan Yin's mental and emotional state, as well as a source of energy and to maintain a normal body temperature. In a survival situation, she has to take advantage of everything available to eat. Most wilderness areas are full of natural food, ranging from plants to insects. The food sources Kwan Yin can exploit are determined by the habitat she was in. Vary her diet to make sure you get the appropriate proportions of fat, protein, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins. Meat and fish are good sources of protein and fat and provide virtually everything a long-term survivor would need. However, at the first stage of a survival situation, plants are the most appropriate diet as plants are easily accessible and contain the necessary carbohydrates. She ate bugs that were editable: worms, grasshoppers, crickets, and ants. Not her cup of tea but what else could she do?
Then, Kwan Yin recalled something she had learn, which is the figure-four trap. It's very effective, but it needs some practice to make. Kwan Yin knows that she is unlikely to get it right first time. Her intention should be to create a stable trap, but with a trigger that will cause the trap to collapse, even to the slightest touch. The deadfall trap works on the principle that when the bait is taken a weight falls on the prey. This live animal trap can be made to any size. But she knew that it wouldn't work for the first time but it was worth a shot. The deadfall trap had a trigger, a horizontal bait bar is balanced at appropriate angles to an upright with a locking bar, which supports a heavy weight pivoting around the tip of the upright, see the figure above. As a weight, use a heavy log or rock. Another variation of the trigger mechanism is shown to the right. It's very simple and no tools are required. Using two long sticks and one short stick; She made sure the contact point of the weight is close to the main support stick. Kwan Yin also need to find kindling with the tinder and fuel she had packed. She made a fire with ease and it started. Just as Mikado taught her. She tended to the fire but after a few hours; she had to create an SOS, which meant Save Our Souls, is the best known international distress signal. Everyone should be familiar with SOS. The SOS signal can be transmitted by any method, visual or audio. She remembered the code for SOS is 3 short, 3 long and 3 short signals. Pause. Repeat the signal. The SOS signal can, for instance, be constructed as a ground to air signal with rocks and logs, or whatever material she have available. At night she can use a flashlight or a strobe light to send an SOS to, for instance, an aircraft. During the day, she can use a signal mirror. If it is difficult to produce long and short signals, Kwan Yin should know that almost any signal repeated three times will serve as a distress signal. But she eventually gets kidnapped by thugs, who saw her signal.
While being kidnapped; Kwan Yin begin to think rationally and she have to be cooperative in this sort of situation. Her adrenaline will be pumping, her heart will be pounding, and she will be terrified. She had to calm down. The sooner she can regain your composure the better off you will be immediately and in the long run. Right from the start, she should try to observe and remember as much as possible in order to help her plan an escape, predict abductor's next moves, or give information to the police to aid in a rescue or to help apprehend and convict the kidnapper. At the same time, she had to be positive. Remember, most kidnapping victims survive--the odds are with her. That said, you should prepare herself for a long captivity. Some hostages have been held for years, but they kept a positive attitude, played their cards right, and were eventually freed. Take it one day at a time. One of the captors looked over her, Kwan Yin looked back with no glare at her. It is generally psychologically harder for a person to kill, rape, or otherwise harm a captive if the captive remains "human" in the captor's eyes. She did not grovel, beg, or become hysterical. She tried even not to cry. She will not challenge her abductor, but show him that him are worthy of respect as he came over to her and untie her from her bounds. Kwan Yin swallowed and said, "I, Kwan Yin, am here to bring the world peace. I do not wish for violence, please let me in..." But she stops when one of the captors jump at her, "I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet." He recited, a verse from the Scriptures.
Then; Kwan Yin could feel his hands on her bare skin, she felt cold anger and kicked him in between his legs. The guy groans in pain, loosen his grip, and Kwan Yin tried to run however the guy wraps himself around her and bangs her hard against a wall as he forcefully kissed her. In the kiss; Kwan Yin bite his lip hard. The man yelled, he was furious and grabbed Kwan Yin's neck, choking her. She was about to die without air in her throat, when that same burst of power, she had before with her monstrous master she was enslaved, came from her and the captor cry out in pain. He fell backwards, he was critically injured as he fell unconscious. Kwan Yin was shocked, she begin to weep sorrowfully. "Oh my God...." She gasped. "Oh...." She wept and wept until there was nothing left. She thought of what Karina said about martial pacifists: A martial pacifist will often try to solve his problems with words first, and fists a distant second, typically resorting to violence only as a last resort. When that happens, he will mop the floor with anyone dumb enough to challenge him." She remembered what she also said to her, "You can do it, Kwan Yin. After all we've taught you, you are a warrior." "I don't think I'm a warrior." She replied nervously. "Sure you are, you just don't know it yet." confirmed Karina. "How do you know that?" asked Kwan Yin. Karina smirked, "I just do." She answered smugly. Kwan Yin remembered something from her past: When she was just a little girl; her mother used to tuck her into bed and she'd read her a story. It always was about a princess in distress, And how a guy would save her. Then end up with the glory of marrying her. Living happily ever after. Little Kwan Yin would lie in bed and think about the person that she want to be. Now, she this day has come when she realized the fairy tale life wasn't for her.
Kwan Yin knew what she had to do, She remembered her pacifist passage she had to follow: "With Jah as my witness, I swear on my name and my life, that I shall do no harm, that I shall place the saving of life and easing of suffering above self, above family, that my duty is not to my people, or to my nation, but to all of humanity." She realized that she cannot go by that anymore. She knew that Karina was right: "I understand, I cannot cause violence. I cannot hurt a mortal. Forgive me but...My friends, they are right. I can't count anyone to save me. I....I need to get stronger. I have to rescue only me." She thought. " I'm going set me free." Taking the sword on the ground; Kwan Yin fought back. Every enemy she encountered, she wasn't afraid to take a swing. She would not take pride in killing or harming but rather to save herself and remorse for what she has done to her foes. She doesn't want be like Cinderella, all she does is sit in a dark old dusty cellar--waiting for somebody to come and set her free. Nor like Snow White waiting for a handsome prince to come and save her with a magic kiss. She doesn't want to depend on no one else. As she fights; Kwan Yin never felt like this. She can do anything now: Kwan Yin can slay her own dragons. She can dream her own dreams. And that knight in shining armor? It is her! Karina watched, impressed by all that happened. Kwan Yin improved by all the training she gave her. And so, Kwan Yin accompanied her to the other worlds.
One night in a different world called Geometria, Karina was the only one working late while the others were went home. Just then, Karina noticed some sort of figure outside. It look something like a man but it didn’t. It was crawling on its hands and knees. It went left and right, Karina was so scared that she wanted to run but she edged toward the back door however the creature stopped to stare into her eyes. Karina was so scared and watched while she got closer to the back door, the creature lunged at Karina. He was about to bite into her, however Karina uses her powers to defeat the creature. Then, Karina got away and begin to run. Once she got away; Karina breathed a sigh of relief. She walked down a path into a leafless woods, she found herself in a circle of leafless trees and looked up to see the big, bright and beautiful moon. It looked gorgeous tonight, Freya stared up at it, thinking of having a normal life. It would be so easy to just be normal, than to be a singer or a songwriter. Snap! A twig went. Karina jumped, “Who’s there?” She called out. No one answered, she backed away and ran. Running faster, panting of breath, she dared not to stop. “No. No. Not me! Please, not me! Don’t kill me!” she prayed. But lost her balance and tumble down a hill. She landed near a tree, she looked up and saw a dark figure with glowing eyes. “Don’t let me die, help me!” whispered Karina. She used her powers but then she fainted. The next thing she woke up to see figures surround her, she didn't know because her vision blurred. "Look! Don, she's waking up." A guy, who was leaned muscular, called. "She looks dead, you OK?" The guy said. He looked concerned at Karina. "W-wha-What happened?" Karina muttered. The girl with chopped style with hair flipped to one or both sides and often strands not cut evenly. She looked up and down at her, "Looks like you picked up a baby doll." She noted. Another girl, with two buns are worn on either side of the head, with the rest of the hair worn as pigtails and a cute face. "Is she hurt?" asked the girl. The other one examines Karina and says, "Let's see..." The girl with the piled high ponytail reached over and pinch Karina’s arm. "Ow!" Freya cried, rubbing her arm where she had been pinched. She glared at the girl, who smiled in triumph. "See, she's OK. Nothing cut or bleeding.” said the girl. Karina was upset, she couldn’t think straight with all these people. "Wha--Da--Uh--Urrgggghhhhh! Is this a nightmare I am living in? Wake up! Wake up! WAKE UP!" She hits her head against the wall. The girl with the piled high ponytail remarks, "Hey, miss--" But Karina pushed her away, "Please...I need a minute..." She said.
She felt on her knees, she begin sobbing. It was too emotional for her, she just couldn’t take much more out of this. The stress was killing her, throbbing against her like the annoying beat of the drum. The girl with the pigtails approached her, "Hey, Miss Karina? Don't cry. Here..." She handed a teary eyed Karina a napkin. , who took them from her but smiled with gratitude. "Thank you." said Karina. "By the way, my name's Keya Puppis." said the girl with the low ponytails. Karina looked up, "Nice to meet you." She said. The girl with the piled up ponytail tap her shoulder, "And I'm Phoenix Pyxis." She said nicely. Karina smiled at her and said, "Hello Phoenix." The one with the dark hair, which had blue contrast in his mane, observed Karina and then turned to the buff and tough guy. "Jiao Long, get her here an iced tea. Tissues. And something to eat." He instructed. The tough guy nodded, "You got it, Chief." He said. And he turned to leave. Karina looked at the boy with a feeling of annoyed on her face, "Please, don't baby me." She said. The dark haired guy looked over at her. "I'm not. You look like you could use a break." He said. This guy seems nice, he was leaned and light skinned. Pretty cute guy, really. Karina begin to smile. "Thanks Don." She said. The dark haired guy looked at Karina, "Chief? My name is Draco Hydrus." He said. Karina looked confused, "So, why does that big guy there call you 'Chief'?" She asked. "You mean Jiao Long? It's just another name for 'boss'." Tristan explained. Karina looked at him with amazement, "Oh...You run this town? This whole city?" Tristan nodded, "Yup, Well my side is the North. ‘King'." He said. He runs half of this town and he’s hot? Well, that’s what this calls impressiveness for Karina. "Cool." She said.
"Hey Chief!" It was the buff-tough guy name Jiao Long. He was carrying a fast food bag, a cup of iced tea, and tissues. "Got the stuff you wanted." He said. "What the? Oh no, I can't eat all that!" Karina laughed. Draco smiled, he beckons his right handed man. "Bring it here, Jiao Long." He called out. Jiao Long obeyed, Karina put her head in her hands and shook her head, “I swear I'm drinking water later." She muttered. Draco put an arm around Karina’s shoulder, "Kara, meet my right hand man, Jiao Long." He said. Karina shook the big hand of Jiao Long, who took it like a gentleman, "Mucho gusto, señorita." He said. Karina smiled, but looked sad a little. "I'm sorry, about...you know." She said. Jiao Long waved a hand, "We all are like this, right?" He said. Karina smiled. Later after she ate, Karina is trying to write another story however she is not getting anything. She was only, the others had to leave for a few minutes. So, Karina could have a moment of peace. Karina felt guilty for what she has done before and felt like she had put them through hell. She begins to cheer up when she had this song stuck in her head: "American queen is the American dream, American queen is the American dream....Hollywood infected your brain, You wanted kissing in the rain, oh, oh. Living in a movie scene, puking American dreams, oh, oh. I'm obsessed with the mess that's America, I'm obsessed with the mess that's America." She crooned. Just then; Draco, Keya, and Phoenix returned but they hurried in when they heard her singing. Phoenix couldn't believe it: "You, you are the siren!" She exclaimed. The other two else looked shocked, "The what?" asked Keya. "Yes, there were reports in the newspapers about a mysterious girl going to different worlds as her hypnotic voice is heard. You are her, right?" Phoenix said. The others looked over at Karina, "So, you are a siren." said Draco. That wasn't a question. Karina looked away, blushing. "Yes." She answered. "How?" asked Draco.
Karina turned back and told the others her story, which they listened with full attention: "Well....I was sick with a horrible sore throat which hurt like hell and couldn't talk a lot. I had to drink tea, take medication to stop the inflammation in my throat. Yeah, swallowing could hurt even if I tried. But then one day, I was visited by a hummingbird and it came to cure me of my throat." She explained. "Wow, that's cool." Draco admitted. Karina looked down, smiling. "Kind of hard to believe, right?" She asked. "Are you kidding? That sounds...." Keya said, but stopped as she tried to think of a word so Phoenix helps her out, "Whimsical. It sounds really whimsical, but I guess we're living in a whimsical realm so anything can happen." She remarked. "So, you don't think I'm weird?" inquired Karina. "I like weird!" Keya said. "Thanks, but I'm not into serial killers, I'm not a sadist or a masochist. I'm not too big on gore, if it shows guts then I get squeamish. I'm not a pervert, I'm not a Peeping Tom girl...Nothing like that!" She ranted, then she stopped. "Am I talking too much?" asked Karina. Phoenix shook her head, "Nope!" She said. "How about you?" asked Karina, to Draco. Draco thought about it, "Yeah...No, I'm just kidding. You're OK, don't worry." He said. "If I talk too much, let me know then I'll stop." replied Karina. "Don't worry, it's nothing." Phoenix assured. "You sure?" questioned Karina, with concern. "Yeah, but if you were like those annoying fellows; then we would've told you to shut the hell up." Draco said. Then they all laughed. Later, Karina was walking with a pen and a book in hand. She was writing in the book, which looked like a diary. But then she realize she could feel someone following her from behind. She turned, and she saw that a monster was coming towards her. Karina tried to run however she tripped and fell. The maiden looked behind as she was about to get away however the creature was faster. She gasped, cringing in fear. But then she didn't felt its claws or teeth in her skin. She looked up, she gasped. It was a hot guy who had saved her. Wow! This was a dream come true. "No...way...." She said softly. The guy shoved the monster away, the monster went backwards and the guy raced after her.
Once that was over for a few hours, Karina received a phone call on her cell: "Hey Nixie." She answered. "Hey, Kara, mind if you come down to a fighting arena? I heard someone interested who is attending." said Phoenix on the other end. This interest Karina, "I'd be happy to drop by. I just need to go and change." She said. "OK, have fun." She said and clicked off. Karina hung up and hurried back to her apartment. In the meantime; Tigrio had finished battling a thug in the arena. It was no sweat to him, "Hmph! Who's next?" He asked. Some looked reluctant to face this guy. "C'mon! Anyone wanna fight this guy?" called one of his lackeys name Darany. A female voice called out, "Um..I do!" Heads turned as Karina appeared in a tank top and yoga pants with sneakers. "I'd like to volunteer!" She said. Tigrio's eyes bulged in ardor. "Wow zah..." He said softly. Karina bound her way to Tigrio and outstretch her hand to him. "Hi! My name's Karina Novak. Wait, you are the one who saved me." recalled Karina. Tigrio looked confused and dazed, "Wha--?" He said. But his boys remembered: "Ohhhhhh man!" Darany exclaimed. "You're the chica from before." Ezio said, pointing to her. Karina looked shy, "Yeah....Listen, thank you for saving my life." She said softly. Tigrio blushed at this, this girl was cute all right, so cute. Darany laughed, "Hahaha! Look at your face, Kingfish. You're--Ow!" He winced as he knee throbbed. "Shut it." snapped the guy. "Yes, Kingfish." said Haslett, in a weak voice. Then he hobbled away. "Kingfish? Huh. Hot for a good looking guy like you." remarked Karina with a grin. Tigrio smirked, "Ha, funny. My name is Tigrio Antila. You wanna fight me, little girl?" He asked. Karina's smile faded, she suddenly looked irked. "'Little girl'?" She asked in a gritted teeth voice. "Yeah." Tigrio said with triumphantly. Karina tightly smiled, she pointed her index finger and said, "Front and center, Tigrio." Tigrio smiled smugly, "Gladly." He replied.
Following her, Darany and Ezio grinned with athirst. "Bebe linda." Darany said. Ezio nodded. Karina and Tigrio got to the center of the battle arena, each of them ready to face one another. "Ready?" Karina asked. "Bring it, chica." Tigrio bragged. He attacked first but Karina blocked him with a defense movement. Tigrio is stunt by the frost on it however Karina didn't stop there, soon she was doing dance-like fighting moves. Karina made her body straddled parallel over the ground, while her arms are straight, using her strength to hold her body weight while water from her hands becomes frozen on the floor. Tigrio made an attack as he is about to pounce her but Karina poise at him while she pirouette and did a without her head or feet on the floor, facing the ceiling, with leeway for many leg variation as she made more glaciers. They continued to fight as Karina did other movements she did: She quick stepped. Stomp. Twist and throwing her arms around. Lifting herself as she did different moves while fighting against her opponen. Finally, Tigrio slipped and fell to the floor. Karina flounced her arms out and let out a huff of air. It was all so quiet, everyone in the room was gaping at Karina. Darany and Ezio were the first to applaud and letting out whoops of encouraging: "¡Olé! ¡Otra!" Darany exclaimed. "¡Bis! Maldición, chica tiene juego." cried Ezio. Karina curtsy but walked over to the defeated Tigrio, who looked up at Karina smirking. "And one last thing." She said. Tigrio tightly grinned, "What?" Karina took a big breath and exclaimed, "Don't you dare, Call me 'little girl' again! OK?" She then squeaked adorably at 'OK' and her eyes became doe-like as she batted her eyelashes. "Gotcha." Tigrio said, smiling nervously. Karina straightened her position and she sauntered away. "See you around, tough guy. Nice playing with ya." She said seductively. Darany and Ezio came up to Tigrio.
"Joder, qué mujer." said Ezio. Tigrio watched Karina leave, admiring her body. But her other features and thinking about the way she fought. "Hermosa." muttered Tigrio in agreement. Karina is on top of a building where she is writing and she is haunted by Tigrio, Karina felt her heart skip a beat. Her face flushed. But she remembered her life, it wasn't average and wonders if Tigrio had an average life. That's when she begins to sing, "Are you satisfied with an average life? Do I need to lie to make my way in life?" "I thought you would be here." Kwan Yin said, she was smiling as Karina stopped singing. She looked away but she asked, "Um...you OK?" "Yes, I was quite impressed on what you did. You are brave yourself." remarked Kwan Yin. Karina smiled, looking at her with full eye contact. She then looked away. "What is your real intentions?" asked Kwan Yin, "For that siren song voice. Trailing Tamsin Tanner and her friends. Her allies. Why?" Karina looked away, embarrassed. "Well, it sounds silly and mortifying for me." She admitted. "Tell me anyway." Kwan Yin insisted gently, she was willing to listen. Karina took a deep breath, "OK. I just, I want to...I was tired of being the bystander, tired of being weak." explained Karina. "I am so much different that the other kids. I know I can be annoying, childish but deep down, I am really caring and want to never repeat the same patterns of abuse that I was inflicted on. Never, I had to get help. And I want to find people who would accept me the way I am. Not look at me funny, not...not glare at me, not whisper things about me and laughing with the others. I want to be loved, not manipulated. Not hurt or betrayed. I want to be loved as I am, unconditionally...Just like my family. Just like those who care, like friends I know."
"You wrote this?" Kwan Yin asked. Karina looked embarrassed but she nodded, "Yeah...." She said. Kwan Yin is astounded, "Can I read it?" She inquired. Karina gesture politely, "Um...sure." She said. Kwan Yin reads some parts, Karina looked away and started to pace, she waited Kwan Yin, who was still reading it. This was a good sign, a very good sign. Once she was done, Kwan Yin was left amazed. "Wow." was all she said. "Wow?" Karina asked, turning to her. "It's wonderful. I mean, quite amazing. I never knew you could write things like this." Kwan Yin said, she was grinning. Ecstatic, thrilled; Karina felt excitement bubbling inside her. "So, you like it?" She asked. "Well, a little violent and having brief language. But it's got good parts. Well done, m'lady." said Kwan Yin. Karina felt so happy all this afternoon, she was lying in a hotel alone while Kwan Yin went out. While happy of content; Karina felt like singing: "Are you satisfied with an average life? Do I need to lie to make my way in life?" crooned Karina. Karina decided to leave her hotel as she goes to a fenced archer bridge and as she walks, she could see the highway streets. She runs her fingers across the fence, where Karina walks. She found herself in a park, as she head towards a tire swing and begins to swing on it. She walks by kids blowing bubbles, walking on a boardwalk, and she came across an unfinished construction of a building and begins to sit high above.
She was trying to not look down, as she begins to talk to herself, "I am lucky I met Kwan Yin but I want to more like her. Would Tamsin be friends with me? What if they don't like me? What if I'm nothing to them? What if they don't accept me as I am? Will they hate me?" She sighed and begins to sing to herself again but her human-normal pretty voice but it sounded stress and angry: "'Cause it's my problem if I wanna pack up and run away. It's my business if I feel the need, To smoke and drink and sway. It's my problem, it's my problem if I feel the need to hide. And it's my problem if I have no friends and feel I want to die.....!" She took a deep breath and sing in her siren voice, "Are you satisfied with an average life? Do I need to lie to make my way in life? Are you satisfied with an easy ride? Once you've crossed the line will you be satisfied?" crooned Karina. While she sang; Karina's voice attracts the attention of Tigrio, who was passing by and heard her singing. He becomes enthralled by her voice. "So, what do you think?" asked Draco, who is beside him. "So, it's her." Tigrio muttered. "What I tell you, she's a special girl I tell ya." replied Phoenix, smiling. "I have to agree." Keya said cheerfully. In the meantime; Kwan Yin smiled hearing Karina's singing among the vision, confusing many people around as they looked around clueless. Draco, Tigrio, Keya, Phoenix, and Kwan Yin could see her personality: Intuitive, empathetic, passionately emotional, mysterious (she can be very private at times), nurturer, deep feelings, self protective, and has psychic sponges. There was something about her, which was very bewitching to this pretty lady who has the body and mind of a child but she was something charming.....
Elsewhere....
There was a door that opened and eight feet scrambled in. "You're late, all four you!" The instructor shouted. Galahad saluted as well as the others, "We apologized, sir. We have no excuse for being tardy." Galahad replied. The instructor looks at them and then turns to the others, "Everyone; please meet our fresh meat rookies--Tamsin, Galahad, Lynette, and Mordred." He announced. Gareth stopped dead in his tracks, "What? Mordred?" He thought. He couldn't believe it, Loki is...alive? "Please, make them feel welcome." said the instructor. Then he ordered the others to resume with the training. Later, Gareth was in the men's room by the sink. His hands washed his face as he took deep breaths. "This isn't happening....This isn't happening. He should be dead. Dead. Impossible!" He chanted to himself. There was a toilet flush, shifting sounds, and one of the stall doors opening. Mordred walks out but stops to glare at Gareth. "Gareth." said Mordred. Gareth glares back, "Mordred. You made a good recovery. Thought that bullet would be deep enough to kill you." Gareth countered. Mordred sneered, "Miracles happen, don't they?" He said. "They do, but you are no miracle. You are a normalcy. I am the only who knows about your secret. you psycho!" Gareth said. Mordred looked away, "I know that." He said. "And for the record, don't even try to see Lyonesse. She has found herself a better man, she doesn't know who you are. Not even my family knows, but still you are not allow to see or speak to her." Gareth spat. Mordred seemingly didn't looked unfazed by this, "Fine then. I have no time looking for pretty girlfriends. I have matters to take care." He said. "My soul will be burning later." And he left, but not before hearing Gareth cried out: "To hell with your soul!" Later; Mordred was talking about Dark Magi with the others, he had heard about how his uncle was involved and now it was time to take down the one who conspired in the sensual violation crime. Mordred is determined to take down who is responsible for all this. Tamsin wasn't watching him, she was watching him and Gareth. Gareth was listening to Mordred's rant until he spoke up. "Hey, not to burst your bubble but you think you can take on the Dark Magi? Those things may be pretty birds but they are deadlier than any wasp or hornet." Gareth remarked. Mordred glared at back, "I'm prepared, and besides I'm not scared of some witches in the clothing of sheep. But you sound like you're not scared." He said. "Hey, as much as I try to speak my mind, I just want you to know that you could be part of a fatal mirage just by saying it." He said. Mordred stood up abruptly, Tamsin looked up with fear. "Is that so? Wanna bet?" asked Mordred. "C'mon, don't fight." Tamsin scolded. Gareth stood up too, "Absolutely." He said. Just then, The loudspeakers blared as it startled everyone. The others were about to scatter out until Gareth stops him. "My bad for what I said, I didn't mean such things." He said. Mordred nodded, "Me too."
It didn't last long: There was a lot of competition with these guys. Mordred struggled in the training, Gareth smirks at him. "What's the matter, Incomer? Not so tough isn't it?" Gareth taunted. But Mordred pushed on, he managed to get stronger. Gareth was angry that Mordred went up higher in the ranks by all he was trained for. Gareth is stressed over Mordred trying to take the top. Gareth is still in mourning for Lyonesse, thinking about her. His beautiful sister...She was so sweet, but poor thing had to suffer so young. He shed a few tears but stopped when he heard someone walking. Their shoes squeaked so loud that it hurt Gareth's ears slightly. "Hello, anyone there?" Gareth called, seeing a dark silhouetted figure. "You OK?" said the figure, Gareth was annoyed. He knew that voice, "You...What are you doing here?" He demanded. Mordred stepped out of the shadows, "You look like you need a shoulder to cry on." He remarked. "I don't need your diseased shoulder to shed my problems on." Gareth snapped. Mordred rolled his eyes, "Look, you don't like me and I don't like you. Let's try to get along better." He said. Gareth looked at him, he sighed. "Fine. Whatever." agreed Gareth. Mordred nodded, "Good." He replied. Then he pulled out something out of his pocket and tossed him a can of soda. Gareth caught it with ease, snapped it opened and drinks it in one gulp. "So, you having a hard time?" Mordred asked. Gareth looked angry, "Why do you care?" He demanded. Loki looked guilty, "I'm sorry for what I've done. I mean, Lyonesse was your sister, and I feel bad. But I think Lynette is pretty. She's kind--" He said. "--She's brilliant." finished Gareth. "Yeah, but she's not too nice if you push the wrong buttons." explained Mordred. Gareth scowled at him, "Like you'd know her." He muttered. Mordred looked at him surprise. "Huh. Does somebody have a crush on her?" He teased. Gareth blushed, "Shut up." He whispered. Mordred laughed with sadism, "It's all right, I won't tell." He said. But Gareth got up, "I'm leaving." He said, storming off. "Hey, can't you take a joke?" called Mordred, apologetically. Mordred looks up in surprise to see this pretty girl approaching him. “You’re new here, right?” The girl asked. “Yeah, I am.” Mordred replied. "I’m Mordred Victor.” He said. One of the soldiers noticed Gareth, who was walking away. “Hey wait, where are you going?” He called out. Gareth gives him a look, “What’s it to you?” He said harshly and rode away on his bike. Mordred and the others watched him go with offended expressions. “What’s with him?” asked said one of the soldiers. “Hmph, what a jerk!” scoffed the pretty girl.
Gareth woke up, stunt at this. He was fazed, but suddenly he could hear drums so he got ready and hurried to the training. "Gareth! You're late!" shouted the instructor. Gareth panted, "I apologize, sir! I have no excuse for being late." He said, saluting. The instructor nodded, "All right, get down to training with Victor." He said, pointing over to Mordred who was waiting. "Sir, I'm sure he has better things to do..." complained Gareth. But the instructor barked louder, "Don't protest, do as I say!" Gareth sighed in defeat, "Yes sir!" He responded back loud and clearly. He hurried off to Mordred, "You look like crap, Gareth." remarked Mordred. "Keep your trap shut, Victor!" Gareth said. The two of them spar against each other. Once it was over; Mordred looks at him and asked, "What's wrong with you?" "Don't give me that, like I need consent from a lethal asshole like you!" Gareth exclaimed. "What? Lynette making you all weird again?" said Mordred, sarcastically. Gareth blushed, he hated it when someone teases him about his feelings for Lynette, "No! Like I care what you think." He snapped. "Geez, you guys are acting like an angry marriage couple." A soldier shouted jokingly. Mordred and Gareth glared at him, "Dream on!" Mordred called out. "Get over it!" hollered Gareth. But they noticed someone was lying in the grass from afar. They walk over to see who it was.
The person who was lying on the grass, was Tamsin. Her hands behind her head and she was resting. he could hear four feet and two shadows fall upon her. "How can you be so relax like this?" Mordred asked. Tamsin's eyes opened as she saw him and Gareth looking down at her. Tamsin sat up a little as she said, "The queen is the dream, the dream is the queen but the queen is puking dreams that were infecting in her brain but now she's kissing the rain." She said. "Life is not all about kissing in the rainstorm." Mordred put in. Tamsin looked at him. "I don't see you guys pulling out your hair while accepting the proposal. My life was about to change, I was aiming towards high achievement. But in this life, I am sad inside. I am unsatisfied praying and waiting " said Tamsin wistfully. "What do you mean?" asked Mordred. Tamsin smiled, she bent her head over to the guys and said, "See it this way; One life pretending to be the one that got the luck. And everybody saying, 'Psyche wants to be this, Tamsin wants to be that.' People like to tell you what you're gonna be. But you know something, It's not my problem if you don't see what I see...And I do not give a damn if you don't believe or not." explained Tamsin. "It doesn't matter what people want you to be. You just need to be you, not turn into a monster." Gareth remarked. Tamsin was annoyed, "My problem, Gareth. Not yours, you don't know me." She snapped, rolling her eyes. "It's my problem on how fast I will succeed. Don't you see? Nothing comes for unlimited. They say I'm a control freak. It's my business if I feel if I have no friends!!!" exclaimed Tamsin. Then she put her face in her hands.
"Really? I think your main business if your marbles up in your head are about to get lost in the fog of fear and dreams of guilt and shame. Don't talk to any of us about your problems of being a toxic leader or running away. A narcisstic person? You're kidding, right? I bet you had an average life, and how perfect it is." ranted Gareth. "Let me ask you this..." Tamsin said. Sitting up; Tamsin looked back at the boys. Her hair swept half across her face. Her eyes flashed at them. "Are you satisfied with an average life?" She asked. The boys were speechless for a moment, "What?" They asked. Tamsin stood up as her eyes became a starless night. "Do I need to lie to make my way in life? Contented with an easy ride? Once you cross the line, will you be satisfied?" She said. Tamsin was about to leave when all of a sudden, she turned back and said, "You guys interest me. I'm obsessed with the mess that's your antagonism, it's really vivid." Then, Tamsin walked away. Mordred and Gareth scowling at one another. Then they looked away in annoyance.

Paradisa is astounded and finds it cool, much to Dante's surprise.
In his mind; Dante gets a mental glimpse of this mysterious beauty flashing through his mind: Her hair, skin, ample bosom, and the curve of her lip.

Paradisa giggles at her, The girl sees her giggle and laughs out loud! Paradisa is confused by this, Dante replies that she must've saw the trio staring at her funny. "What are you listening to?" asked Dante. The girl looks at him and smiles, "Flo Rida. You heard of him?" Dante shook his head, "No....?" he said. The girl is startled, "Oh my God! You gotta love this song, it's a catchy tune--no lie!" but noticed the ear wax and pulls away. "Oh shoot, sorry. Gotta clean them, gross huh?" She nervously took out a hand sanitizer wipe and cleans it but looks mortified. She hands out the now cleaned earphones timidly before saying, "You want to or no? I know I'm gross about the earphones, but you don't have to listen if you don't want-" But she is cut off by Dante, who takes the ear piece before smiling and he says: "It's fine, I'll give it a try." "OK, kewl." The girl beamed. Dante put the piece in his ear and hears the lyrics of the rapper's emcee song. While listening, Dante watches The girl who smiled hopeful but frowns and then repeats the pattern as Dante previews the song. He takes the earpiece out and says with a nod, "Catchy tune, I like it."

Although calm and stoic yet serious, Dante's mental instability is not exact. Alone, Dante wonders what he can do when all of a sudden, he has a mental contact of an 'angel'. Suddenly, The 'angel' spoke to him to his astonishment: "Dante McBethel....Yes, I know who you are. Do not fret, I came here to tell you something. Give me a moment of your time, I know this is going to be tough but you must do things on your own. I asked that you trust me & I will you get you out of this alive. Please be careful, your journey of revenge starts now. But for now, go to a path that will take you to Inferno's Rings. Don't worry, I'll contact you soon. I'll be watching you, Dante." and the mental contact vision ends. Dante arrived at the path that leads to Inferno's Rings, as he was told, and the angel appears in his mind to speak to him, "It's me! You took the first step on your journey of revenge. Now, listen carefully...Who I am is not important, but if you really want to know, Please call me Saint. I know, 'cool' huh? Anyways, the first thing you must know--'The Devil', who is your Uncle Aeneas, murdered your beloved sister. No matter what happens or when things get crazy, remember about Aeneas and you will face him. Trust me, Dante, and you won't be alone. I will grant you any wish you desire. OK, Here's what you need to get ready in this mad world of Inferno's Rings, The Inferno Nine Gang--take them down." Dante fights the nine members of the gang who are named Limbo, Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Anger, Heresy, Violence, Fraud, & Treachery.

Join me, and I will lead you into the depths of the one that mistreated you." "Who are you?" one of them asked. Dante looked calm but he was cautious about his identity, "My name is Lost, and I am here to regain my Paradise." He encourages the slaves to find justice and the slaves believe him. Saint appears again in Dante's mind, "'Lost' huh? Good alter ego name! Heh, is that a reference to Milton's Paradise Lost? And you want to regain your 'Paradise'? How intriguing! Ok, enough jocular matters, focus here! There is so much crazy people so here's what I want you to do. Find the most 'sane' person name Sharon, talk to her alone, and ask for a map so you can get out of this hellhole."
Dante tells his army to stay here and finds a shop, where a woman is there behind the counter. "Welcome! Can I help you?" asked the woman. "Are you Sharon?" inquired Dante. Sharon smiled and replied, "That's my name, Don't wear it out." Dante said, "I need help of getting out of here." "You do? That's not easy, there's a lot of crazy, bat-crap people here." remarked Sharon. "I'm aware of that." replied Dante. Sharon sighed and reaches in to reveal a map. She hands it to Dante and she said, "This will lead you out of Inferno's Rings. Good luck, my friend." she said. Dante takes the map and thank her before leaving. He and his newly found army use the map as they escape out of Inferno's Rings. But they are pursued by the insane people however they cut and run from them. Once reaching to a safe haven, Saint contacts Dante again: "All right! Out of Hell, now you're entering Purgatory! Purgatory Kingdom, that is where Aeneas is. Here's the deal. You must take his concubines hostage, interrogate them about Eve's death, and release the women unharmed. I know those girls are witnesses and may know something. Am I psychic you ask? Maybe....Maybe not. The second task is to find three people--Cato, Pia, and Sordello. Now go, bring the message to your people and I'll contact you later." Lost explains of their next step in Purgatory Kingdom, where three people are in danger by 'The Devil'. He also says that they will use only two because the other is a servant to a 'kind man' to someone (referring to himself). They meet a mistreated slave to 'The Devil' name Cato, a woman name Pia who is abused by her upbraiding husband that hurts her physically and emotionally. Sordello, who is Virgil's valuable bodyguard." Once the vision ends, Lost explains his plan to his army. Then, Lost and the others head towards Aeneas's cathouse, where they hold the concubines hostage, however Lost interrogates them about Eve's death. The concubines broke down and confess confirmations of Aeneas actually murdering Eve with his own bare hands! Dante is shocked and he lets the concubines go as he and the army head out to find Cato and Pia who are working.

Getting pumped up for Olympia." He replied. "Maybe now is the time for you to take a break. You haven't ate breakfast and it's practically lunch time." scolded Tron. "Aw, c'mon! I ain't tired or hungry." whined Sander. Just then, his stomach grumbled, Sander blushed as Tron smirked at him. Sander glared at him, then gives up in defeat. "Fine! Always the responsible one aren't you!" He said. "I'm just trying to help you, if you don't eat or rest; how else would you be prepare for the Colosseum." explained Tron. Sander had to agree, his younger brother had a point there: "Yeah, you're right." He admitted. Then, he grinned and said: "I hope I find a girl who has chocolate brown hair and pretty fair skin. And be cute." "If she's cute, then go ahead and do her." Tron remarked. Sander looked at his twin brother, "Why I oughta..." He growled and begin to chase his brother, who ran away and laughing, "I was just kidding Sandaphon. C'mon, take a joke will you?" He called out.
They stopped when they heard singing, a familiar song called The Song by the Beach: "I love to wander along the beach. At the very break of dawn, it brings sweet memories to my heart. Of the ancient ones, who've gone. The ocean breeze, is whispering. The clouds are drifting, by. Old memories rush, like the morning tide. And with joy, my heart will cry." They wonder who, and who, was singing. In the meantime while reading newspaper; Leander is reading about 'the siren in the other worlds'. "She's all over the place. I never knew she could do it that fast." He said. Tamsin, who was sitting across from him, asked: "Do you think it's her? Karina, I mean." "Yeah, I remember she used to sing one time." Leander mused. He remembered when he once visited Karina's family, he saw Young Karina who was dancing and singing to one of the songs from the movie, Mulan. This song was, "I'll Make a Man Out of You". She adored the part, which she has a habit of doing, of repeating it over and over again: As the male choir belted, "Be a man!" three times while the main voice would sing, "We must be swift as the coursing river. With all the force of a great typhoon. With all the strength of a raging fire, Mysterious as the dark side of the moon." Karina sang that part once, her voice range was soprano. Beautiful yet sweet. "How do we find her?" asked Tamsin, snapping Leander back into the modern era. "I don't know, I'm not sure where she is." admitted Leander.
Just then, Dietrich burst in. "Leo! Come here quickly!" He said. "What is it?" asked Leander. "It's Endymion, he has Selene, the commander's daughter. He wants to talk to you." Dietrich explained. Tamsin looks Leander, who gets up and exits the room. Leander talks to Endymion, who tells him that the commander was planning on using Selene as a human guinea pig for his experiments. Endymion has proof, which shocks Tamsin and Leander. Now they knew what they had to do.

"What are you listening to?" asked Dante. The girl looks at him and smiles, "Flo Rida. You heard of him?" Dante shook his head, "No....?" he said. The girl is startled, "Oh my God! You gotta love this song, it's a catchy tune--no lie!" but noticed the ear wax and pulls away. "Oh shoot, sorry. Gotta clean them, gross huh?" She nervously took out a hand sanitizer wipe and cleans it but looks mortified. She hands out the now cleaned earphones timidly before saying, "You want to or no? I know I'm gross about the earphones, but you don't have to listen if you don't want-" But she is cut off by Dante, who takes the ear piece before smiling and he says: "It's fine, I'll give it a try." "OK, kewl." The girl beamed. Dante put the piece in his ear and hears the lyrics of the rapper's emcee song.

Dante's past is revealed: His beloved, Eve Gabriel, was killed in front of him while he escaped from unknown danger. Since Eve's death, Dante suffers hallucinations over the traumatic memory. Although calm and stoic yet serious, Dante's mental instability is not exact. Alone, Dante wonders what he can do when all of a sudden, he has a mental contact of an 'angel'. Suddenly, The 'angel' spoke to him to his astonishment: "Dante McBethel....Yes, I know who you are. Do not fret, I came here to tell you something. Give me a moment of your time, I know this is going to be tough but you must do things on your own. I asked that you trust me & I will you get you out of this alive. Please be careful, your journey of revenge starts now. But for now, go to a path that will take you to Inferno's Rings. Don't worry, I'll contact you soon. I'll be watching you, Dante." and the mental contact vision ends. Dante arrived at the path that leads to Inferno's Rings, as he was told, and the angel appears in his mind to speak to him, "It's me! You took the first step on your journey of revenge. Now, listen carefully...Who I am is not important, but if you really want to know, Please call me Saint. I know, 'cool' huh? Anyways, the first thing you must know--'The Devil', who is your Uncle Aeneas, murdered your beloved sister. No matter what happens or when things get crazy, remember about Aeneas and you will face him. Trust me, Dante, and you won't be alone. I will grant you any wish you desire. OK, Here's what you need to get ready in this mad world of Inferno's Rings, The Inferno Nine Gang--take them down." Dante fights the nine members of the gang who are named Limbo, Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Anger, Heresy, Violence, Fraud, & Treachery.

Dante frees the slaves of Inferno Nine, He announces that he is the savior to them, "From this day forward, you all are my new army. Join me, and I will lead you into the depths of the one that mistreated you." "Who are you?" one of them asked. Dante looked calm but he was cautious about his identity, "My name is Lost, and I am here to regain my Paradise." He encourages the slaves to find justice and the slaves believe him. Saint appears again in Dante's mind, "'Lost' huh? Good alter ego name! Heh, is that a reference to Milton's Paradise Lost? And you want to regain your 'Paradise'? How intriguing! Ok, enough jocular matters, focus here! There is so much crazy people so here's what I want you to do. Find the most 'sane' person name Sharon, talk to her alone, and ask for a map so you can get out of this hellhole."
Dante tells his army to stay here and finds a shop, where a woman is there behind the counter. "Welcome! Can I help you?" asked the woman. "Are you Sharon?" inquired Dante. Sharon smiled and replied, "That's my name, Don't wear it out." Dante said, "I need help of getting out of here." "You do? That's not easy, there's a lot of crazy, bat-crap people here." remarked Sharon. "I'm aware of that." replied Dante. Sharon sighed and reaches in to reveal a map. She hands it to Dante and she said, "This will lead you out of Inferno's Rings. Good luck, my friend." she said. Dante takes the map and thank her before leaving. He and his newly found army use the map as they escape out of Inferno's Rings. But they are pursued by the insane people however they cut and run from them. Once reaching to a safe haven, Saint contacts Dante again: "All right! Out of Hell, now you're entering Purgatory! Purgatory Kingdom, that is where Aeneas is. Here's the deal. You must take his concubines hostage, interrogate them about Eve's death, and release the women unharmed. I know those girls are witnesses and may know something. Am I psychic you ask? Maybe....Maybe not. The second task is to find three people--Cato, Pia, and Sordello. Now go, bring the message to your people and I'll contact you later."

The concubines broke down and confess confirmations of Aeneas actually murdering Eve with his own bare hands!

"Wanna dance?" asked Lethe. Dante looks anxious, "I don't know how..." He start to say but Lethe takes his hand and smile, "Come on, I'll show you." she said. They wander to the sambaing party and join them. "OK, what do I do?" Dante shouting over the music. "Dance with the beat." called Lethe before moving her hips and arms to the beat. "Holy--I can't do that, I got two left feet!" Dante said as he dance frenziedly but Lethe puts a calm hand on him gently and said with a small laugh, "Easy, you're out of bounds. Here, I'll teach you." she shows him the steps in samba and Dante seems good at it. "See, you got it!" commented Lethe. She smiles as Dante flushes red at her beauty. "Phew." sighed Dante. "You OK? You're blushing." Lethe said. "Yeah, T-that was fun." Dante admits with a smile. "Wanna give it another try?" Lethe asked. "Hell yes!" exclaimed Dante and they start sambaing. But they were sambaing so much, they tripped and tumble over and Dante finds himself on top of Lethe. The two are blushing at this moment. "Dante." croaked Lethe. "Lethe, I--" Dante tried to explain but he saw her hollow cleavage and can see bruises across her ample bosom. He looked away from them but Lethe chokes out, "Dante, I have something to tell you..." she whispered. But they were interrupted by Paradisa who runs into Virgil and they have an awkward encounter.

Lethe reveals she has some in her Iridescent bag, Paradisa is unsure about this idea so the girls decide to think about it. In the afternoon; Paradisa and Lethe are seen in the swimming pool but are surprised to see Dante there too! While hanging out, The three of them go on doing crazy fun and scaring others. They heard singing: "The call of the siren reaches out to you awakening off of your senses. Your soul can hear the sirens song of love. Come to me and fall for me. My love you can not resist. The beauty of a pearl and soft as a dove. The waves of the sea just like our love. With this song you will come to me, miss me, and dream of me. With this spell my love is irresistible. As I will it, so mote it be!" These experiences cause them to go insane but Dante, Paradisa, and Lethe stop with the psychedelic after experiencing premonition-like nightmares of them suffering from K-hole & bad trips. They dispose of the drugs however they are haunted by disturbing images from their daydreams. In their psychedelic visions; they heard the same singing again: "I pirouette in the dark, I see the stars through me....Tired mechanical heart, Beats 'til the song disappears...Somebody shine a light, I'm frozen by the fear in me. Somebody make me feel alive, And shatter me! So cut me from the line; Dizzy, spinning endlessly. Somebody make me feel alive, And shatter me!" That's when Paradisa discovers her period and is experiencing emotional mood swings. Dante is disturbed by the blood-stained clothes as Lethe briefly explains of the cycle that a girl goes through and gives Paradisa tampons until she passed out after her cramps, bloating, and mood swings. Paradisa has a fear of being pregnant and takes a test but it says she is not so she is relieved and decides to be more careful.
Long ago, A young girl lived with her family in harmony but it all changed when their house is on fire by a thunderstorm.

Please help me....Blood? blood! Oh dear Lord!" "Grandpa!" exclaimed Boyd, tears streaming down his face but the mysterious Candice has a syringe, saying: "Remain serene, you might feel a jab." "Wha--?" gasped Manny. However he is knocked out and wakes up by his grandson's voice, "Grandpa?" "Boyd? Am I OK?" Manny asked in a frazzled tone. "Um, yeah! Sort of..." Boyd replied nervously. Manny is relieved but he noticed that something is wrong: "Wha--What in blazes?! There's a tube in my arm? No, get it out!" Manny tried to pull it but Boyd stop him. "Grandpa, it's OK! Take it easy." Boyd said, placing his hand on his shoulder. "It's ok. It's not stuck, I'm giving you a blood transfusion. It was really hard, if I didn't give you the transfusion in time then you would've died of blood loss." rambled Candice.
Boyd and his grandpa questions Candice about how she knows all of this, "Oh, that part. It's complicated--" She said nervously. "Complicated?" asked Boyd. "There's some stuff I didn't tell you guys about, I was afraid you would consider me a total freak. I'm a--A--God, I don't know how to say it but--" stutters Candice. Finally; Candice blurts it out, "I'm a secret agent!" "What?" Boyd exclaimed however he is saved from a lackey. She smiles as Manny and Boyd look in awe. "Don't worry, don't reject me!" she cried. She helps Boyd and Manny escape as she tells them about her story. Boyd runs into a woman name Lady Nora Kosco and ask her about anyone that can help him out with finding Lost. "I know a pretty good smart chick. Sophie Kosco." Lady Kosco said with a smile. Boyd looked at her with disbelief, "You're joking right?" he said with a laugh. "No, she did some research on you, Candice, Hunter, and Adrienne." confirmed Lady Kosco. "What?" Boyd looked surprise. "She is quite unique. She calls herself 'Freak Girl' but she's more than just a freak, she's different in every way." said Lady Kosco with a confident glance. "Why would she research me? And Candice? And Adrienne and Hunter?" demanded Boyd. Lady Kosco shrugged her shoulders while replying, "Curiosity. She can't help it. Hey, do you know Sophos Brunon?" Boyd shook his head, "No." he said. "He is Sophie's manipulative, selfish, and bastard father....And my ex husband" Lady Kosco replied.
That's when the day comes: Virgil, Boyd, Hunter, Lethe, Paradisa, Candice, and Adrienne confront Lost as they uncover his identity as Dante McBethel! Before anything can happen, an explosion occurs however Virgil, Boyd, Hunter, Lethe, Paradisa, Candice, and Adrienne escape but there is no sign of Dante as the others gave him up for loss and call themselves Divine Carnival. Two weeks later; A 12 year old boy, Michael, and his talented yet attractive butler, Adam Hamilton. They are searching for Dante McBethel for a strange reason. Dante turns out to have survive from the explosion that happened and wakes up in a alternate reality. Virgil is an undercover agent to spy on Aeneus and what he is planning. But he is disturbed by his dysfunctional family members. The daughter, Jezebel, is a nymphomaniac while his brother name Samael is having an incestuous relationship with his mother, Lilith. At the same time; Lost's army are now part of society as respected civilians that don't need Lost anymore since he is now gone. In the meantime, Dante hacks into Aeneus's stuff with help from Adam but they get hacked by Plutus. Angry that he'll never see his friends again, Dante screams out Virgil's name, who hears it and learns that Dante is alive before talking to him telepathically. Virgil tells Paradisa, Boyd, Adrienne, Candice, Hunter, Lethe, and Sordello of what he discovered. Michael uses a technological virus to kill Plutus and congratulate Dante, who demands to know who is Michael. Young Michael begins to sob a little as he reveals to be Dante's younger brother. Dante is shocked as he apologizes before embracing his own brother in a reunion as Adam smiles at this touching moment as the McBethel Brothers are back together again.
In the meantime, Raphael makes a deal to Aeneus that he will be the imprisonment slave to Aeneus but it all change when Raphael meets Gretel. Raphael plans to break the deal with Aeneus, who finds out and tries to murder Rapahel however Gretel sets Raphael free from Aeneus's grasp. Later, Aeneus killed his family after learning the incestuous affair between his son and wife. He is confronted by Virgil, who has someone with him: Dante. Dante fights his uncle while learning his true intentions that Aeneus raped Lady McBethel and finally killed her but Eve witnessed this. She and Dante went off to escape. That's when, Aeneus fears of being arrested for his crime and sent his loyal servant, Plutus, to murder Eve. Enraged; Dante murder his uncle with potassium chloride syringe. Once it is over, Dante and Virgil forgive each other and decide to settle the score later. They walk away.
In a different world; 15 year old Sandaphon 'Sander' and his fraternal twin brother, Metatron 'Tron' live there. Both of these boys are different from one another. Sander is a a hostile, headstrong, violent, kind-hearted tomfool while Tron is the total opposite: He is calm, nice, mature, and intelligent wunderkind. Sander is competing in Olympia Coloseeum to face his gladiator idol, Timor Shadowwolf. He wishes to be number one of Olympia so he would never be scum, or a nobody again! Sander and Tron are the sons of a virtuous beauty and the fearsome beast. One day, the brothers vow to find their father so they can confront their father. Sander was still training with his feet whooshing, him panting until he stopped and passed out on the floor. "Sander, are you still here?" Tron called, he found his brother on the floor. Sander smiled, "'Sup brother!" He greeted. "You've been here since this morning, haven't you?" inquired Tron, narrowing his eyes. Sander got up his feet instantly and begin to stretch around, "Yup! Getting pumped up for Olympia." He replied. "Maybe now is the time for you to take a break. You haven't ate breakfast and it's practically lunch time." scolded Tron. "Aw, c'mon! I ain't tired or hungry." whined Sander. Just then, his stomach grumbled, Sander blushed as Tron smirked at him. Sander glared at him, then gives up in defeat. "Fine! Always the responsible one aren't you!" He said. "I'm just trying to help you, if you don't eat or rest; how else would you be prepare for the Colosseum." explained Tron. Sander had to agree, his younger brother had a point there: "Yeah, you're right." He admitted. Then, he grinned and said: "I hope I find a girl who has chocolate brown hair and pretty fair skin. And be cute." "If she's cute, then go ahead and do her." Tron remarked. Sander looked at his twin brother, "Why I oughta..." He growled and begin to chase his brother, who ran away and laughing, "I was just kidding Sandaphon. C'mon, take a joke will you?" He called out.
They stopped when they heard singing, a familiar song called The Song by the Beach: "I love to wander along the beach. At the very break of dawn, it brings sweet memories to my heart. Of the ancient ones, who've gone. The ocean breeze, is whispering. The clouds are drifting, by. Old memories rush, like the morning tide. And with joy, my heart will cry." They wonder who, and who, was singing. In the meantime while reading newspaper; Leander is reading about 'the siren in the other worlds'. "She's all over the place. I never knew she could do it that fast." He said. Tamsin, who was sitting across from him, asked: "Do you think it's her? Karina, I mean." "Yeah, I remember she used to sing one time." Leander mused. He remembered when he once visited Karina's family, he saw Young Karina who was dancing and singing to one of the songs from the movie, Mulan. This song was, "I'll Make a Man Out of You". She adored the part, which she has a habit of doing, of repeating it over and over again: As the male choir belted, "Be a man!" three times while the main voice would sing, "We must be swift as the coursing river. With all the force of a great typhoon. With all the strength of a raging fire, Mysterious as the dark side of the moon." Karina sang that part once, her voice range was soprano. Beautiful yet sweet. "How do we find her?" asked Tamsin, snapping Leander back into the modern era. "I don't know, I'm not sure where she is." admitted Leander.
Just then, Dietrich burst in. "Leo! Come here quickly!" He said. "What is it?" asked Leander. "It's Endymion, he has Selene, the commander's daughter. He wants to talk to you." Dietrich explained. Tamsin looks Leander, who gets up and exits the room. Leander talks to Endymion, who tells him that the commander was planning on using Selene as a human guinea pig for his experiments. Endymion has proof, which shocks Tamsin and Leander. Now they knew what they had to do.
Spittoon--Chapter 5
On May 14th of 2014 was my last year of high school. So in honor for the day, I am writing the second volume of Spitton. This is the fifth chapter of the first volume so enjoy!
Chapter 5: Monsters of the Cosmos
Don’t you wish you were a giant? Look down and see how small the world is? How you can step on the buildings, cars, and boats with those clumsy feet? But the best part is to touch the sky. What if the giants could eat humans, grind their bones into bread? Well, as scary as it sounds, there are kinds like that. They are called Jotnars, they come down from beanstalks to prey on humans, to grind their bones into loaves of bread and then they go back to their homes, up the beanstalk they go. To make sure the Jotnars never come down again, a human must chop down a beanstalk, removing all contact from the human world. Unfortunately, no human has ever tried that but one day, it happened. There once a young man name Jack Elisha, his mother was a widow name Cordelia and they were very poor. Cordelia asked him to take a cow, which doesn’t give off milk anymore, and sell it for money. Jack did what his mother told him to, but he comes across a merchant that was selling ‘magic beans’. So, Jack sold the cow and bought the beans, he went home to show them to his mother. Cordelia was furious, she threw the beans out the window as mother and son argued. They argued on and on until Jack went up to his mother. Jack and Cordelia feel guilty as well as in anguish. That night, the magic beans grew into a tall beanstalk. Amazed yet curious; Jack slipped out of his room as he climbed up the humongous plant to…who knows where it goes! After climbing for a while, Jack found a place of big mansions. More big, beautiful than his cottage. “I must be dreaming, could this be Heaven?” Jack thought. He begins to walk to the mansion, he knocks on the door. Nobody answered. Jack waited and waited, however he got tired waiting. Jack sighed and leaned against the door, which opens as he stumbled inside. He looked up to see a gigantic figure. Jack was so petrified that he hid as he heard a booming voice, “Fee! Fi! Fo! Fum! I smell the blood of a human. He’d better be alive or dead, I’ll grind his bones into bread.”
The footsteps went out of the door. Once the giant was gone; Jack let out a sigh of relief and looked around. In one room, he was astounded to find a chamber of gold. Jack took a stack of gold, sneak out of the mansion and back to his house to anonymously leave it for Cordelia, who was still asleep. When Cordelia woke up to see gold, she was genuinely happy to see this as Mother and son were joyful of the ‘miracle’ bestow upon them. Every night, Jack sneak up to the beanstalk every night. He crept into the giant’s mansion and always steal the gold. He goes back to his house with the gold. Jack kept doing this without getting caught. Until one night, it was nearly dawn, Jack was caught by a Jotnar name Goliath. Jack ran as Goliath chased after him. Down the stalk Jack went as he was much faster and went to his axe to chop down the stalk. Jack was successful as Goliath went down, timber! Goliath was dead as Jack decapitated him and brought it to the king as victory against the Jotnars. Jack was rewarded as a hero and he & his mother lived in good lives of a nice home. Think it was a happy ending? Oh no, from above of the Jotnars; they were outraged by Goliath’s death so the King of Jotnars named Eurymedon ordered the other Jotnars to throw down some magic beans where beanstalks grew and down the Jotnars went. They destroyed the humans, almost—Jack and his mother escaped where they found a place called Riesentöter, a safe haven from the Jotnars. Unknown to Jack; A blacksmith name Lleu Tengri who has created 10 feet tall fighting machine robots, Homunkurusu. The only way to control a Homunkurusu is to enter a blood pact and then they will fight their own Homunkurusu against the Jotnars and their vicious pets, Wyverns. Jack was determined to take down all Jotnars, they will never exist again.
Jack befriends others who are determined to take down the Jotnars. His best friends from childhood, Tengil David and Donna Soren, are very close to one another. There are others that he met: George Tinia, Indra Turms, Siegfried Liber, Tristan Liber, Margaret Rath and her sister Terra. Even the mysterious Alice Tengri, Lleu’s daughter. The ones in charge of this is Commander Michael Calanice and Vice Commander Heinrich Nethuns. Lleu has a team of blacksmiths; their names are Pygmalion Daksha and Cadmus Zamba. They created many Homunkurusus: Talos, Amrita, Bloduedd, Pinocchio, Pandora, Galatea, Prometheus, Gram, Titania, and Pyrrha. The Jotnars that come down from the beanstalks are Blunderbore, Cormoran, Thunderdell, Rebecks, Ymir, Kalev, Surt, Mimir, and Typhon with their Highness of the King--Eurymedon. They have 'pets' to fight the humans easily too, they are called wyverns. The wyverns are Baslisk, Behemoth, Bunyip, Catoblepas, Griffin, Kraken, Leviathan, Ziz, Qilin, Manticore, Myrmcoleon, and Phoenix. The allies that Tamsin gathered had returned to their worlds. But she is not here to gather more allies, she is here to help people. Tamsin learned that Jack was struggling with his training yet he never gave up and he made great success eventually for days. He couldn't wait to face the Jotnars however they were attacked unsuspectedly, as Jack try to get in the pilot seat of his Homunkurusu. Tamsin had an instinct of what happened and decided to make her first mission of aiding someone to victory. Jack tried to turn the igniton however the Homunkurusu would not start. Jack panicked, he didn't want to die here. Not here, not now. "C'mon, start! START!" Jack yelled.
On his communication, there was a sizzle as Tamsin's voice startled him, "The ignition, it's been cut. You gotta fix it down there." She said. "Who's this? How did you hack into the communication?" Jack demanded. "Don't worry about that, you got to fix it, do you wanna die here?" Tamsin commanded. Jack looked frightened for an instant and obeyed of what Tamsin was telling him. Slowly, Jack begin to trust Tamsin and managed to tell the others about their mysterious ally. So, the other soldiers--who were uncertain about all this--decide to go along with this plan and they are guided by Tamsin's instructions on using the Homunkurusu to cut down the beanstalks and slaying all the giants. Just as they were doing all this, they heard some sort of magic singing in the wind: "I'm clumsy, and my head's a mess. Cause you got me growing taller everyday, We're giants in a little man's world, My heart is pumping up so big that it could burst. Been trying so hard not to let it show, But you got me feeling like. I'm stepping on buildings, cars and boats. I swear I could touch the sky. Ohhh ohh ohhh, I'm ten feet tall. Ohhh oh ohhhh, I'm ten feet tall." Call it crazy, but the hypnotic singing helped everyone defeat the giants. They did, as victory came to them but they couldn't help wonder who was that singing. Tamsin left that world and reported to Leander what happened. Meanwhile at Blue Moon; Mordred is in the quarters of his room, he was thinking about how to get at Gareth in spite of what happened without letting his former identity being exposed. That's when he heard some sort of siren song humming mystically yet creepily. Mordred wondered if it was the wind but then he heard someone singing in a pretty voice: "Hush, child. The darkness will rise from the deep, and carry you down into sleep. Child, the darkness will rise from the deep, and carry you down into sleep...." As the singing was happening; he felt like someone was in aiding his memories of his past. He clutched his head as he panted and wondered who is doing this. "Who was that singing? Was this siren seething into my mind? Trying to see what goes on in my head?"
In a steampunk world of fantasy modern era. A place called Aotearoa Village, reside of the Diyes Domain. A royal family called the Lightwaters ruled the land. But the family must sacrifice their own daughter. Teenage Seraphina Lightwater is 15 years of age; she is not too comfortable to be sacrificed to the dragon, however her family said that is the way to sacrificed to the gods. Seraphina was isolated from the world for all her life: She wanted a life she never had like friendship or the love of her life. The dragon of the sacrificial ceremony is usually Vesper. The Lightwaters got a new dragon, his name is Emeraldblood. Emeraldblood seems fierce and powerful dragon, nevertheless he doesn’t seem comfortable in the environment he’s in, which confuses the guards. Although it wasn’t a good idea for Princess Seraphina to see the dragon until tomorrow; she sneaks out of her room to see it. When Emeraldblood woke up, Seraphina wasn’t scared. Emeraldblood look over at the beautiful princess. “Emeraldblood, I always wish I could have a different life and not be sacrificed. But I have to go, my time has come.” said Seraphina sadly. She leaves as the dragon watched her go. As Seraphina slept; her parents, King Seraphim and Queen Antoinette, talk about the ceremony as they wish the gods would allow their daughter to live. The next morning, Seraphina is dressed for the ceremony in white attire and prepares for the dragon, she is tied to a pole as Emeraldblood is presented. The ceremony begins, tears filled Seraphina’s eyes but something strange happened. Emeraldblood swooped up and kidnaps the princess. Taking her away from the ceremony. Seraphina is confused, but relieved for not being sacrifice. The princess and the dragon camped under the stars, before the princess fell asleep she muttered, “I still don’t know why you did it but thank you anyway Emeraldblood.” The next day, Princess Seraphina wakes up to find Emeraldblood gone so she searches out to find the dragon. But in the forest, she finds a boy with sea-green hair. He was beautiful, the strange boy looked at Seraphina as his eyes shimmered. Seraphina squints, “Emeraldblood?” She asked. The boy smiled, “Emeraldblood is my dragon identity. My name is Vaeros Pendragon, I am a dragon shapeshifter.” said the mysterious boy. The princess gaped at the boy before dropping on her knees. “Unbelievable.” She muttered. “Boy!” A voice called out, it came from the rustling bushes as it turns out to be a boy with bunny ears. “Who are you talking to—? Thankful Lucky Stars! It’s the Princess of Diyes Domain.” A girl’s voice, jolly and loud, she has cat ears: “In the flesh, Buck! King Seraphim and Queen Antoinette’s daughter right here in front of is!” said the cat girl.
At the Lightwater Palace; Seraphim and Antointee are fretting about the ceremony and their daughter. They are devastated so the King got his weapons and his men to go after Emeraldblood, kill him, and bring their daughter home. In the library; Mordred is seen studying when someone in a soft yet creepy monotone startled him slightly, "You are part of a group but are you plotting to use them to kill the person that tried to kill you out of vengeance? All because he was mad that your hurt his sister? You really should be careful, dear boy. Who knows what could happen to you." It was a woman's voice but the figure was in a cloak as her face wasn't seen. It was visible in that hood and shroud. Mordred smiled arrogantly, "Young lady, you should know that I'm not afraid at what lies before me. I don't think you know me, nor even know what I'm thinking." He claimed. "Oh but I do." said the girl in the cloak. She begin to sing again, her song went like this: "Guileless son, I'll shape your belief, and you'll always know that your father's a thief. And you won't understand the cause of your grief, but you'll always follow the voices beneath. Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty, loyalty. Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty only to me..." It sounded like the same singing. He then saw visions of blood and screamed as he panicked over. But soon realized it was just a dream, because everything looked normal. But he wondered if it was ever a dream or a vision of fate. He went away to a cathedral but but as he was doing so, the voice haunts him down the halls as the siren was reading his memories by her song, "Guileless son, Your spirit will hate her. The flower who married my brother the traitor, and you will expose his puppeteer behavior, for you are the proof of how he betrayed her loyalty. Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty, loyalty. Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty only to me..." The memories of Gareth, his beautiful sister, and Anna came into his head as he clutched his head again, breathing and moaning.
For the time being; Tamsin watched Seraphina and Vaeros together, they seem to get along nicely but they seem to be shy and in love with one another. Tamsin begins to observe this as she imagines herself as she is now with Sean, she could see herself with him. They're holding hands and smiling at one another and Tamsin couldn't be any more happier that she already have. But in reality, much to her dismay, Sean was dead. She could never have that--even if she wanted to, it was impossible. No, she had Mateo--He looked like Sean, maybe she can still have it. However, Seraphina is in trouble with a lot of enemies who are trying to bring them back: Chained to a rock as a sacrifice to sate the monster, forced to marry by a cruel man, stuck in a tower, fall into unconsciousness, being rescued by monsters, turned into a monster while being held by a wicked necromancer, and forced to be a slave. But Vaeros, the Rabbit Boy, and Cat Girl have to go and rescue her from danger. But Vaeros had a hard time expressing his love for her. How was he able to? He was half human, half dragon. So, what does Tamsin do? She disguised herself as a merchant and she gives him guidance on how to be more romantic and kind of a gentleman towards Seraphina. In fact; She's teaching how to be a prince almost. Vaeros was quite a bit klutzier at first, making mistakes however Seraphina didn't seem to mind as she saw that his heart had some how beat for a reason. And she could feel her heart beating in her chest. The two of them went on a date, and finally for the first time, they kissed.
Tamsin was happy to do something nice. That was twice today! She was helping someone fall in love. In the meantime, it was getting bad! Antoinette and Seraphim were fretting so Seraphim got his knife and decides to bring his daughter home. They wanted to kill Vaeros however they eventually learned Vaeros was Emeraldblood, who sworn to protect Seraphina and refuse to not let anyone kill her. The gods seemed pleased by this as they decide to let Seraphina live because someone cares for her so much. This mission touched Tamsin, she wept a little but not too much, she learned that she could not end her life because who knows what love might be and makes you live longer. Stressed over by the haunted singing; Mordred was shaken as he sat by the river but felt small hands and arms around his neck as someone sang softly into his ear, "Hush, child, Darkness will rise from the deep. And carry you down into sleep. Child, the darkness will rise from the deep, and carry you down into sleep." That night, while Mordred was sleeping; he heard a hauntingly beautiful voice as he slept: "Guileless son, each day you grow older, each moment I'm watching my vengeance unfold. For the child of my body, the flesh of my soul, Will die in returning the birthright he stole. Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty, loyalty. Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty only to me...Hush, child, the darkness will rise from the deep. And carry you down into sleep. Child, the darkness will rise from the deep, and carry you down into sleep." In the meantime; Leander asked his squad: "Did you found her location?" He asked. "Karina? Yes, I did." said Frederick. "Where is she now?" Leander asked. "She's in a place known as World Tree Academy, in Fortunate Isles." reported Dietrich. So, Tamsin and Blue Moon head over to their next location.
Later; Tamsin and Mateo are stand among the school in Fortunate Isles. “Are you ready for this?” asked Mateo. “No. No way, are you?” said Tamsin. “No. But, it’s a first I guess.” replied Mateo. The children of World Tree Academy are almost Ophelia-like. They may be whatever age they are but still act quit childish. They have sensory stimulation, social triggers, communication problems, and unusual interests. They have disheveled hair. They are running around babbling lyrically about the strange visions flashing through her deranged mind, singing creepy little rhymes, scattering flowers and occasionally bashing people's heads in. Let’s start with the upstairs part of World Tree; there were 12 children of the middle school: Amala—A girl who would say hi to those. When they didn’t respond or if they did say hi; she stared at them. Amala sometimes can hit without any reason why. She knows what is wrong or right, she just does it anyway. Kamala—a girl who laughs loudly, an irritating sound that was sonorous. Kaspar—He was pretty hard to understand. Kaspar smiles all the time and it looks still that way either he is upset. But some people think he has no feelings however he does. Victor—He was nonverbal kid who didn’t talk so much and always step forward and back repeatedly. Hans—A young boy with childlike characteristics. He can say random things that some people cannot understand what he is saying and Hans can get violent. He can hit, he can run away, he once hit his head into a wall and made a big hole in it. It was really bad. But he is no longer in school because of some seizures he has been suffering from. Vicente—He is a boy with childlike characteristics, like Hans, but he jumps around and talks of random things. Sometimes, if it’s so loud in there, then he leaves the room ranting on and on about something.
Belo—A kid who is full of energy. He likes to skip around while shaking and playing with a plastic strand from something. He would go up to a teacher for something in a strange tone: “May I use computer?”, “May I use the bathroom?” or “May I ride the school bus?” When he is told no, he either repeats it over and over, or he shouts for what he wants. Such as “MAY I HAVE OATMEAL?!” He can get crazy so he needs to be restrained. Danielle—a young girl who is disobedient and wants things but she refuses to do work. Sometimes people kind of bribed her in order for her to comprehend, they promise her and they would reward her if she does what she has to do. Danielle says sorry a little and says that she wants a toy or computer. Lauren—she is a young girl, rounded kind. She zones out a lot, talking to herself, and makes a mess when she eats or drinks. When something is missing or something goes wrong, she cried, making noises and biting herself. Ramachandra—a nonverbal child who has a habit of eating things, goodness knows where! From the floor, chewing on his clothes, picking his belly button, and all sorts of things. It is really disturbing. He likes to look in if there is a movie or game playing. Sometimes Ramachandra would cry over something, either for attention or because he had to get off of something. Robert—a strange boy, he smiles at times. But he makes a horrible hack cough sound. But he has feelings just like a normal person and tells the truth. Saturday—a young teen who looks like and acts like a child. He likes warm hugs, he refuse to move and sometimes makes noises like ‘uh oh’. A person, helper or teacher, must gently encouraged him and he finally gets up.
In the downstairs of World Tree is bustling with noises of crying and scolding. There are 11 elementary kids: Alex—Alex was an adorable boy with cherubic cheeks that were round and made him look like a Cupid baby. He sometimes makes noises, since he cannot uses his words and always threw such crying fits and tantrums. Ivan—A little boy who is a happy boy. Laughs, he is unaware of what’s funny and what is not. He displays inappropriate behavior around Alex like kissing his cheek. It is all too strange. Peter—He is a strange fellow who can get aggressive. Peter looks like he’s going to beat up anyone. He is misbehaved yet he is a rosy cheeked, sturdy boy. Daniel—a happy looking boy but can zone out a little but he has progressed much better, he can get into trouble himself. Like Peter, he is a bulky and turned scarlet-red on his face slightly. Genie—Genie is a little girl who is seen singing to herself, sometimes when she is stressed; she bites herself. But now has a key-chain where she can bite on it. Enkidu—an adorable boy who laughs loud but it is still cute though. He is one of the nicest kids with disabilities. He always say this, which he is usual catchphrase, “Are you OK?” over and over a little. Then, he says: “I’m OK.” over and over again. Pecos Bill ‘P.B.’—An adorable boy who has a small chin, slanted eyes, a flat nasal bridge, a single crease of the palm, and a protruding tongue due to a small mouth and large tongue. Troublemaker yet he is lovable with his face and he can talk, he can understand other things. John—a boy who babbles and he is misbehaving. But he is progressing a little better. Ramu—Ramu is a little girl who is aggressive. She refuses to do anything and she can skip around.
Traian—this kid has a smile on his face. But he talks in a deep voice at times. He thinks that the things he does when he disobeys are funny but they are not amusing. Traian has a habit of getting attention by shouting, ‘Ooohhh!’ repeatedly. The only way he stops is by being told to touch his nose or counting to calm down. Andrei—He is nonverbal that makes noises. Andrei sometimes can have meltdowns and cries uncontrollably. Romulus—He is sometimes doesn’t talk and makes noises when he is upset but is unable to say it. Romulus always put his fingers in his mouth, only two. He is getting better in time with a helper. And finally, Remus—a boy with fair hair boy who is in a wheelchair. He is fed food that is mashed up and has to wear a bib because he makes a mess. His helper is a kind lady. The elementary mornings go like this: There is prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance, sing along, they have to do work, and one of the students have learning therapy. Then they go out for P.E., the children finally come back to go to the bathroom, and have lunch. In the afternoons; the children have different classes like TaeKwon-Do, they have music but some are hypersensitivity to the noises, and they go outside to play. They have snack and then they go home. The kids in the middle school have a different lesson in class: They have prayer and the Pledge, they have work to do. Next they go down for P.E. and then snack, then they go back to do their work, and finally they have lunch. They have music or some of them are having physical or learning therapy. And lastly they go home. There are some stressful days of kids having major outbursts that would go on for minutes, maybe hours. Some who are disobedient, and some that make accidents. For Tamsin and Mateo; it was like a day care. Insanity, the other staff members acted apathetic of the situation as it seem. But it wasn't like they care but they try to calm them and they've experienced such as getting bitten and scratched. At the end of the day; The two of them are exhausted, Tamsin begins to think of the abuse she suffered when she was little girl. She realized that a couple of teachers are mistreating kids, keeping them from having fun because they can't 'behave right'. Tamsin and Mateo is troubled by this, they think these kids should be positively reinforcement and not be handled roughly. Tamsin been through that, these kids shouldn't be treated this way and something must be done.

Tamsin been through that, these kids shouldn't be treated this way and something must be done.
In the meantime; Leander was looking around for any sign of Karina but he found one clue of her: He found Karina's diary but it wasn't any ordinary diary. It was an anime obsessed journal as it seems, the first few entries went like this: Do you like Bleach? It was created by Tite Kubo, he was going to create a story about someone with a sniper but the idea of a sword came to his head. As for the title, it was the colors of black and white. Like he imagine a person in black and some sort of person in white. That's how Bleach was born! At first I wasn't interested; but when it came to when Rukia was kidnapped and Ichigo and his pals go to rescue her from the Soul Society. During their time with the Shiba clan, Ichigo told the big fellow, Ganju, about Rukia. He said he 'owe' Rukia for saving his life. That aroused me with such curiosity: What was the relationship between Ichigo and Rukia? Was it love? Romance? No, it was much more than that. Not love, but something else. Huh, there was some interesting characters...Ikkakku Madarame, the 3rd Seat of Squad 11. A violent streak, and goes by the creed: 'You're not beaten until you're dead.' Hmph! Talk about a sadistic bastard but he's funny...He's not so dangerous when he's like that. I like Yumichika, though he's friggin' annoying with those egoistic comments. And his seat? The fifth! Haha, ahem!
Did I ever tell you about Fairy Tail? Huh, I didn't know it existed until I saw the magazine cover of Natsu, Lucy, Gray, Erza, and Happy. Although I didn't see Happy but I was truly amazed and started watching it. It was amazing, funny, sad, heartwarming, epic. I have the hots for Gray, despite the friggin' stripping habit...Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha! I even enjoyed that Deliora story arc, Lyon is quite demented but eventually had a change of heart. I like those mages from Lamia Scale; my favorite will have to be Yuka, bushy brow dude with blue flame hairdo--I like his new look in the seven year time skip, nice! Hee-Hee-Hee! Juvia, that crazy water chick is a hoot! Love at first when that moonstruck aqua sorceress saw that ice boy. Heh, and you know what makes it appear even more hilarious? Lyon's fallin' for Juvia, a love triangle! Hahahahahaha! So kewl! Speaking of kewl; Did I ever tell you about those womanizer host club wizards, The Trimens--Pfff! OMG, They are so hot! Except for the leader, Ichiya, who apparently is an ugly puss but he believes to be handsome to the ladies....Yeah, NOT! But the others, soooo dreamy! Ren, the tsundere womanizer, he's got wind magic. Eve, the cutie womanizer, he's got snow magic--Wow! And last but not least, my favorite Hibiki--hottie there--archive magic. So, that's kewl
Have you ever heard about Soul Eater? I got interested when I discovered Death the Kid, Liz, and Patty. Ahhh, they were so kewl. Especially episode 30, totally awesome! Kid can kick ass. So was Soul and Maka...Like Rukia and Ichigo; those two have a strange relationship. I found out that it's called "Platonic life partner relationship". How interesting, don't you think?
Do you know about this anime, Eureka 7? I didn't see much but I saw half of episode 5 and then half of episode 9, when it grow on me. Then it gets intense in episode 11-12. The episode 12 was nerve wrecking and it drove me crazy. Episode 13 was great too, even episode 15--OMG, Renton saw Moondoggie and Gidget...together, if you know what I mean. Thank God they had a sequel but that ended too. Dominic is always dashing looking guy, I couldn't believe he's friggin 20 & Anemone is 16! Dewey and Holland being brothers is a shocker, especially their pasts.
You like Deadman Wonderland? It's a gory yet foul language show but it is so good, Ganta and Shiro have a great relationship. No platonic there, it's love eventually in the manga. Episode 6 was really epic, intense, and Minatsuki was a spew-y little brat. But it was really good! Really good....Ha, Ha, Ha! Poor Toto, little cutie....Hmmm. Yo, Minatsuki's brother, he's a piece of sh**, good looking Leon from Resident Evil 4.
Attack on Titan...I've heard of it but never really watched it. But I saw some good stuff a little yet I wasn't interested. But I saw a clip that showed the main character, Eren Jaeger, in his torment after all that he suffered. That's when I watched Attack on Titan and it interests me so much that it was the most amazing anime I've ever seen. But I am obsessed with Eren, fascinated in his torture and his passionate self with a hint of rage within him. Sometimes, I want to take Eren and hold him in my arms. Comfort him and tell him that everything will be fine, calm him....
That's when Leander thought about her: Karina may seem like a happy, sweet, funny, mysterious, and idealistic but underneath is a depressed, distrustful, low self esteem but mixed emotions of love and hate towards herself. She has a great family of her mother and brothers with a cute Shih Tzu puppy. They did nothing to her but sometimes they fight a lot. But she sees her younger brother is a social person and she feels inhuman. She is uneasy around people who may seem like jerks in sheep's wool for she has been through a life of bullying and dealing with 'wolves' in 'sheep's clothing'. She is a forgiving person, a nice girl but she can get her buttons pushed sometimes as she is at the point of losing her mind. She claims that she is crazy, she has a lot of issues. And she wants to be loved, just for who she is. Karina may be a troubled young lady but she wants to get better--Improve much stronger. She wants to write Japanese light novels so one of her books could become a famous anime one day. She saw so many successful animes that she wanted her stories to be one of those prosperous Japanese cartoons.
Chapter 5: Monsters of the Cosmos
Don’t you wish you were a giant? Look down and see how small the world is? How you can step on the buildings, cars, and boats with those clumsy feet? But the best part is to touch the sky. What if the giants could eat humans, grind their bones into bread? Well, as scary as it sounds, there are kinds like that. They are called Jotnars, they come down from beanstalks to prey on humans, to grind their bones into loaves of bread and then they go back to their homes, up the beanstalk they go. To make sure the Jotnars never come down again, a human must chop down a beanstalk, removing all contact from the human world. Unfortunately, no human has ever tried that but one day, it happened. There once a young man name Jack Elisha, his mother was a widow name Cordelia and they were very poor. Cordelia asked him to take a cow, which doesn’t give off milk anymore, and sell it for money. Jack did what his mother told him to, but he comes across a merchant that was selling ‘magic beans’. So, Jack sold the cow and bought the beans, he went home to show them to his mother. Cordelia was furious, she threw the beans out the window as mother and son argued. They argued on and on until Jack went up to his mother. Jack and Cordelia feel guilty as well as in anguish. That night, the magic beans grew into a tall beanstalk. Amazed yet curious; Jack slipped out of his room as he climbed up the humongous plant to…who knows where it goes! After climbing for a while, Jack found a place of big mansions. More big, beautiful than his cottage. “I must be dreaming, could this be Heaven?” Jack thought. He begins to walk to the mansion, he knocks on the door. Nobody answered. Jack waited and waited, however he got tired waiting. Jack sighed and leaned against the door, which opens as he stumbled inside. He looked up to see a gigantic figure. Jack was so petrified that he hid as he heard a booming voice, “Fee! Fi! Fo! Fum! I smell the blood of a human. He’d better be alive or dead, I’ll grind his bones into bread.”
The footsteps went out of the door. Once the giant was gone; Jack let out a sigh of relief and looked around. In one room, he was astounded to find a chamber of gold. Jack took a stack of gold, sneak out of the mansion and back to his house to anonymously leave it for Cordelia, who was still asleep. When Cordelia woke up to see gold, she was genuinely happy to see this as Mother and son were joyful of the ‘miracle’ bestow upon them. Every night, Jack sneak up to the beanstalk every night. He crept into the giant’s mansion and always steal the gold. He goes back to his house with the gold. Jack kept doing this without getting caught. Until one night, it was nearly dawn, Jack was caught by a Jotnar name Goliath. Jack ran as Goliath chased after him. Down the stalk Jack went as he was much faster and went to his axe to chop down the stalk. Jack was successful as Goliath went down, timber! Goliath was dead as Jack decapitated him and brought it to the king as victory against the Jotnars. Jack was rewarded as a hero and he & his mother lived in good lives of a nice home. Think it was a happy ending? Oh no, from above of the Jotnars; they were outraged by Goliath’s death so the King of Jotnars named Eurymedon ordered the other Jotnars to throw down some magic beans where beanstalks grew and down the Jotnars went. They destroyed the humans, almost—Jack and his mother escaped where they found a place called Riesentöter, a safe haven from the Jotnars. Unknown to Jack; A blacksmith name Lleu Tengri who has created 10 feet tall fighting machine robots, Homunkurusu. The only way to control a Homunkurusu is to enter a blood pact and then they will fight their own Homunkurusu against the Jotnars and their vicious pets, Wyverns. Jack was determined to take down all Jotnars, they will never exist again.
Jack befriends others who are determined to take down the Jotnars. His best friends from childhood, Tengil David and Donna Soren, are very close to one another. There are others that he met: George Tinia, Indra Turms, Siegfried Liber, Tristan Liber, Margaret Rath and her sister Terra. Even the mysterious Alice Tengri, Lleu’s daughter. The ones in charge of this is Commander Michael Calanice and Vice Commander Heinrich Nethuns. Lleu has a team of blacksmiths; their names are Pygmalion Daksha and Cadmus Zamba. They created many Homunkurusus: Talos, Amrita, Bloduedd, Pinocchio, Pandora, Galatea, Prometheus, Gram, Titania, and Pyrrha. The Jotnars that come down from the beanstalks are Blunderbore, Cormoran, Thunderdell, Rebecks, Ymir, Kalev, Surt, Mimir, and Typhon with their Highness of the King--Eurymedon. They have 'pets' to fight the humans easily too, they are called wyverns. The wyverns are Baslisk, Behemoth, Bunyip, Catoblepas, Griffin, Kraken, Leviathan, Ziz, Qilin, Manticore, Myrmcoleon, and Phoenix. The allies that Tamsin gathered had returned to their worlds. But she is not here to gather more allies, she is here to help people. Tamsin learned that Jack was struggling with his training yet he never gave up and he made great success eventually for days. He couldn't wait to face the Jotnars however they were attacked unsuspectedly, as Jack try to get in the pilot seat of his Homunkurusu. Tamsin had an instinct of what happened and decided to make her first mission of aiding someone to victory. Jack tried to turn the igniton however the Homunkurusu would not start. Jack panicked, he didn't want to die here. Not here, not now. "C'mon, start! START!" Jack yelled.
On his communication, there was a sizzle as Tamsin's voice startled him, "The ignition, it's been cut. You gotta fix it down there." She said. "Who's this? How did you hack into the communication?" Jack demanded. "Don't worry about that, you got to fix it, do you wanna die here?" Tamsin commanded. Jack looked frightened for an instant and obeyed of what Tamsin was telling him. Slowly, Jack begin to trust Tamsin and managed to tell the others about their mysterious ally. So, the other soldiers--who were uncertain about all this--decide to go along with this plan and they are guided by Tamsin's instructions on using the Homunkurusu to cut down the beanstalks and slaying all the giants. Just as they were doing all this, they heard some sort of magic singing in the wind: "I'm clumsy, and my head's a mess. Cause you got me growing taller everyday, We're giants in a little man's world, My heart is pumping up so big that it could burst. Been trying so hard not to let it show, But you got me feeling like. I'm stepping on buildings, cars and boats. I swear I could touch the sky. Ohhh ohh ohhh, I'm ten feet tall. Ohhh oh ohhhh, I'm ten feet tall." Call it crazy, but the hypnotic singing helped everyone defeat the giants. They did, as victory came to them but they couldn't help wonder who was that singing. Tamsin left that world and reported to Leander what happened. Meanwhile at Blue Moon; Mordred is in the quarters of his room, he was thinking about how to get at Gareth in spite of what happened without letting his former identity being exposed. That's when he heard some sort of siren song humming mystically yet creepily. Mordred wondered if it was the wind but then he heard someone singing in a pretty voice: "Hush, child. The darkness will rise from the deep, and carry you down into sleep. Child, the darkness will rise from the deep, and carry you down into sleep...." As the singing was happening; he felt like someone was in aiding his memories of his past. He clutched his head as he panted and wondered who is doing this. "Who was that singing? Was this siren seething into my mind? Trying to see what goes on in my head?"
In a steampunk world of fantasy modern era. A place called Aotearoa Village, reside of the Diyes Domain. A royal family called the Lightwaters ruled the land. But the family must sacrifice their own daughter. Teenage Seraphina Lightwater is 15 years of age; she is not too comfortable to be sacrificed to the dragon, however her family said that is the way to sacrificed to the gods. Seraphina was isolated from the world for all her life: She wanted a life she never had like friendship or the love of her life. The dragon of the sacrificial ceremony is usually Vesper. The Lightwaters got a new dragon, his name is Emeraldblood. Emeraldblood seems fierce and powerful dragon, nevertheless he doesn’t seem comfortable in the environment he’s in, which confuses the guards. Although it wasn’t a good idea for Princess Seraphina to see the dragon until tomorrow; she sneaks out of her room to see it. When Emeraldblood woke up, Seraphina wasn’t scared. Emeraldblood look over at the beautiful princess. “Emeraldblood, I always wish I could have a different life and not be sacrificed. But I have to go, my time has come.” said Seraphina sadly. She leaves as the dragon watched her go. As Seraphina slept; her parents, King Seraphim and Queen Antoinette, talk about the ceremony as they wish the gods would allow their daughter to live. The next morning, Seraphina is dressed for the ceremony in white attire and prepares for the dragon, she is tied to a pole as Emeraldblood is presented. The ceremony begins, tears filled Seraphina’s eyes but something strange happened. Emeraldblood swooped up and kidnaps the princess. Taking her away from the ceremony. Seraphina is confused, but relieved for not being sacrifice. The princess and the dragon camped under the stars, before the princess fell asleep she muttered, “I still don’t know why you did it but thank you anyway Emeraldblood.” The next day, Princess Seraphina wakes up to find Emeraldblood gone so she searches out to find the dragon. But in the forest, she finds a boy with sea-green hair. He was beautiful, the strange boy looked at Seraphina as his eyes shimmered. Seraphina squints, “Emeraldblood?” She asked. The boy smiled, “Emeraldblood is my dragon identity. My name is Vaeros Pendragon, I am a dragon shapeshifter.” said the mysterious boy. The princess gaped at the boy before dropping on her knees. “Unbelievable.” She muttered. “Boy!” A voice called out, it came from the rustling bushes as it turns out to be a boy with bunny ears. “Who are you talking to—? Thankful Lucky Stars! It’s the Princess of Diyes Domain.” A girl’s voice, jolly and loud, she has cat ears: “In the flesh, Buck! King Seraphim and Queen Antoinette’s daughter right here in front of is!” said the cat girl.
At the Lightwater Palace; Seraphim and Antointee are fretting about the ceremony and their daughter. They are devastated so the King got his weapons and his men to go after Emeraldblood, kill him, and bring their daughter home. In the library; Mordred is seen studying when someone in a soft yet creepy monotone startled him slightly, "You are part of a group but are you plotting to use them to kill the person that tried to kill you out of vengeance? All because he was mad that your hurt his sister? You really should be careful, dear boy. Who knows what could happen to you." It was a woman's voice but the figure was in a cloak as her face wasn't seen. It was visible in that hood and shroud. Mordred smiled arrogantly, "Young lady, you should know that I'm not afraid at what lies before me. I don't think you know me, nor even know what I'm thinking." He claimed. "Oh but I do." said the girl in the cloak. She begin to sing again, her song went like this: "Guileless son, I'll shape your belief, and you'll always know that your father's a thief. And you won't understand the cause of your grief, but you'll always follow the voices beneath. Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty, loyalty. Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty only to me..." It sounded like the same singing. He then saw visions of blood and screamed as he panicked over. But soon realized it was just a dream, because everything looked normal. But he wondered if it was ever a dream or a vision of fate. He went away to a cathedral but but as he was doing so, the voice haunts him down the halls as the siren was reading his memories by her song, "Guileless son, Your spirit will hate her. The flower who married my brother the traitor, and you will expose his puppeteer behavior, for you are the proof of how he betrayed her loyalty. Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty, loyalty. Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty only to me..." The memories of Gareth, his beautiful sister, and Anna came into his head as he clutched his head again, breathing and moaning.
For the time being; Tamsin watched Seraphina and Vaeros together, they seem to get along nicely but they seem to be shy and in love with one another. Tamsin begins to observe this as she imagines herself as she is now with Sean, she could see herself with him. They're holding hands and smiling at one another and Tamsin couldn't be any more happier that she already have. But in reality, much to her dismay, Sean was dead. She could never have that--even if she wanted to, it was impossible. No, she had Mateo--He looked like Sean, maybe she can still have it. However, Seraphina is in trouble with a lot of enemies who are trying to bring them back: Chained to a rock as a sacrifice to sate the monster, forced to marry by a cruel man, stuck in a tower, fall into unconsciousness, being rescued by monsters, turned into a monster while being held by a wicked necromancer, and forced to be a slave. But Vaeros, the Rabbit Boy, and Cat Girl have to go and rescue her from danger. But Vaeros had a hard time expressing his love for her. How was he able to? He was half human, half dragon. So, what does Tamsin do? She disguised herself as a merchant and she gives him guidance on how to be more romantic and kind of a gentleman towards Seraphina. In fact; She's teaching how to be a prince almost. Vaeros was quite a bit klutzier at first, making mistakes however Seraphina didn't seem to mind as she saw that his heart had some how beat for a reason. And she could feel her heart beating in her chest. The two of them went on a date, and finally for the first time, they kissed.
Tamsin was happy to do something nice. That was twice today! She was helping someone fall in love. In the meantime, it was getting bad! Antoinette and Seraphim were fretting so Seraphim got his knife and decides to bring his daughter home. They wanted to kill Vaeros however they eventually learned Vaeros was Emeraldblood, who sworn to protect Seraphina and refuse to not let anyone kill her. The gods seemed pleased by this as they decide to let Seraphina live because someone cares for her so much. This mission touched Tamsin, she wept a little but not too much, she learned that she could not end her life because who knows what love might be and makes you live longer. Stressed over by the haunted singing; Mordred was shaken as he sat by the river but felt small hands and arms around his neck as someone sang softly into his ear, "Hush, child, Darkness will rise from the deep. And carry you down into sleep. Child, the darkness will rise from the deep, and carry you down into sleep." That night, while Mordred was sleeping; he heard a hauntingly beautiful voice as he slept: "Guileless son, each day you grow older, each moment I'm watching my vengeance unfold. For the child of my body, the flesh of my soul, Will die in returning the birthright he stole. Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty, loyalty. Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty only to me...Hush, child, the darkness will rise from the deep. And carry you down into sleep. Child, the darkness will rise from the deep, and carry you down into sleep." In the meantime; Leander asked his squad: "Did you found her location?" He asked. "Karina? Yes, I did." said Frederick. "Where is she now?" Leander asked. "She's in a place known as World Tree Academy, in Fortunate Isles." reported Dietrich. So, Tamsin and Blue Moon head over to their next location.
Later; Tamsin and Mateo are stand among the school in Fortunate Isles. “Are you ready for this?” asked Mateo. “No. No way, are you?” said Tamsin. “No. But, it’s a first I guess.” replied Mateo. The children of World Tree Academy are almost Ophelia-like. They may be whatever age they are but still act quit childish. They have sensory stimulation, social triggers, communication problems, and unusual interests. They have disheveled hair. They are running around babbling lyrically about the strange visions flashing through her deranged mind, singing creepy little rhymes, scattering flowers and occasionally bashing people's heads in. Let’s start with the upstairs part of World Tree; there were 12 children of the middle school: Amala—A girl who would say hi to those. When they didn’t respond or if they did say hi; she stared at them. Amala sometimes can hit without any reason why. She knows what is wrong or right, she just does it anyway. Kamala—a girl who laughs loudly, an irritating sound that was sonorous. Kaspar—He was pretty hard to understand. Kaspar smiles all the time and it looks still that way either he is upset. But some people think he has no feelings however he does. Victor—He was nonverbal kid who didn’t talk so much and always step forward and back repeatedly. Hans—A young boy with childlike characteristics. He can say random things that some people cannot understand what he is saying and Hans can get violent. He can hit, he can run away, he once hit his head into a wall and made a big hole in it. It was really bad. But he is no longer in school because of some seizures he has been suffering from. Vicente—He is a boy with childlike characteristics, like Hans, but he jumps around and talks of random things. Sometimes, if it’s so loud in there, then he leaves the room ranting on and on about something.
Belo—A kid who is full of energy. He likes to skip around while shaking and playing with a plastic strand from something. He would go up to a teacher for something in a strange tone: “May I use computer?”, “May I use the bathroom?” or “May I ride the school bus?” When he is told no, he either repeats it over and over, or he shouts for what he wants. Such as “MAY I HAVE OATMEAL?!” He can get crazy so he needs to be restrained. Danielle—a young girl who is disobedient and wants things but she refuses to do work. Sometimes people kind of bribed her in order for her to comprehend, they promise her and they would reward her if she does what she has to do. Danielle says sorry a little and says that she wants a toy or computer. Lauren—she is a young girl, rounded kind. She zones out a lot, talking to herself, and makes a mess when she eats or drinks. When something is missing or something goes wrong, she cried, making noises and biting herself. Ramachandra—a nonverbal child who has a habit of eating things, goodness knows where! From the floor, chewing on his clothes, picking his belly button, and all sorts of things. It is really disturbing. He likes to look in if there is a movie or game playing. Sometimes Ramachandra would cry over something, either for attention or because he had to get off of something. Robert—a strange boy, he smiles at times. But he makes a horrible hack cough sound. But he has feelings just like a normal person and tells the truth. Saturday—a young teen who looks like and acts like a child. He likes warm hugs, he refuse to move and sometimes makes noises like ‘uh oh’. A person, helper or teacher, must gently encouraged him and he finally gets up.
In the downstairs of World Tree is bustling with noises of crying and scolding. There are 11 elementary kids: Alex—Alex was an adorable boy with cherubic cheeks that were round and made him look like a Cupid baby. He sometimes makes noises, since he cannot uses his words and always threw such crying fits and tantrums. Ivan—A little boy who is a happy boy. Laughs, he is unaware of what’s funny and what is not. He displays inappropriate behavior around Alex like kissing his cheek. It is all too strange. Peter—He is a strange fellow who can get aggressive. Peter looks like he’s going to beat up anyone. He is misbehaved yet he is a rosy cheeked, sturdy boy. Daniel—a happy looking boy but can zone out a little but he has progressed much better, he can get into trouble himself. Like Peter, he is a bulky and turned scarlet-red on his face slightly. Genie—Genie is a little girl who is seen singing to herself, sometimes when she is stressed; she bites herself. But now has a key-chain where she can bite on it. Enkidu—an adorable boy who laughs loud but it is still cute though. He is one of the nicest kids with disabilities. He always say this, which he is usual catchphrase, “Are you OK?” over and over a little. Then, he says: “I’m OK.” over and over again. Pecos Bill ‘P.B.’—An adorable boy who has a small chin, slanted eyes, a flat nasal bridge, a single crease of the palm, and a protruding tongue due to a small mouth and large tongue. Troublemaker yet he is lovable with his face and he can talk, he can understand other things. John—a boy who babbles and he is misbehaving. But he is progressing a little better. Ramu—Ramu is a little girl who is aggressive. She refuses to do anything and she can skip around.
Traian—this kid has a smile on his face. But he talks in a deep voice at times. He thinks that the things he does when he disobeys are funny but they are not amusing. Traian has a habit of getting attention by shouting, ‘Ooohhh!’ repeatedly. The only way he stops is by being told to touch his nose or counting to calm down. Andrei—He is nonverbal that makes noises. Andrei sometimes can have meltdowns and cries uncontrollably. Romulus—He is sometimes doesn’t talk and makes noises when he is upset but is unable to say it. Romulus always put his fingers in his mouth, only two. He is getting better in time with a helper. And finally, Remus—a boy with fair hair boy who is in a wheelchair. He is fed food that is mashed up and has to wear a bib because he makes a mess. His helper is a kind lady. The elementary mornings go like this: There is prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance, sing along, they have to do work, and one of the students have learning therapy. Then they go out for P.E., the children finally come back to go to the bathroom, and have lunch. In the afternoons; the children have different classes like TaeKwon-Do, they have music but some are hypersensitivity to the noises, and they go outside to play. They have snack and then they go home. The kids in the middle school have a different lesson in class: They have prayer and the Pledge, they have work to do. Next they go down for P.E. and then snack, then they go back to do their work, and finally they have lunch. They have music or some of them are having physical or learning therapy. And lastly they go home. There are some stressful days of kids having major outbursts that would go on for minutes, maybe hours. Some who are disobedient, and some that make accidents. For Tamsin and Mateo; it was like a day care. Insanity, the other staff members acted apathetic of the situation as it seem. But it wasn't like they care but they try to calm them and they've experienced such as getting bitten and scratched. At the end of the day; The two of them are exhausted, Tamsin begins to think of the abuse she suffered when she was little girl. She realized that a couple of teachers are mistreating kids, keeping them from having fun because they can't 'behave right'. Tamsin and Mateo is troubled by this, they think these kids should be positively reinforcement and not be handled roughly. Tamsin been through that, these kids shouldn't be treated this way and something must be done.

In the meantime; Leander was looking around for any sign of Karina but he found one clue of her: He found Karina's diary but it wasn't any ordinary diary. It was an anime obsessed journal as it seems, the first few entries went like this: Do you like Bleach? It was created by Tite Kubo, he was going to create a story about someone with a sniper but the idea of a sword came to his head. As for the title, it was the colors of black and white. Like he imagine a person in black and some sort of person in white. That's how Bleach was born! At first I wasn't interested; but when it came to when Rukia was kidnapped and Ichigo and his pals go to rescue her from the Soul Society. During their time with the Shiba clan, Ichigo told the big fellow, Ganju, about Rukia. He said he 'owe' Rukia for saving his life. That aroused me with such curiosity: What was the relationship between Ichigo and Rukia? Was it love? Romance? No, it was much more than that. Not love, but something else. Huh, there was some interesting characters...Ikkakku Madarame, the 3rd Seat of Squad 11. A violent streak, and goes by the creed: 'You're not beaten until you're dead.' Hmph! Talk about a sadistic bastard but he's funny...He's not so dangerous when he's like that. I like Yumichika, though he's friggin' annoying with those egoistic comments. And his seat? The fifth! Haha, ahem!
Did I ever tell you about Fairy Tail? Huh, I didn't know it existed until I saw the magazine cover of Natsu, Lucy, Gray, Erza, and Happy. Although I didn't see Happy but I was truly amazed and started watching it. It was amazing, funny, sad, heartwarming, epic. I have the hots for Gray, despite the friggin' stripping habit...Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha! I even enjoyed that Deliora story arc, Lyon is quite demented but eventually had a change of heart. I like those mages from Lamia Scale; my favorite will have to be Yuka, bushy brow dude with blue flame hairdo--I like his new look in the seven year time skip, nice! Hee-Hee-Hee! Juvia, that crazy water chick is a hoot! Love at first when that moonstruck aqua sorceress saw that ice boy. Heh, and you know what makes it appear even more hilarious? Lyon's fallin' for Juvia, a love triangle! Hahahahahaha! So kewl! Speaking of kewl; Did I ever tell you about those womanizer host club wizards, The Trimens--Pfff! OMG, They are so hot! Except for the leader, Ichiya, who apparently is an ugly puss but he believes to be handsome to the ladies....Yeah, NOT! But the others, soooo dreamy! Ren, the tsundere womanizer, he's got wind magic. Eve, the cutie womanizer, he's got snow magic--Wow! And last but not least, my favorite Hibiki--hottie there--archive magic. So, that's kewl
Have you ever heard about Soul Eater? I got interested when I discovered Death the Kid, Liz, and Patty. Ahhh, they were so kewl. Especially episode 30, totally awesome! Kid can kick ass. So was Soul and Maka...Like Rukia and Ichigo; those two have a strange relationship. I found out that it's called "Platonic life partner relationship". How interesting, don't you think?
Do you know about this anime, Eureka 7? I didn't see much but I saw half of episode 5 and then half of episode 9, when it grow on me. Then it gets intense in episode 11-12. The episode 12 was nerve wrecking and it drove me crazy. Episode 13 was great too, even episode 15--OMG, Renton saw Moondoggie and Gidget...together, if you know what I mean. Thank God they had a sequel but that ended too. Dominic is always dashing looking guy, I couldn't believe he's friggin 20 & Anemone is 16! Dewey and Holland being brothers is a shocker, especially their pasts.
You like Deadman Wonderland? It's a gory yet foul language show but it is so good, Ganta and Shiro have a great relationship. No platonic there, it's love eventually in the manga. Episode 6 was really epic, intense, and Minatsuki was a spew-y little brat. But it was really good! Really good....Ha, Ha, Ha! Poor Toto, little cutie....Hmmm. Yo, Minatsuki's brother, he's a piece of sh**, good looking Leon from Resident Evil 4.
Attack on Titan...I've heard of it but never really watched it. But I saw some good stuff a little yet I wasn't interested. But I saw a clip that showed the main character, Eren Jaeger, in his torment after all that he suffered. That's when I watched Attack on Titan and it interests me so much that it was the most amazing anime I've ever seen. But I am obsessed with Eren, fascinated in his torture and his passionate self with a hint of rage within him. Sometimes, I want to take Eren and hold him in my arms. Comfort him and tell him that everything will be fine, calm him....
That's when Leander thought about her: Karina may seem like a happy, sweet, funny, mysterious, and idealistic but underneath is a depressed, distrustful, low self esteem but mixed emotions of love and hate towards herself. She has a great family of her mother and brothers with a cute Shih Tzu puppy. They did nothing to her but sometimes they fight a lot. But she sees her younger brother is a social person and she feels inhuman. She is uneasy around people who may seem like jerks in sheep's wool for she has been through a life of bullying and dealing with 'wolves' in 'sheep's clothing'. She is a forgiving person, a nice girl but she can get her buttons pushed sometimes as she is at the point of losing her mind. She claims that she is crazy, she has a lot of issues. And she wants to be loved, just for who she is. Karina may be a troubled young lady but she wants to get better--Improve much stronger. She wants to write Japanese light novels so one of her books could become a famous anime one day. She saw so many successful animes that she wanted her stories to be one of those prosperous Japanese cartoons.
