Knowing what was wrong and exactly how to fix it, I have been keeping on the healing/strengthening path and hopefully it won't be long before I'm more or less healthy again; though I fear that I have been left with some lasting damage for the rest of my life.<br />Still jobless, but this and the next few months will tell.<br />That said, anyone who wishes to know more may ask.<br /><br />*sigh..shakes head* Well I have been yet again thwarted from working on and finishing some of my works, my novel "The Kingdom of Forever" being one of them. Not by choice, I assure you. My computer desided to die on me and I can't retrieve my writings, or even turn it on, until I get it fix. I'm sure that the motherboard has decided to go out for the fifth time in a row and it will unfortunatly take money that I don't have to get it replaced again.<br />Until that happens, I am left to pound my head; but I am by no means left with nothing to do. New poems, tales and possibly artworks are lining themselves up on me. The current one I'm working on for <a href="http://tedzerds21.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/t/e/tedzerds21.gif" alt=":icontedzerds21:" title="tedzerds21"/></a>'s Writing Contest <a href="http://tedzerds21.deviantart.com/journal/27435249/">[link]</a> has especially been boring into and frying my brain as I delve into the <i>Lord of the Rings</i> for inspiration. <br />Another one has been doing the same as I also delve into Pirates of the Caribbean for that inspiration.

I hope youÂve been well.<br /><br />ItÂs taking me quite a while to try and catch up on the goings on here, as I am still without steady internet access. I trust youÂll forgive that IÂm not able to read or comment to a lot of journals or deviantions thus, but to bare in mind that I do still very much care about each one of you and the fine beautiful work that you create and post. So even if I donÂt comment on it, chances are that IÂve still seen and appreciate it.<br />This said, IÂd like to thank each one of you for still being here and still having a passion for what you do. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />  <br />To those of you that have written some great stories, poems and such that I havenÂt been able to read yet due to lack of internet time, please let me know which ones you would like me to read the most and in which order. I do have the means now of at least saving it to a desk and reading it at home. <br /><br />As for how IÂve been and whatÂs going on in my lifeÂ.it has been a bit stressful and trying on me for the most part. Having my little sister <a href="http://azriaz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/a/z/azriaz.jpg" alt=":iconazriaz:" title="azriaz"/></a> over here visiting has been a relief and joy to me yet again.<br /><br />As some of you recall, I had been trying to get my business up so that I could start working again and getting some money to at least ÂliveÂ. *sigh* Now it seems even that is maddeningly beyond my reach. I am now completely without money and the means of paying off my bills, which are assaulting me at every turn. I would probably be trying to work now, but for the impassable walls that have been set up in front and around me. One of those walls being the lack of funds to pay a business grounds fee to start working in my home with clients at the only job IÂm suited for and can try to handle at the moment. Now I am once again struggling to stay afloat and justÂsurvive.<br />The major cause of all this is, of course, my bad health. I have been weak and sickly with a degrading and often times painful disease ever since the spring of 2008 and suffering with it ever since. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />The good news is that IÂve recently found out almost exactly what the main cause of it is. The bad news is that it is not something uncomplicated and simple to get rid of. <br />To fight for my life or to dieÂthat is my main concern now. Kind of depressing, but IÂm still trying think positively about it. At least I have my writing and artwork to keep my mind calmed and occupied. <br /><br />Anyway, I shall still strive to be here as often as I can, as I find no greater joy than to share lifeÂs interesting experience with all of you. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /><br /><br />I thank you yet again for your support, comments, favourites, watches, spirits, hearts and dear friendships. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/t/thanks.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":thanks:" title="Thanks for everything!" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /> <b>Events</b><br /><br /><br /><b><i>The Kingdom of Forever</i></b><br /><br /><i>Here is seen a future Earth that knows war and death as common as screams upon the night air. Mortals have been set not only against each other, but also against the forces of darkness, with demons that lurk inside every shadow and within the light in human form. Faith diminishes as the human race struggles to survive the evil that has a fanged grip on them, sucking their life and hope away. <br />The end of everything is within grasp and yetÂhope may still flicker to life in a select few of unlikely individuals as they co... ]]></description>

I, with my continuing weakened/sickly condition, don't have any money with to see a doctor (or even to live on for that matter) and have yet to find a job with this fallen economy. <br />My sister, who is in pretty much the same condition, has been trying to hold on to her job so we could at least pay for rent, power and food. However, the last 3 weeks has seen her almost bedridden with her condition and has had to recieve a leave from work at that time just to rest from the strain. That time was also spent in and outside of ER's and doctors offices trying to discover what her condition is exactly. She is trying to slowly get back into working, (with me by her side) though it is proving difficult for both of us. This Tuesday will see us in another doctor's office to hopefully find out the root of her serious condition.<br />In the meantime, we are left literally struggling to support ourselves. We are now having to resort to asking others for help until things go through and we are at a more or less safe level to try to hold our own again.<br /><br />At this time...I through my pride aside and do now humbly ask those of you who are able and/or willing to please donate some money/funds to us, at this time or whenever you can. You can send it by way to my paypal account: laurawolfeyes@hotmail.com (which also accepts credit cards)<br />I don't care just how much any of you can give...even $5 is a blessing.<br />Those who know me here know that this is the first time I've ever asked this of them...and hopefully it will be the last. I certainly understand if you can't, this trouble is nation wide.<br />Those of you who do donate I will be more then happy to make something for you, whether it be an artwork or writing. Just be sure to note and tell me of your donation and art/written request...I want to know who to thank the world of for helping us out. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" /><br /><br />Once again I would like to thank you all for your comments, favourites, watches, kind words, support and friendship. <br />It really does mean so much to me. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/t/thanks.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":thanks:" title="Thanks for everything!" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /> <b>Thoughts</b><br /><br /><br /><i>...and how long must we endure this ever cold - til the weeping willows shead tears to thier awakened roots and the black waters of the deep return once more to their cracked and bleeding shores?</i><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletblack.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblack:" title="Bullet; Black" /><b>Events</b>  <br /><br /><br /><i>MYTH<br />(Fantasy/Mythological)<br /><br />Set in the time and world surrounding Ancient Greece...<br /><br />This is a tale told by an old logopoios (storyteller) about a young warrior woman who finds herself wondering through a mystical land full of wondrous and beautiful creatures. A rich land of inheritance, given only unto the fair and powerful children of Poseidon.<br />She is but a stranger in a god's land, persued by the shadows from her past. Hope of living seems to be lost within the nightmares that so often haunt her dreams...until her fated path leads her into the company and fellowship of a mysterious cloaked man, with eyes so yellow-gold and piercing as the Sun, and his strange feline animal companion, with a gaze as deep as the ocean and beautiful as the moon on a midsummer's night dream...</i><br /><br /><br />*grin* I just couldn't resist. This story is far too good to be kept a secret any longer. <br />I'm hoping that I will be able to start writing it soon, as it is continuing to invade my mind.<br /><br />I will be giving it a PG rating, do only to some violent and bloody scenes. I wish this story to be enjoyed by all at least 10 years and older. Though, it's really up to the parent to decide just what their children can take.<br />I find it interesting how the old/ancient cultures thought and had faith that their young children (say perhaps 8-13 years of age) were mature enough to handle subjects deemed only for adults in these modern times. I suppose the success of a parent relies on just how well they trust and teach their children.<br /><br /... ]]></description>

Don't go back and change it! If you don't like it, you can go back and change it later, and post up the alternate answers, but still make sure to put your first one down.</i><br /><br /><br /><b>1. What will your famous last words be?</b><br /><br /><i>"What we know is not much. What we don't know is enormous."</i><br /><br /><br /><b>2. What's your word?</b><br /><br /><i>Love.<br />You see life as possibility to form deep connections with a few people.<br />Relationships are the center of your world, and you always take time to bond with those you love.<br /><br />You are caring and giving. You enjoy helping those you love.<br />And when it comes to romantic love, you feel passionately ... even in a very long term relationship.</i><br /><br /><br /><b>3. What mythological creature are you?</b><br /><br /><i>Mermaid. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /><br />You are a total daydreamer, and people tend to think you're flakier than you actually are.<br />While your head is often in the clouds, you'll always come back to earth to help someone in need.<br />Beyond being a caring person, you are also very intelligent and rational.<br />You understand the connections of the universe better than almost anyone else. </i><br /><br /><br /><b>4. What kind of monster are you?</b><br /><br /><i>A Ghost.<br />Mysterious, independent, and often unseen - you always do things your own way.<br />You are introverted, shy, and even a little secretive.<br />People are dying to know you better, but you're a difficult person to know.<br />A lot of your contributions to the world are left invisible and unfelt.<br /><br />Your greatest power: Blending in really well<br /><br />Your greatest weakness: Being too passive<br /><br />You play well with: Witches</i><br /><br /><br /><b>5. Could you be a vampire?</b><br /><br /><i>You could definitely be a vampire.<br />Immortality, staying pretty forever, not having to get a job... you could definitely eat some flesh for these things.<br />It's not that you're a murderer by nature. In fact, you're probably the furthest thing from it.<br />However, if you woke up a vampire, you'd certainly be able to adapt and enjoy your new lifestyle.<br />There might not be much better than living forever, even if it means giving up your soul.<br /><br />What you would like best about being a vampire: Being a total outsider<br /><br />What you would like least about being a vampire: Other vampires</i><br /><br /> ]]></description>

So..they made a special trip over here this last weekend. We had fun being in each others company, exchanging gifts and having roast beef holiday dinner.<br />My Mother gave me a nifty blanket and some books that I was interested in.<br />My Dad gave me a sharp <a href="http://www.deadwoodknives.com/Items/sw%20121rwj%20congress%2088?sck=139158&caSKU=sw%20121rwj%20congress%2088&caTitle=Steel%20Warrior%20Large%20Congress%20-%20Red%20Walnut%20Jigged%20Bone%20Handles%20Pocket%20Knife%20Knives">Steel Warrior</a> pocketknife that is apparently guaranteed to draw blood after it is opened/"unsheathed", as both ~<a class="u" href="http://hetemsenar.deviantart.com/">HetemSenar</a> and I found out. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> (They were right in putting their samurai logo on it that way).<br />They also knew of our poor situation and took it upon themselves to buy us a supply of food, even though they are themselves struggling.<br />All my love goes out to these blessed souls, whom are more then worthy of being called "parents". <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletblack.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblack:" title="Bullet; Black" /><b>Events</b>  <br /><i>- 1/8/09</i><br /><br /><br />You know, ones words aren't worth much unless they keep to it themselves. They really shouldn't be talking about others when they are just as bad. Hypocritical idiots.<br />*scowl..glaring*<br />Further more, I don't what to hear about any more damned whining coming from those who like to make their own preculations about me and my health problems to my mother. If they really have a problem with it, they can come take it up with me themselves. *cracks neck...wicked grin* That is...unless they're too chicken and scared to say it in front of my face. Heh, bunch of cowards.<br />Don't worry...I'm not talking about any of you here.<br />Anyway, moving on.<br /><br />I need something to fill up time and space while I'm trying to motivate myself into getting my projects done. <br />So...I've decided to start making a collection of works (poems mostly I'm sure, no matter how long or short they want to be) about dreams and nightmares that I've had. I think I'll call it..."Dreamscapes of Unknown Lore". This because my dreams tend to border on the same feel and ground as a lot of Stephen King and L.P. Lovecraft stories. <br />In fact, my novel "Myth" that I'm going to write is also based off a deep dream I had.<br />Heh, and I hear that's where old Stephen also gets a lot of his inspiration from.<br /><br /><br />Oh...I almost forgot. I made some new plz icons for DA.

Name: Laura</b><br /><br /><i>- The person with this name is the most amazing person you will ever meet. After you say hi to her, magic fairy dust will sprinkle on your head and then you'll be able to FLY! OMG! Who WOULDN'T want to fly?</i><br /><br />Heh, for those of you who thought I was a man, don't worry. I actually take it as a compliment. I'm a man trapped in a woman's body. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /><br />Thus I am also open to say right now that I am a Transgender Straight Asexual.<br /><br /><br /><b>2. Age: 27</b><br /><br /><i>- the age all rockstars die at: <br />jimi hendrix <br />jim morrison <br />janis joplin <br />kurt cobain <br />alexander the great <br />james dean <br />river phoenix</i><br /><br /><br />*rolls eyes* Great. Like I needed to hear that.<br /><br /><br /><b>3. What should you be doing: Poetry</b><br /><br /><i>- Indirectly stating what you mean or directly stating something that parallels what you really mean. Adding depth and making the reader use their wit through parallels in indirect examples allows for powerful connections and is characterized as poetic writing. Commonly created by patience in organization and witty connections.</i><br /><br />I..guess so. Man, that makes it sound like something that's really hard to do.<br /><br /><br /><b>4. Favorite Color: Crimson</b><br /><br /><i>- Someone or something that is the greatest example of the color Crimson. The person is usually vastly intelligent, silent but when speaks; speaks with wisdom, somewhat durable, often dark and mysterious at first, and is caring and sweet. <br />As a color, Crimson is the color of blood and shows that it is dark, bold, and shows a great meaning behind it. <br /><br />- A talented Ninja. Capable of kicking your ass to a bloody pulp. Kind, caring, sweet, and good-looking. Musically inclined, and very creative.</i><br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /><br /><b>5. Birthplace: Wyoming</b><br /><br /><i>- The state with the lowest population. Home to towering mountains and spacious plains. Populated pre-Columbus by the Shoshone, Crow, and Lakota Indians. Currently populated with cowboys, roughneck oilfield workers, Indians, and generally nice people who love the outdoors, and hate the way the rest of America lives. 90 percent of said population could probably kick your ass in half. By the by, not a favorite place for homosexuals (remember Matt Shepard?). Yes, everyone in Wyoming has a gun, and really wants to shoot something. <br /><br />- Some Gigantic black hole out in the middle of nowhere in the United States that sucks the soul and life out of everything that gets too close.</i><br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" /> So true. <br /><br /><br /><b>6. Month of your birth: May</b><br /><br /><i>- may is the month where teachers think that they can control a classroom but really nothing gets done and no one cares about their grades anymore. usually this happens because summer break is only 30 days away</i><br /><br />*pleasant sigh* Always a month to look forward to.<br /><br /><br /><b>7. Last person you talked to: Little Sister</b><br /><br /><i>The most annoying beings on the face of the planet. They strive to drive you absolutely nuts. And when you get mad at them for driving you absolutly nuts, they have tantraums.</i><br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> Got ta love them.<br /><br /><br /><b>8. One of your nicknames: Vampyre</b><br /><br /><i>- The olde english way of spelling vampire. <br /><br />- 1. A cooler way to spell "vampire". <br />- 2. A vampire, but instead of transforming into a bat, he appears to spontaneously combust vanish. <br /><br />- A dyslexic vampire</i><br /><br />Hahaha....I actually am dyslexic.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Seems that it's spirit is still in the air and so is the blessed peace and calm that it brings throughout the world. I hope that it stays that way, for a while at least. <br />Of course, hopes are not enough to stop destiny. I sense that something ominous stirring...something that may shatter this earthy peace.<br /><br />Winter has hit hard here. A white Christmas is nice, I suppose. A beautiful and calming sight to behold.<br />I just wish that it didn't have such a painful/negative effect on my body. *cough..cough* This looks to be a long winter for me. Perhaps, in time, I can finally put this weak and sickly state behind me.<br /><br />I see people have been talking about what they got/gave for Christmas. It's all nice to hear.<br />I wasn't able to give much, but I sure received a great deal...from many. <br />Our recent death in the family this week didn't help us to feel the Christmas spirit at first, but...that changed...<br />I think...that the greatest gift I could have received...was from all of you. Your kindness, cheerfulness, support and friendship...<br />...and I thank you for it, deep from the bottom of my heart and soul.<br /><br /><a href="http://bigheartplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/b/i/bigheartplz.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconbigheartplz:" title="bigheartplz"/></a><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletblack.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblack:" title="Bullet; Black" /><b>Spotlight</b><br /><br /><br />Since I'm in a poetic mood, (Heh..when am I ever not?)

My father's side saw my 10th great grandfather Edward Doty, the pirate of the Mayflower and Plymouth colony (heh..no wonder where I get it from), participating in the first Thanksgiving feast. While my mother's side saw my native coastal ancestors on the opposite side of the table thus.<br />I suppose this holiday has become more personalized for me the that way.<br /><br />I've been in fairly good spirits these passed few months, aside from my lingering and sometimes interfering heath problems. <br />It's been great having ~<a class="u" href="http://azriaz.deviantart.com/">Azriaz</a> here. Sure will miss her when she does back to Germany next month.<br /><br />My apologies to those of you who have been waiting for projects, replies, updates...ect. I have been very busy and stressed of late. Hopefully I can get myself caught up now...in good time.<br />I would say that I'm gaining my strength back steadily and will hopefully be back in the game more or less by the beginning of next year.<br /><br />Heh...speaking of 'games', I had quite an interesting and amusing time watching some Crocodile Football. <br />If you've never heard of it, it's an American football game where the timed opposing team has to go up against a whole team of real crocs set throughout the entire opposite side of the field. Running while passing the football to each other, the team usually will try to jump over the crocs high and fast. They can try hitting and plowing into them to get by, but that may leave them getting bitten, chomped, mangled and even eaten.<br /><br />*grin*<br />It's quite a violent sport. I hope to see another game of it again in my dreams.<br />I wonder what Steve would say about it? <a href="http://queenofhobos.deviantart.com/art/CRIKEY-22614853">[link]</a><br /><br /><a href="http://rebecker.deviantart.com/art/Steve-Irwin-42566856">GO FLORIDA CROCS!!!</a><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /> <b>Spotlight</b><br /><br /><br />Since I'm in a poetic mood, (Heh..when am I ever not?)

                <description><![CDATA[ Let me tell you all a story. A story about the birth of a half-demon.<br /><br /><br /><i>It was on one dark night 27 years ago to this day, in a hospital in a small town of far off beautiful countryside. Well...there was this woman and her loving husband beside her...both expecting her to give birth the next day to the child in their hopes.<br /><br />Now...you would think that this would be a more or less happy occasion for them. For the father it was, but the mother was having some problems with it. She being a bit more sensitive  and in tune with the different forces and realms around her, thus she had been plagued by demons for quite a while...with this pregnancy especially. She didn't know the full reason, but she new it had something to do with the advent child inside her. On one of these fun little occasions, the demons had invaded her dreams and she saw them before her with her unborn child in there hands..their lustful eyes gleaming at it and her. It was their intention to take the child from her, by its death preferably, and consume it within their darkness.<br />The horrified mother, upon seeing this and knowing it all in her heart, forced the infant from their grasp and ran away with it...followed by her unrestful awakening from the dream.<br /><br />Well, on the late eve of this child's birth, the mother could sense those demons roaming all around. She know it was their intention to kill her child and/or pleasingly watch it die. She didn't know why they wanted it so badly...but she knew that she had to stop them and do everything she could for her baby, as any good mother would act.<br />As the dark hour started to near midnight (the witching hour), she could sense that they were ready to strike. It might have been like any other ordinary midnight, but this night had been ritually set as one that leaps forword at the witching hour, hence that hour would be lost in time and that is when the devils would strike; for they knew it was the child's destiny to be born out of time.<br /><br />As the hour came the demons made their move. The mother then came into deathly labor. The child, from whatever cause of the demons, was dying inside. The labor came quick, as the baby was expelled from her in a great wave. The baby had stoped breathing for a time before and had turned a deathly color in its lifeless and stone cold state. After a time of trying to save it they stoped, for all had given up hope for this child that was now dead.<br />However, as fate would have it, the doctor who had just arrived, being hindered along the way by the demons, took up the lifeless body and in examining it...found it to indeed be dead....all except for  the slow unsteady beats from its heart..the strongest thing in its body.<br />Upon finding this only small hope, the doctor began to breath his life into the death of the child. Time went by and all the others witnessing it wondered when this man would give up, for they saw that it was hopeless themselves.<br />After what seemed to be ages the doctor finally stoped...but this only because the child's heart began a slow but steadly rhythm and then began to breath on its own. However, this is all it did beyond its death state. It had to be given extreme heat in order to warm its lifeless body. Slowly life had come to it and remained, but...the child remained hence forth both dead and alive from that hour when time was lost to the world.<br /><br />Since then, the child grew in the years following, but it was not a normal childhood. Other adults and children could see that it was different from them. Something mysterious and strange...thus they did not trust it and beat it down when ever they could, by demon and human alike. It was a thing of fear to both their kinds, thus it had to remain weak so that it would not overcome them all. <br />Little did they know...that their constant torture of the child was only making it stronger and more powerful. The humans wished for it to simply leave their presence, but the devils knew better. They knew what this child was and the fate it was destined to carry out. They wanted it dead...as they did from the beginning.<br /><br />They knew the truth of what the child began to understand itself... that it was both demon and human, for only such a being could be born out of time and rise from death. Such a child as this that since remained connected to the realms of the humans, demons and spirits both death and unborn.<br />Such a powerful being this child in growing was destined to become...for it was also its chosen destiny to become the key savior and destroyer of the world and the netherworld...a demon unto demons and humans alike. <br />A being with the power to save or destroy both of its own kinds...when the time comes and...even now.</i><br /><br /><br />*grin* Fun little story, don't you think. I rather liked telling it myself.<br />Hope you all enjoyed it too. Heh...guess I was just in the mood for it.<br />But...anyway...<br... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well now....I have been through a  surgery two weeks ago to determine exactly what my illness was. It turned out to be a fairly rare disease involving the virus/bacteria Mesenteric Adenitis that has caused a bad spreading infection in my abdomen...and weakening/paining reaction through the rest of my system.<br /><br />With everything envolved...I have been in fight and painful recovery for more then a month now. I suppose I am doing a bit better then I was. Still...with the come and go of still present symptoms...I am not improving as much as I would like. At this rate...it will probably be another month until full recovery from this...hopefully.<br /><br />One good thing from this...I have been able to take a much needed rest from the added great stresses and pains of this world that have been weighing on my laden body and soul.<br />Still....there seems to be no end to it.

                <description><![CDATA[ The incident in question, which required me in having a new cloak constructed for my person, was that of a rather highly intoxicated Axel having gone out of control and destroying my last one in the process...as well as part of the castle (see other report here <a href="http://blacklillian.deviantart.com/art/Further-Fermentation-Forays-2-36758162">[link]</a> for details). I have had Number 7 dealing with the matter.<br /><br />However, when I was given my new cloak from the Organization tailors of choice, I did not recieve it pleasingly. There were several flaws in the design that I, myself, have had to remedy.<br /><br />After other past incidents, I believe that this shall be their final tresspass. I shall order for their immediate dismissal and the search for others to take their place.<br />Proceeding which, I shall then have their hearts taken to contribute what little they may have to offer to the progress of Kingdom Hearts.<br />I believe I shall also have Number 7 deal with this troublesome matter, as I have grown quite weary as of late.<br /><br />~ Xemnas <br /><br /><br /><br />~<br /><br />Those who dare to stalk me:<br /><a href="http://hetemsenar.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/h/e/hetemsenar.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconhetemsenar:" title="hetemsenar"/></a><a href="http://azriaz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/z/azriaz.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconazriaz:" title="azriaz"/></a><a href="http://alisaisil.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/l/alisaisil.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconalisaisil:" title="alisaisil"/></a><a href="http://erika18.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/e/r/erika18.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconerika18:" title="erika18"/></a><a href="http://fruitsbasketnaruto.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconfruitsbasketnaruto:" title="fruitsbasketnaruto"/></a><a href="http://sempraseverus.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/e/sempraseverus.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsempraseverus:" title="sempraseverus"/></a><a href="http://quadrant57.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/q/u/quadrant57.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconquadrant57:" title="quadrant57"/></a><a href="http://afushyn.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconafushyn:" title="afushyn"/></a> <br /><br />Those I joy in stalking:<br /><a href="http://8-13.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/8/_/8-13.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icon8-13:" title="8-13"/></a><a href="http://acrylicdreams.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/c/acrylicdreams.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconacrylicdreams:" title="acrylicdreams"/></a><a href="http://afushyn.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconafushyn:" title="afushyn"/></a><a href="http://alexiuss.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/l/alexiuss.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconalexiuss:" title="alexiuss"/></a><a href="http://alisaisil.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/l/alisaisil.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconalisaisil:" title="alisaisil"/></a><a href="http://angelus-tenebrae.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/n/angelus-tenebrae.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconangelus-tenebrae:" title="angelus-tenebrae"/></a><a href="http://arkoniel.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/r/arkoniel.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconarkoniel:" title="arkoniel"/></a><a href="http://azriaz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/z/azriaz.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconazriaz:" title="azriaz"/></a><a href="http://cataclysm-x.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/c/a/cataclysm-x.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconcataclysm-x:" title="cataclysm-x"/></a><a href="http://creativ82.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/c/r/creativ82.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconcreativ82:" title="creativ82"/></a><a href="http://dahlieka.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/a/dahlieka.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondahlieka:" title="dahlieka"/></a><a href="http://destinyfall.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/e/destinyfall.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondestinyfall:" title="destinyfall"/></a><a href="http://dragonfly113.deviantart.com/"... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ This is the calm before the storm and little can truly see it coming. The rush of high winds has already come before it...and now...most are still blind and wandering because of it.<br />The storm shall not came in a great wave....oh no.....I shall came slowly and certainly until it creeps up on all those unexpecting who shall then find themself caught in it. Like a snake to its prey. It shall have them in its jaws and then be at liberty to squeeze to its own desire. To prolong in torture or to kill, either way they shall be its mercy as prisoners.<br /><br />Their blindness and ignorence is unbearable to witness and even more so is their eventual fate. Nothing really matters anymore except for the end and the means toward that fated end. That which must be done and that which I need to do.<br />The plans and cause are all lied out and known. My orders are absolute. I shall carry them out...though the pain grows deeper still every day....as my very soul is in agony....held up only by a scarred body that is determined not to fail.<br /><br />My strength is not really my own these days, but that also given from the divine to ensure that a faithful servant shall not collapse under the great load of the burden fated to carry...for a world that has turned away from the truth and importance of their very existance.<br /><br />Needless to say...I am feeling the unending chaos of it all, even more so that it has all begun now. <br />The prelude to decay is over...and the one who seeks revenge on the world is moving.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ This entry I dedicate to the current situation and arguments going on now with system here at DeviantArt. <br />Now....I am not going to go into everything here, seeing as how I don't have a lot of time on my hands at the moment and the issue has already been fully explored and stated by deviant <a href="http://alexiuss.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/l/alexiuss.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconalexiuss:" title="alexiuss"/></a>. If you wish to know just what is going on with the system then please do go to his journal entries here <a href="http://alexiuss.deviantart.com/journal/">[link]</a> from his latest entry to 3 enrties back with the one when it all began.<br /><br />To make my own little quick arguement, the "change" that I happen to like the least of is the random Favorites on the front page. I don't know about the rest of you but coming on to DA and first viewing that "Your mother" icon did not really appeal to me and frankly did annoy me (and Sephiroth) to some extent.....even as I write this that little deviation is still on the Favorites home/front page doing its little 'thing'.<br />If I want random chaos (which is quite often) then I'll search for it my own way. I don't what it forced upon me.<br /><br />Once again, those of you who are interested in 'fighting the system' please, at least, go to alexiuss's latest journal entry here <a href="http://alexiuss.deviantart.com/journal/16841934/#journal">[link]</a> to find out what is going on and consider signing the Petition to get things back the way they were...or to at least try to improve the situation.<br /><br />The Matrix....ur...System has us. It's time to fight back.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ The world seems to me to be growing fainter. Slipping further into the realm of nothingness that surrounds it...or....perhaps it is I that is slipping. I usually am able to find comfort and rest in the Room of Sleep and in the presence of my 'old friend', but now even that seems to be slowly fading away.<br />The Plan, though it is still making much progress, seems to be less then what it was. It shall take even more time to complete. Time, the ever present destroyer, is not on our side and we still have much to accomplish.<br /><br />As it would seem, the other members are starting to take on the effects, as well...whether they are aware of it or not. <br /><br />While in my absence of retire it seems that Number 4 has been on a constant inquiry to Number 2 as to my eventual return. That, in turn, created some irritation in Number 2; in which case he decided to "take a breather" and took on the task of weekly grocery shopping. This I shall not allow again, as Number 2 and Number 3 have now both been proven unreliable with such a task. I shall then continue to leave this and other certain matters of importance in the more capable and reliable hands of Number 7.<br /><br />On the matter about Number 4 and his irritable impatience, I have decided to give him a certain project to help ease his nerves...which will then ease the nerves of the others in turn.<br />While collecting the heart of someone else in the academic field I happened to come across a project that they were preveiously engaged in. It involved the generational breeding of mice. I have decided to hand this project over to Number 4  and have ordered him to look into and further it by seeing if, through the family's generations, these mice can tap into and release the darkness in their faintly small hearts by no other means save breeding and "conditioning". I have also ordered him to report the activities and progress of this project in the "Scraps" section, as it is more or less an "under the table" project.<br />He seemed slightly irritated and pleased by this "pet" project that I have given him and I heard him name it "Soylent Project" under his breath as he retreated to carry it out. Why he should name it this I am not sure, as it is neither green nor eatable.<br /><br />On an upside...I have recently come across one "Dragonfly113" here <a href="http://dragonfly113.deviantart.com/">[link]</a> who has in his possession some of the finest and more beautiful hearts I have ever seen, and is in the process of gathering even more hearts of egual or higher quality. It shall be a pleasure and relief collecting them for my Kingdom Hearts.<br /><br />On another matter....In my observations and reports from Numbers 2, 4 and 7...I feel something must eventually be done about Number 13 and all that is starting to occur with his behavior and person. As of yet...I am undecided as to the next course of action. However....I am sure that the future shall hold the adequate situation and opportunity for which I shall be able to proceed.<br />It is starting....and he is still unaware. What is truely held in store for the chosen wielder of the Keyblade? How shall he progess...and proceed?<br /><br />~ Xemnas<br /><br /><br />"Ill Fated Heart! and can it be<br />That thou should'st thus be rent in twain?<br />Have years of care for thine and thee<br />Alike been all employed in vain?<br /><br />Yet precious seems each shattered part,<br />And every fragment dearer grown,<br />Since he who wears thee feels thou art<br />A fitter emblem of his own."<br /><br /><br />~ "To a Cornelian Heart Which Was Broken"<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It has been occupying my thoughts of late and I morne so, that I can not be there to comfort those dear to me. As an act, I shall dedicate this verse and recite to those dearly departed:<br />One Alisa, daughter to Jeanie.<br />Also a beloved mother, dear to one Markus.<br /><br /><br /><br />HUSH'D are the winds, and still the evening gloom, <br />Not e'en a zephyr wanders through the grove, <br />Whilst I return to view my dear one's tomb, <br />And scatter flowers on the dust I love. <br /><br />Within this narrow cell reclines her clay, <br />That clay where once such animation beam'd; <br />The king of terrors seiz'd her as his prey, <br />Not worth, nor beauty, have her life redeem'd. <br /><br />Oh !    could that king of terrors pity feel, <br />Or Heaven reverse the dread decree of fate, <br />Not here the mourner would his grief reveal, <br />Not here the muse her virtues would relate. <br /><br />But wherefore weep !    her matchless spirit soars, <br />Beyond where splendid shines the orb of day, <br />And weeping angels lead her to those bowers, <br />Where endless pleasures virtuous deeds repay. <br /><br />And shall presumptuous mortals Heaven arraign ! <br />And madly God-like Providence accuse ! <br />Ah !    no far fly from me attemps so vain, <br />I'll ne'er submission to my God refuse. <br /><br />Yet is remembrance of those virtues dear, <br />Yet fresh the memory of that beauteous face; <br />Still they call forth my warm affection's tear, <br />Such sorrow brings me honour, not disgrace. <br /><br /><br /><br />~ Lord Byron "On the Death of a Young Lady" edited<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ And so it is, from the ever small moments of everyday to the greater moments of destiny.<br /><br />My quest in becoming 'All-Knowing' is succeeding. Now, having joined myself with that which is in between darkness and light, I can truely see fate and destiny how it is ment to be. I now dwell in connection with the higher realm  that is both the beginning and the end of all in darkness and in light....the Void also called Eternity. A Nothingness which is also Everything.<br />Having done so, there is so much that has been made known to me. So much understanding and wisdom...and yet...all of this came with a price....as everything usually does.<br /><br />To have the knowledge of existance...it also follows that one know the fate of existance and the world. To have this knowledge and having transended thus...I have embraced existance in the Void of Eternity and released the bonds which make up the ignorant mortal life. Once this is done...there is know going back. One can only plunge deeper and deeper into vast Nothingness that holds everything in eternal existance.<br />I do not feel or think as I once did. It would seem now that I have grown cold and unfeeling to most matters of the ignorant poeple of this world. This is because it is meaningless to try...knowing what is fated to come.<br />Knowing what I am fated to do.<br /><br />I am sure that not even my Master, wise and great as he is, can know all that is to come. If he could dream or imagine that his one greatest and most devoted Apprentice...is the one fated and destined, alone with my Other, help bring destruction and ruin to this world....<br />....and through the darkness, chaos and ruin of this world shall be born a new world. A world ruled by the heart. A true Kingdom Hearts.<br /><br />Such is the power that I have and will possess....that I shall be the key in opening such a door that shall bind this world to the realm of Eternity...forever.<br /><br /><br />~ Xemnas<br /><br />A poem for this thought ~ "Darkness" by Lord Byron  <a href="http://readytogoebooks.com/Lb-Drk-P85.html">[link]</a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ The chosen one.<br />
<br />
It always seems to come back to it...no matter what I come across...what comes across me. Everything is connected.<br />
I have tryed not to think about it unless I must, but...now....<br />
The time is drawing near...and running out.<br />
Mother and I have felt and sawing it both together in the Lifestream....<br />
What she.......what I...was born to do.<br />
<br />
To help take this world back from those fools who would disregard the Ancients'. Those who would dare to help pollute...to corrupt.<br />
<br />
I am the chosen existance for this end...for the new beginning...a shinning new future.<br />
<br />
I am powerful...yes, but my power is still not what it should be without the reunion. When I finally obtain it... I shall be even more powerful the ever imagined.<br />
Until that time, however, there is still much I need to do...<br />
...yes...much.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ As I take a relaxing midnight stole and gaze up at Olia, I can't help but think of how very alike we really are...how much we have in common. <br />
We have our upsides and our down. Our shades of light and darkness are always changing from night to night and every month is renewed for us time and again. We are both quiet and like the shadows best, but one can hardly miss gazing at or noticing us in awe or fear of night. We both keep even, more of less at most times, as both light and darkness are equal in us. However, we can release great full light  to beam for all to see...just as we can also be taken over with full darkness and vanish entirely.<br />
We both prefer the beautiful stars and are rarely seen in the daylight hours.<br />
Every once in a while it will also happen that our full radiant light can be overtaken and eclipsed by darkness...leaving a glowing red passion of wanderously hellish chaotic moment.<br />
<br />
But perhaps the best qualities we have alike, as I see, are the mystic ignimatic and great powers that we both possess. Able to ebb and flow as we see fit, to turn the tides wherever we will...and to illuminate all with a light of truth that is best seen and understood through darkness and shadow.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Strange how my first entry here should be one after another great spiritual awakening of mine.<br />
My path to truth and ascension leads me on very rough roads indeed, with very heavy burdens to carry. I must say that this latest reviled burden on me must be the greatest of all. However, there is a reason why I, above all, was chosen to complete this mission. Not many would willingly dare attempt what I freely and gladly have done and am about to do in this life. To cross over into Hell to bring lost and presious souls back into the Lifestream.<br />
What then does that say about me?<br />
I would say that it is time for me to stop needlessly lingering in places where I shouldn't, in body , mind and spirit. It is time for me to fully awaken to recieving all that I can in preparation for what is to come.<br />
I have one of the most important roles to play and failure is not an option.<br />
<br />
I am one of the oldest, wisest and strongest of my kind. It is time for me to start finding all that I can of what was hidden from me of my past before entering into this life. The sleeper must awaken to their true powerful strength that they somehow have always known to exist before.<br /><br /> ]]></description>
