The story is about a princess who is kidnapped by an opposing kingdom. It follows her as her reality is shattered and she is brought up to be evil.

The site is much better than this for writing, from what i can see the community is much more helpful in terms of getting advice and constructive criticism, if you wish to improve your writing i suggest you move to the site as well, just remember to look around the categories that your stories fall into and talk with people on the forums, it helps.

I will still be uploading pictures here, in fact i have like ten waiting to be put onto my comp but the stupid scanner is messing up again >>.
I will be leaving the first chapter of each story up to interest people in the story, the rest will be deleted. Also on the new site all chapter lengths have been reduced for those of you who are faint of heart when it comes to long chapters, each chapter averages around 2,500 words.

Well ill see you guys around

i figured out the ending theme which would be "Every time we touch" by Cascade, the beginning theme will likely be "Everybody's fool" by Evanscence

Kamelot "Center of the Universe" will be the the begining theme for the last and final part of the Death Caller Sage "Children of Eve" "Roses are Red" by Aqua will be the ending theme

i will go into further detail if this story is picked over Endless Serenade

ps- I have also been thinking of a space pirate story but havent gotten very far on it
also if you bother reading this please say something here, sometimes it seems as though there are only two people reading my work and seem to care slightly

i havent thought up a name yet becouse it just flickered into my mind earlier today, basic
story line is as follows: there is this guy who moves into a house, the property is very
cheap becouse it is haunted by a fairy that likes nothing more than to torment the people
that live inside the house, after days of pecular things happening the man figures out its is
a fairy when he happened to be reading a folklore book, he sets a trap and catches the
fairy trapping her in a bottle. the book describes how to see fairies and the man does the
ritual enabling him to set the trap and such; after leaving the fairy in the bottle for several
days he listens to what the fairy has to say and lets her go, she stops doing bad things
and eventually falls in love with the man but he already has a girl friend so she has to
watch from the shadows and plot how to win him over.
also i already picked the begining theme : must be dreaming by Frou Frou
this song is what brought this story to my mind

so i was watching Must love Jaws and realised that the song "Your beautiful" would be a good ending theme

but so is the snuggle song that count brought up, O decisions decisions

nvrmind i thought up a name "Endless Serenade" while yes i know it is a contradiction to its own name it eventually having an end

sound interesting?

also im changing the name to Eternal Serenade

on another note i ended up changing the story line just a tad now there are insect like aliens that mingled their way into our society, it is common knowledge and the girl is half of one of these such creatures.
anyway Project Death Caller will be much more formulated than Hellforged just in the fact that i have much more writing experience

Days turn into months and months turn into years of peaceful coexistence in this world of demons and men. “Honey have you seen Jasmine today?” Annie asks Mitsuo as he gets ready to leave the mansion. “she was playing with the other children by the woods in the east why?” Annie is shocked that he does not realize what day it is when she says “its her fifth birthday today, how could you forget?” “my mind has been busy with rumors of demons roaming and pillaging the lands to the west.” The sky becomes dark and rain begins to fall, at first only a sprinkle then it begins to pour from the sky as though the sky itself was crying. Mitsuo mutters “this is an ominous sign. I will gather the children and put watches up.” He puts on his helm and walks out the door, a scream is heard from the east and Mitsuo begins to run towards the scream. Under a large tree he finds the village children but Jasmine is nowhere to be seen, he asks “who was screaming? Where is my daughter?” the children quiver together in fright as a shadow engulfs Mitsuo’s and drool drips onto his shoulder. Mitsuo turns quickly to see as lighting flashes a large demon looming over him with Jasmine in its hand, she is crying and yelling “daddy help me, it wants to eat me.” Mitsuo slashes its arm off in one powerful swing, Jasmine drops to the ground and quickly scurries to cower behind her father. “demon why have you come?” Mitsuo asks the lumbering beast, it response “I was passing through when I saw an easy meal, these children.” Mitsuo is appalled when he yells back “have you no moral ethics to eat other demons what is wrong with you? This can not go unpunished!” he raises his arm and it begins to writhe with Daemonic energy, his arm forms a blade and Mitsuo leaps over the demon slashing it to bits, its carcass crumples to the ground. Wolf howls echo through the woods and the children run away screaming, but Jasmine stands wide-eyed staring at the sliced chunks on the ground before her. Mitsuo’s arm returns to normal and he picks Jasmine up, she is quivering in fear. This being the first time she has seen something killed before her. Mitsuo holds her close and whispers “do not be afraid I will not let them harm you.” As Mitsuo walks the howls get closer and Jasmine crawls into his chest armor plate for shelter. The pitter patter of paws through puddles and mud draws closer, as lighting strikes the woods behind Mitsuo a yelp and a scream emit from deep in the woods. He turns to see several wolf demons at the edge of the woods turn and go back into the woods, his eye opens wide as he sees a child attempting to flee from the wolfs. With a mighty leap he flies through the under brush with the scrapes and scratches announcing his presence to the wolves as they close in on the child. He lands on one of the demons and stands on its squashed body with his hand out stretched to the child, who runs to Mitsuo and Mitsuo yells “what is wrong with the demons of these parts have you gone mad, attacking children!” the wolves flee at the sight of Mitsuo’s Daemonic armor. Mitsuo carries the child back to the village, where every one is gathered and bickering over what to do. Mitsuo announces his presence and a hush falls over the crowd “ no longer are the peaceful days here we must place guards on the boarders and not allow the children to play by the woods any longer, no one is to go any where alone until the full extent of what we face is apparent.” Murmurs ripple through the crowd, Annie rushes to Mitsuo saying “where is Jasmine?” “she is curled up in a ball inside of my chest guard.” Mitsuo sets the boy down, he runs into the crowd yelling “mommy mommy where are you?” Mitsuo yells again “did you not hear me? Drake gather the marines and warriors for guard duty now! I shall return by tomorrow, I will get our fence back from those villagers across the mountains!” he performs a quick gesture and bone wings spew forth from his back, he yells in pain, his eye patch pulsates and writhes with veins popping up attempting to keep the Daemonic essence back. He takes to the skies after a few moments he is gone into the clouds above, Drake yells “you heard him Marines get to defensive positions on the double. Lighting crackles in the clouds with thunder cackling madly around Mitsuo, then he feels something start squirming in his chest guard. Jasmine’s head pops out of the opening in the armor where the head meets the chest, she gazes into the dark gray surroundings, with the occasional blink of light from lighting and says “where are we daddy?” “we are flying through the sky my little angel.” The loud banging of thunder scares Jasmine so she retreats back into the deeper part of the chest guard, she curls up into a ball, time seems to stand still as no visible land marks appear before him, he decides to just land and fly lower to the ground.
