            <description><![CDATA[ Short story (about 800 words) that I did out of boredom.<br />Think of this as a literary doodle.<br /><br />I wrote this to illustrate the vicious nature of the Empire, where anyone can be an enemy. The setting is somewhere akin to an opera house, though smaller due to the fact the assassinated noble was just a minor baron or something.<br />Also it served to help me expand on the mad Carnival God, whose servants are as deadly as the Midnight Whispers, and utterly insane. Due to this insanity, they are highly unpredictable. However, all of them have permanently dyed their skin on their faces (at the least) black and white in some sort of bizarre pattern. <br /><br />Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it.<br />Feedback would be highly appreciated. ]]></description>            </item>

This is a painting I have been thinking for long time, but couldn't know which colors I should used. Finally, inspiration came back to me and then.. BOOM! Started the coloring. <br />This one is special to me because I worked on the Imp's boots, and the strange background lol. <br /><br /><br /><br />-"Huh?" <br />Heard some breath, hot as always... Those living things... I hate them. After all, they doomed my life in the glaciers, my family: all gone, and me... Cursed with this necklace. Can't stand it anymore...<br />-Ummm... Miss?<br />"I won't answer, I won't answer, I...."<br />Suddenly I felt a hot touch, burning my head.<br />-ARGH!!!<br />I woke up, jumped 10 meters away. Looking at the snowy place, my eyes pointed a strange human. His appearance wasn't like the others I saw.<br />I tried to speak, but I was really amazed to do so...<br />He was surprised of that jump.<br />-Are you ok?<br />I didn't answer but only stared at him.<br />-Miss! Can you talk?<br />-Uh... Hum... I...<br />-Well, seems you can.- He smiled.<br />-Are...?-<br />-What's wrong?- <br />-Are you human?-<br />-Oh, no, don't mix them with my kind, I'm a Kroikan, what are you?- He was really curious too.<br />-I don't know, I just know I can't stand high temperatures, and neither touch living things-<br />-Are you dead?-<br />-What?- "I'm absolutely NOT" Heart shouted, not me of course.<br />-I mean, you said living things... You're alive, and moving like "those things"-<br />-Oh, I see... So I'm a living thing.- I turned and watched the trees that surrounded the mountains...- But why can't I touch the others?<br />-Maybe you can, but you can't stand them... Maybe you're afraid of them- He closed his eyes. What was he thinking about?<br />Anyway, that conclusion totally fit. That's why I never went to many places. <br />I sat in a giant rock. The Kroikan boy was still meditating... And I was getting bored. "Maybe he's not dangerous at all" <br />I closed my eyes too. Then mumbled: <br />-Why are you so silent?<br />-Oh excuse me, miss, but you seem like a strange creature. Here, in the snowy place of Ik' Lozenn, there are only rabbits, which I'm used to hunt to feed my family.<br />-Ah, family, I used to have one, I don't know where they are now- Little tears suddenly started to appear in my yellow and soft eyes.<br />He saw that, painful:<br />-Miss I'm sorry!!! Don't cry! I... W-wait, don't...- I couldn't stop it then, but after seeing his scared face, I laughed a lot...- Huh? W-what?? <br />-Nothing , your face... heheh, sorry everything is fine.<br />-Ah, ok- His face turned red- Maybe... <br />-Yes?- This guy is going reflexive again an I'm getting pissed.<br />-Maybe you're an imp-<br />-What is that?- I couldn't think of anything else, my eyes widened. <br />-A little demon that walks alone in life, but it destroys things, but you're a kind "living thing"-<br />-Mmmh... Why is it mean?-<br />-Here, in Ik' Lozenn town, people told me they serve a Malicious great demon. And so, they are controlled by him. Whenever he wants to do something, he calls imps to do as he wishes.<br />-Oh, I never heard of him, do you think he controls me??-<br />-Umm, well, no if you haven't heard of him, then he's not controlling you.<br />-But I like the name of Imp.<br />-Well- He smiled joyfully- There are many kinds of imps: There are fire ones, tree, cloud, ice...<br />-Ice! I like it!! It's soft and you can shape it however you want, but it's not tasty.-I looked at it, and moved my feet to amount it.<br />Looking at him, I smiled evilly, and threw him a snow ball, and he followed my little game. After the snow war, he asked:<br />-What's your name?<br />-Name?<br />-Oh come on, everyone has one, a way to be called.- He laughed.<br />-Well, then tell me yours!!- angrily, I snorted<br />With a serious sight but smiling, he answered:<br />-I'm Klein.<br />-Klein? Klein, Klein... Sounds cute, tee-hee.<br />-What about Aylen?-<br />- WHAT?<br />-Aylen, the Ice Imp Miss- Then he held my hand- That will be your name.- And kissed it..... <br />I felt... What did I feel? My chest was bumping a lot, and, I didn't realized, but I smiled, a big grin was being drawn in my face, a piece of my body that I thought it was a solid block.<br />Suddenly, he realized something, and alarmed, looked to the cloudy afternoon...<br />-Aylen... <br />-Yes?<br />-I'm so sorry, but I have to go back to my town, my brothers and sisters are waiting for me.<br />My smile vanished. Am I'm going to see him again??<br />-Goodbye...- I heard nothing more.<br /><br />The night was coming, so I closed my eyes, never felt loneliness so painful in my life, maybe that's why I never touched them, those living things... <br /><br />Shaping again a pile of snow, I saw a white rabbit, cute. It was moving a pile of snow too, looking for some dark hole to go.<br /><br />-Klein...<br /> Then I fell asleep in the snow...<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />-Dear Miss Imp, couldn't you wait me awake?- A hot hand touched my face.<br />-ARGH!!!- I tried to jump, but two arms held me in the ground.- W-what? How...?!<br />His face, sweet and serious at the same time, was near me. Then he touched my lips and I couldn't think of nothing more, my mind was as white as the snow that surrounded us. So he kissed me...<br />After all... Living things can be really sweet sometimes <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/m/meow.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":meow:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="578" title="Meow :3"/> <br />Also, he offered me a red "Rose"....

This is a painting I have been thinking for long time, but couldn't know which colors I should used. Finally, inspiration came back to me and then.. BOOM! Started the coloring. <br />This one is special to me because I worked on the Imp's boots, and the strange background lol. <br /><br /><br /><br />-"Huh?" <br />Heard some breath, hot as always... Those living things... I hate them. After all, they doomed my life in the glaciers, my family: all gone, and me... Cursed with this necklace. Can't stand it anymore...<br />-Ummm... Miss?<br />"I won't answer, I won't answer, I...."<br />Suddenly I felt a hot touch, burning my head.<br />-ARGH!!!<br />I woke up, jumped 10 meters away. Looking at the snowy place, my eyes pointed a strange human. His appearance wasn't like the others I saw.<br />I tried to speak, but I was really amazed to do so...<br />He was surprised of that jump.<br />-Are you ok?<br />I didn't answer but only stared at him.<br />-Miss!

Not only does it give us a glimpse into Syler's childhood and his dead parents, it also lets us see the first taste of Immortals and how they work.

In truth, I took two chapters and turned them into four with an additional chapter of completely new material at the end.<br /><br />Syler grows a lot here and we see for the first time truly how important he is and just how much he hates being manipulated. If you recall from the first few chapters, he was quite willing to take whatever horrible thing came his way if it was the will of the Elements. Now, he has come to the point where he has finally had enough and is shaking his fist at the gods. Syler is only now beginning to realize that he has power for the first time in his life. More things will continue to come at him and throughout it all, he will grow more and more stubborn and determined to do things his way. That will be one of his greatest strengths, but it will also mean he suffers.<br /><br />Oh, we also get to see a new power added to the Master of Magic's repertoire. We know now of his ability to summon rage that gives him strength and heals him (though at a cost). We also have seen that magic cannot touch him.

When the gods wanted to create us mortals, the only way to do so was to imbue us with a piece of themselves.

In that story I showed a drow being forcibly transformed into a drider. What had fascinated me about that story was the idea that the evil god Lilith would "bless" some of her subjects into driders after that had passed a strenuous ordeal. Instead though, that story was of a drow being punished by her sister. In essence the drider transformation was not a blessing, but a curse. <br /><br />So this time around I wanted to show a blessing transformation that was wanted. Except, I did not want to do another drider transformation. I felt I already had done that. So instead I got to thinking and did some research. I discovered that in D&amp;D universe the evil spider god Lilith had a competitor by the name of Vulkoor. Vulkoor was the evil god of scorpions. <br /><br />However, Vulkoor had no coherent set of worshippers nor any "blessed" monsters. So I came up with the sand elf society that lives in the desert and worships Vulkoor. Sand elves are very similar to drow in many ways including their arrogant and elitist attitudes. Along with that, Vulkoor's high priests are actually assassins while the rest of his worshippers are afraid of him. Plus like Lilith, Vulkoor blesses his few select assassins into scorpioriders after they pass his nearly impossible ordeal. These scorpioriders are basically just like driders except for having a scorpion lower body and a few modifications to their sand elf upper bodies. These scorpioriders are far more tougher to kill then driders with magically enhanced nearly impenetrable shells. Plus they are far less numerous then driders as Vulkoor only makes maybe one scorpiorider a year at the most. (Decades can pass before a chosen sand elf assassin passes the god's ordeals and becomes a scorpiorider. Maybe even longer than that.) These sand elves Vulkoor chooses have to be assassins as he care little of any other classes of sand elves. These assassins have to rise to the very top of his order and they have to display a great amount of cunning and ruthlessness. Also they have to be of the same alignment as the god: lawful evil. <br /><br />Sometimes it's fun to write a mostly evil story every now and then. I hope you enjoyed it too.<br /><br />To read the previous story, The Sea Caper go here to read part one: <a href="http://brothejr.deviantart.com/art/The-Sea-Caper-Part-1-364455741">[link]</a><br /><br />To read the next story in this series, Leoster and the Tooth of Ishtar, go here to read part one: <a href="http://brothejr.deviantart.com/art/Leoster-and-the-Tooth-of-Ishtar-Part-1-372932690">[link]</a> ]]></media:description>

        <strong>Uninvited Guest, part I</strong>Wendigo came across the first evidence of one of his own kind he had seen for a long time while following a path in the woods. It wasn't much of a path, just a pair of grooves left in the snow by some kind of machine, but as an unmistakable sign of recent human activity he was not surprised to find the Other's tracks. The scent told him the Other possessed a male human's body, but it was unfamiliar. He would not be able to tell who the Other was without a closer connection.<br /><br />He followed the tracks until they intersected with a second pair. They were large and belonged to a human who must have been enjoying a day of snowshoeing. The outing was</q></div></a></span><!-- ^TTT --><!-- TTT$ --></span> <span class="shadow-holder" deviationid="260899261" data-embed-type="deviation" data-embed-format="thumb"><span class="shadow mild" ><a href="http://leonca.deviantart.com/art/Uninvited-Guest-part-II-260899261" class="thumb lit" onmouseover="if (window.LitBox) LitBox.hover(this, true)" onmouseout="if (window.LitBox) LitBox.out(this)"><i></i><img class="lit" src="http://a.deviantart.net/littags/a/c/n/leonca.jpg"><div class="wrap" style="width: 150px"><q>
        <strong>Uninvited Guest, part II</strong>There was not much for Wendigo to do in the frozen wilderness he called home. The endless cycle of hunt and eat grew tedious, and he found himself wanting company more than usual lately. He stared at the Other's tracks, weighing his options. If he followed the human path to the city there would be many people to meet, even if a cannibal's acquaintances tended to be brief. He may never find the city though, so tracking the Other offered a more surefire chance at success. In the end impatience won out.<br /><br />He followed the Other's trail lazily, keeping well behind scenting range. He broke away frequently to hunt in other directions, but found no si</q></div></a></span><!-- ^TTT --><!-- TTT$ --></span> <br />Always-Angry <span class="shadow-holder" deviationid="291968368" data-embed-type="deviation" data-embed-format="thumb"><span class="shadow mild" ><a href="http://leonca.deviantart.com/art/Control-291968368" class="thumb lit" onmouseover="if (window.LitBox) LitBox.hover(this, true)" onmouseout="if (window.LitBox) LitBox.out(this)"><i></i><img class="lit" src="http://a.deviantart.net/littags/a/c/n/leonca.jpg"><div class="wrap" style="width: 150px"><q>
        <strong>Control</strong>The feeling came over Bill when he was out checking his trap line in the dying light of a winter evening. Eyes on the back of his head. He knew the wary scrutiny of the deer and the hungry yet restrained gaze of the wolf. This didn't feel like either. It didn't belong to this place any more than he did. He would have preferred the wolf.<br /><br />He turned around, shook his gun at the reddening sky, and cupped his other hand to his mouth. "I know you're out there! This is private property! I don't wanna use this, but you'll leave me no choice if I catch you hanging around here!"<br /><br />A soft rustle from somewhere deep enough that the trees obscured his vis</q></div></a></span><!-- ^TTT --><!-- TTT$ --></span> <span class="shadow-holder" deviationid="279633779" data-embed-type="deviation" data-embed-format="thumb"><span class="shadow mild" ><a href="http://leonca.deviantart.com/art/Trading-Favors-279633779" class="thumb lit" onmouseover="if (window.LitBox) LitBox.hover(this, true)" onmouseout="if (window.LitBox) LitBox.out(this)"><i></i><img class="lit" src="http://a.deviantart.net/littags/a/c/n/leonca.jpg"><div class="wrap" style="width: 150px"><q>
        <strong>Trading Favors</strong>Wendigo paused in his aimless wanderings through the forest to turn his face to the wind and was surprised to detect a new scent carried on it. One of his kin, inhabiting a female human's body whose scent was unfamiliar to him. He tensed and a soft growl rose from the unconscious depths of his mind. Another spirit in his territory, competing for his food.<br /><br />He caught himself and shook his head to clear it. He remembered the last time he met one of his kin, and how lonely his departure left him. This spirit threw her scent into the wind, a clear sign she wished to make contact. Now that the territorial hackles of instinct were smoothed somewhat</q></div></a></span><!-- ^TTT --><!-- TTT$ --></span> <span class="shadow-holder" deviationid="306191003" data-embed-type="deviation" data-embed-format="thumb"><span class="shadow mild" ><a href="http://leonca.deviantart.com/art/Home-is-Where-the-Scent-is-306191003" class="thumb lit" onmouseover="if (window.LitBox) LitBox.hover(this, true)" onmouseout="if (window.LitBox) LitBox.out(this)"><i></i><img class="lit" src="http://a.deviantart.net/littags/a/c/n/leonca.jpg"><div class="wrap" style="width: 150px"><q>
        <strong>Home is Where the Scent is</strong>It occurred to Wendigo while he stared at the tiny blob of brown and white in the distance that life would be easier if he could get over his hatred of water. Humans couldn't get enough of it, so stalking the waterways remained one of the most efficient hunting strategies. He scanned the lakeshore, trying to calculate swimming vs. walking distance for reaching the structure on the opposite side.<br /><br />Wendigo pulled off a boot, crouched at the water's edge, and dipped in a toe. The wetness enveloped his flesh like the prickling of needles poised at the edge of plunging through. He shuddered. After holding still a few moments he hobbled back, shaki</q></div></a></span><!-- ^TTT --><!-- TTT$ --></span><br /><br />&ldquo;She killed your helicopter splat.&rdquo;<br />It is fun writing sentences that have probably never been uttered in the history of ever. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/lol.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":lol:" title="LOL"/><br /><br />Word count- 2,480<br /><br />Next <span class="shadow-holder" deviationid="353219154" data-embed-type="deviation" data-embed-format="thumb"><span class="shadow mild" ><a href="http://leonca.deviantart.com/art/Two-is-Company-You-are-a-Crowd-353219154" class="thumb lit" onmouseover="if (window.LitBox) LitBox.hover(this, true)" onmouseout="if (window.LitBox) LitBox.out(this)"><i></i><img class="lit" src="http://a.deviantart.net/littags/a/c/n/leonca.jpg"><div class="wrap" style="width: 150px"><q>
        <strong>Two is Company, You are a Crowd</strong>The hare stared the danger down with bulging eyes and wiggled its nose. It followed the wisdom of the ancestors. If I am still, I am a snowdrift. The danger didn&rsquo;t get the message.<br /><br />Wendigo calculated the distance to the hare&rsquo;s fleeing point and crouched on the invisible line. He pounced. The hare exploded from its masquerade as a piece of the scenery and managed a few long-legged bounds. Wendigo swiped it off its feet and sent it tumbling across the snow. Before it could process the blow the predator&rsquo;s jaws wrapped around its neck, and it was no longer afraid.<br /><br />Wendigo celebrated the hunt with a victory dance. He leapt and </q></div></a></span><!-- ^TTT --><!-- TTT$ --></span> ]]></media:description>

Two sets, overlapping at the bottom and then separating where the taller spirit's reach exceeded his partner's.

        <strong>Uninvited Guest, part I</strong>Wendigo came across the first evidence of one of his own kind he had seen for a long time while following a path in the woods. It wasn't much of a path, just a pair of grooves left in the snow by some kind of machine, but as an unmistakable sign of recent human activity he was not surprised to find the Other's tracks. The scent told him the Other possessed a male human's body, but it was unfamiliar. He would not be able to tell who the Other was without a closer connection.<br /><br />He followed the tracks until they intersected with a second pair. They were large and belonged to a human who must have been enjoying a day of snowshoeing. The outing was</q></div></a></span><!-- ^TTT --><!-- TTT$ --></span> <span class="shadow-holder" deviationid="260899261" data-embed-type="deviation" data-embed-format="thumb"><span class="shadow mild" ><a href="http://leonca.deviantart.com/art/Uninvited-Guest-part-II-260899261" class="thumb lit" onmouseover="if (window.LitBox) LitBox.hover(this, true)" onmouseout="if (window.LitBox) LitBox.out(this)"><i></i><img class="lit" src="http://a.deviantart.net/littags/a/c/n/leonca.jpg"><div class="wrap" style="width: 150px"><q>
        <strong>Uninvited Guest, part II</strong>There was not much for Wendigo to do in the frozen wilderness he called home. The endless cycle of hunt and eat grew tedious, and he found himself wanting company more than usual lately. He stared at the Other's tracks, weighing his options. If he followed the human path to the city there would be many people to meet, even if a cannibal's acquaintances tended to be brief. He may never find the city though, so tracking the Other offered a more surefire chance at success. In the end impatience won out.<br /><br />He followed the Other's trail lazily, keeping well behind scenting range. He broke away frequently to hunt in other directions, but found no si</q></div></a></span><!-- ^TTT --><!-- TTT$ --></span> <br />Always-Angry <span class="shadow-holder" deviationid="291968368" data-embed-type="deviation" data-embed-format="thumb"><span class="shadow mild" ><a href="http://leonca.deviantart.com/art/Control-291968368" class="thumb lit" onmouseover="if (window.LitBox) LitBox.hover(this, true)" onmouseout="if (window.LitBox) LitBox.out(this)"><i></i><img class="lit" src="http://a.deviantart.net/littags/a/c/n/leonca.jpg"><div class="wrap" style="width: 150px"><q>
        <strong>Control</strong>The feeling came over Bill when he was out checking his trap line in the dying light of a winter evening. Eyes on the back of his head. He knew the wary scrutiny of the deer and the hungry yet restrained gaze of the wolf. This didn't feel like either. It didn't belong to this place any more than he did. He would have preferred the wolf.<br /><br />He turned around, shook his gun at the reddening sky, and cupped his other hand to his mouth. "I know you're out there! This is private property! I don't wanna use this, but you'll leave me no choice if I catch you hanging around here!"<br /><br />A soft rustle from somewhere deep enough that the trees obscured his vis</q></div></a></span><!-- ^TTT --><!-- TTT$ --></span> <span class="shadow-holder" deviationid="279633779" data-embed-type="deviation" data-embed-format="thumb"><span class="shadow mild" ><a href="http://leonca.deviantart.com/art/Trading-Favors-279633779" class="thumb lit" onmouseover="if (window.LitBox) LitBox.hover(this, true)" onmouseout="if (window.LitBox) LitBox.out(this)"><i></i><img class="lit" src="http://a.deviantart.net/littags/a/c/n/leonca.jpg"><div class="wrap" style="width: 150px"><q>
        <strong>Trading Favors</strong>Wendigo paused in his aimless wanderings through the forest to turn his face to the wind and was surprised to detect a new scent carried on it. One of his kin, inhabiting a female human's body whose scent was unfamiliar to him. He tensed and a soft growl rose from the unconscious depths of his mind. Another spirit in his territory, competing for his food.<br /><br />He caught himself and shook his head to clear it. He remembered the last time he met one of his kin, and how lonely his departure left him. This spirit threw her scent into the wind, a clear sign she wished to make contact. Now that the territorial hackles of instinct were smoothed somewhat</q></div></a></span><!-- ^TTT --><!-- TTT$ --></span> <span class="shadow-holder" deviationid="306191003" data-embed-type="deviation" data-embed-format="thumb"><span class="shadow mild" ><a href="http://leonca.deviantart.com/art/Home-is-Where-the-Scent-is-306191003" class="thumb lit" onmouseover="if (window.LitBox) LitBox.hover(this, true)" onmouseout="if (window.LitBox) LitBox.out(this)"><i></i><img class="lit" src="http://a.deviantart.net/littags/a/c/n/leonca.jpg"><div class="wrap" style="width: 150px"><q>
        <strong>Home is Where the Scent is</strong>It occurred to Wendigo while he stared at the tiny blob of brown and white in the distance that life would be easier if he could get over his hatred of water. Humans couldn't get enough of it, so stalking the waterways remained one of the most efficient hunting strategies. He scanned the lakeshore, trying to calculate swimming vs. walking distance for reaching the structure on the opposite side.<br /><br />Wendigo pulled off a boot, crouched at the water's edge, and dipped in a toe. The wetness enveloped his flesh like the prickling of needles poised at the edge of plunging through. He shuddered. After holding still a few moments he hobbled back, shaki</q></div></a></span><!-- ^TTT --><!-- TTT$ --></span><br /><br />&ldquo;She killed your helicopter splat.&rdquo;<br />It is fun writing sentences that have probably never been uttered in the history of ever. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/lol.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":lol:" title="LOL"/><br /><br />Word count- 2,480<br /><br />Next <span class="shadow-holder" deviationid="353219154" data-embed-type="deviation" data-embed-format="thumb"><span class="shadow mild" ><a href="http://leonca.deviantart.com/art/Two-is-Company-You-are-a-Crowd-353219154" class="thumb lit" onmouseover="if (window.LitBox) LitBox.hover(this, true)" onmouseout="if (window.LitBox) LitBox.out(this)"><i></i><img class="lit" src="http://a.deviantart.net/littags/a/c/n/leonca.jpg"><div class="wrap" style="width: 150px"><q>
        <strong>Two is Company, You are a Crowd</strong>The hare stared the danger down with bulging eyes and wiggled its nose. It followed the wisdom of the ancestors. If I am still, I am a snowdrift. The danger didn&rsquo;t get the message.<br /><br />Wendigo calculated the distance to the hare&rsquo;s fleeing point and crouched on the invisible line. He pounced. The hare exploded from its masquerade as a piece of the scenery and managed a few long-legged bounds. Wendigo swiped it off its feet and sent it tumbling across the snow. Before it could process the blow the predator&rsquo;s jaws wrapped around its neck, and it was no longer afraid.<br /><br />Wendigo celebrated the hunt with a victory dance. He leapt and </q></div></a></span><!-- ^TTT --><!-- TTT$ --></span> ]]></description>            </item>
