There was so much to do, so many things to put in order before the final battle. There were people to notify, soldiers to round together, and a whole list of other things that needed to be done; so many, in fact, that she frequently lost track of them all. But everything needed to be done if they were to defeat the Master.

It was the turn of the season, the leaves just changing their colors. The air was beginning to chill, and the grass just turning brown. And there, leaned up against the wall of a filthy, rat-infested alley, was me.

She walked with a certain conviction that said she knew what she was doing and she stood by that decision. But that conviction was all an act; inside, she was trying to keep herself from falling apart. The events that had transpired over the last twenty-four hours had left her shaken and drained. She struggled to keep the effects from showing on her face, in her step. She couldn’t let anyone know something was off.

The stacks of paper sat on her desk, overwhelming in size. /How could he possibly think that I could finish reading all of these in one day? I swear, he’s gone off his rocker./ The stacks of manuscripts were piled high, sorted in envelops so they wouldn’t get confused. “Well, gotta start somewhere,” she said, grabbing one off the top.

The iron gate closed harshly behind me as I stepped through into the overgrown gardens beyond. It was like walking through one of those stereotypical front yards that grow in front of that house where you just /know/ someone is going to die. And if you were to think just the same of this house, I daresay you wouldn’t be far off in that description. At least, in my opinion.

The mystery of it all is what decided it for me. After meeting the boy who called himself “The Recruiter” it was no wonder that I would want to go and find out more about this club he gave me the card for. I mean, what’s the worst that could happen? It’s not like they’d just kidnap me. Of course they wouldn’t do that. Right? RIGHT?!

It had been a very prosperous mission, or so the supervisors had told me. Twenty-seven dead, they reported. It was astounding, the number of lives lost on just one mission. They keep telling me that the work I’m doing is for the good of the organization. But if that’s the case, then what is the organization hoping to achieve?

It was the perfect setting. The sky was dark, cloudy. There was a cold wind, and a slight drizzle in the air. It must have been close to freezing with the wind chill. The shadows spread out into the night, seeking their prey under the command of their master, who stood in the shadows just a few feet away from the unsuspecting citizens.

I had been warned. They told me this would not be easy. But it was too late; there was nothing I could do. There was no turning back by that point. The warning came too late to change anything, as is the case with most warnings of that nature. And what could I do when his blade was already at my throat?

Morality seems to be a scarce quality to find nowadays. It seems almost to not matter to anyone anymore. Most people shirk it because it no longer suits them. I have lost my morality because I could not live with myself and maintain it. I had no other choice.

Suppose I came to you and said, “Your whole life is a lie.” What would you say to me in return? What would you think? Would you think me crazy? Would you call me a liar? Would you ask me what the HELL I was talking about? Well, you’re on the right track, I can tell you that. I’m crazy, I’m a liar. Half the time, even I don’t know what I’m talking about.

Standing on the edge, Karanina looked down below at the waves as they crashed into the rocks that bordered the bottom of the large cliff. The ocean breeze felt more like a gale from where she stood. It was like being at the edge of the world, discovering that it just drops off.

The forest was perfectly quiet. Not a bird chirped. Not a squirrel rustled the leaves that littered the forest floor. It was too quite. Unnaturally quiet. Something was very, very wrong. Myrianna was going to find out what it was, if it was the last thing she did. She had to know what had happened.

The buildings towered overhead, broken and aged, abandoned in the scramble to evacuate the city before it was destroyed. Moss dripped from the tops, and algae grew where the water lapped against the broken steel and concrete.

Mine is a tale of sorrow and joy; of hurt and soothing; of destruction and creation. Mine is not an easy tale to tell, but it is one that must be heard so that no others will have to suffer its entirety.

What becomes of us when be disappear from the physical world? Do we simply cease to exist? Or do we continue to live on in some other world? Or maybe our souls are recycled and we are truly reborn in another age with another body. The possibilities are endless and unknown.

It was her destiny. There was no escape from it. The only option was to resign and accept it. There is no way to change what has already been decided. The only thing one can do is deal.

They were two that made one. What one lacked, the other made up. There was no separating the two, and they were near impossible to tell apart when standing next to each other. It was a fulfilling existence, but it was a lonely one.

Unparalleled wealth. Unprecidented power. Absolute domination. All things that are sought after by humans. But only few have achieved them. And I absolutely could not let those things fall into the hands of the wrong person. It all depended on me. /Well, shiz./

“You can’t honesty tell me you’re just going to stand there and do nothing.” “I can and I will. This does not concern me.” “Be that as it may, you’ve got to do something.” “Why?” “Because it’s what’s right.” “And when have I ever done what’s right?”

Take it in stride, I thought. I could withstand it. The human body could take ten times more than the mind thought it could. With that in mind, I grit my teeth, held my body rigid, and endured the training by my master’s hand.

The depth of the gorge looked even more frightening from the edge. But there was no other choice. It was either this, or sacrifice her sister. She couldn’t bear to take her sister’s life away from her. Clearing her mind of all thoughts, she jumped.

The chains bound her tightly to the slab of granite on a raised platform. The tears would no longer come, but that was of no consequence. There was nothing she could do now, and no one would come to save her. No one knew where she was. It was all up to her now.
