His whole world was crumbling around him. Young Matthew had just discovered a terrible truth. Not only was his mentor and father figure, Kai the Firebeast was responsible for the death of his real dad, Jacob, but actually tried to kill his twin sister. He didn't know what was real anymore. To think Kai would do such thing, even attacking Matthew after trying to protect his sister, leaving a huge scar burned into his right eye, losing all sight in it. The boy grabbed a picture of himself with his mother Purge, and Kai. He really seemed like a true friend, feels so stupid now.
Matthew: You happy now, Kai? YOU HAPPY NOW!?!

hand in hand with the damned
stormy seas, high winds and lightning
darkest blue and whirling silver
whipping of the water and boiling of the foam
no lighthouse to save us
mutiny on the ocean
and mother nature is leading the rebellion
I lay tucked in the pantry, locket on my neck
the seven seas have never claimed my love before
but perhaps they will tonight;
the tinkle of a music box sings in my ear
the heartbeat of your life sits behind my rib cage
the wind howling its challenge while the m
I sit
In my corner
Pretending to play
With my phone
While really typing
This ode to family.
They surge around me
The stone in the river
Passing all around
Encompassing yet
Immediately leaving
This ghost of Christmas
Present
They do not engage.
I do not engage.
And very soon
I will creep back
To my cave
Like the troll
That I am
And remain unknowable
And unknown.
“Funny how when you’re dead people start listening”
Yet you spend your whole life crying out
Threatening, stamping, shouting till your blistering
Guess it doesn’t really matter on this route
See we’re all running out of time, we’re all lessening
And the end is what so many people are about

One Spider-Cider, Change Included
Somewhere in a dark and dreary part of the Hotlands, a little bake sale was about to commence for the day. It was an unusual place to hold one, not having much foot traffic through that area, but the people running the sale didn’t care. To be fair, there weren’t many places for them to run the sale without people purposely trying to find a different way around it.

DotW RP: We're Already Dead
As soon as Klaus reached the fringes of the Nightsong woods the rain begin to fall. Wet darts pelted his dark fur, soaking him and leaving his coat hanging heavily on his form. Only when he thought he was alone and deep within the woodlands did Klaus pause, drooping his head. The young Vektreni welcomed the rain as it dripped into his eyes and soothed his wounds. Dry blood clung to his fur in clumps; not all of it his own.
Having only just returned, the events of Vale weighed heavily on his mind. No sooner when the Howling Peaks come into view did Hekate break off from their stride, eager to return to her son no doubt. She must have reached
As I sit in posture like a steel lotus,
I am dwelling in a space
That separates two thoughts;
One of conflict and oppression,
The other of peace and liberation.
In the filth of a stray dog slum,
I am sitting vajra-style
With two icons before me:
One a wall of grief and suffering;
The other the image of Sakyamuni.
As I sit before the breaking red of dawn,
I am composing old-parchment wisdom
With the lightning of a modern tongue;
I am recollecting the many beatitudes
And countless possibilities unexplored;
