Listening To: Hello Seatle by Owl City

Mood: calm, but a little anxious

Whistea: Woho, we finally get to kick off a blog post! Yaay! ^o^

Rowanne: Yeah, and you're happy and peppy as always....

Whistea: Oh come on twinnie, this is the first time we get to have such an opportunity. Lighten up!

Rowanne: Meh...

Kaleb: Don't bother Whistea, she's as sour as ever...^^"

Rowanne: Who are you calling sour, raccoon boy? D<

Kaleb: .....*makes a small fireball appear and brun Rowanne*

Rowanne: OW! *rubs her cheek*

Dali: *pops in through a warphole* You're as sour as ever Ro, and I agree with your sis.

Rowanne: Fine, bully me, gang up on me for all I care

Calliope: *pokes her from behind*

Rowanne: *screams out* Ack, Calliope, STOP DOING THAT!

Calliope: .........Hehehe............^^

Rowanne: You're such a baka neko...

Calliope: *prepares some spikes*

Rowanne: Okay, I take that back....*steps away slowly*

Whistea: *makes some tea* You guys always fight - can't we have at least one normal conversation without one of you fighting over something?

Calliope: *swishes tail and sits down*.......I'm not the baby here......

Dali: *plays around with the pocket watch* It's getting quite late you know...

Rowanne: *lightbulb appears on top of her head* Dali, change the time back!

Dali: ........Why.......? *looks at her suspiciously*

Rowanne: To make none of this happen, duh!

Dali: ......But I don't wanna.....

Rowanne: *reaches for his pocket watch* Gimme gimme! I'll turn it back myself!

Whistea: Sis, you'll only get burned, you know...Dali is the only one who can do it - he does have the same power as Riri-san after all.

Rowanne: Oh, you're such a know-it-all

Whistea: Well I DO complete you. And if you continue acting like that I will never never agree to come together with you to form the power of Heart.

Rowanne: *stops* YOU KNOW THAT'S THE ONE THING I WANNA TRY MOST! AND YOU USE IT AGAINST ME!

Kaleb: *takes a slice of cake* Well then like they say clean up your act Ro.

Calliope: .....She never will......*flicks her tail and looks at rowanne with irritation*

Rowanne: Bah, I wish Riri-san would leave you at the Shikyu Return Center.....Maybe someone else would be happy to have you....

Calliope: *eyes flash and vines wrap around Rowanne's neck*

Rowanne: *shoking*

Whistea: Sis! *runs to help her*

Dali: *continues playing with the watch* I had no part in this, so if Riri-san asks leave me out ^^"

Calliope: .....The vines will release her soon......She won't choke....*sips her tea*

Kaleb: *takes a scone* As long as she's unharmed I don't see the problem ^^

Me: *watches it all from the side* O.e" *twitches her eye* They never stop, do they...?

New Shikyu

Day: August 7/10

Eating: drinking a glass of fizzy lemonade

Listening To: nothing at the moment

Mood: bored and a little dull

Now before I go and begin to talk about my Shikyus I wanna wish my lil bro a happy b-day. His present was a large table with a train set that linked together. He loves it so much. We're gonna go have the cake soon - triple chocolate with extra frosting and biscuit layers. Yum! ^^

Now I had wanted to write this entry before about my new Shikyu but I never got the chance (I was really lazy, and as much as I wanted to blog more often I was still feeling very lazy). Now though that I have the time, lemme introduce to you my new Shikyu and I finally have the time to have a normal conversation with my other three....=.=

~~~

Kaleb: Hello *waves slightly. Nice to meet you all. It's so nice to finally be adopted into such a caring home TT^TT

Rowanne: Yuppie, another softie in the group...

Calliope: *sips her tea*....I for one am happy to finally have a boy Shikyu amongst us....Maybe now we'll have peace and order around....*sighs*

Rowanne: *turns to Calliope* Hey! You're not a holy dandelion yourself!

Whistea: *wakes up from all the comotion caused by Calliope and Rowanne* Twinnie, can't you at least lemme have some sleep on a Saturday? It's bad enough that Riri-san is all sleepy and drowsy but you're argueing right from the start too...

Rowanne: Well accuse that guy of starting it all! ><*

Kaleb: *radiates a dark aura* You do know, that as the duke of the dark court I don't tolerate being accused of something I had no participatio in whatsoever....

Whistea: *shaking a little* Nee Ro, let's not anger him. He's more dark then you. I wonder what part of riri-san's personality he got....O.o

Calliope: *puts the teacup down*....Judging by his words then the cold calm side....Plus her killer instinct....

Whistea: I never knew she had that in her...O.O"

Rowanne: Instinct shminstict. I don't care what that raccoon boy says - he ain't scary at all! XP

Kaleb: *creates a ball of black fire*

Whistea: Um, sis, I suggest you run...

Rowanne: *sees the orb, and begins to run*

Calliope: *waves her hand and summons a venus flytrap that gobbles up Rowanne*...That's the way I roll...^^ *looks at Kaleb*...You can relax now...Tweetle Dumb will be taking some time to get out of there...

Kaleb: *sits down at the table and takes a scone*

Rowanne: *suffocating in the flytrap*

Whistea: Eh...^^"

Me: *walks in* So, are you guys getting along well?

Kaleb: Very ^^ *reaches for a teaspoon and a slice of cake*

Whistea: Ehe....*sweatdrop*

Me: So I guess you're now willing to accept that Kaleb will officially be living with us from now on, and he will not be leaving the family. EVER.

Rowanne: *from inside the flytrap* WHAT!?

Me: Oh come on, it'll be fun Ro *opens up the flytrap*

Kaleb: Yay, so I'm in! ^o^

Rowanne: XP *passes out*

~~~

And so begins the new life of my new Shikyu Kaleb. ^^

Now, if you don't mind, I think I'm gonna go grab a second helping of my brother's birthday cake. Later days! '-~

Red Demon

Day: July 30, 2010

Eating: nothing but I'm starved.....XP

Listening To: Pictures of You by The Last Goodnight

Mood: Frustrated >o<*

Okay, this is so definately not working out the way I want things to go....So, I've been thinking...if anyone does read my blog, maybe you guys could help a little bit? I'm so seriously stuck on this book but deep inside I want to finish it, so, I think maybe by posting a summary I could reread it and then understand how the questions in my previous posts could be answered. Phew, here goes nothing...

~

Basically, the book titles gives a hint to what the story is about. The main protagonist is a girl named Christine Hartes, who is branded as a carefree loner at school but at the same time a smart and talented one too. Her closest friend is a girl named Skye Geraldo, whom she trusts like her own sister, and for some time they have both had a crush on the same guy - Miles Greever. He's popular, funny, and accoarding to Skye totally into Christine. Too bad he makes too many cold jokes to truly show it.

Christine tries to bear with things as best as she can but sudden dreams of two boys begin to haunt her in her sleep, and she begins to sense that maybe paradise isn't so far away after all. It's one normal day that her world finally comes crashing down on her as some boys decide to humiliate in front of everyone. Loosing her cool calm Christine is overwhelmed with rage, yet the emotions give root to a pair of feathered black wings, curled ram's horns, a lion tail and even some claws. It is then that finally she meets Jake, one of the boys she's been having dreams about. Just like her he has wings, though white, and fills her in on her true life, the destiny she was so cruely taken away from.

That doesn't however fit into the plans of a certain someone, as Christine is attacked by the other boy, Kai, also with wings, this time grey, that wishes for her death. It's only after a quick save from Jake that Christine travels through a mirror portal to the world of Reilmore, made up of 3 races: Alphas, the winged race; Halums, the spirit race; and Feruns, the immortal race. Christine is a Hybrid Alpha, since only she has horns and tails, and because of her mix of both worlds she can't stay in one of the world for longer that 3 weeks, now that her true powers have been awakened inside.

Christine continues to go between the two worlds, trying to cope with her life while avoiding close attacks by Kai who continues following in her foot. There is a rule: an inhabitant of Reilmore can only enter the mortal world as long as another inhabitant of Reilmore is already there, and Christine's presence in that world brings her danger, and forces Jake to keep returning to her and protecting her from the blood-thirsty Kai.

It is after much convincing that Jake tells Christine about her past. She is the sole heir to the throne of Reilmore, to govern all three races as the superior Alpha. She became an orphan at an early age of 5, and one day met Jake on the streets, beaten up and hungry to death. She took him in and taking a liking to him became close friends with him. A few years had passed and just as Christine and Jake were beginning their happiness humans discovered the world, and took Christine as a lab rat. They tested her out, since she was the most important creature in the world, and as a result had overdosed her with other DNA which had resulted to her horns and tail. The result scared the scientists which erased it from all records, and trashed the poor girl for her death. It was only thanks to a boy that she was sent to the human world where she would be safe. She didn't remember who he was, only his golden aura and smile. Christine then understands - Jake has loved her, ever since the day he was saved and taken into care to the palace, and she feels like she hurt him by loving Miles.

Jake explains to her the most important fact though - she has to exist in only one world. If she doesn't and continues to be an incomplete being she'll have to wander between both worlds until she is either killed in one of them or her shade shrinks and she'll disappear. Christine continues to travel between the two worlds and understands that those who had hated her before are now beginning to see her differently, and doubt enters her mind. She is no longer sure whether to stay in this world she had once thought of as cruel, or go to the new world where everything she could possibly want will be there.

And it is then that through a twisted tail of events that Christine discovers that Jake's past is a blank page, and that there is a bigger chain connecting Jake and Kai than she had thought. And things begin to get more complicated as Jake's sudden worries and Kai's viciousness begin to unravel, and soon, Christine begins to wonder if things will ever change.

~

So, this is the summary of the book before the spoilers and loopholes appear. Maybe this will help me sort things out...

Oh, and the picture above I chose becuase it looks almost exactly the way I pictures Christine to be in her Hybrid Alpha form (however there is no tail and claws on the girl in the picture, and the colour of her eyes and hair differ). Plus, it's a stunning piece too, made by my favourite DeviantART artist, Nefis.

And now I must go continue writing this book.

Aphrodite's Garden (Random Short Story)

Day: July 8/10 Eating: slice of cherry cheesecake
Listening To: nothing at the moment

Mood: lightheaded, dreamy, inspired

Since I am feeling a bit off right now and I haven't posted in a while, I decided to post an entry but because I have nothing to talk about I want to write this short story here, as I am in a very creative and lightheaded mood. Hope you don't mind and enjoy this story of mine.

Oh, and by the way, the Greek gods in this story at at a teenage age, so picture them young and beautiful/hot, if you can, for example Aphrodite to the right - she is at a teenage ae. This is because when I think of Greek gods I imagine them always young between the ages of 15 and 19.

~

Of all the places said to exist in the world of the gods, Aphrodite's garden was said to be the most beautiful. There were huge trees unlike any of those that existed down on earth, big ponds with pink lotus blooming in its waters, and all kinds of birds and animals lived there. it was a garden only Aphrodite could come to, and not even Demeter or Persephony could understand how she had managed to keep such a beautiful garden all to herself. Aphrodite was not the goddess of flowers and gardens after all, so they were very curious about how she had managed to create such a garden.

But that did not trouble Aphrodite. This was her hideaway, the one place where none of the other gods or goddesses could enter, her peaceful little garden sanctuary. But even though no one knew where it was or had ever seen it didn't mean that word didn't go out about it. It was rumoured amongst the mortals that this was a garden specially grow for lovers, that Aphrodite's power of love blossomed in every flower and that even if couples were argueing once they smelled the flowers from her garden all of their troubles and fights would be forgotten as if they never were. That's why many mortals had gone out to look for the garden, but no one had ever found it.

It was one day that Aries had stormed into Mount Olympus, all angry over losing another war. It pained Venus to see her beloved Aries so angered, so she asked for him to come to her garden, where she hoped he'd feel better. Aries of course was very lightheaded and didn't understand right away what Aphrodite had wanted from this, but still agreed to go with her.

The garden was silent just like always, with no one around to disrupt them.There was never anyone there though, as none of the gods could find it. Aphrodite led Aries to a bench, where he sat quietly until in a few moments he began storming about something.

"Why, I could have won that war with my eyes closed!" Aries yelled. "Everyone knows that war is my game, not some king's who wishes to beat me at it. It isn't even possible!" Aphrodite smiled. Aries never changed, and that was why she loved him so much.

"Aries, do you know what kind of garden this is...?" she suddenly asked, catching Aries by suprise. All of a sudden he quieted down and thought. He hadn't even noticed how Aphrodite had led him here. What was this place? Was it Demeter's garden? It wasn't possible for anyone other than Persephony and Demeter to have such a garden

"It is my garden," Aphrodite whispered at last, her voice not that much above a whisper. "it is the only one of its kind to ever exist. Do you see all this coral and lotus flowers blooming? Demeter could never plant these herself, and Persephony, though so young, talented and ambituous she only dreams of this kind of success," Aphrodite went on, turning Aries' head towards her and looking deep into his chestnut eyes. "This garden has a calming affect on anyone who comes into it. Please, stay here alwas Aries - that way, you will never have to worry about losing another war..."

Aries thought a bit, but saying nothing smiled. It seemed like all the aquatic plants really did have an effect on him, a calming effect no one other than Aphrodite could have on him. There truly was no other place than Aphrodite's garden.

There go around rumours

of a garden out thre

where your anger melts

and you feel without care.

Many dream to come here

and see with their eyes

the pond with lotus

in the lost paradise.

In songs and in poems

it is told of this place

and its enchanting owner

hidden without trace.

~

Yeah, another really really REALLY random story. I had this inspiration to write this all of a sudden. You might ask - what's the point of this story? Well, not much really, just that Aphrodite has a garden that is said to calm down anyone, espcially fighting lovers, like in this case Aries (though he wasn't fighting with Aphrodite). There will be more stories to follow but I kinda wanted to write this one first. I've been rather tied to greek mythology since I was a kid and I still have a strong fascination about it.

Oh, what am I babbling about!? Well, off to write another story for the Sanctuary!
