Hand me my sword and my shield
Then flee back and don’t return to this field
For all here shall perish
Everything and every one will crumble at my hands
Fight
Spread your hurt
your pain
your scars
your tears
return what the world gave you
destroy
Employ
all of your might
to see that all around is ground
and never again found

Split Pact
Parts of me vote
All with hope
They will obtain my life
For I do not own it
The portions of my mind
Fight for control
The lover, The fighter
The general, The constable
The actor, The doctor
And others
Oh so many others grasping
For the chance
To been seen
And believed
And not bereaved
Born to one body
Some thought to be mere folly
All with their own calling
And destiny
Not knowing
What they need
All with hope
They will obtain my life
For I do not own it
The portions of my mind
Fight for control
The lover, The fighter
The general, The constable
The actor, The doctor
And others
Oh so many others grasping
For the chance
To been seen
And believed
And not bereaved
Born to one body
Some thought to be mere folly
All with their own calling
And destiny
Not knowing
What they need
The Rage of a Phoenix
The water’s calm fades
A cascade
A torrent
It starts
A Spark
The winds pick up
The storm has been summoned
What was deep within rises
Passions and Power
Fire and Ire
Wroth and Wrath
The rage leaves its cage
Unrelenting, unstoppable, uncontrollable
LET IT BE
It is like water
The glaciers have melted and will become a river
perhaps a small stream
but for now it’s a surge
It will alter the world maybe for the better
but will scar it first
And tear itself apart
A clap is sounded and it begins
From beneath the water
Beneath the pain
The thunderous cry is heard
From the fiery bird
It would have died soon enough
But it has been awoken
And released
And rebirthed
Over and Over
The Cycle of Calm and chaos
The waters fall.
It has been trapped again
How long before it escapes once more?
Let loose the anger within
A cascade
A torrent
It starts
A Spark
The winds pick up
The storm has been summoned
What was deep within rises
Passions and Power
Fire and Ire
Wroth and Wrath
The rage leaves its cage
Unrelenting, unstoppable, uncontrollable

Evil
Are good and evil as simple as day and night
The darkness and the light
The right and the blight
Or is it the gray
Choice my friend
Leads us to do what we might
Moving sands of shifting color
Making it seem all the more subtler
The line between the two
So soft that very few
Can see that they are the same
Although it is not very plain
The darkness and the light
The right and the blight
Or is it the gray
Choice my friend
Leads us to do what we might
Moving sands of shifting color
Making it seem all the more subtler
The line between the two
So soft that very few
Can see that they are the same
Although it is not very plain
Death of a Maverick
He opened his eyes. And he saw what he hadn’t. He opened his eyes and saw life. He opened his eyes and saw death. He pulled himself out of his slumber and realized what he was searching for did not exist. There is no paradise. There is only here, now, and then after the rest, death.
Mavrik Ader was just a man. If you had seen him on the street you wouldn’t think a lot about him. You would see a medium sized dark man., a stranger. And you would pass him by. He would probably do the same to you. After all there are more than six billion people on earth aren’t there? What makes this man so special? Was he wealthy? Was he intelligent? Was he famous? Was he strong? He was none I guess you could say he wasn’t special.
Being a man of habit, he did the same things everyday. He always did what his boss told him, no more, no less. He always did what the few friends he had asked of him. He ate the same foods went to the same places. He feared spontaneity and instability. His parents always told him, "Be responsible, and be dependable". Up until now he had always obeyed that command but in doing so he drained all excitement from his life.
Living when all the strings of his life were not his, one day made the middle aged man cry. Starting a business, writing a book, having a wife, having children, and having a house had once been his dreams. He had forgotten that. Letting himself be trapped by simplicity and tendency control of his life had left him. Why? Because he had been afraid of what would happen if he had left the path he appeared to be on.
He decided he would change. He decided that he would live his life as he wanted. When his boss asked him to work overtime on a Saturday with out compensation, he refused. When his neighbor asked him to baby-sit he refused. When a friend asked him to buy a hamburger for him he refused.
The next night sleeping, thinking another thought came to him. What if it was too late? What was he really changing? Nothing. What good was he doing? Should go back to the way things were. Should he go back to that hell? No. What should he do? He contemplated and then he thought, “Die” He went to the top of his apartment building’s roof and jumped.
He opened his eyes. And he saw what he hadn’t. He opened his eyes and saw life. He opened his eyes and saw death. He pulled himself out of his slumber and realized what he was searching for did not exist. There is no paradise. There is only here, now, and then after the rest, death.

It sucks, but we’ll take it
Ma, what’s on TV?
Nothing seeking to tell or give truth
Reality that’s not reality
And comedy that’s not witty
Its sucks, but I’ll take it
Ma, what’s to eat?
Foods that are fattening and greasy
Shit that that won’t even fill you up
Junk that’ll kill you up
It sucks, but I’ll take it
Ma what is it I can wear?
Shirts and shoes worth a third of what I paid
Glasses and Watches cost more than a car
They don’t even last that far
Before they will be out of style
It sucks, but I’ll take it
Ma what’s to hear?
A glorification of Sex and Drugs
Making it seem fun
When you know you’ll regret last night in the fucking –
Damn it, my head.
Who’s that in my bed?
--Morning
It sucks, but I’ll take it
Ma what’s to say?
No words that will distinguish you
From the world around you
And make you feel intelligent and excellent
It sucks, but I’ll take it.
Ma why do I take all this idiotic shit they feed me?
Because you do
You don’t stop and say
There’s no way I will pay
For this garbage you are feeding me
And I will let you see
What will happen when I make my own
TV, and music, and food, and clothes,
And on top of that
Give the world my words
Because it is absurd
That when
It sucks, we’ll take it
Nothing seeking to tell or give truth
Reality that’s not reality
And comedy that’s not witty
Its sucks, but I’ll take it

Seven Ladies Prologue
The Birth of the seven ladies and their Realms
There was first the immortal lady of the sky, Heathena who ruled over Acena and forged it into something great. In her domain knowledge and justice ruled. Eventually she fell in love married and gave birth to eight immortal daughters like herself and one son.
The daughters grew and soon wanted each of their own realms. Heathena gave into them and gave to each of them a portion of her own realm and giving them power over those realms but kept her great city in the sky. Each realm’s peoples and lands began to mirror the lady that ruled it.
The eldest Artemis’s realm quickly became covered with trees and beasts. Wild and beautiful she became the lady of the forest. Her people were like her, woodsmen and rangers. Whatever they needed they found in her woods, but if they took more that they needed, they were put under her form of justice in which they became the creature they wronged.
The second eldest, Chelani’s realm quickly froze and became tundra. Chelani had a heart of ice and thus became the lady of ice also known as the lady of the white desert. Ruthless and brutal she gave nothing to her people. What ever they wanted to eat they had to hunt. Resources were scarce and warmth was nonexistent. Life was hard and the only law in the land became the law of survival.
Like her older sister Marseta was ruthless. Marseta was also harsh. Her land became a vast blazing hot desert of golden sand . She made her people into fierce warriors who became masters in the arts of war and battle. The lady of the desert’s people held deadly competitions to gain what they wished. It is their custom and belief that what they want should be grasped aggressively with strength and to prove that they are worthy of it they should be able to combat all who would take it away.
Cerhesta, the forth born believed that anything could be achieved with hard work and help great value in the bond of family Her realm had fertile soil that would provide all the people needed and wanted if they tilled and worked it. She became the lady of the plains. The people of the plain became farmers and raised families.
Myene believed that people should be around people. Her land became a large hub of Acena and so she became the lady of the city. Her city attracted merchants and business. The people there quickly learned to read each other and be perceptive so they could get the most out of a deal. The city people were extremely cleaver and worldly.
Apphesta loved art, skill beauty, and making things. Her land provided materials that could be crafted. Stone, which could create great statues, minerals that could be made into paint and metal which could form nearly anything existed in her realm. She became the lady of the mountain who could see anything and make it into what was needed by the hand or by the soul.
Playful Posidia was the second youngest and loved stories, song and adventures. She became the lady of the sea. Her people were sailors who told tales and sang songs on the oceans. They like her would sometimes be roguish but on the sea’s anything was fair.
The youngest Hadea was young and still trying to find herself when the tragedy struck
The war of the seven Ladies
Marseta believed that she was the strongest and should have all the lands. She conquered Cerhesta’s farms easily and started to burn them. But her ambitions were larger than a few farms. Making the promise to her sisters that she would control the entire world she plunged all Acena into war.
Apphesta and Myene surrendered their lands out of fear. Apphesta did not want her art to be destroyed for it could never be replaced and Myene did not want her people to be destroyed for the same reason. The fought for Marseta against their will but they fought for her. Marseta was extremely pleased by their surrender. Apphesta had iron and a means to forage it into weapons. Myene had an ample supply of soldiers.
Although some of the ladies surrendered others fought Posidia who was mistress of the seas had a well armed navy and used it to bombard the coasts and pirate her sisters’ trade ships. Her ships could do anything on water. No ship was a match for Posidia’s ships.
Artemis knew that if Marseta ever possessed her forests she would burn them like she burned Cerhesta’s farms and that was a thought she could not bear. Her people used the skills they had learned within the forest, hunting, camping, and bow making to their advantage in the fight against Marseta. Artemis also sent her beasts into battle using them as soldiers just as well as humans.
Chelani was much like her sister. She believed that if anyone deserved ultimate power it was her. She refused to give up her lands. The life of cold and harsh perpetual winter had hardened her people. Her ice warriors were just as harsh as Marseta’s desert warriors. They used the spears the used for hunting as weapons.
In the war Hadea tried to stay neutral because she had nothing to loose she had few people in her land. However her sisters would not let her. The ladies rampaged through Hadea’s land burning it and salting it so nothing could ever live there.
Eventually Heathena became aware of the war. She was angered and ordered the sisters to put a stop to the war. The sisters were obligated to do as she asked for she was their mother and she still held dominion over the sky which was above all off their lands. Heathena drafted a written treaty that stated that the sisters were no longer to control armies and all lands would be returned under the jurisdiction to the lady that controlled it prior to the war.
The Birth of the Guardians
Each of the ladies had to obey the treaty but they still felt the need to have a military to defend them. Cerhesta came with a solution that only she could see. Her plan was that each lady would find a husband and have a child. That child would found a family that in every generation would have one person bonded to the lady, charged to protect her, her land and her honor. Also each guardian would be charged to lead the military of the ladies’ land.
Each lady would give the guardian a weapon and the ability to change into animal form that represented her. The guardian of the sky would have the form of an eagle and a gauntlet that could change into any weapon or armor the guardian could conceive.
The guardian of the desert would have the form of a lion and a scimitar that could become surrounded by fire.
The guardian of the forest would have a bow created arrows whenever it was knocked. Also the tip of the arrow created could do strange things to what ever it hit even if the target was only grazed. The guardian of the forest would have the form of a wolf.
The guardian of the city would have a dagger that grow or shrink to any size and the ability to change into a fox.
The guardian of the sea would have the ability to change into a dolphin as well as two twin swords that when used could make sounds that could do peculiar things and some times sound as if they were singing.
The guardian of the plains would have a sling that could not miss its mark and have the ability to turn into an ox.
The guardian of ice would have the form of an orca and a harpoon.
The guardian of the mountain would have a war hammer that could shatter even the thickest steal to pieces and be able to turn into a bear.
After the seven ladies war there were no more wars. Nobody wanted to relive the hell that was that conflict. Time passed and in every generation there were new guardians. The guardians became bored of life in Acena and all eventually decide to go to a new world. That world was called Earth. They would each find haven in a time and place that suited them.
The lady of the Grave
Hadea never forgave her sisters for what they did. In her mind they robed her of what her realm and her life could have been. Nothing could grow in her land. It became barren and a land of death. Eventually the souls of all those who died in the seven ladies war would become attracted to this land of death and would sympathize with the lady of the grave. To them their lives had been stolen by the folly of their former masters. She always secretly plotted to get revenge on her sisters but she had no chance of ever fulfilling her purpose of revenge with the guardians in place. When they left she saw an opportunity to take the land that should be hers and get revenge for what was done to her.
