Day two of midterms begins badly...

My chemistry teacher is the Queen Tsi Sgili [obscure House of Night series reference].

My math teacher is a fricking saint. She's my new best friend. ..Sorry Kite, you've been replaced. XD [Just kidding, serunœ. I still love you.]

Anyway, the Purple Queen doesn't listen to a word her students say; the Red Queen makes it up to her students by chasing them down and talking to them. [Yes, that's a Cherokee reference, too.] Anyway, crushing all the two-hour exams into 4 hours and fifteen minutes left the rest of the day with nothing to do. I took the opportunity to curl into one of the computer room chairs, pull up youtube, and pop my headphones in to start writing. I managed to ignore the Purple Queen's attempts to spear me through my bun with her Scottish eye-daggers. ... My response? Yup, you guessed it. The Italian Evil Eye over the top of my glasses. It amused me, for reasons I can't explain.

The Solaria Chronicles : Episode 'Unknown' - Part Two

The Solaria Chronicles; continued

For a few seconds, she almost believed Balance. ALMOST. And then an assurance by someone very dear to her replayed in her head. "I'm real enough for anyone who matters! And I refuse! I'VE given YOU enough chances, Balance, and I won't stand for one more threat you utter against my family!"

The light-elemental backed up three steps, moving her right hand in a slow circle, setting the glowing design she had called from the Eternus Crystal spinning languidly. "I call forth from the depths of time and space, that which has been preserved. Last ancient of the time before, I call your name through the winds of years long past. Trapped without due reason, I give you the ability to wreak your vengeance! D'Elaene! Please aid me!"

A silver thread formed in midair in front of the circling design, growing and stretching until a spirit-representation of a beautiful silver dragon stood proudly between Lucis and Balance. “I will grant your request for aid in my mate’s name, child.” The spirit rushed backwards into the design, which lit to near-blinding capacity. 

“Saeheno lenae dotoeta nuroe doegomaenasentosiu!” The long burst of Solarian was accompanied by Lucis taking three steps forward and hesitating. ‘Oh Kal’drystz, I really don’t want to do this! But I’m afraid of her hurting someone I love. …I’m afraid of what I’ll become if I do, but can’t stand the thought of what will happen if I don’t. I don’t want to become to Kite and Serrie what Balance is to me. I would never want to hurt them, or order them to hurt those they care about, for the sake of getting my own way. I’m so scared… What do I do? Please, I don’t want to do this… Please, let there be another way to stop her… Please, please…. I can’t. She’s horrible, and she’s killed innocent people, but so have I. And she’s still my mother. I can’t kill her, I don’t want to, but I won’t let her kill the people I care about either. Please, please, can’t there be a happy medium? I don’t want to take over! I just want to stay how I am! I’m too afraid of losing myself! I’ve been lost for eons before this, and I don’t want to go back to that!’

The spirit-dragon’s summoning runes roared and a flare of her energy surrounded Lucis before forming a concentrated sphere of it around her right arm, which she swung in a partial circle in front of her, an arc following slowly. "Solaria Crisis Capacity!" Everything flared with silver-gold light in a soundless explosion that sent Balance to the floor, smoking a fair amount but otherwise not too damaged. 'Damn it. Barely a scratch. This is going to SUCK.' Almost as proof of her statement's validity, a few white energy-strands burst behind Balance and whipped out at Lucis, slamming right through the split-second barrier the light-elemental had thrown up and slashing out at her, throwing her into the far wall and away from the Eternus Crystal, leaving her bleeding and severely bruised, if not with several broken bones and a minor concussion.

'You are yet young and naïve, believing in the good of others and your 'family', Light. It may yet temper with age if you give in now.' Balance's mind-speak was meant to show the dominance, power, and control that came with living and aging; all it served to do was prove to Lucis that she didn't understand.

"Not a chance, cohael!" Balance would know that. She would know Lucis was calling her no better than a demon. No better than the least of the semi-mortals. Balance would know. And Balance would get angry. That was Lucis’ current plan. Get her as pissed as she could, and wait for her to slip up and make one fatal mistake. She just needed ONE little opening, and that was it.

Today sucked....

Long story short: Anatomy and Physiology final was a cat dissection. That was all fine and dandy until my group decided to gruesomely dismantle the cat. Is there no sanctity for life anymore? What about respect for the dead? ...Apparently none of either when it isn't a human.

So yeah, that kinda killed my whole day. Bella-the-Witch-with-a-'B' did not help. We nearly got into a fistfight. Thankfully I was woman enough to walk the damn hell away.

Anyway, that's my rant for today, I'm cutting it short. More SC coming up shortly.

~V out!~

The Solaria Chronicles : Episode 'Unknown'

The Solaria Chronicles: Episode 'Unknown' Part 1; Solar Arc 

"Real or Not? Lucis Questions her Existence!"

Balance had been being particularly aggravating recently, and Lucis was beyond tired of it. She was no inexperienced, naive, unknowing newly-created being anymore, and it was time she stood up for herself. "Balance, get down here." That was the first surprise of the day. Lucis was ordering Balance to come to her and not the other way around. It was time they talked on equal footing, and the only way that would occur would be to stay close enough to Solaria to keep in contact with the Eternus Crystal.

The grayish crystal was filled with blue, purple, silver, and gold threads of power and energy, all swirling around and through each other continuously. It was the power source of Solaria, and intricately tied to whomever the current ruler was. Right then, it was Lucis that was the queen of the palace on the sun.

It took several minutes for Balance to arrive, and Lucis was ready and waiting for her. "Balance, enough of this. I won't do your dirty work anymore. Either you need to STOP your drastic measures, or you need to do things yourself and expect that I'll be there to try and stop you. From now on, I stand on my own. I won't bow to you two anymore."

"Stupid creation, do you not remember why you have remained in my service so long?" The white-haired, pale woman stared straight at Lucis, whom instead of cringing, for once kept her back straight and simply reached one hand behind her, placing it flat on the Eternus Crystal's multifaceted surface.

"I remember. And now it's my turn to reverse the favor on you. Stop your senseless murders, or I'll stop them for you, right here, right now. And stay away from my family, bi***." A gold and purple strand of light floated from the Eternus Crystal and looped around itself a few times, creating a flowing and complex symbol.

"There is a large chance that trying that will destroy you, Light," Balance pointed out tonelessly, "Are you willing to accept that possibility?"

"If it will get rid of you and keep everyone I love safe, yes. I'll risk anything for them." Glaring, the brunette crossed her arms, "And my NAME is Lucis, Balance."

"Only real creatures and humans have names, Light. You are neither. Desist this game of having emotions."

"You're wrong. I'm real. I'm just as real as anyone else. I have emotions, I can bleed, I can breathe. I can even die. When I burn out, I become human. I'm real, Balance, and that's why I know you're wrong." She was sure of it, smiling confidently, even at the look on Balance's face that usually preceded her being beat to within an inch of her death and then expected to stay conscious through a four-hour lecture. 

"Your impudence vexes me, Light."

"I'm not scared this time, Balance. I know I'm right, and I know I'll win I it comes down to a fight."

"You are WRONG. You are nothing reminiscent of real, or human. You were created by Existence and I for one single purpose, and that was to do as we bid you. You accepted that when you awoke, under the conditions that you would be immediately destroyed if you did not do as we bid you. You are not human, you are simple light given sentience; not emotions, not a personality, and most certainly not a NAME. All of those are intrinsically human, some thing you are not. We have been very lenient with you, Light. We have given you far too many chances already. I am willing to offer you this last one. Leave now, forget this temporary bout of rebelliousness, and go do as I bid; I will allow you to keep your so-called humanity if you do. But refuse again, and everyone you 'love' will suffer, Light."

Am I done yet?

Can't wait until June, because then I'll be doing my internship and won't have this crud to deal with.

In other news, I haven't thought of anything to say here for.... 8 days. V phail. Then again, I've been working on the SC final chapter a lot, so my brain's been taken up by that. Oh, speaking of [and ignoring my own rambling here] I've got a snippet for all you good little boys and girls~ It's still a work in progress, and the title's likely to change. ...But I have to break it into a separate entry.

~V out!~

Well, it's a new year...

And I'm hoping with all my heart that it's as beautiful as it appears it will be. <3

In other news, Kite was over last night, and I swear she enjoys teasing the slagging hell out of me for fun. My response: tackling her and stealing my ipod back. But her Christmas present to me more than made up for the embarrassment, even if it made me cry at the end. And the pillow pet is so cute, but I really need to come up with a name for it. .....I'm very tired, don't mind how childish this sounds.

Also, I want to welcome a new blogger. Nice to see you've joined into the insanity, Jack. I suggest you run while you have the chance. XD

The end of the beginning,

~V out!~

It's been a couple days...

...But I've been busy.

Despite having a.... 10 day(?) break, I have 3 essays, an objective notebook, and scholarship stuff to do. ...Not counting all the other stuff I have to do just for myself. .... Slag.

Buried under mountains of work and not enough time to do it in,

~V out!~
