The choice parable

The choice parable

There's a meaning in all,

A meaning that even the blind can see,

Like the lone elephant crashing in the glass hall,

It's what life's about,it's the " that's how it's got to be".

Yet the choice is always upon us,

And what a burden it can be.

The narrator will always make you pick between the two doors,

As if they both are the same,as if it all,were merely a game.

I know all to well what it means to choose,

To follow one door and close the other,

And while life may win at it's very own game,

I can't but feel sorry for the unfairness.

As any choice in life,it's tale must be told,

With many more choices soon to follow,

Yet know now,you will always be remembered,

As the itch that everyone has,the "what if" that humanity builds upon.

I bid my forgotten a deep farewell,filled with sadness,

As no choice can ever be forgotten,

As can any be undone!

P.S.:

The reason for which the tale could never be completed,

Was only because Erather was always meant to die,

And since all good tales should end with a happy ending,

I pray that when that moment comes,that they at least died together.

Erather's Curse Finale (Prologue)

[The entrance lay unguarded but by vegetation,

Burnt,for the dragon was known to spare none and nothing.

A path of complete isolation awaited the last mage,

The end was anything but near...

I watched him of course,for mother had wanted me to do so,

And could see all the hate and fury that had been building inside of him.

As I followed him,undetected,as a shadow follows its master,

I could hear faint whispers from within the dark...

Yet no,he conjured a sphere of fire,

And the darkness was no more.

It was then that I had realized,

That the faint whispers were not from deep within,

Rather,he was talking,mustering himself.

...]

Erather:

Endless night,

Come forth and greet the light.

...

You robbed me of everything,

Stole the last bird that could sing,

Drowned me and then poured some more,
Until at last,you filled my heart with sore.

[Ohh dear,his eyes shine again with golden light]

Miserable and pathetic creature,I know you do not understand,
But it is this night,the moment for your kind to end.

[Oddly enough,the ground started shacking.

I was surprised obviously,since I had no recollection that father had such power.

Ohh dear,father is trying to find his balance,
Grasping and trying to hold tight to the cave's walls.

If it is not him the one causing this,then who...]

Argtesf:

Is that so?

...

Now do tell me human,
How is it that you plan to kill that which is immortal?

[THE DRAGON...

Apparently the legends and rumors were true,
The mighty dragon was still drawing breath,
And it had lived here all along,
Deep within the Misty Mountains.

After hearing its voice,the mage came back to his sense.
He no longer stood shacking,trying to maintain balance.

Instead...
Father was smiling.]

Erather:

You see,you rotting,miserable, old worm.
If I no longer have reason to live,
Then I no longer care for my life,
And by not caring,
I refute the very idea of limits,
And because of THAT...

You will feel my pain,even if it kills us both.

[It was then that I witnessed why mother spoke so great of him.

I withdrew a couple of feet back,almost knowingly,
Although I was anything but prepared for what awaited.

He took a deep breath,eyes shinning even brighter than ever before,
And as the air exited his lungs and flowed amidst the cave's stench,
He quickly fell onto one knee,his fist tight,slamming the ground.


...
The air grew hot,
The ground blew up,
All the walls that had surrounded us,
Vanished behind the veil of scorching flames,
As if hell itself had brought them there.

All that lay remaining,
Were father and a dragon.]

Argtesf:

Impressive,yet insufficient,
Although I must congratulate you for,
Shall we say finding your way through.
I was worried I might fall asleep until you got to me.

[Levitating and breathing heavily,
Both fists closed,shacking with rage,
The last mage seemed to have already decided...]

Erather:

Insufficient you say?
By the gods I haven't even begun yet.

Wait until I'll rip through your scales,
And on your skin,I shall leaving soaring blood trails.

Wait until you gauge my wrath,
For I will so much fill this mountain with fire,
That you'd believe it had always been this way.


Argtesf:

And what if you fail?

Erather:

THEN I WILL MAKE SURE THAT MY FAILURE MARKS THE END OF YOUR TIME.

Still,you refused to see it.
You blind yourself with arrogange.

Argtesf:

See what,mortal?

Erather:

YOU,WILL,DIE!
And so...will I.

[And with a smile on his face,
He charged towards the mighty dragon]

P.S.:

The end is not now!

Squeezed out

Only a short intro today that's actually from a previous post.

[And God said "No more!"]

Squeezed out

[I'm flattered and honored yet hated,

All the more alike with each passing second.]

And so I've heard that my message was not clear at first.

If that be the case,let my lungs howl these words with thirst,

Let this tragedy be banished to other dimensions and beyond,

For thou shalt revel in the meanings that I spawn:

"As birds would have once whispered in your ear,

Such calm preceded by the weather,

All of them lay joyful together,

All for a moment that lasted a year.

 Yet now,as spite and anguish have left the rooms,

Rooms that were so recently filled by your traitorous heart,

So too shall closure cleave throughout,

All the way through memory lane.

There's no more hope,there's no place warm,

You've sucked it all,be sure of that,

You've caused grief and so much harm,

I pity your judgement or for where it sat.

You've reveled starring as the blood was pressed out,

And that alone is a price too heavy to pay for a heart.

Judge not others when one's own judgement proves wrong,

Let bygones be bygones and walk the very path one chose."

.......

Metira:

Hope?

Erather:

No more!

P.S.:

Just so true kindness and wisdom can be understood,

It was even in the next day that one,after calming down,

Felt not hate or vengeance,but pity and mercy for those that had wronged her,

And although excuses are not needed,she hopes for better,for all of us.

The question never grows old

The post:

So it's somewhere around 5:30 AM and I'm writing (sad but true) and I'm writting on the blog.
Now listen here,I don't know if you're watching or not but the level of disappointment has reached above average.

I would never bother for something like you,especially after what you said on the phone so if you're seeing this,just stop checking this blog,it's pointless.
As I no longer mean anything to you,so do you to me. Capich ?!Lovely.glad that's settled!\

Now on to the normal post...Funny,amusing,sincere and at the same time alike,you seem to prove the ONE,yet how can fear not enter a traitorous heart?

When I've seen so much wrong done even when I was right,and even more when I was wrong?
I believed in such a person at some point yet just gave up and moved when realizing that I was the only one living in the same DREAM.

I do not wish to do same again,I have been hurt one so many times,and yet here I am doing what I always do,babbling about the same thing I always do!

I'm sincerely tired after all I've put up with it and I just need to rest and have calm and security...Are you able to provide just that?

P.S.:

I don't care about what's fair or not,

If a tooth for a tooth and what not,

But I'm sick and tired of this,

And there's this growing want that I feel,sounding like Dis!

When all else fails

I had started another post,but I'll leave it for another time (and quite frankly I don't know if it's even "valuable" anymore...we'll see).

When all else fails

Arkanis:

It's fair to say that when all else fails,

When there are no more marks to lead us back on our trails,

That hope is gone,

And as cruel as a spider's sting,tragedy has won.

Yet I've been weak for far too long,

And have attached myself more than I should have.

It is because of this that I wish to be once again strong,

Even if it means to be severed and halved.

I remember faintly who I truly am,echoing with the beats of a familiar song...

I've left peace and after so much time,I feel pain.

Because of the very hands that held my stars,

Are now sentenced to wear my scars.

It was love that purchased my traitorous heart,

And for this reason...

I...AM LEGEND,

Predestined for greatness,

Built for the final hour.

I've looked for light,but found only darkness,

I've searched for bright skies but walked in gloom.

I was destined to fall,even in the brightest days,

Among the living,I was like the dead.

I looked for justice,but it never came,

I looked for rescue,but it was far from me.

This is me,genius or not,

A stranger in my own place,

A nomad searching for its tribe,

Numb and driven mad by the sun!

P.S.:

Listen closely to the pace of my heart,

Follow its footsteps and purge the other part,

Engraved with runes by the purest of all beings,

I wish to be noble once more!

A lesson about life

For today's post I've decided to talk about an interesting idea through a head to head comparison to what hard-core gaming still means in the industry nowadays.Hope this will be fun to read and not that boring to some :P

A lesson about life

Life...Life has a strange way of putting obstacles in anyone's path from time to time.As if a personal test in order for us to regain our humanity or maybe to toughen us up or even to teach us a lesson...No matter the reason,obstacles appear in different shapes and forms.Some are easy to overcome whilst most are seemingly impossible at first.This reminds me of a game called Dark Souls.This game puts you through next to impossible situations from time to time,where the odds are never in your favor and forces the player,you,to overcome them.

What's more interesting is that the game let's you know this from the beginning as can be seen from the picture below (it's from the Debut Trailer):

And so,what can we learn from all of this,one might wonder?

The answer alone is pretty simple.

WE FIGHT!

We struggle,we endure,we wipe our faces from the mud from which we just fell,we take a deep breath,and we fight.

In same way we want to finish the game,we fight because we want a certain thing (a raise,to prove a point,to succeed in something).And even though the situation starts out like this at first:

I urge you all to fight and not quit because believe me when I say this...In the same way that any boss from the game can be beaten,then so can anyone overcome any obstacle if so they desire.

P.S.:

Keep you faith always alive,

For as the heretic shrives,

So does any passion thrive,

Like a beautiful concert,singing live!

Trialed Part 2: Fate's final hour

Arrogance is a virtue and intelligence is a perk...too few have!

Fate's final hour

[In the same chamber where once five had stood,

Now two old friends meet again,

One humble, wearing a hood,

And the other,arch-angel Gabriel.]

Arkanis:

Dear brother,I bring news from my journey,

And pray that my words won't seem ferny.

[The High-Lord gazed upon his once beloved one,

And then spoke with the voice of the father saddened by his own son]

Gabriel:

You may spare one of your points old friend,

For Erather has been already trialed.

I found it just to banish him to find his mortal end,

To strive for survival,alone,without any friend.

Thus I am eager to hear the second thought with which you came,

Moreover,I would like to know how did you cover your shame?

Arkanis:

That which you have requested has been done,

And as once I had left,so I returned,

No more an angel as before,

But a pastor still.

I took thy words in my heart, and I managed to find,

"Passion's cruel counter-part" easily behind.

I've wrecked the two stones together,

And kept one for myself.

Gabriel:

Was my punishment just?

Arkanis:

I don't know your lordship.

I no longer have to right to decide,

Yet I pray that I have atoned for my sins,

If not now,at least in thousand years.

Gabriel:

My dearest of friends,

Never let those words leave your mouth again.

Indeed you wronged humanity selfishly,

Yet what you had to do was to do right to both yourself and them as well.

You are now entitled to return to your former place,

And rule once more,pure as the fresh of winter's snow.

[The two sat silently,

One near the other.

...

Alas,when the silence broke,

It was clear to both that another choice had been made,

And the news the purest of angels wore,

Was anything but over]

Arkanis:

I remember everything that has passed during my departure,

I remember your words as well as Erather's.

Do not judge me now as a traitor,

But your judgement was wrong and his was right?

Gabriel:

Really now?

...

How so?

Arkanis:

You see,beloved of the Father,

I am no longer as pure as snow,

And there is nothing for me to show.

I have wronged both father and daughter.

I accept the deeds that I have done,

And as hate once spilled throughout my body,

I cannot see victory,I cannot see how I have won.

I am nothing but a writing that is almost entirely bawdy.

Gabriel:

You cannot believe such things Arkanis.

Arkanis:

Hah...Arkanis...

It's been a while since anyone has ever called me so.

I've been known more like a pastor the past couple of days,

Searching and thinking of different methods and ways,

In which I could save myself,or at least grant others,their dying wish.

I pray you'll one day understand my choice,

And for all this,never should you gaze upon me the same,

As I am no longer the one you just called by it's name,

But a being stripped of heart and angelic voice.

[Slowly,the hooded angel turned around,

And right before his knees could hit the ground,

Gabriel panicked immediately and shouted]

Gabriel:

My son...

What in heaven's name are you doing?

[Arkanis turned his head around,

Revealed his head from under the hood,

And a look appeared that asked for forgiveness.

His eyes then shut,

His head no longer towards Gabriel,

Facing the ground,

He let his feet pound.]

Arkanis:

"Righteous and pure as snow and water alike,

I am Arkanis,the angel of love who shall be seen as a tike,

As I refuse the entitlement given to us by God,

And give back my wings as I am flawed.

[The Highest of All rushed towards the other]

Gabriel:

Brother,no!

[The boy continued as if he were deaf to the words shouted in the massive hall]

Arkanis:

From this day onward shall I live a mortal life!

Never shall I look back,unless with strife!

Let it be known in heaven and earth alike,

That I am no longer but a human dike.

[Before Gabriel could spit another word,

Arkanis's wings fell,crushing to the floor.

As the High-One grasped the boy's angelic clothes,

They instantly froze and splattered,

And in only an instant,

Thus the boy had vanished!]

Gabriel:

What have you done,young one?

...

And God said "No more!"

Inspiration:

Skope-Trench Foot

P.S.:

As angels wage their wars through the tides of battle,

So can mortal fight alike,even more maybe for their beliefs.

As loyalty has fled and abandoned at the end of day,

Hope lies buried deep,waiting to cleanse any wild land.
