Chronicles of a Gryphon Keeper

3rd Day of the Rainy Season 6th Year of Reign of Amaranth, The 17th Gryphon Keeper To Whom It May Concern, To think of the passage of time as if it's solely linear and as unstoppable as a stampeding elephant would cause me to laugh. For it is as far from such as I am from ever obtaining a stable level of sanity. Sanity happens to be a great enemy of mine for it only produces what has already been invented. Insanity is the realm of the greats, a place where thoughts are created and inventions made. For no one but one who is insane could ever dream of accomplishing what those who are sane deem as impossible. These letters that I am writing

The Danger of the Flame

She was no one of particular consequence; in fact, one might pass her by and not even know she existed. As painful as it was, she was fully and completely aware of what people saw her as, and she felt confined by it, as if her fate had already been decided and she had no say in it. A timid thing she was, and one who preferred the shadows to the crowded streets. The noise and confusion disoriented her, making her claustrophobic. She was young and knew not of her own name, having been abandoned before words where known to her. Dried mud plastered her dark, tanned skin and tattered clothing. Her raven black hair was matted and twisted, since c

Death's Ode: Vanity and Greed

Cans't thou see? Doth thou have eyes? Art thou blind? Cans't thou see thine greed and vanity? A gentleman art thou Or so thou art called Ha! Thou wilt skin thy own children for a penny more And thy, youthful lady Thou art a vulture in the feathers of a peacock Thy lookest as a beauty But thou art not more than an old hag "Sell thy soul to me," I offerest thou "And thou shalt have thine desire."

Dystopian Project

25 of Junovira, Year of Excalibur Chosen Knight Evelindor Last night, I had that dream again. It's not really as much of a dream as a haunting memory from my past. Sometimes I find it hard to believe that it was, but it is and there's nothing I can do about it. It starts the same way every time... The streets were crowded; filled with tourists, locals and him. I lay belly-down on the rough rooftop of a building, looking down at the crowd. The Eiffel Tower loomed in the distance, a cold, metal structure that for some reason had gained significance. It wasn't like the Pyramids of Egypt, which were constructed for the afterlife; no, this tow

Victim of the Labyrinth:Tidbit

I sat up quickly in bed, gasping for a breath. My heart beat rapidly and my breaths were just as quick. I crossed my legs and rested my head in my hands. After awhile, my heart beat like usually and I felt like I could finally breathe. I lifted my head up out of my hands and looked around. Sunlight filled the room, followed by a soft breeze that brushed my hair across my face. I brushed it to the side. I was a bit confused. I couldn't remember how I got here, or even where I was. I didn't even know what my dream had been about. All I knew was that it hadn't happened to me before. Then all the memories started to flood my head. Ok, now I know

Child of Eternity: Intro

The torches flickered as I walked by, down the cold, dank passageway. Flanking me on both sides were two of the men who had created this marvel and gifted it to me. One an architect, and the other the master builder. They were the only two who knew all the secrets to my underground palace other than myself, and for that they would pay. The two men showed me around trying to impress me with the skill in which my palace was built. I wasn't entirely impressed, but it would have to do. After all, it was the best mortals could do. I would rid the world of all morals if they were not so essential. They were the essence of life, an almost an ambro

Mind Reader: Pt 2

My heart beat furiously in my chest. I quickly closed the window and turned off my computer. I lay back in my chair, feeling very freaked out. "Crap." I whispered. I wasn't supposed to feel afraid, I was a teenager, almost an adult. Being scared is for the little "tweenies" and kids, I'm a teenager! I felt stupid, really pathetic. All it took was a stupid, silly website to get me into this world of insecurity. I took a couple of deep breaths and got up from my computer chair. It spun around slightly; I could hear the little creaking noises the springs made. I really had to get that greased sometime. I heard the door slam upstairs. "Hey, hun

The Mind Reader: Pt 1

It started out like any other thing. Some sort of joke or game, but then it changed. It changed drastically in not more than a couple of hear-pounding, life-ending seconds. It was a simple website, nothing unusual from the normal run-of-the-mill psychic sites. Some daily fortunes, a love forecast, maybe a couple of other random psychic stuff, but it had one thing that made it distinctive. It had a fortuneteller. Not something stupid, like one of those cheesy, unrealistic virtual things, but a real fortuneteller. It all started with an email, the usual forward that I normally just delete, but not this time. This time I opened it, read it and c

My Bio

I'm a (currently) unpublished author from Canada. I've been writing since I was very young, and have been making up stories for as long as I can remember. I finished my first full novel a few years ago, but I have to admit I'm not very proud of it. I don't know, but it just doesn't seem right. Oh, well. I guess it's one of those "learning experiences". I love reading and writing! That's practically all you'll find me doing. I personally love all types of books (pretty much), especially classical literature. I love the poetic way they wrote back then and the unique way of writing that always makes me wish I could write something like that. Most of my ideas actually come from the many weird/strange dreams I get about every 2 days. They're interesting, that's for sure, but they always manage to spark an idea that get's me going. I mostly write fantasy, historical fiction and mystery/thrillers. I love taking bits from history and making them into my own ideas and just creating a new story. Fantasy is so much fun, because I get to make up my own world and I'm not bounded by the technology or historical time-line that historical fiction gives me. And mystery/thrillers are just a little hobby of mine. I love scaring people, having red-herrings and creating a slight shock when I turn the story the other way around.

I'm currently in the midst of my new novella "Victim of the Labyrinth", some little tidbits of it are/will be posted here if you want to check them out. It's more so a twist of a classical mythology story. I personally love the idea and plot I've got in my head, and I'm having a lot of fun writing and experimenting with it.

I love getting advice and constructive criticism, because they're such a big help. They allow me grow and improve as a writer. So, feel free to post some comments on what you think of my writing. I strongly believe reading helps you to grow as well. It's like learning through observation. Kinda like what you did as a child like walking, talking (more so learning through listening), how to do certain things, etc. Like I mention before, I really love the feel and sound of classical literature so if you have any books you want recommend (whether they are of the classical literature variety or any other genres) feel free to do so!

Long time

0 min read

It has been a looooong time since I've bothered to write a journal here on deviantart, however my blog has been flooded with my ranting posts for the past few months. I almost feel like I'm depriving people of the somewhat insane me! What a shame... *tsk*tsk* If you haven't seen my blog, here's a little update: I've been really, really sick since September 2011 and I've been doing my best to keep up with school (I've missed around half my classes), get better and maintain a level of emotional stability. The unfortunate thing is the doctors don't even know what's wrong with me. Almost all of the tests they've done have conflicted with each ot

Banff

0 min read

Having a good week? I'm having an even better one! I totally got to take a week off so I could head to Banff and snowboard all week! :D YES! So far, so good. I have maimed myself yet, which makes this a successful trip. I took some lessons (2nd time out)  today so I can actually snowboard on my toes, which was really hard for me. A couple of good, solid falls to rattle my brain (Thank goodness for that helmet!) and a few bruises here and there, but it is so worth it. I may have to go to bed super early, since I am drained of all energy. If y'all need a place to go during winter (especially if you live somewhere warm) try Banff. It's so beau

Death's Odes

0 min read

Well, I guess I've been either feeling a little morbid lately, or maybe I was supposed to be born during medieval times when Death literature (I forget the official name) went wild. Anyway, so I was in Biology today and I was working on a project having to due with Anorexia Nervosa. Either way, I had the odd desire to write a second ode in a shakespearean-ish (check out "Ode to Denae"). It took a weird turn when I decided to write it from Death's perspective. I'm not a poet. I know that. I suck at writing poetry and I usually don't like reading it either (sorry to all you poets out there. Personal opinion). I actually kinda like this style.

sry to say this here but I love your signature. THAT has always been a motto of mine! It's worded a little differently than how I say it but I love to see someone with similar thoughts as mine anyway! "It's your flaws that make you perfect and sometimes perfection is the greatest flaw."
