Of Each Foggy Night

She is a beautiful starry night

Her lands shrouded with fog;

And her fog causes us sorrow and delight

For the next day to come.

And she washes away his troubles

For he appears when the sun comes out;

Thrilling, yet willing

He comes into her clean residence.

They dance at twilight

Cleaned by the fog of her feathers at night

Before the next dawn when they dance again.

The Raven Observes

A young man asks a girl to dance the waltz.  Meanwhile in the background, the raven observes them and  holds a pen, showing its intelligence and curiousness as it watches the things that go on about the species of human beings.
 

When Swythe Was Drunk

An old short story I did a while back, made into a poem.

Sometimes, I like to think I live in a small town in a small crack

Just big enough to fit me

And get by in life without making a big show of it.

Some people like to live in small cracks

Just big enough to fit themselves

While others live so large

They suffocate at to bottom of their crack

Because a million other people are piled on top of them.

Perhaps all this explaining I am doing is getting painful

            Since all I am doing is talking about human society

            So now I will finish explaining and start my story.

Deep in the bowls of the city of Los Vegas,

Which is the city that I live  

I was walking down the street and a man around my age (22 or so)

Came and randomly stomped on my foot.  

Now like the "good" person I am, I gladly ignored him

And went on walking to my car.  

Unfortunately, this wretched young man followed me

And tapped on my shoulder about five times

Before I finally turned around and slapped him.  

Yes, it doesn't seem quite right that this handsome guy deserved the slap

But he was getting on my nerves big time.

It ends up being, this guy was trying to ask for directions,

Which I had no clue in the slightest he was doing

 And he didn't quite know how to say it in words.  

I began to think he was drunk.  

If he was, I would probably take him back to his home until he recovered

Instead of taking him to the police department

And making my life a whole lot more complicated.  

Perhaps it would be even easier

To just leave him here for another person to deal with,

But this guy wouldn't stop following me.

I agreed to take him back to his house and said that if he didn't shut up

I would put him on the street where he belongs  

Okay, looking back I think that was a little harsh to say  

But he gladly shut up until I returned him to his house.  

After that, he asked if I had "the time"  

And I told him 9:20.

He then said it again.  I grew annoyed.  

Finally, I figured out that he was asking if I could stay

And help him with burning CDs on his computer.  

He told me that he was part of a band

 He told me that his name was Swythe Tenon

Which is a rather odd name I must say

And he said that he would pay me if I burned the CDs for him.  

I accepted.  I didn't see any violence

Or any mischief in his eyes

So I accepted, and I burned as many CDs as I could

While Swythe crashed on the couch.  

I don't know how long it was

But I seemed to have woken up in an odd place

With a great big crick in my neck

And a big pile of CDs lying all around me.  

I looked around and saw that this was Swythe's house

Oh, of course.  

And in the kitchen, Swythe was cooking

And after a long few minutes of realizing who I was

He came out with a plate of food for me.  

I began to feel like I had been the drunk one.  

I gladly ate the food

And told him about myself so that I would feel like and honored guest

Rather than just some idiot who burned CDs until 12:00 last night.  

I told Swythe how I liked to play the electric violin.  

Swythe told me about his band.  He asked

If he could hear me play sometime.  

I accepted his invitation.

Though I had never dreamed of being in a band before

I can somehow imagine myself on stage

Rocking away on my electric violin

Getting galvanized by the crowd around me.  

I had always wanted to live a simple life in a small crack

But I guess it's fine too that I'm in a band.  

In a way, I'm glad that Swythe out of all people

Stomped on my foot when he was drunk.

Myth of the Beginning of the Kabuniverse

How the kabuniverse was created...


          Within the Nothingness and Everythingness, there is a kabuniverse that expands forever and ever.  Within that kabuniverse lies the universes that also expand forever and ever.  Within the universes are the galaxies, and within the galaxies are the stars and solar systems.
          Before the kabuniverse came into being, there was Nothingness and Everythingness.  The Nothingness and Everythingness had no form, yet every form possibly imagined.  Throughout time, the kabuniverse formed within this Nothingness and Everythingness.  As more time passed, the universes formed, and then the galaxies and the solar systems.  After the kabuniverse was formed, the Nothingness and Everythingness decided to take shape as the Something, which would be everything within the kabuniverse.
          Some say the Gusyt, (which is Everything, Nothing, Something, and Time) took form as a god.  Some say it took form as something as simple as bacteria.  Some say it is a silver dragon called Zxero who has the entire kabuniverse within its body.  Some say it is the creator.  Either way, the Gusyt is perceived in many ways, and therefore, is unnamed, yet named everything in the entire kabuniverse.

A myth created for the sake of literature...

Praise to "Frindle's Rising!"

Here's to Kirin-Chan's latest story, Frindle's Rising!  So far, the story is great.  It is about the rise of power and the creation of a new world filled with danger.  So far,  Frindle has taken over with her power and ability to wield iron, even though she is one of the fey who is supposed to be sensitive to iron.  She kills the king and queen of the fey and becomes powerful.  Though she is long dead after about three centuries, her spirit still lingers.  Somehow, the hero-- or heroes of this story will defeat Frindle's power and let a free life prevail!  I can't wait for the next part.  Write on, my fellow comrade!

A poem of tribute to the story:

In the deepest crack of night

The fey take flight;

They drive the old dead day spirits away.

With their souls they will fight

Have no fright;

We shall drive her swiftly away!

But sir, she wields something powerful

And I am quite sorrowful

For she will kill us all!

But with our wit and heart

She won't tear us apart

Someday, we will find a way. 

Woot!  Looking forward to more.  I will update more on the stories my fellow comrades create on later posts.  For now, farewell!

Poem to Star Rider

Star Rider

Oh please oh please

Take me higher!

To the sky land,

And the sea of stars shall meet!

To where the birds shall stay together,

Or cause mischief for one another.

May the story takes us around the world,

May it take us to a place unknown,

Or anything that comes to:

The author,

The mother of this story.

Wretched Little Bee

You fly around my head

Wretched little bee

I’d much rather eat you ‘til dead!

Of course, before you eat me.

But I don’t underestimate you little bee

Nor do I underestimate myself

So I shall chase you little thing with glee!

Until I have you rotting on my shelf.

I shall chase you round the bed

And perhaps take a sip of tea

Then attempt to whack you with stick of lead!

Before you try to whack me.

I am just a jay you see

But I am in much better health

And I will not let you petulant thing free!

At least not until I beat you myself.

And so I sat down and I read

With my sharp claws at my knee

Waiting for you witty bee with dread.

And when you came, I did call “Quee!”

And round I chased you, little bee!

I stalked you with my graceful stealth

And I will have you all for me!

And add you as my extra wealth.

Now to finish you off with this beak on my head

I slice, slice, slice at thee!

And satisfied I am now you are dead.

It’s about time I get back to my tea. 

The Balance of Nothing and Everything

~A concept written by Lucia and Zxero.


There has always been the concept of light and dark, good and evil, weak and strong, good and bad, nothing and everything, etc.  These concepts mean something to us because we give them meanings.  Otherwise, these concepts and philosophies wouldn't really be there if humans didn't have the brains to perceive them.

There are many perspectives about the concept of Nothing and Everything.  Perhaps you wonder what we mean by this?  Let us take a piece of gold and a spider.  They balance out, don't they?  Maybe?  Perhaps you still don't understand what we mean by this.  Well let's see.  All depending on one's perspective and what time or place someone may be, either the gold will be Everything and the spider will be Nothing, or the gold will be Nothing and the spider will be Everything, or they will both be one at the same time (if you know what we mean).

See, Nothing and Everything may have a Good and Bad side.  Someone may dislike spiders and when they see one, will set their minds onto it in a bad way.  This makes the spider Everything and Bad.  But from the spider's perspective, they may be scared of the person who is scared of it, and perceives this person as Everything and Bad as well.  Since both the spider and person perceive each other  as Everything and Bad at that moment in time, they will form a negative energy between one another and of course, the person may end up killing that spider.

Now what about light and dark, weak and strong, smart and stupid, good and evil, and all the opposites of the rainbow?  Everything balances out, even though they fluctuate throughout time.  Even if you perceive a rat as Nothing and Bad, there wouldn't be too many eagles on the planet if there were no rats, would there?  Who knows, maybe there still would.  All we can say is, whatever happens, happens.  There are so many perspectives on earth and one cannot simply generalize these concepts people have about life.

Our concept of, Whatever Happens, Happens, only shows how things happen over time.  This concept is perceived as well, and it's pretty straightforward, so we have no need to explain it.

Now do you understand what Nothing and Everything is?  Perhaps you still don't.  Perhaps you do.  It's all a matter of perspective.  Like the piece of gold and the spider, one may be Nothing to a person, or one may be Everything.  Nothing and everything, good and evil, smart and stupid, weak and strong, light and dark, and all the opposites of the rainbow balance out and go through cycles over time, all pertaining to the concept of Whatever Happens, Happens.  

Of course, there's always something else people would add to these kinds of philosophical passages, but this is all there is to say.  Whatever comment added that has to do with this basically means the same thing as what was said here in our writing.  Now to sum up this essay, all we can say to "generalize" this whole passage is... we hope it was entertaining enough.

~Lucia and Zxero

She's Looking for a Star...

“I’m looking for a star.

Not just any old star

A fallen one!

You do not understand?

Perhaps I should be more specific.

I’m looking for a fallen meteorite.”

-From Lucia’s Journal

She lived on the beloved island.  The Isle of Quee.  An island not far to the west.  To the east being the Land of Raak.

She had blue feathers.  Blue as the windy ocean.  Shiny as the beautiful, treacherous stars.

A scrub jay she was.  The only one left on the island.  And she lived with the robins and pickleberry birds.

It was a village that she lived.  Tiny as a sparrow.  Even more so.  And the life this scrub jay lived.  Was as tiny as the village itself.  So very small.

Mehehehehehe EVIL MONTH!

About a Jay

Lucia:  Hey you!  Yep, this is kind of a straightforward start, but who cares, because stories gotta be straightforward!  Anyways, this is a blog about stories and story ideas and such.  This is mostly about legends and characters.  It all falls under one category: fiction writing.  (Perhaps a little nonfiction and philosophy, but still).  It's all ideas!


Now I bet you wonder what I mean by "About a Jay."  It means that writing is something you do when your mind is free.  And what kind of bird is free?  A jay!  I, Lucia happen to be a scrub jay helping Raven out with this blog.  You will notice that a lot of the characters add a lot of their own say to this blog.  You're welcome to have you character(s) add a say of their own on the comments section.


Besides that, enjoy!  (By the way, the picture at the top is of me and my friend Atrius).
