Princess Tutu-Summer It felt so different to see Fakir all day, every day. Kinkan Academy had let out several divisions for the summer, the ballet division included. Ahiru, once again a duck since Mytho and Rue had returned back to the story, had grown accustomed to being left alone with Uzura and Charon while Fakir went to the Academy. She saw him during the evenings, as he no longer boarded there, but it was still a pleasent change to see him all day. Fakir, also, was noticeably happier, not having to leave the house all the time to go to classes at the Academy. He was content to spend the warm days with Ahiru on the lake, watching here swim as he wr
Raikim Alway + Forever ch. 24Raimundo and Kimiko were seated in the cool cavern, they looked over what they had; a handful of Shen Gong Wu, the knowledge that neither Chase or Jack was responsible for whatever was happening, and a quickly fleeting hope. 'And each other...' Raimundo thought with a small smile and a quick blush. "Kimiko," Raimundo said, causing her to look up "We need to get everyone back as soon as possible." "That goes without saying," she replied glumly.Raimundo then abruptly stood, and walked a few feet. Kimiko turned to watch him but remained seated. Raimundo took a few more steps before suddenly ending up flat on his back staring at the ceiling of
Raikim-Always + Forever ch. 24Once Raimundo and Kimiko finally surfaced in the magma, Hours later, they were shocked and appalled to to find a cool, wet oasis. Kimikos fire shield faded and the Black Beetle armor receded ang the charm-like form of the Shen Gong Wu landed in Raimundo's hand. They began to cautiously wander around, keeping an eye out for traps. They were walking down a corridor of no particular importance when Raimundo said "Kimiko, look at this." He had found a door with a long tube sticking out near the top, and a torch a beneath it. Kimiko used the Star Hanabi to light the torch and Raimundo shot wind through the tube. Tumblers and gears spun behind the
Sonic Xiaolin ch.6 "It seem like we've been the center of attention, so, what about you guys?" Tails asked the Xiaolin. "We'll we should be gettin' on down to training. We'll show you." Clay said "Yes, I have yet to show you all my excellence!! It will be evil cold dud!!" Omi said once again abusing slang terms. "What?" Sonic whispered to Raimundo "I'm gonna go with 'Wicked cool dude" he whispered back "He must be doing that on purpose, to screw it up that much." Sonic said "Join the club" Rai said. Killing two birds with one stone the Sonic Heroes not only saw the elements in action, but also got their first glimpse of Shen Gong Wu Powers. Knuckles fell in
...Show me how?To be honest, the Wizard couldn't tell you what he'd done to end up with a child, but there wasn't really any other choice. When a small child shows up unconscious and unattended at your doorstep deep in the mountains surrounded by nothing but desert, it would be cruel to turn him back out into the world.When the Wizard had found the child, he had ascertained two things almost immediately: the first thing he had discovered after he brought the boy inside, and that was that he had been drugged. Opium, most likely. The second he discovered even sooner; it only took a brush of his fingers to take the the old sage completely by surprise. This b
The Gwen Parker Experience"Can I help you?" Gwen asked, sounding a little meaner than she had intended to. She considered herself a tolerant person, but right now she was somewhat busy, and she was in no mood to be stared at by an awkward freshman. Of course, one would say that if you did not wish to be stared at, you wouldn't dye your hair three different colors and have a wardrobe consisting primarily of black coordinated with a wide array of bright, neon colors. But that's just who Gwen Parker was: a goody-two-shoes junior-year honors student who happened to dress in a manner more befitting a pop star on psychedelic acid.The freshman suddenly seemed to realize th
How's this for an opener?A lone human girl, dressed in rather punkish clothes is led in procession of devils and demons down an ornate, dimly lit hall. The reader has no idea who she is, or why she is in her current situation. The curtains, which are the color of red wine, are drawn, allowing only a minuscule amount of the already dim sunlight inside the castle. The walls around the girl and her captors are carved with intricate, macabre scenes that at times seem to depict little more than a tangle of chipped bone and torn flesh, marinating in a liquid that could only be blood. But the girl doesn't examine them too closely. She keeps her eyes down, and forces an almo
Story IdeaMaple Syrup I don't think anyone really expects the end of the world. But what I most certainly did not expect was that I would survive it. So now I, Julian Canterbury, in habit what is left of the world, along with several other survivors from my town. I sit here with amnesia, asking myself all the important questions: How did the world end in the first place? Why are the only survivors teenagers? Why have they all suddenly decided to go completely feral and try to kill each other? Why won't Kate Mahoney give me the time of day? And how the hell did I end up living in a weapons cache subsisting on a liquid diet of maple syrup?
Cradle's Lullaby-CH. 1 "Power." It is a word that causes a great longing in an adult's mind. Adults spend their entire lives blindly pursuing "power," lusting after it, but never fully understanding what it is. Children are rarely tempted by the allure of power the same way adults are. So what happens when children have power thrust upon them, when they never asked for it? Children see the world differently from adults. A child's innocent view of the world allows them to identify circumstances and possibilities that adults so often tend to lose among the mess of trivial things that make up their lives. Ch
