 When I broke through the surface, I had expected her to be standing beside the water, ready to pull me up and show me something else spectacular. But, she was lying down on her back, looking up at the specks of mushrooms on the ceiling that looked like the starry night sky. She had a blank face and I couldn’t tell if the stream flowing from her eyes were tears or water. I pulled myself out of the water and sat beside her, my feet hanging into the pool. The glow from the crystals were still brightly shining and creating a mystical effect beneath the water. I couldn’t help but think to myself how incredible she was and how tight m

 “Tulil” I thought to myself. “That’s the word I saw on that door upstairs. So it’s a name. A name that belongs to a girl.” “Well?” She prompted me to speak. “I asked you a question. What is your name? Who are you?” I didn’t know what to say to her. I didn’t want to give any of them my name. I liked not leaving a real trace of myself here. So, I made a split second decision and hoped it would go no further; “You can call me Fire.” I said, watching her for some satisfied or irate reaction. But, she had neither. More of confusion. “Fire?” She q

 The faded-red tunic they'd put me in was very uncomfortable. It was rough and felt like it was rubbing the skin off my chest and shoulders, but at least the pants were alright. Or, at the very least, not as painful to wear. They were black, thick so there were a little more warm and bracing against the cold air of the cave. The outfit wasn't complete, though, without the luminescent, gold chain wrapped harshly around my neck, down to my torso where it cross it's self with mirrored tightness and wrapped me again, continuing this until it connected between my legs. I had no idea what their plans were for me here, but I was not okay with the id

 To tell the truth, I couldn't have said whether or not I'd deserved what I had gotten. The events that led to me trudging through the desert alone, starving, thirsty and bleeding to death could have been my own fault. More accurately, it probably had been my fault. Each step on that scorching, unforgiving graveyard was a new feeling of regret that burned almost as intensely as my bare feet on that sand. And if I could go back, I'd change absolutely nothing at all. I'd made my way about halfway to Khlarym without noticing the jolting pain radiating from the lower right-hand side of my back. The gash, fresh from a poorly sharpened blade, stil

Snow falling softly, So peaceful and calm. And I think of you, My heart in my palm. Cold and alone, All I know is you're here, Somewhere within me, Distracting my fear. I see your light, The fire inside. It warms me from here, Though you hide it. Or try... Hope withers softly And blends to the snow. Yet, still there is much And I won't let it go. I've waited and wanted For you to fall deep. For all of your feelings To leave their tight keep. And maybe I'll get there, One bright shining day. And all of this snowfall Will just melt away. Maybe someday, You'll finally see My frozen heart fracture, And send help to me. Until that day comes

If memory serves, Being cruel was your game. Marked by your selfish Desire for pain. To you, I'm a puppet With colorful strings. Tug here and there, Make me do anything. The life you've forgotten, What you've left behind, Is all your compassion. You were never kind. And if I could go back, So things weren't the same, I'd have lost all my feelings Of love for your name.

I watch a star Collapse tonight And wish upon A brighter light That you, the one who Wipes my tears Will stay and watch too Without a fear. No doubts at heart. No secrets kept. No promise broken While I slept. Just you and I And that bright star That's dying slowly Somewhere out so far.

Love-blind and lost, We can watch a world die. Not this one, of course, But the one in the sky. The world with one soul. Lonely ghost of the night. Whose secrets lie hidden In silver-blue light. Disheartened and hurt We can view it as one. We'll see as it shatters. The mirror of the sun. And as it all falls, Drowning all our distrust, Well capture the pieces Of silver moondust.
