Things are starting to look up

I swears, I'm starting to like Uni again, maybe its the A I just gots in Learning Tech, or something but these are the most A's for major assignments I have seen in more than two years.

And things are starting to look up for the family again, operation success, and my brother seems fine, all good news for me. Now all I need to do is start and finish my electronic Portfolio...Using Dreamweaver of course.
Its meant to be like a webpage sought of affair, something I'm quite good at doing.

A short story


He kept to the shadows as he followed, what was it about this girl which seemed so familiar?
He shook his head, as he was about to leave, a voice in the dark ahead of him coursed him to stop, what was going on here? He moved closer treading soundlessly on the gravel beneath him.
His hand moved to the hilt of one of his swords, as the girl seemed to be backing away from whoever had been speaking. He moved closer still and heard the voice, his hand tightened on his sword.
She almost broke to running, but her military training kicked in forcing her to stand and listen, he could tell she was terrified. The owner of the voice suddenly lunged out for her with a sword, he moved without thought, his right sword left its sheath, and sliced through the man’s hand, neatly severing it, as the man screamed. She screamed in turn, as he neatly positioned himself between her and her assailants. Another two lunged at him as their companion collapsed to the ground bleeding heavily. He drew his other companion sword and held both at bay.
His eyes were hard as he pushed them back, whoever this girl was he wanted to protect her. He kicked one in the stomach with enough force to send him flying across the street. The other man let out a cry of fear as he ran away, dropping his weapons as he ran.
He turned to look at the girl, as she still stared at the dieing man; he looked her in the face till his fierce stare caught her attention. He softened his expression, “You should go.” He murmured.
“Who are you?” she asked quietly, almost mute from the shock.
He didn’t answer for a time as he thought over what to say, “I’m a wanderer.” He finally answered, he started walking away, he had been here too long already, she still hadn’t moved however. He turned to look at her, something was wrong with her.
His eyes widened as she collapsed, he caught her in his arms, and lifted her into the air with surprising ease. He looked at her silently before he began walking, retracing his steps.
He eventually reached the barracks, as the moon reached its zenith. A surprised shout was heard, and a massive man, ran up to him.
“Aeries!” he said in alarm, looking at her limp form, his gaze transferred to the man holding her, “What happened to her, and who are you?” he asked carefully, not sure what to make of the black cloaked, white haired man.
“She ran into a bad crowd, I intervened.” He said quietly, gently placing her in the arms of the man. He turned and began to walk away.
“Who the hell are you?!” the huge man asked again.
The wanderer looked at him for several moments, “A passer buyer, no more no less.” He said quietly before he disappeared into the shadows of the city.

Another part of the opening segment of the Saudes Saga...tell me what ya think, if you feel like it of course.

A place called falling to pieces

I have had as much sleep as a...uh...as much as a ...uh shark doesn't work, they actually do sleep, uh...hmmm, do jellyfish get tired?
Anyway I've had as much sleep as a jellyfish this week...yeah...*loud over done cough*

Anyway enough bout me, more about the Guardian Universe...

Now split into three different worlds.

The Saudes Saga, made up of two series.
Chronicles of Ovaleen, (yes based on the DnD game I dare I say Dungeon Mastered)
The Realm(I came up with this one revisiting prior work and after playing Medieval Total War for days on end.)

Each world are set in different universes, so characters from one cannot interact with another, unless I decide to start doing comedic crossovers.
Characters they all contain are the Immortals

Eledor
Draicon
Finn
Saldesin
Sorbrean
Calden
Gothilius Sarah
Araluen Gareth
Aeries Vincent
Elessa Nazrul
Adela
Lynaldris
Nira
Tiranna
Toyohashi
Alec
Emily

NEED MORE CHARACTERS MUCH MORE!
...anyway, heres a brief little description of each world.

Saudes Saga
The saudes Saga is split into two parts.
Part one, focuses on the introduction of key characters and alliances that persevere throughout the entire continuim of the Saudes Saga.
The year is 1185AW, a massive invasion force decimated the northern kingdom of Risonia, the scattered few survivors claimed the army possessed magical beasts, that could tear the walls down of the mighty Risonian fortress, and were supported by thousands of of humanlike creatures, who appeared human except for their eerie green lizard like eyes and scattered scales across their faces. In this time a young female soldier of the Felkonian Militia, Aeries is swept up into a desperate race to save the human race from genocide.
Part two jumps nearly three thousand years into the future.
The year is 2085AE
A massive war has overtaken the galaxy as the Alliance engages in a desperate war to fight off the massive might of the Orphan League. Cail a young Alliance Lieutenant finds himself at the command of a damaged prototype battlecruiser deep behind enemy lines, due to sabotage. Charcters introduced in part one reappear, though many are greatly changed by the events that led up to this point.

Chronicles of Ovaleen
Based on the Dnd game I created for Tendafoot, my sister and my brother, the Chronicles of Ovaleen(not Ovalteen dammit!) is also split into two parts. The first part concerns the adventures of Rain a young druid, Aramil an Eldrasan warrior and his sister Mint a multitalented girl, as they find themselves threatened with death in a years time if they do not do what a mighty demon king tells them to do. Their adventures take them all over the world of Ovaleen, meeting numerous characters who help, hinder and completely ignore the group as they travel.
Part two, the Angelus Campaign, set on the small continent of Angelus, some fifty years later, a young knight, her adopted father, and her silent guardian set out on a quest to end the Demonic hold on Angelus and Ovaleen. They are joined by the powerful eldrasan sorceress Clairess, a young and energenic half-eld, who happens to be a daughter of Wren, one of the main helping characters from Part 1, and the dark ranger Lucas Windshear who hides a terrible heritage.

The Realm
In the distant land of Fareis, exists a mighty Empire simply known as the Realm. This more than any of the other worlds, is based on historic peoples, with a touch of fantasy of course. ShandrillanKnights, christened by the Church of Shandrila act as the officers, police and special forces of the Realm. It focuses on the story of a young squire by the name of(you guessed it) Aeries, who through the help of her adoptive father Sir Findley Falcon, has been training to become a squire. On the day of selection by knights for squires however she is overlooked, for being a girl, as she was better than many of the other potential squires. Fortunately, in a way, a strange black cloaked man challenges her to a duel. In the ensuing fight he toys with her, before defeating her with just two strokes of his sword. Revealing himself to be a knight as well, he takes her on as his squire, to as he says, train her properly in the way of combat. It follows her adventurous across the massive Realm, she slowly begins to learn more about her retiscent Master as the journey.
Meanwhile a man naming himself the Hand of Death is assassinating many powerful people throughout the Realm, in the name of the Shandrillan Church.

Now they are only brief intros to each story.
Hope Y'al like them.

On another note, I want burning crusade to come out already, and Advent Children rocks in all languages!
And on another, another note I got meself a second blue tongue, though this one is viscious, I call him Rex. He attacked a pen my brother put in front of him.
my other Blue Tongue lizard is named hmmm...actually I don't have a name for her...how about Hissy?
