The Prince and the Queen

The Prince and the Queen ------ The hooded cloak coiled around Akataras while he walked, white as the snow that fell from above. The black of mourning had not slipped from the elf's shoulders for long, before he had once again clad himself in light. Familiar pains were easier to bear perhaps, or he had found a new road, paved on the lives he had buried, that led to a more clear path. His path was clear, but his mind and heart were not. His long and ragged brown hair was not in the style of one whose mind was settled, or heart healed. The white furs, silks and leathers he wore only warded against the frost outside, not within. The exhaustion

On These Lost Wings

On These Lost Wings ------ O'er every hill, I soar to you, On these black wings of mine, Oh precious one who I adore, That I dare to call divine, None who speak can tell me why, I should not hold you close, And with this serpent's tongue I swear, I shall not tell a lie, To you or any you hold dear, Be it you, or I, As long as we can still draw breath, And drift amongst the sky, Till we fall from grace above, And are doomed to die, I swear of this, to you my love, Wherever we may fly, On wings of raven, or of dove, Soaring ever high, We had parted ways before, Of this we were both aware, And yet for all the t

Something Very Special (Revised)

Something Very Special ------ He looked at me with naïve blue eyes. Clear oceans of curiosity that stared up at me. Just like my own. Whenever he did this, he would always make the same request. A simple request, for a story he cherished. A story he loved, that was just as bitter-sweet to tell as it was to hear. The story told of a prince from a far away place, from a time before either he or I were born. Even still, it was not a tale of a world that was young. Even in the prince's lifetime it was ancient. An old world filled with old songs. Its own melody was one of the few things to outlast it. Even with all else silent, that song lived

Something Very Special

Something Very Special ------ "Tell me a story." He said to me. Looking at me with those naïve blue eyes like always. "What's the magic word?" I asked him. He was so young and innocent then, not like now. My little boy, all grown up with the weight of the world on his shoulders, but still smiling, even now. "Tell me a story... please. Oh please tell me one." He replied, remembering his manners after a little prompting. He was still learning back then, though he never really stopped I suppose. "And what story would you like to hear?" I smiled at him and he smiled back. Such a beautiful child with the brightest smile, it matched his e

RE: USS Special Operation - Antarctica Black Op

Resident Evil: USS Escort Operation Alpha ------ Antarctic winds tumbled across Rockfort Island. They whispered between the buildings as if spreading secrets behind its many dark corners. The island had more than enough of them to spare between Umbrella and the Ashfords, letting the wind talk of a few likely wouldn't be a problem. If it became one, Umbrella would most probably find a way to have it killed and/or infected with some viral mutation or wiped off the face of the earth with an explosion. It seemed to be their solution to everything. Thankfully if they were about to blow up the island for some insane reason, the Umbrella Security

Crossroads: Reunion by AnImperfectDream, literature

Literature

Crossroads: Reunion

The scent of blood was fresh on his senses as the hunter followed the whispering trail left in its wake. His prey had proved a trickier mark than he anticipated. Before he was able to land a killing grip around its throat the creature had thrashed wildly enough to throw the hunter from his quarry. Though not before his fangs had left deep gashes and cuts upon its flesh, effectively marking it for death. To hunt without a pack was always risky. In numbers there was strength, but also reliance. Alone, none can make errors that cost you your own victory. When alone, all fault and blame for failure is your own, but with a group, there's too much

Crossroads: Futility

He knew each footfall was an exercise in futility and yet still he ran through the alleys, his hastened footsteps hammering out an echo behind him. "Keep it fed, keep it clean, keep it fed..." The youth recited to himself while he sprinted, each sentence fragment oddly in tune with each thud his feet made. He rounded the corner into another alleyway. 'Place is like a bloody maze.' He thought as another corner presented itself, changing the direction of his escape again. Despite all the sharp turns and diversions he had taken, he could still hear the pounding footsteps of his pursuers. After a few more hasty turns and attempts to ditch his u

An Imperfect Dream

An Imperfect Dream ------ Is there such a thing as an imperfect dream? I believe there is, It's that state of being, when caught on the seam, Not truly awake, but not asleep either, And just as waking is life, So too is sleep death, Who are we that walk along that parapet? Trapped in this state of insignificance, That wander eternity with our heads in the clouds, But our feet placed firmly on the ground, Entrenched in reality but gazing at a place far beyond, Between the wires and the barbs, to the place we cannot touch, Our no-man's land, Where none may stand, For life is a battlefield, And some are caught in a war,

Dig up her bones but leave her soul alone...

0 min read

Update: Alright, things are about ready. To any of you who give a damn, this is where I'll be from now on (pretty much): ~Akataras (https://www.deviantart.com/akataras) Everything over there is set up ready and I should have some fresh deviations for you soon. :> ~ [ Dig up her bones but leave her soul alone, boy with a broken soul, heart with a gaping hole. Dark twisted fantasy turned to reality, kissing death and losing my breath. ] ~ Yes, the title is the song from that trailer. :3 It's also oddly appropriate to my own characters and to something I'll be uploading elsewhere later. Now then, to begin with, look at this, yes, this! :thumb355238833: by :iconuncle-ba

~ ["So where do we go from here, and how to forget and forgive? What's gone is forever lost, now all we can do is live..."] ~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D5alhm36Mo Been a little while since my last update journal, so things felt a little overdue. =P Where to begin? Ah yes, since the beginning of this year, I've been invited to more job interviews in the span of the past two months than in the entirety of the last year or so. Looks like I'm finally doing something right, even if I'm not getting the jobs. One step at a time I suppose. I wouldn't normally mention my love life, usually because I don't really have any update on it. On thi

Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! Buy me stuff!

0 min read

Ho ho ho! Oh sorry, didn't see you there, I was playing spot the ho. Unfortunately I'm in the Vincent section of my pictures folder, so I'm basically cheating. Anywho, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you my dear watchers, all three of you that is. =P I have little to say on the matter for once, I do have a few things planned that may or may not get uploaded today. (No Literature planned unfortunately) Needless to say, the may not seems a little more likely, on one hand because organising the reference images set is a bothersome nuisance, and on the other hand is because the symbol I've designed is an absolute bitch to replicate with
