Chapter VIII Max took an arrow out the quiver strapped to his back and looked at it carefully, weighing it on his hand. After making sure that the arrow was balanced, he put it back into the quiver and stared at the horizon, tapping over a battlement. As usual, guard duty on the city walls was a boring routine, but thanks to the "rebels" the shifts were becoming harder; At the start Max just shrugged it off, sure that soon it would all change, but he had started to question that belief about a week before, when it was decided that they would spill blood. Max looked up at the sky and watched a few swallows chasing each other in the sky for a

Growing Up

The sun is shining down on us today The wind is blowing through our hair And I look at you, and I think We made the right choice Summer isn't here yet, but It is approaching fast And here we are, asking ourselves when it will come, When we will be free, and then I remember we already are We were wasting our time Praying for our ordeals to end Not realizing we could stop them any time But now we're here, and I think Every day is a summer day Every night is New Year's Eve Every morning is a new adventure So, we can't waste them We have little time left The clock is ticking, it wants to make us responsible It wants us to grow up, to take car

Chapter VII The grey mule slowly pulled the wooden cart behind itself, following the stone road towards the city. The sun shined on the walls and the blue flags, emphasising the slight golden trims. Akaios looked up at the town he now lived in and felt an odd sense of nostalgia. He had missed that town, maybe even more than he had missed his actual home. I'm changing, he thought to himself. I feel more at home in the barracks than in the countryside... "Hoy! Are you ok, Akaios?" The boy stopped thinking for a moment and turned to his right. Next to him was Marcus, Bernard's youngest son, who had agreed to accompany him back home, and sell s

Time to Leave

Thunder struck above their heads, as they walked down the path forced on them by the sequence of tombstones. Rain flooded the cemetery, often peaceful and basked in a warm light - but not today. Today, those still living shouldn't have come to visit the departed. Today, no fresh flowers should have been placed on the graves, no candles lit to pray for the people who left this world. Yet, somebody came anyways: A man and a woman, but not to pay respect to the dead. When the first drops of water hit the ground, the couple took cover inside an ancient, isolated chapel; the young man whispered something about not liking the idea of being so close

Chapter VI Roughly two dozens of men waited in the marble-tiled antechamber. The room was lit by three golden chandeliers, and was about twenty one yards in width and forty three in lenght. Some of the nobles sat on the richly adorned wooden benches in silence, other distractedly looked at the tapestries depicting processions of soldiers and nobles, coronations of kings and queens and legendary battles, and some would group together and start talking. Every once in a while, the two guards would open the large ebony doors and one of the noblemen would exit from the throne room, soon followed by a page who called out a name and waited for its

Satan's Curse: A Joke by AMBM-DA, literature

Literature

Satan's Curse: A Joke

In the beginning there were three kingdoms. In the sky was Heaven, the realm of God and his angels. From its center came all that was good and light in the world, spreading the glory of God into the void that came before. Chaos became order, darkness became light, and cold became warm. Within it all was perfect, and all was well. But far below lay Hell, the realm of Satan. Beneath the shadow of the earth the darkness and evil that had once filled the universe remained. Chaos and cruelty ruled, and all was foul. Between the two lay the kingdom of man. This was the kingdom of choice, where God and Satan would gamble to win the souls of mankind,

Parable of the Lantern

There were once two men seeking wisdom under the tutelage of an ancient master. He brought them into a dark room. In the center were two metal lamps, each containing a flickering flame. "Grip your lamp by the base, endure the heat, and gaze into the flame," instructed the master. "If your faith wavers and you look away, or your strength fails and you let go, even for an instant, you will be lost. You will never be wise. But gaze at the flame and, if you prevail, you will know truth." And the master left them. The two men gripped their lamps, and gazed into the light. Soon the lamps grew hot from the fire within, and began to bu

Beating the Block

brought to you by Super Editor Please read this list slowly and carefully, considering not only the individual prompt but ways to bend it. You'll get much more out of it. (Thinking about specific characters and/or listening to your book's theme music while you read may help.) This list is designed mainly to give ideas for characterization-related scenes. If your issue is more along the lines of "I don't know where I'm going," then this may not be as helpful. While you can read this anyway, meditation and logic are usually the things that work best. If this gives you an idea, write it down! It's a long list, so you don't want to risk forget

Freewriting (+ Prompts)

You're staring at a blank page with no ideas about where to go or how you're going to get there. The image is so familiar, it's cliché. Yet no matter how many times we write about it, sing about it, or think we've gotten rid of it, we always end up returning to that sheet of paper as empty as our minds. If you're mid-story and wondering where to go, this guide is unlikely to help you. You may want to try "Beating the Block," which lists a few scene ideas. If you're a visual artist and came here by mistake, try the "Art Block Banisher." However, if you just want to put something—anything—on that piece of paper, this guide

My Bio

Heyo, everybody! My name is David, and I am here to take my first steps in the world of online art, visual or not.

My main works will be pieces of literature, but I may upload some drawings from time to time to go with the stories, or even some sketches I do just for fun. Only time will tell!

I consider myself an hobbysit because I've never received any particular education in the ways of art, and I'm learning much of the things by myself.

I hope you'll enjoy my works, I'll sure enjoy your enjoyment! (Confused? me too!)

Also, I'd love to get feedback on my works. Comments telling me I did great are good, but knowing what was so great and what wasn't are better.

Making a videogame!

0 min read

I LIVE!! Ahem, yeah, I haven't croaked up yet. Anyways, I'm writing this journal to inform you that I've decided to embark on the arduous quest of making a videogame! An RPG, even! Why, an Open-World RPG! Turn-based (maybe)! However, I do not know anything about coding. Or making sprites. Or composing music (which is actually very important. Try imagining playing your videogame on mute mode from beginning to end and you'll understand what I mean). SO, I'm looking for help in these sections! I even made a thread about it, but nobody answered so far. Still, if you want some more information, go check it out Currently, two friends have agreed

Alive and Kickin'

Heyo, guys and girls! (Still on the hunt for a good greeting to put at the start of my journals) So, as those of you who watch my forum threads (Does anybody do that? I think yes, I sure do) may know, I am working on an RPG of sorts. It's more of a system, like DnD or Pathfinder: I make the rules, maybe drop you a few ideas, but in the end it's up to you and your group of friends to make an awesome adventure out of it! I really like the old "Pen and Paper" RPGs because they let players do REALLY anything they can think of: want to kill the mayor because he's annoying you with all his petty requests to save his stupid village? Well, you can
