The burning of Cambridges.
It's hard to tell this story to anyone that wasn't directly involved, you just wouldn't believe me.
Just trust me when I say I didn't see this coming either.
The day started like it normally did, I woke up ate breakfast then went to the fields to work.
Not half the day later I saw the armies of the king riding up I never could've expected what was coming next.
The king was our ruler and he was fair so I had no idea what to think when I saw them riding up.
All I knew was I had a bad feeling about it and I was right.
As soon as the small division of his army rode up to the town, raids began.
They started pulling people from houses even kil

“So, are you two ready?”
They both nod.
“Alright then, let’s see what our hunt will be today then.”
“How do we do that Dad?” Jonathon says with curiosity.
“Well, when we get to the gates I’ll show you two, so lets get walking.”
They shrug and nod,
“Alright Dad” Jonathon says.
They then all file out past the house to the main street, the street still neigh barren, but even still they knew that today was one of the most active days for this small
district in which they lived. As they stood on the dirt and rock road that was referred to as Main Street, for it
There is a difference between right and wrong, between wants and needs. You cannot give into the wants but you cannot rely only on needs. You must find it within yourself to create the happy medium between order and chaos.
I am without limits, or so I thought, I am bulletproof, I cannot be hurt and my actions have little-to-no meaning.
Living your life like this, may be a fast and fun life, but you will be surprised truly how many lives are effected by the slightest action you take.
I have learned this lesson, yet it means nothing. It's like I'm looking at my body and a thought controls my body's actions and I'm simply left with regret in t
Oh sister, won't you stay here? Stay home where our Father protects us, you don't need to fight in their war.
I can see in your eyes, you're already gone, you've sharpened your sword and readied your wings.
Our Lord sent you to die and to be condemned on a world not your own, for a war not your own.
Your armor is on and you are ready to fight for the humans to try and save their world, for reasons unknown.
The Pegasus is ready to carry you down to the land of Murr, where the humans reside, you shouldn't keep him waiting.
You tell me as you mount him, Do not worry my brother, I will be back when this war is over.
If only I could tell you wha
That feeling you'll sometimes get after you learn that you've just disappointed the one person you truly care about.
That feeling is terrible, is it not?
Just imagine that feeling every day for the rest of your forsaken life.
This feeling so strong that it depresses the very fabric of your being, even every breath you draw does not satisfy you as it once used too.
I cannot take anymore, I find myself on my knees again, begging for some forgiveness.
Not from any God that you or someone else may believe in.
No, forgiveness in my own mind, for only it knows my true sins.
It hides its intentions from me, until it realizes I'm happy.

Legacy - The Beginning C1
An image of a mother holding her child, with her husband beside her. Then as suddenly as it came, it burned away, another image, a burned farm, burned crops, waves of fire. The mother, in flames, still cradling her son, puts him away from the chaos, only to have the child be taken away by others, tall and twisted faces, bring him in and darkness consumes him.
"Jonathon!"
He hears, and snaps to consciousness.
"Jonathon?!"
He hears again, to realize it's his mother.
"Coming mother!"
He replies.
He looks around his room, and smiles as he realizes he's home safe, sweating horribly, but safe. Just to make sure though, he examines his

He left his bed, which sat in the center of a large circular black room, in the top floor of a tall tower. The wise, aged man snapped his fingers and via his powerful magic he was changed into dress, which showed he was of much wealth, and power.

I have never been a master of words
Never will be so I dont pretend
I can't string up majestic phrases
Like galaxies displayed in her eyes
Or simple pretty as a rose
Instead I trample around with harsh words
Cuss them out to find some meaning
Drive heavy ugly truth behind all them
Because I can
And it is simple as that
Cause if I can't invoke the power of words
I might as well use what I can
Even if I crush delicate gossamer wings
To make words ugly
I trash out when I see the world in pieces
See the varying shades between oil slick and lack of contentment
Feel the harshness of phrases and taste metallic redness in my mouth
I cry out the fru
I have been in here
for so long
This empty cell has been
my favorite song
Perhaps a peek at the window
Your Highness
To heal my state
of delicate madness
I have been in this darkness
longer than time
Been beaten badly
that blood is my wine
Perhaps a wipe of a soft cotton
Your Highness
To erase my statue of
bloody boldness
Why have I been degraded
Your Highness?
What did I do to be stooped so low
Your Highness?
I have been misjudged
for forever
Have been understood
like never
Perhaps a pity from your heart
Your Highness
To know the truth behind their
words of nonsense

Dark gray clouds thundered across the sky, lightning lighting them up from the inside. A sharp wind pelted my face with stinging rain as I ran, searching for shelter. I swore, cursing Gabriel August. That pompous souled twit who had left me out here in the first place. Even now I could see his grinning Jack o' Lantern face. I was sure that he wanted to torture me.
I stumbled over a branch discarded in the road, barely managing to keep my feet. The rain was getting worse, much worse. I moved off the open road and into the trees, hoping they would provide more shelter.
It took me a little while to figure out that I had stopped mo
I always failed, never knew what to do.
All I knew was that I fell in love with you.
I never wanted to quit.
Never thought I deserved you, not even a bit.
Yet you stayed by me like I was even worth a shit.
I didn't mean for things to die.
But you gave up and failed to try.
I couldn't be the only one not giving in.
If I did that then surely no-one would win.
I don't want to fight for one more minute.
But If you show me I am right then I refuse to quit it.
You are the one who has gotten to me.
Changed me for the world to see.
Though time has gone and things have changed,
the emptiness still remains.
Just please open your eyes and s

Firefly - Chapter Three
She had three days to travel fifty miles west, in the middle of an occupation by the most powerful force that had been seen in the history of Esteth, and yet she consumed nearly twenty four hours in making her decision. If she traveled to Estr, there would be no turning back. Likewise with the conscription officers employed by the Dark Mages: once she made her decision, for either side, or remained in neutrality, then she would dedicate herself to that choice until she saw the purpose completed, or she was incapacitated entirely. People who gave up halfway through a task irked her far more than incapable fools, and she refused to be one of th

I am a 19 year old soon to be college student, and I am about 6' tall, about 160~ pounds. I enjoy writing and reading creative poems, short stories and full books. I made this account to try and share my work with others to see who else would enjoy what I've written.

You don't have to be my friend if you don't want to be, you don't even have to see me if you don't want too.
(Just tell me)
If you have a problem with what I do, you don't have to like it you don't have to agree with it.
(Just tell me)
You make your own decisions, if they involve me that's great, if not, that's alright also.
(Just tell me)
There's no reason why you should have to feel forced to see someone, especially when you're friends, next time, just tell them.
Don't lie to me, just to try and 'protect' me from the truth, I like the pain of it sometimes. The pain of lies I cannot stand.
When someone is lied to, they're trapped,
When all of your friends have left and your just sitting there realizing just how inconsequential you really are you can't help but to feel forgotten.
I just went through a rough break up, I feel like my friends are leaving me and I'm just sitting here wondering how I got here?
How did I manage to fall exactly to where I've never wanted to be but yet, all too familiar with.
Alone, I sit here behind my keyboard, with no one to talk with and despite all my wanting, words will not come to me to write, I struggle to write these very words.
Redemption song plays as I type to soothe my now panicking mind, I can't help but feel discarded.
