Lectori Salutem

chapter 4 is up^^

Haha. I'm barely on this any more and if I am it's just to look at some things. I've been slightly busy with finishing off classes for the year and then on holidays soon.

I block the shot but the force throws me off balance, I fall off the side of the tower. As I fall I unload the last three shots from my gun, the firey birds appear but I have them circle the top, waiting for my command. I load another set of bullets into the barrel, silver in color, then look down to the quickly approaching earth. I stab my sword into the metal but it only cuts it's down as I fall. Finally it hits a thick beam close to the bottom but my sword breaks as I land hard on my side.

"You're my past, I'm your past." I say as I cough up more blood and stand. I pull the secret blade I had inder my clothes on my back and the blade on it turns dark as I approach the base of the tower "I just want to forget. Forget the pain, forget the loss, forget the dreams I once had. IS THAT SO WRONG!?" I yell up at her.

I stab my blade into the ground and a large shadow sprouts from it and grabs the four bases of the tower. The birds at the top give a loud scream as they turn and hit the top of the tower where Lecty still is. The moment they impact I use all the strength I have and use the shadows to crush the base. I stare onward as the Eiffel Tower comes crashing down, being reduced to a pile of old rusted metal.

"Peace . . in the next life." I say, if Lecty's still alive she should deffinently hear me "That'd be nice, but . . . even this hell we're putting each other through. It's pretty enjoyable, spending it with you." I raise my gun to the sky and fire it into the air. As it reaches the clouds the force clears them away and the bullet changes into a long silver dragon. As it comes back down I fire the other five shots and the dragon grows brighter and larger with each one that joins with it. "I know I don't have a right to ask Lecty, but could you just promise me one thing. I want to know you, I want to find you in the next life. I want to know the you that I never could. So . . . would you try to find me too?"

The dragon hits the pile of old metal. The explosion sends the debris everywhere and blows me back. I land ontop of a building and look around. If Lecty's still alive, chances were getting worse and worse that I wasn't gonna live through this fight.

(Eh, so long as you're safe, I'm happy. And when you post on our fight I get really happy. Wow, the last one was really epic, you have the creativity of Shakespeare when it comes to what to say. It's kinda like we're Cloud and Sepheroth, I call dibs on being Cloud.)

I block as Lecty's sword comes at me but the wind blades began cutting my arm and chest. I fall back and with her momentum she falls with me, I lift her up with my feet and kick her over me then stand up.

"You wonder how things would have turned out if you had never come into her life. Well for one thing she wouldn't be lying a hospital bed right now." I said preping myself "I don't hate you for what happened Lecty, but now I know that as long as you live the other people I care about will be drawn into our fight. And the same is probably true about me." I reach in my pocket and pull out a solid silver pocket watch "I'm sorry about your father, but what happened was his choice."

I slash my sword and the darkness flies off and cuts through the air at her. She dodges and a large section is cut off and falls off. I feel her come up from behind and block again, the wind blades start cutting. I hold her in place and point my gun, this close I would deffinently feel some of it, and pull the trigger. A firey explosion rocks the tower and I'm sent flying back into the railing.

"I am bored of the past." I say coughing up a little blood "But I can't escape it either, niether can you. But I wonder sometimes, is there any chance, any way, that if we had met differently we wouldn't be here trying to kill each other right now." I stab my sword into the ground and send more claws at Lecty, as they search I fire into the sky. Another fire bird appears and flies high before falling back and letting gravity carry it as it aimed strait for her.

(Don't hate yourself on my account. I was just worried about you. When I don't hear from any of you in a week or two I start worrying something bad happened. This doesn't matter as much as your safety.)

Yo. How's things been for you?

I back up and try to dodge her attacks, but a whip is a tricky weapon. The blade at it's end cuts my left arm, my cheek, just above my right knee, and nearly pierces my heart. As it comes around again I grab the chain and it snakes around my hand, the blade digs into my wrist but I hold it firm.

"You think I"m cute?" I ask with a smirk, suddenly I dart forward and bind Lecty with her own chain. I hold her from behind so she can't break out "There's a bad kind of sexual tension?" I ask before pulling on the chain and spinning her around to kick her in the stomach, sending her back a few feet.

I let go of the chain and shake my hand, sending drops of blood over the wall and floor. I reach in my pocket and pull out a set of red glass bullets, fire seemed to move inside them. I load them into my gun and hold it in my left hand, I grip my sword tightly in my right. The etchings on the gun begin to light up and burn red, the blade of my sword turns black and seems to suck the color out of the surrounding air.

"Regardless of what we feel for each other Lecty, this relationship is at it's end. I guess this is what normal people call a break-up." I point my sword at her "It's too bad though, my sister really liked you. I guess that's why she gave you her necklace." I look at the medalion around Lecty's neck "But enough with the warm up, let's get serious."

I stab my sword into the wall and a shadow moves from it. It stretches along the wall then turns and travels along the floor until it reaches Lecty. Before she can move black claws reach up and grab her, holding her in place. I point my gun at her and fire, halfway to her the bullet changes into a firey bird and hones in on it's prey.

( Well how about we give our fight some history. I already did some of that and I guess we'll figure something out between the two of us. You don't need to apologize, so long as we still fight I'm happy. I look forward to the times when you can get on.)

It went so-so but oh well. I did the 400 words and that's fine. I have a 500 page book to read by Friday, 1500 - 2000 word essay and a 200 word essay plan due this week. After this week I'm on a one weak break which will be fun.

Not too sure about giving up on the novel. It's not really inspiration but more perseverance than anything else. I'll probably end up doing both or back to one again. Who knows.

I have a tutorial presentation for class tomorrow and I haven't even started. It's only 400 words but it's so broad that I have to summarise what I want to present. The last time I ever saw anyone from my high school was last Friday night for my friend's 21st Birthday.

Seeing as how I have been suffering from lack of motivation and writer's block (even though it can be laziness as well), I gave up on the novel I was writing at the moment. I started looking at a previous work I wrote and just been reading it. It's only 10 pages but it's about a human who is a writer and has writer's block (laziness). He ends up going to Hell with The Devil and becomes a muse/memoir writing to The Devil. At the same time though he begins to go on a strange personal journey consisting of love, drinking, music, the misfortunes he's had in his life and basically a sea change to his life.

They're always going to be a pain in the ass, haha. Eugh, all those sort of questions sound crappy. How's the weekends been going for yourself?

I haven't been writing much for the last month and I should've had a lot more written but oh well. Haha.

Pfft. 250 - 400 is meant to build a mind set and also get it working. Doesn't have to be interesting or not. It's there to help with their writing and creative thinking. Those tests sound like a pain in the ass.

The result is always the good plus but it's whether I am enjoying it. Not to mention if I'm writing or not. Haha.
