Polluxian-Descent
Chapter 1 The Devil Inside "Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say... Is this along the same lines as: If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? No! they are completely different but let's take a look at this for a moment. Sound cannot not travel in a vacuum, but that doesn't mean the person who screams can't briefly hear him or herself as the last molecules of breath are forced out of their lungs. Sadly, we may never know because that person wouldn't survive to tell the tale. All we would see is every drop of blood vacate their pores right before their body bloats and expands twice its size. They will then freeze to death, becoming a floating piece of space junk for all eternity... Similarly, if no one is there to hear a tree fall, does it make a sound? Of course it makes a sound, but this also can't be proven. How can you prove a sound was made if no one was there to hear it? It seems that parts of life depend solely on our observations in order for something to be perceived as real. Don't get me started on that!"

Velocity
If you board the wrong train, it is no use running along the corridor in the other direction. -Dietrich Bonhoeffer *** Knowledge is one of those words that can aid in the development of the mind and enhance confidence, or it can disrupt understanding and destroy the confidence you've built of your own truth. Our tendency to abruptly react to perceivable images can often lead to undesirable results. Just like the time when Shelly found herself on a speeding train...

Gifts for the Maynkar
Chapter 1 A search for survival There weren't always dragons in the valley — A prophetic phrase that lingers in the defeated minds of bold material seekers who improperly came to power from stolen fears. This tale of justice is complex in its origin but begs to be told. The consequence behind the Dragon's judgment is no longer a painted myth...

The Eternal Flame of Ockris
Prologue There weren't always dragons in the valley. Legend states that in the year 1329 the first dragon ever was created by Brendlich, an Alchemist Wizard from the chambers of Gladistine who was hell-bent on becoming a maker. In a large obsidian cauldron, they say he combined the eyes and tail of a lizard with the heart and talons of a falcon. He then added the wings of a vampirous bat and mixed it all with the blood of 3 orcs. Lastly, he carefully sprinkled the brew with a few smidgeons of faerie dust — he would churn it for many hours. After the mixture began to bubble and steam, he conjured the power of the Master Spirits for that necessary vital spark required to initiate life. In seven days, the resulting creation emerged from the thick, simmering, reddish black and putrefied liquid. Unique in its design, wicked in its appearance, it slithered its way out on to the cold, damp and mossy brick floor. Its birth cry was more piercing than that of a thousand Coracks screeching at the same time; it would be heard several miles away in every direction. Brendlich called the savage animal Draco, lord of the dark skies. The Master Spirits gifted upon it the hellacious power of fire; efficient and volatile, it could burn, scorch, melt or vaporize anything within a single breath. In just two years, the Draco grew an astonishing twenty times its original size of a Brangus bull. As one Draco became two and two became three, a race of them were called Dragons. Many names have been given to the different breeds that existed but Dragons they are and Dragons they remain. They continue the honor of being the most feared creatures in all of Xanthapy.

Pranked!
Ahh, April Fool's Day... A time for us to get clever with our devious side and freak some people out. Whatever you end up doing to just remember there is a difference between fun and cruelty. April fool's pranks are supposed to end in laughter not someone seeking revenge. For example, putting mustard in someone's shampoo bottle is funny. Putting a fake spider in someone's refrigerator is also funny, just make sure they are not deathly afraid of spiders, you don't want them to go into cardiac arrest. Letting the air out of someone's tire(s) is cruel, inconvenient and not funny at all. They will obviously be late to something and may have to call a tow truck which will cost them $$$. Putting a mouse trap in their mailbox is also cruel. Pranks aren't supposed to be painful. So put on your thinking cap before you make or break someone's day.

Stephen's Challenge.
My sentiment is shared with countless others when I declare how shameful it is that some cultures still embrace the curtailment of civil liberties upon those who they supposedly govern and protect. I don't see the value at all in this type of practice. Yes, every culture needs rules and regulations for its people to follow. This is rightly just. It's when the rules and regulations become inhumane and downright wrong that we truly see the motivation of that government. It forces people of such cultures to become rebels. They risk their own lives to speak out against the tyrannical hold of their government's regime. The hierarchy are not bound by these rules. They commit any unjust crime they want and get away with it. How can this be a fair practice? Well, the concept of fairness does not exist in such places. It's primitive to say the least. While some countries realized this ages ago, others continue with their archaic practices. How can this ever be changed? The sad truth is that this change may have to be a drastic one. When you have enough people in any given culture reach a breaking point and become fed up with their way of life, they will join forces to resist and revolt. Governments have been overthrown in the past. I'm not sure how successful all the attempts were. What I am sure of is that their rebellious efforts were justified.
