What is she supposed to do when the whole world is against her? Everything she touches shatters into a million tiny shards, until it resembles the pathetic pieces of her broken heart and withers away to nothing. She'll watch the dust float away on the merciful wind, until it is just an image forever etched into her mind. She'll be satisfied in knowing that it, at least, will finally be safe from this hell on Earth.

Tears roll down her cheeks and he kisses them away lovingly; she flinches warily from his touch. He takes her chin between his fingers, turning her face up to his own. Don't look at me. Her beautiful blue eyes swim. He is confused. Why not, darling? A sob wracks her body, along with a fresh wave of tears. I'm ugly. His eyes fill with loving concern. You're not ugly. He leans closer - a soft gasp escapes her - their faces inches apart. You're beautiful, baby. He kisses her soft lips, and for the first time in her life she feels utterly beautiful.

The Traitorous Greybacks

The Traitorous Greybacks: Shunned amongst the Lycan tribes; The great betrayers of faith. We bear the mark of our sinful past This ancient scar of hate. We wear it proudly upon our backs The fur that's ashen grey. The sign that we have sold our kin To live another day... We werewolves live as tyrant beings; Immortal as we please... But we alone are forced to bear This fetid filthy disease. It eats away at flesh and bone Until all that's left is sludge. Lost alone in horrid pain; Through empty days we trudge. But we have learnt a secret way To stop our bitter end... As long as we can steal a pup From our blessed neighbour's

Eternal Life [Remix]

Eternal Life [Remix]: We are creatures of mortality Born to live and die. Yet there are those amongst us Who resent the last goodbye. They see it as an end to things; The call of colder waves. They have a fear of being trapped; Locked away in graves. But deep beneath the buried earth No one hears you scream. Pound and smash against the coffin; End this horrid dream! Kiss the flower of the reaper Bear his blissful touch... Soon you will be wisked away Warm within his clutch! But now you know the dreaded fear Of why we cannot die. We hear the reaper calling us That we cannot lie. In both our dreams and waking nights; We se

Song of the Sea Siren

Song of the Sea Sirens: The roaring wind was quick to die As the fog began to form. Silence soon surrounded us Like a calm before the storm. In the darkest distance; against the light I could hear a haunting melody. It seemed to sound like a Siren's call Coming from across the sea. Immediately my crew reacted As we dove beneath the deck. Wool and wax to plug the ears And ropes to tie me back. As a Captain of this Pirate ship My duty was plain to see. Tied to the mast as a sacrifice Was where I soon would be. For one alone must endure the call Else the Siren would not sing. This had been a long tradition Since the time of t

Vida Nova: Prologue

I got a second chance at life. Now, you may be wondering what I mean by a second chance. No one ever gets a second chance. Life just doesn't work that way. For some strange reason, maybe it was luck or maybe it was fate, but I got another chance. My name is Viridi Lumen and my story starts with a simple mirror. I sat quietly at my seat, head down, my nose deep in a book. I was always that one quiet kid in class. You know, the one everyone tends to walk around because they just can't be bothered to attempt to start a conversation. I didn't have many distinguishing characteristics. Straight, shoulder-length, dark brown hair, always in a pony

I submitted a piece 4 days ago, is there any idea when I'll know if it's accepted?

All depends on who votes within the group.I definitely vote on anything I see being submitted.But the way DA sets up voting,I can only do one vote.If I could vote twice on a submission,I would.All gallery folders are set to take 2 votes per submission so as to not flood the group with too much at one time.So if it got one vote already,then it'll take one more to get it into the group.If not enough people are voting on submissions,then that's a problem.One I can definitely handle.When I get some free time,I may attempt a journal entry to ask people to begin voting more often.If all else fails,I'll drop the votes to just one only.In the meantime,if your submission expires for any reason,send me the link to it and I'll submit it myself.Then all you'd need to do is say yes to the request.Hope this helps to explain things better.Keep me posted if you encounter any further problems or issues alright?Ttys my friend.

Ah, it got accepted shortly after you replied.

I'm curious, would you like some help here?

Cool.I'm truly glad it made it.

Actually,yes I would.I haven't had a lot of time to truly do much with this group.My art group just about consumes me.

LOL I've been needing active admins for some time.The main things I would insist on is that two votes would be the minimum amount of votes,nothing gets declined and if something does it would be due to getting submitted to the wrong folder within the gallery and the person told as to why so they can re-submit it correctly,no messing with the settings unless something needed to be fixed which I would take care of myself,blogs/journals would be fine for admins to do,and if an admin wanted to host a contest then that would be more than okay too,and if issues came up between anyone then I would like to handle it myself.Aside from these things,I definitely would like someone to help me run it.If you're interested,so am I.I have 3 contributors but no co-founders.My goddaughter used to run it and was the one who made the group.But she lost interest and left without warning.I had to literally beg DA admins to let me have it.They did and I was able to keep it alive.So think it over and let me know alright?Have a great rest of the week my friend,ttys okay?
