Prologue: "Pokemon Fever(dream)"
The void is darkness and light. The void is life and death. The void is everything and nothing.
And then the void becomes a single presence, reaching out… I am aware, and the presence knows me.
The presence is an old man. An old man, who is… sleeping?
He awakens with a start, and asks what time it is.
“It’s 4 in the morning,” I reply, somehow knowing this was right.
Memories flood my consciousness, feelings of a life, an identity. Suddenly I can see, the world in front of me, the darkened room we stand in, the old man before me.
Our eyes meet.
“Are you a boy, or a gi
the sky has grown
caliginous-
the moon is out of sight
the stars are tucked
in the cosmos' blanket-
enigmas of
the night
and as I roam
through the universe,
I seek safety forevermore
a crinkle-eyed smile
pierces the darkness-
I'm so glad that it's yours.
Mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all? Ha, that’s not even a question.” Adeline smirked as she gazed into the mirror on her vanity. She truly was a beauty. Silky golden blond hair flowed over her shoulders, framing her unblemished face and her naturally full lips. She had a tall, yet thin and graceful body. All the boys at her school were in love with her, and all the girls were jealous of her. There was no doubt in her mind that she was truly the ‘fairest of them all.’
Finally having satisfied herself with a long look in the mirror, she began to turn away.

At a young age, in fact when he was only 6 years old, Evan was diagnosed as being "emotionally unstable". He would frequently have temper tantrums and seemingly random mood swings and Evan's home life was believed to be a large factor. His parents fought and argued on a regular basis, leaving his older brother Will to try and make him feel better.
Nobody worried too much, in the belief he would simply grow out of it. This was not to be the case as, although he matured, he still quite often suffered from tantrums and mood swings.
Evan grew up in a small village, he attended the local schools and did not leave home to go to college when he tu

Ch 7--What happened Before
Be wary then; best safety lies in fear.

English playwright and poet
(1564 – 1616)
From the Journal Entry of Kes Allyntahl
The house I had lived in was one of the oldest in town, and I knew this because despite new ownership, the locals still referred to the place after the original occupants--the Herons.
Heron Manor, as it was called, looked more like a frog than a heron. The house had none of the angular grace and spiky dignity

Eyes of the Seer - Prologue
I spent the final days of my life alone, even though I did not know I was dying. Around me, the world seemed to be shifting. A cloud of darkness shrouded what had once been an ordinary existence and ripped from me everything I had known. For long hours, I would stand at work and stare at the people who passed me by as though attempting to figure out what changed and when. Little did I know what waited for me around the corner.
Granted, the final days leading up to the earliest hours of January 20, 1983 are somewhat of a blur to me. It might have been the enchantment I was under, or the haze of realizing I lived on borrowed time without knowi

counted the freckles you don't want to believe you have
as you went on about
chemistry,
and i wondered if you felt we had any.
i can always tell when you're sad
because you'll take blame
and wrap it around your throat
like ropes
and tell me stupid things,
like how everything
is your fault,
like my insomnia,
when really all our two am conversations do for me
is prevent overthinking
//a distraction, you're my favorite distraction, and really i'd be up anyway//
i relish in the recognition that sparks in your eyes
when they meet mine

OMG it's DONE
What's done?! IT'S DONE. I have spent days and days and days collecting a list of all the lit groups I could find (1901 groups to be exact!), then I went through each one and moved all the groups that had no discernible activity in the past 12 months to the Inactive Groups list (see links above). Then with the groups remaining (568 groups :faint:) I looked for evidence of things peopl
