The Frozen Flame
August 28, 2009
Here’s my newest story, or the beggining of it at least
The Frozen Flame
Valix flinched as his Frozen Flame necklace burned against his chest for the third time that week. He had gone to the Council of Monks, but they had refused his plea for help. Other students in his Core have been talking about their Frozen Flames heating up to, but none of them Valix knew very well. A few days ago he had heard his two of his Educators, Shade and Suki, talking as he was going to one of his classes.
“What are we to do, Shade? The students Frozen Flames have been heating up. What if the heating gets so intense that their chests begin to burn? What if they begin to talk about it, and begin to make rumors of them being punished or something? What if—“
“Stop rambling, Suki. There is only one explanation. They’ve been Chosen. The Eracor Brothers read the prophecy, don’t doubt them. They can sense the tablet’s thoughts. It knows what has been written on it by the Ancients. The Eracor know all, you know better than to doubt them. Don’t get yourself thrown into the Outside.” Shade said.
“Yes, I know. I’m sorry for doubting the Brothers. It’s just so… stressful, having students in my Core being Chosen. The only reason could be war,” She said that word with such a tone that even Shade flinched. “People in other Core are still rebuilding from the last war. A war with the Outside could destroy the Mathis Core. Everyone who was there remembers it. It was a hard time, Shade, A really hard time to live in.”
At that point he walked away, not wanting to hear anymore. He wasn’t there during the last war; all he knew was that his parents were killed in its final battle.
He glanced at his watch and realized it was noon, only a few hours until Combat class. He walked to his bookshelf and pulled a random Manga from its shelves. He looked at the cover and saw that it was Ranma ½, one of his favorites. He read that and several other Manga until his Combat class.
The combat room looked just as you would imagine it, swords, knives, and small daggers hanging in racks, throwing stars in small pouches under the benches around the room, practice weapons in bins at each corner, and blood-red walls to finish the room off. There was even some Outside weapons like Chakrams, Small, top-like blades that when spun with a ripcord and launcher correctly can slice directly through its target. It was Valix’s weapon of choice. As Valix was practicing a simple technique, The Puppets Master, he felt that the room was a bit draftier than normal. He looked around and saw nothing, but a small movement caught his eye. He looked directly at it and saw it was just the Educator or one of the students in the next room, there silhouette shining through the partitions of the combat rooms walls.
As the combat teacher, Hyax, collected there practice swords from the students, he asked
Valix, “Has there been anything odd happening lately, Valix? You seem to be heating up a bit lately.”
In a slightly quieter-voice-than-normal he told his teacher “Yes sir. Actually there has. Can I talk to you when all the other students leave?”
The other students left him and Hyax alone in the classroom. He began by telling his teacher, “Let’s cut right to the chase, my Frozen Flame has been heating up, sometimes glowing. It’s happened three times this week.”
The eye-patched, tough looking, spiky haired man looked at Valix oddly. He said “Very odd, other students have been complaining of the same problem. Let me see your necklace.” Valix pulled out the silver sphere on his necklace that had been on his neck since he was born. There looked to be a stationary flame inside the shiny sphere. Hyax pulled out a magnifying glass and looked into the shining thing in his hands. He looked like a doctor who had just discovered a new disease. “My boy, you must bring this to Suki immediately. Tell her to look very closely into your Frozen Flame. Go, NOW!”
He ran to the Core headmaster’s office and showed Suki his Frozen Flame. “Oh… my… Boy, has anything odd been happening lately? Anything that you’ve heard other students talking about?”
Valix said, “Yes, Ma’am. My Frozen Flame has been heating up, three times this week. I heard you and Shade talking the other day, you said that students whose Frozen Flame’s have been heating up have been Chosen. Have I… been Chosen?”
She looked at him, anger in her eyes for a millisecond, but then guilt. “I’m afraid so, Valix. Follow me.” She brought him into a room about twice the size of his quarters. “This is the room where we keep students whom have been Chosen. That is Midas.” She pointed to a boy who looked like he was trying hard not to touch any of the walls. “That is Hyka.” She gestured toward a girl about as old as Valix. She was talking to another girl who looked like she was a bit older. “And that girl next to her is Jaek. That one over there is Kyhal.” She pointed to a boy in one of the beds. He looked fairly muscular. “The last person is Shade, but he is teaching history classes.”
So Shade’s been chosen, Valix thought. I thought only students could be chosen…
“So I stay here? No classes or any of that?” He said this time. “Cool.”
The next few days pass without much activity. Valix had befriended everyone, except for that one boy. Midas. He looked towards him. It seemed he was always in that one corner. He walked toward Midas and said “Hello, I’m Valix. I’m the newest Chosen.” He held out his hand for him to shake.
“Don’t touch me, you’ll turn to gold.” He turned away from him, keeping steadily on his tall golden stool.
Valix went back to the others. In a deep voice Kyhal said “Yeah, we don’t normally interact much with him. Apparently, he turned that stool to gold.” He said. That’s why he’s named Midas. Ever heard that legend?” Valix shook his head. “It’s about a greedy king named Midas; he wishes that he could turn everything that he touched to gold. A god named Dionysus gave him that wish, and then he touched his daughter… and well that’s really the end of the story.” He shrugged his shoulders.
“Well, that’s kind of horrible… I wonder who thought that that legend up. I’m going to go into the Combat room. I have the feeling that there is going to be something big happening soon, like something we have to fight for.” He hadn’t told them about Shade and Suki’s conversation. “Anyone want to spar?”
“Sure, I’ll come.” Jaek said. “Practice Chakrums?”
“Valix replied, “Sure, whatever.” He beamed. “I’m going to win though!”
They both ran to the small room at the corner, and picked up the foam rings and rip cords. “3-point match. You can go anywhere in the room. A hit to the torso or head is one point. Arms or legs are half a point. Do you agree?” Valix said.
She smiled and prepared her weapon. “Yes.”
“Very well, start”
With a swift flick of her wrist the foam disc whizzed past Valix’s head. He chuckled, and let loose the circle… Suddenly, everything seemed to slow down. He was standing and moving at normal speed while everything else in the room looked as if it was barely moving. He walked close to his Chakrum and aligned it correctly, to hit Jaek’s head, and moved back to the spot he was at before. He thought about her bewildered look at how his weapon had looked like it was going to miss but suddenly was aiming directly at its target again. Everything came back to him like a baseball bat hitting his face. There was a rush of air and suddenly Jaek was on the ground. She jumped to her feet and her face was just as he hoped it would look like.
“How-, where-, what?” she said. “Don’t tell me you’ve developed powers like Midas. You did, didn’t you?!” She was grinning. “What is your power? Oh please tell me!!” She said eagerly. “Never mind, I know. We have to tell the guys!” She was out of the room like a bullet from a gun.
Valix took the cord out of the launching mechanism on the foam and followed her into the main room of the separate branch of the Core. Jaek was talking nearly to fast for all of the other Chosen to follow. She was telling them about how he had generated his Flame Powers, obviously. He thought. That’s what I’ll call them.
“He moved his Chakrum by stopping time to hit my face. It was amazing! Even though the only reason he did it was to get a sparring point.” She scowled at him. “He’s generated powers just like Midas!”
Midas was still sitting on that one stool… Always on the stool. Midas was looking at them. Valix knew he had heard Jaek.
Valix looked away from Midas and looked at Jaek. She was gasping since she had talked so fast. Valix chuckled, and Jaek looked at him oddly. “Your gasping because you talked so fast.”

the gaurdian of dragons
August 25, 2008
koromo sat on the hill of which his first dragon had left him. he held in his hand the
meddallion kaiba had given him. it was the sign of the imperial dragon keeper. he
wondered what the stone was that kaiba gave him. thousands of questions of the
gifts he’d been given by the old, wise dragon, flooded his head. koromo took out the
many-colored stone suddenly the stone’s colors began to shift, he suddenly saw
himself being taken inside his mind, just like how when kaiba communicated with him.
he heard it talking to him.
it said “put the rainbow to your name.”
koromo wondered what it ment. he would sleep on it. ever since kaiba left
him he hadn’t been able to sleep, knowing for letting a imperial dragon escape, the
toll was death. the next morning, hegot up and went hunting for food. all he could
find was a few mushrooms and a bunch of pine needles and berries for his tea. as he
eating he remembered that the medallion had some characters written on it, maybe it
was his name written in dragonian or something.
he got the stone and took the meddallion from his neck. he touched the two
together and yelled in pain as the two grew hotter. he threw them down.
”lets not try that again,” he said as he looked at the black marks on his
hands.
ironically, they looked like the words on the meddallion, and … a dragon. he
tried to find out how it happened, as he looked closer and closer, he could see a large
landscape. he stopped looking so close and then he suffered the same sensation as
before. he looked and the burns were glowing. his pupils dissappeared, and the stone
started talking to him again.
”bring the rainbow to the place of lossess and memories.” it said.
the thought of the place brought tears to his eyes. “Kaiba!!!!! why must you
lay such a burden on me, i’m only 11 years old, i can’t be an imperial dragon keeper,
why!!!”
he couldn’t hold them back any longer, he ran to his hut and cried. he
made his mind up, he needed to go to the place where kaiba flew. he needed to go to
huan lan, the dragon land.
he bathed before he started out for food. he picked up his few
possessions, and started on the walk. he figured it was 10 and 2 o’clock, he never
bothered to learn math. koromo started on the walk to the half heaven gate, that was the portal
to huan lan.
everytime time he put his hands together, they burned like when he put the
necklace and the rainbow rock together. everytime the rock talked to him. all it said was “put
the rainbow to your name… bring the rainbow to the place of lossess and memories.”
he thought those very same words over and over. until he addedd the word rainbow
in front of stone. that ment that the rock was the rainbow, and his name was on the back of his
meddallion, and the place of lossess and memories, is the place where kaiba left him.
everything fell into place.
he had already eaten breakfast, and midday meal. he thought he would camp out
for the night at the hill about 5 miles from the gate. that way he’d be at the peak of the two
mountains that day.
by the time he’d gotten to the hill he had already heard the stone talk at least a
dozen times. he needed to find a way to talk back to it. he remembered that he could talk to
kaiba by talking in his mind. maybe he could try that and tell it to shut up, he knew what to do.
”hey! yeah! that could work!” he said out loud.
so he clapped his hands together but it didn’t work. he looked at his hands and the
scars began to dissappear. he tryed touching the meddallion and the stone again, relievingly, it
worked but he didn’t get scars.
”no!!!!” he yelled, so loud that the village inbetween the two mountains could hear.
suddenly he woke up to find himself tied up, and being brought in a carriage with 10
imperial gaurds in it. his hands were tied together so they burned red hot. the heat had already
charred the ropes, and probably some of the seat. he moved his hands away from eachother
and shot out a ring of energy that he never saw before, knocking all 10 soldiers off there seats
one of the still conciess uninjured ones ran at me at stabbed there sword into my cheek, i shot
another one, and felt a trickle of blood go down my lip. i burnt threw the ropes and ran. he
looked in his bag for his bandages, but found something else, scaly and small. he pulled it out
and it was a… baby dragon.
”oh…no, so that’s what you were an egg.” he said to it.
he reached into his bag and found the cracked fragments of the stone, colors gone.
he tryed to talk to it and it said “bring me to the half heaven gate.” he said
”that’s what i’m doing, do you want to go back to your father?”
”yes.”
”what is your name, dragon?” he said.
”i am clyona”
”so your a girl dragon, great.” he said sarcastically.
”and what is wrong with being a girl dragon?!?!?!?” she said with a small puff of
smoke.
oh… nothing, nothing. i just have heard that raising girls is harder than raising
boys,” koromo said.
”untrue”, she said.
clyona raised her wings, and started to chase komoro around in circles. they both
laughed as they chased each other around. they stopped chasing eachother and koromo forgot
to show the sign of the imperial dragon rider. so he did and clyona said “i didn’t know
any more dragon riders existed. it is your duty to raise me, and ride me to the island of the
golden dragon, you will live for thousands of years komoro, you will be nearly immortal.”
”okay, i accept the challenge, but first we’ll have to find a home. there is money on
our heads” he said.
they eventually found a newly abandoned hut in the desert of kai chan. it had a
food chest and everything even a straw matress. they slept together, komoro slept on his side,
clyona slept curled up in a knot like form.
corneleus’s diary
August 25, 2008
dear journal
i am corneleus talthon. i was recently held hostage by some drunk merchants. i’ve escaped but mistook this island for a populated
one. it wasn’t. this is day 4 of my journey of this island. i’ve been scouting the entire island. there is a volcano ast the top i’ve
befriended one of the native tribes here.
dear journal
this is entry 2. i’ve found an abandoned settlement of the busamzic tribe. according to the tribe i befriended, who’s name i can’t
write or pronounce, said that they conquered the busamzic tribe 45 moon’s (nights) ago. i was escorted here by them.
dear journal
i have just found someone, a guru, i think, he’s wearing a mask that is so big it cover’s his entire body all that you can see is
his arms and legs. he’s sitting in a meditorial position. i tapped his shoulder and he fell, i took the mask off him and it looked like
all his blood was sucked out of his face. his eyes were open, i closed them i decided to burn the body. it was the most humane
way to get rid of it.
dear journal
it is day 7. i am growing weary. from all the survival stories i’ve read, i learned a lot. tonight i’ll make a snare, hopefully catch
something. have i ever told you my carreer? i’m an american scientist.(i was in africa at the time before the kidnapping). my
life’s work (or at least dream) is to create a suit of robotic armorthat can do amazing things, like project force fields or use sound
as a weapon. who knows? i might think of something in this forest. maybe blue prints? i donno, we’ll see, i guess.
dear journal
in the snare, i caught a chinchilla, i checked it for rabees and fortunaetly the thing didn’t have the deadly disease. i’ve
learned how to gut animals from watching man vs. wild so much. it was a good meal.
the sleeping gaurd
July 8, 2008
hi, heres my next story, it’s pretty cool.
the sleeping gaurd
10000 years ago
my father is quetzacoatal, the aztec god of the sun. my creators are the aztec warriors. my objective is to gaurd the great temple, and
destroy the one called cort….
everything just went black, there was a feint flash and i felt like i was destroyed, i wasn’t.
i am the semi-robotic gaurd of the temple. i am powered by the sun, the stars, the lightning, and the great moon. they called me ko-pet-alen. i knew i
would be asleep for a long time. i wasn’t
20 years ago
i woke up 10 minutes later. and found myself tied down with clay straps. i used my weapons to get out.
i got out of the big clay tipi… where thousands of people flooded the gray stair where the black material ended. they were afraid of me…
very afraid. i drew all my weapons as more of them came out with guns, and shields, like the conquistadors. they backed up and formed a circle to block
the people called “civilians”. i soon realized that i wasn’t asleep for 10 minutes, but ten thousand years, after i analyzed my surroundings. my technology is
built to evolve as i grow. i jetted up to find a huge propeller powered vehicle with a large gun.
i was shot and crashed down. i was sure i was dead, i again, wasn’t. the civilians had me tied down. i was strugling to get out. they had my
circutry hatch open and was fiddling with it.
i blacked out again… everything faded and i was asleep again. they made me a tourist attraction. me standing up in a shatter proof glass box.
i can tell beacause of my backup sight sensors, i didn’t have any backup movement sensors, unfortunaetly.
current time
i was evolving, i could feel it. i finished and destroyed the case a few moons later. i got out of the building throeugh the roof. i was now
much smarter on this tribes tradition. i needed to find cortez. i analyzed the entire area and the one person with the same DNA was killed 40 years ago.
i must get to the great temple.
100 years later.
suddenly my entire systems shut down. i was put into the exhibit again, next to a picture of my old self , and a plaque of my story. i am called
the sleeping gaurd. i was kept there until all the humans were gone. i broke the case again, my systems shut down again, but this time forever. i am
ko-pet-alen.
THE SEEN, YET UNSEEN.
June 30, 2008
I’ve decided to change the title to The Creature to THE SEEN, YET UNSEEN. so here it is.
The day my life was changed forever. the day i saw that mythical creature. this is my story. i am luke sting.
one day, mid-summer, i was blogging on how in the future there would be these aliens called the xonians would take kids away in there sleep. suddenly the entire apartment began to shake. something flew by the window. everything electric in the room turned off. my curiosity got the better of me. i went to the window and looked down. it looked back at me and turned to dust.
this is all i got please leave comments i love them.
my first poem, rain drop in heaven.
June 30, 2008
Raindrop and Heaven
A raindrop falls perfectally
Through the bars
Of the rusted
Metal stairs
Of which I sit under
To hide
In my turtleshell
Of a jacket
I do this
To hide from the world
And the cruelness of recess
It hits my knuckle
As more come down,
Perfectally through the bars
This is like heavan
Where everything, and everyone
Is perfect
But that makes everyone and everything
Not perfect
It is like our world.
If our world
Were all humans
Then no one would be human
Or if everyone
Had superman
Powers
Then no one would
Be super.
This raindrop
Cannot fall
Perfectly
Through the bars
Of the rusted stairs
Because nothing is perfect in
This world
None of us are perfect
Yet
When we get to heaven we are
All perfect
But that one raindrop is not.
That brings this whole poem
Back around again.
A raindrop falls
Imperfectly.
