Fall of the GODS Part 4 - Prolouge end
Category: Writing and Poetry

SHE looked into he flows of time, still not seeing anything of interest. The rain started to fall
as she continued to see what she had felt a thousand times before, the calling of powers more ancient than even HER. The Thanks given for the power received the raising of power, The Statement of purpose. She paused there, it could not be, how could they even have that knowledge? No human had attempted that since Pompeii. And then it was iffy because they didn’t have all the pieces of the crystal.
She knew Ivy had felt her and Smoke more times that reckoning they would not do this unprepared, but she did not see the crystal. If they attempted this without it the results…well Pompeii was not a place she liked to remember. Closely she watched as they started the ritual, four of them plus a fifth the numbers were right. Everything was right, but how could they know? Who could have told them? She waited with baited breath waited to see if the crystal was here, all the pieces gathered from all corners of the Earth. Ivy slowly reached into her pocket and began to utter the words. "In the Darkness I see…"
SHE Screamed as the evocation began knowing that she was already too late that this power was to be reawakened again. She knew that the War would be fought again and knew that her chosen, her children were already lost to her.

Running as fast as she could she headed back to the Ocean once there she could tap into the powers of the elder ones and tell them what happened, as she ran across the beach and dove into the water she willed herself to become the dolphin, fastest of the creatures and easiest to change into. Surfacing she sputtered coughing up water and still in her human form. What is happening? She thought to herself.  She once again as she had a hundred thousand times before called upon the Water to will herself into another form, and felt nothing. With a despairing cry of grief she realized that she was now cut off from her own element as she was shielded from the others. Crawling up onto the shore on all fours still coughing up water she wept. If this had happened to her what has become of the others?

Fall of the GODS Part 3

Smoke closed the gate behind him. Cougar was late, again. Oh well as long as he was here in time to do his job. Smoke often wondered why he put up with these people and their issues. But it was not his job to worry about such things. He was HER servant, HER Knight and his job was to fulfill his duty at any cost. He looked down at the vambrace that marked his service to HER. How many years had it been now since he took his vows, since he kneeled and swore his life for hers? How many times had that choice altered his life? Cost him? And now His family, His daughter, his First wife, all gone, all in HER Service. He was not bitter though there were rewards enough he thought. Ivy of course, the power and attraction he felt in her the first time he seen her was undeniable. And the love they shared now was unrivaled. The power, the knowledge too was a bonus. There was the ability to sense the presence of power, and of course the Dragons. All this in HER Service, marked in blood and skin and bone, symbolized by that vambrace, all of his service, his commitment, his honor. As he walked towards the house he removed the vambrace and set it at the base of the oak tree. As always it is in HER Service.
Thorne straightened up as Ivy Approached the Glade. Whispering because...well no other reason than he didn’t really know why, "She’s here." Looking at Andrea who was relaxing against the base of an oak tree he shook his head and went to welcome the High Priestess. "Greetings Mother, we have done as you asked. The altar is set and the lanterns are all placed." Ivy glanced at him and smiled. "Thorne, I swear to the Lady and the Lord if you keep calling me Mother I will break you in half. I am Ivy Nothing more nothing less. I love each and every one of you but your "respect" threatens to smother me.
"Of course Moth-uhh Ivy, I am sorry for any insult I may have given, please forgi…" "Oh do shut up Thorne, Andrea said as she walked up. Hiya Ivy, How are you tonight?" Ivy looked towards Andrea a smile not quite as large as the one for Thorne lit up her face. I am fine, how are your studies progressing?" Andrea shifted under Ivy’s Gaze, I umm...well I finished the relaxation exercise you asked of me. And I am still having trouble with the meditation. But I keep trying." Ivy nodded and folded her hands in front of her. "Perhaps you should stop trying so hard. Concentration is achieved through relaxation and focus. Not through straining will you accomplish anything." Nodding and looking at Andrea Thorne said thoughtfully "Exactly it is as Ivy says you should listen to her and follow her instructions." Ivy glared and smacked Thorne upside the back of the Head. "By the GODS grow a backbone. You’d think you were my toad." Thorne dropped his Gaze "Sorry Mother, I will grow a backbone ma’am." Ivy Growled and walked to the altar muttering about making someone a toad if they wanted to be a toad so much. Andrea smacked Thorne on the Arm."Gods you are such a suck up can you get your nose any farther up her ass?" Thorne Glared at her. "You shut up you can’t even get past one exercise to earn a smile from her." Andrea just shook her head. "You...you are such...ohh Troll." Stalking away to speak with Ivy she left Thorne to wonder what he did this time. "Ivy, what do you think of the Altar? Is everything there?"Andrea said as she walked up to her. "Almost Andrea, there’s a few items missing but they will be added during the ritual. Do you understand your part in this tonight?" Yes Ma’am I am to be the buffer. I will withhold my energy and use it as a buffer so that if needed it can augment any one person instead adding it to the whole." "Absolutely right, it is nice to see you pay attention every now and then. Remember though, no matter what happens you do not act unless you are asked to in the proper form. Do you remember what that is?" Andrea nodded, "In the darkness I see, the power I need, I ask of you now lend me you aid for I can not walk this path alone. Is that right?" Ivy smiled her enigmatic smile. "Absolutely"


Tune in Tomorrow.

Fall of the GODS - Part 2
Current mood: chipper
Category: Writing and Poetry

    Ivy stretched her long frame as she stepped out of the clear pool of water. The Bathing before the ritual was symbolic and could be done with just a sprinkle of water but damnt she liked the water and the feeling of being surrounded by it. Her and Smoke had inherited this piece of property from thier High Preistess and Priest before they died, and she was determined to take advantage of every part of it. As she dressed herself in her robe and slippers she took a second to reflect on what they were to do tonight. Perhaps not the riskiest thing the coven had ever done, but definately the most dangerous. Grabbing her sword and belt she strapped it to her waist, drew the blade nodded as the rising moon glinted off the edge. Slowly and deliberately, focusing on the task at hand she walked towards the circle.
    Cougar looked at his watch. "Damnt I’m gonna be late again" he muttered to himself as he weaved through the traffic of downtown. His sour mood had already been enhanced by the call from Smoke earlier. "Cougar I need you to pick up  the cakes and ale on the way. I’m too busy fucking your ex to do it my damn self." Cougar intoned in that classic "Smoke" voice. OK well maybe he hadn’t said the last part..but he meant it. And maybe Ivy wasn’t his ex but damnt they did go out on a date. He can’t help it if he didn’t go for the strong independent woman-who-could-kick-your-ass in a blink type, but to find out that Smoke and her not only dated but are now married, Cougar often wondered if there was something he had missed.Putting it out of his mind he sped through traffic and decided to put on his game face and concentrate on the Ritual. They could not afford to mess this one up. Pushing on the accelerator he drove as if he had no tomorrow.

Hehe. Tune in tomorrow.
And tell your firends if you like it.

Fall of The Gods Part 1

Then:   

    She walked quietly through the darkness, her skin damp, her hair black as a starless night hung limply at her sides. She was still adjusting to this form, it seemed, heavy to her full of life yes, but cumbersome. The leaves freshly fallen crunched under her bare feet, the night chill with the first breath of autumn brought to her the sense of being alive of being human. Slowly as she walked she reached out to her children, her chosen. She should feel them even though she was still miles away from their circle, but she could not. Reaching out farther to the source of all things her breath caught as it was not there either. Panic gripped her, she could not feel the Mother or the Father. Her chosen should be crying out in despair as they were cut off. But if that were the case then she should not be here either. Quickly skimming over the ground faster than any human ever could she traversed the miles to the sacred spot of her followers. The realization of the scene took a second to register. Her followers, Her Chosen lay sprawled as if thrown  their bodies mangled their blank eyes staring and their faces locked into
grimaces of unimaginable pain. Resisting the urge to weep she reached into her core to touch the North and bury the Bodies and return them to the Earth.
Screaming with frustration as she realized that the North was blocked to her too.
Tears leaked out of her eyes as she was once again denied the power of East andthe South. What could have possibly happened? The only thing that could have happened was to...but it couldn’t be no one could do that, it was impossible. Quickly she stepped into the circle and used her innate abilites to see the flow of time and trace back what happened. Though the view was murky she traveled the pathway.

Five Hours before then:

    "Come on Andrea." Thorne said. "We have to get all this in place before the moon rises" Cocking her head to one side the young Andrea looked at him. "Thorne I HAVE done this once or Twice, we’ll get it done. Don’t have a puppy."
Thorne shook his head and went back to setting the altar in the north. "When will the others get here? It’s not fair we do all the work." Andrea complained in her usual nasal tone. "I don’t know Andrea all I know is that Ivy told us we needed to get this done, and I don’t know about you but I don’t screw around with Ivy."
"Speaking of Ivy why do you guys get all the cool names? I mean youre Thorne, There’s Ivy, And Smoke, and Cougar when do I get a cool name? Andrea does not exactly strike fear into the hearts of men." Laughing, Thorne straightened up and smiled. "Andrea we earned our names. You will receive yours when the time comes, SHE named us we didn’t choose the names. Maybe if you spent more time working and less time complaining, SHE would take notice.

That’s All for Today.
Tune in Tomorrow Sometime for the next part
