The Forlorn
An eternal wanderer searching for salvation...
He was nothing more than the sword that protruded his chest.
To remove the sword would relieve a never ending pain, but destroy everything the man felt he once was.
To be more than the sword was all he ever wanted, but now, he eternally wandered, impaled with the pain of his past.
A battle from long ago, still piercing his heart and soul.
His steps no longer reverberate, heralding a glorious hero. The forlorn figure drifts in silence.
Incessantly searching for someone who can pull the sword, leaving despair and devastation in his wake.

The Town at The Beginning of The End
It was about time I had moved back home, to my tiny little port town in Maine. The sedated pace of life back home was something I once dreaded, and greatly criticized. But after a long ten years working in the corporate hell that is Tokyo, I yearned for that pace once again. I was aging like a deer corpse, mangled daily by scavengers, a breeding ground for maggots. During my restless work nights, in the single hour I would get to sleep, I often dreamt of home. Standing at the port's edge, watching the small fishing boats drift in and out of the foggy surface of the sea. I dreamt of the cold wind and soft drizzling rains.

Affection and Healing for Yourself
During the night of the last quarter moon, I gathered my ritual supplies. I carefully handled the chunk of black tourmaline that would protect me from your overall negative and narcissistic energy. I carefully walked the house with my stick of selenite in hand, asking the universe to cleanse our working space.

Fox Hunt: Chapter
The progress we make is slow. I knew the chances of finding a trail or any sign of her passing would be slim, but if there was anything, I didn't want to miss it. Normally, I wouldn't care about making slow progress, especially not when it meant I was being thorough. Though it would also usually be silent, save the sounds of the forest. Considering I wasn't alone though, the slow progress was starting to get on my nerves, or rather, he was.
