For Rhonin by TenmaGouZanku, literature

For Rhonin

I feel it in every heart beat, the pound of your little feet. In your grasp around my finger as you balance, when you linger atop our flights of stairs, gravity the least of your cares. I feel it more now as you grow Even with the tantrums you throw, And spoons, and bowls, and cups. Especially with mid-day cuddle-ups. For now you're my only one But you'll always be my rising sun.

Life without Death (WIP?)

"What the acutal fuck?!" Decay smiled. There was no need to rush. The time had come to...savor...the unique flavor of ultimate betrayal. His head sunk to the top of clasped hands as Death marched through his ironworks. "Tell me!" Inhalding deep, Decay jerked from his seat, but with a slow nuance halfway through. "You tell me, Death." he said, straightning. A slow, circling meander overcame his legs. "Where would you be without me> Where would any of you be? Mhmm?" Armored boots rang throughout the ironworks with malice as each step hit the grated floor. "You see, without me you wouldn't even exist. How do you reap the healthy? The ageless

Stripped of Thorns

Strong rays of the morning weaned through the dew kissed tree boughs in The King’s prized garden. It awoke to the gentle touch. Flashes of colors, of blues, of reds, and of yellows, slowly unfurled their petals, and bent their stalk toward the climbing orb. The well groomed bushes, islands, and pots savored the heat as they sucked in life with their roots. They, too, swayed in the steady wind of pacing boots. The man, to whom the boots belonged, methodically walked from one end of the garden and back. This had been his third course as it was not a long walk, perhaps a hundred steps or more. But those steps were lost, drowned out by h

Isildur's Lament

Confessions of a King, of shattered Sword and Shield and a lost golden ring The day was dark, for I left without a meal to face the coming war Dwarves, Elves, and men gathered to honor the deal To protect and defend our only middle earth. We came ready, and steeled the lines before our hearth. The black gates of Mordor would no longer be a seal from those knocking at our door. Thousands spilt their blood fecklessly across the field, turning dirt into mud. The onslaught festered more than could be healed... No hope could be mustered Before me stood the enemy as I cowered and reeled. Attack! The only remedy. My shattered sword struck fi

From one Spartan to Another

Winters. He had chosen that surname on purpose. It wasn't just because Spartans weren't given one. It was because of its many meanings. Most, he knew, chalked it up to the cold and dispondant demeanor. Sure, they have a point there. Most Spartans were severely introverted, lacked in personality and communication, and were, for lack of a better word, cold. But is that all anyone can see when they scan a snow ridden field? A frozen waste being loosely gripped of life, and robbed of all its potential. Not Cyran. Where they saw a cold, muted landscape he could see the shining brilliance radiating from each snow crystal. He could find even the t

Halo Aftermath: Seal of Solomon Prologue (revised)

Prologue The lab doors splayed wide at the kick of a ruby red stiletto. Their rhythmic clatter never hesitated, never even slowed. Their owner, too distracted by the latest gene manipulation papers on her holopad, walked away calmly around tables, avoided busy lab technicians, and only slightly wafted the lingering haze oozing from the cryogenic tubes without ever looking up. She had spent the last three years here; of course she would have the lay out memorized. Today, however, she had planned to take one sample from the next three consecutive batches, and then run them through a highly experimental procedure. According to those lead

Halo Aftermath: Seal of Solomon Ch. 20

Chapter 20 Erin slowly hauled her damaged leg behind her as she made her way to Harvest Moon. It had been a hard fight just to get this far, but this last ten feet seemed far too much. She threw herself against the hull, punching the open bay button. Leaning heavily, she waited for the hatch to descend. There was no more time, Luna and the others needed her. Why couldn’t this blasted door lower any faster!? A sudden crackle behind her forced her into a wobbly spin. Finding an elite Zealot tightly gripping its energy sword and bloody abdomen, Erin slumped to the floor. Exhaustion over came her will to stand. This way exactly why s

Tales from a Spartan #3

"Alright brother. Smallest catch has to clean them." Sampson smiled, "You're on!" he shouted as he stole a head start through the grassy plain. "Ah, Hey!" It wasn't very often that Sampson and his brother Samuel got so much R&R, but they had planned this trip in case they ever did. Neither had been off ship except on missions, let alone fish before. But that wasn't the point. The point was to get away from it all; the Forerunners, the Flood, the Covenant, the mindless death and destruction. Pretty much just being a Spartan. As soon as the Chain of Balance had made port the two were already in line, with rucksacks packed for camping, for

Halo Aftermath: Seal of Solomon Ch. 19

Chapter 19 Five men ran through dense undergrowth and unbearable humidity of the jungle. “There it is boys! Wolf get crackin’ on that door.” Wolf, the newest member of the team, interjected. “Ace, sir. Why not turn and fight?” “Son, I know you’re used to fighting against the odds but the rest of us here as just ODST’s. We have to pick our battles.” Wolf said nothing. It was only fifteen to one, the odds weren’t that bad. The fire men rushed for the forerunner building. Wolf slid to the door panel just right of sunken in doorway while the others laid down suppressive fire. Wolf

Submition Anxiety

Finally, my grand poem is done. My head hurts, my soul exposed. Its true meaning weighs a ton. Everything fits. It holds a pose. It seems to please, all well and fine. But, then again, who would host musings such as these, of mine? Would they burn it to toast? I panic. I start to retreat. A shot of fear wrenches my thoughts. I find my cursor ready to delete all I have to little more than a spot. No, I must be brave! Others will know how I felt. I should not cave, someone might come and help. You know, show me a new rhyme. Help me in some new ways. To fix it all and make it align, Wouldn't that make my day. One click and it's through, out

Natural Compassion by British-Prophetess, literature

Natural Compassion

The only way forward is to Expect some people who Needs to lean on you at times. Many will come and go, And you will gain some experience. Guide them through rough times, Open up their hearts once again. United you stand, divided you fall. Zen speaks of divine karma, All sworn enemies shall be punished. Notice how your words reflect Kindness; nothing is more greater than Understanding the burdens of others.

My Bio

I'm presently 32. Despite the avatar I have Brown hair and brown eyes. I'm roughly 5'10" depending on which gas station I walk out of. Currently I'm working on a novel version of my friends comic, however, I also have one other massive project I've been working on for about two years now. Parts of both are presently posted.

Aside from that I'm a third degree Black belt, working towards my fourth (albeit very lazily) I have dabbled in drawing though nothing profound. I love video games just like I like my books. Action, Fantasy, Fighting and the occasional Puzzle slash murder mystery (damn those butlers!)

If you have questions, comments, concerns ask and thou shalt receive.

Can you believe it?!

I haven't posted anything here since 2014!? Fortunately that has been alleviated! Just tossed up two new posts. One is a bit of leftover from a project I was working on. The other was a poem i jotted down for my son who will be two this June! Life has been hectic with new beginnings and experiences but i will try to post more. Though who can say how frequently that will be. Thank you to everyone who has visited in my extended absence. It might be a bit defunked, but i do check in every now and then. In the meantime, comments - especially feedback - are always welcome and appreciated!

Why not check out some of the newly revised Chapters from Halo Aftermath: Seal of Solomon? It's been a hot minute, I know, but I'm shaking of the dust and debris to get rolling again. If you're feeling talkative, drop off a comment too! Feedback of any kind is always welcome.

So, we've been given an opportunity...kinda.

0 min read

Hello! Yeah it's kinda a weird spot. Recently Luna applied, and was accepted, to work at one of our local comic shops. Woo! Now, apparently, one of her co-workers/boss man type people is a publisher. We had asked him to take a look at our running story of Seal of Solomon, and he came back saying............. it was Great!    How great? I don't know! But I'll take it. He also pointed out the rather huge flaw that Luna and myself have talked about, and that is getting it published. With SoS we would have to talk to 343i, pitch the idea, pray they like it, and the await the fabled money waterfall.    Of course, there is that chance that tha
