I: Hesitance | Spring

Part I - Part II

 
 
 

"Not a flame flickers."
The Red, standing with The Gold looks out into their lifeless oblivion. But she is not talking about any light now extinguished in the nothingness before them. Gods are creators, and just as you may have a blank piece of paper, they have theirs - the nothing that they began with. The Gold's eyes narrowed, and a feather-light wind lapped around their shoulders.
"We both know he is far from being ash upon deserted earth. The wolf is a tactician biding its time; you do not dance on a volcano lest it erupt under your feet."
It is imperative volcanoes exist... but you cannot tell one when to lay silent, or when to move the earth; they have not been entirely gentle in coaxing Iaurdagnire into following through with his purpose. But in having learned so much, the stag still knows very little about what exactly his purpose is. All he knows is his obligation to the wrath of Season's turn, but that is all it is. An obligation, a necessary evil in what the God's chose in order to achieve what they must.
"Spring does all to hold the servants disasters in high regard after the last defeat. One can still admire the lava swelling in a seeming pallid crest, if knowing when to take notice of dormancy; we cannot doubt ourselves in our choice at the very beginning."
"No."
The Gold agrees.
"I begin to wonder whether Iaurdagnire will be burdened by his place, or made free by it."
The Red is silent, mulling over what Iaurdagnire said in their presence.

Death is an illusion of choice in this world, but me? Because of you - because of them - I have no choice. Whether I remember past lives or not, it is the thought of me being tossed around in era's past present and future for someone else's game that I cannot stand. I want to be the master of my own destiny, not hounded by those who wish to dictate it.

If and when I die, I don't want to die knowing that at some other time some other place, I'll be reborn again as something different. I want to grow old. I want to be the old coot telling stories under a willow of years gone by. I want to move through this forest and become part of it, slowly fade into the background like all the old do. I want to die because I have lived, and let go when there is no life left in me.
When I die... I want to die. That is all I want.


"In forgetting to exist, he will realize himself. Nothing else is capable of doing so."

This feels like major shiz is

This feels like major shiz is about to go down; the moment before the stories climax. I'm really looking forward to this...

Thanks... though, after re-reading it, I think it's useless really. It doesn't do anything does it. Except in my head because I know what's coming.

Okay ^^' I'm not entirely

Okay ^^'
I'm not entirely sure what I'm trying to do with this, is what I mean. I want to hint at a purpose that relies on Dag being who he is, and it being an intellectual process that has to be done; one thinks too much about ones existence...

Parrots - I'm so glad you

Parrots - I'm so glad you liked it (: Thank you, I wanted it to be as if you're listening in to their conversation, like an side-step in a film hinting a new twist. I also wanted to write something to sneak in a volcano metaphor as I had touched on it before that something is a volcano masquerading as a mountain... hehe.
Quad - I will never get tired of that gif. It's like a little blog trophy <3
Spyrre - STILL? B)

You make the Gods seem really

You make the Gods seem really untrustworthy and conniving (is that the right word?). I don't think anyone else has done that before...? I like it, means that you don't see them as michael and auriea.

The Red reminds me of the alien in that Katy Perry video 8'D
