Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Hey guys! Sorry about not posting in my journal for so long! I want to let you know what kind of things have kept me busy!

-The guild. It requires an epic amount of energy to keep it running smoothly!
-The guild ezine. I have to send out issues every week.
-Announcements. I have to send announcements out in private messages instead of announcements button. Why? I have dedicated the announcement button for guildezine.
-Many other things! I have been too busy to post much, if at all.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Guys, I'm really sorry. Here is a heads up: I probably will not post much until I get the guild in order. The good news is that the guild is running smoothly! The bad news is that it is taking all of my energy and I usually do not have the energy to post a journal entry. For that I am sorry, but I cannot do anything else. I have been dedicated to this guild. You know that! I had been saving up for like a month before I could get it! I cannot let this guild fail! It would be too much for me to deal with. If you do not understand, then talk to me personally. I will make sure you understand. Also, here is a story I have written:

Hope you like it!

Leon walked through the forest. He knew something was wrong. The animals were usually loud at this time, but today they were deathly silent.
He had seen a shadow pass through the forest and he went to check it out.
What he found was horrible. He knew why all of the animals were deathly silent. They were all dead. His face paled and he dropped to his knees.
He knew what had caused this...It could only have been the Alter of War.
"So he is taking life force so he can come back...I need to tell the others.", Leon whispered to himself. With that thought in mind, he ran back to the town of Ashevale. Leon ran into his friend's house and looked around. When he didn't see his friend, he began to panic. He looked around wildly.
Leon ran out and looked around. Suddenly, his friend, whose name was Reens, came around the corner. "Reens! Oh my gosh, I thought something happened to you!", Leon exclaimed. "No, I just needed to go get some basic factors for some potions", she said. "Well, I have bad news. War, Carnage, Mayhem, and Panic are acting up again.", he said. "What do you mean?", Reens asked. "I found dead animals. Something had stolen their life force and the Alter was close at the time", he said. Reens began to hyperventilate. "This is really bad", she said. She snapped her fingers and a red potion appeared. "Sprinkle this on the bodies. It should tell you who did it and bring the animals back to life", she said. He nodded and ran back to the clearing. Leon did what she told him to. The names War, Carnage, Mayhem, and Panic appeared. Leon ran back to Reens and told her what he found. She just stood there, completely shocked.


While they were wondering what to do, a new enemy was growing rapidly in power. Soon this new enemy would be more powerful then the Rider. The enemy is Drakonnon. He led the fire army and made them build his fortress atop a volcano. The Fire Army would strike at Ashevale. It was a short march away and they couldn't defend themselves. Or so Drakonnon thought. No one knew that Leon was an Archmage. Not even Reens, who he told everything. He was also an Alchemist. Leon knew that Drakonnon would strike there first, so he told everybody to evacuate. Not one person moved. "Ugh", he thought to himself. Leon went to see Reens. Her place was completely packed up. "Where are you going?", Leon asked Reens. It took her a moment to answer. "I'm going to swordhaven", was her reply.
He just stood there, completely shocked. But he knew why she was leaving. She knew that Drakonnon would attack Ashevale first. Even so, it was painful to watch her leave. He knew this was to be. She saw the look on his face and said, "You know we can never be as long as this war continues." With that she began her long journey to the city of Swordhaven. A single tear fell down his cheek and he wiped it off. "She would want me to be strong", he kept whispering to himself. In a way, this had helped him. He had something to fight for. Leon walked back to his house, walked in, and went to sleep as soon as his head touched the pillow. He hadn't realized how exhausted he was.


In Battleon, Yulgar was preparing for a battle of epic porportions. He was forging hundreds of weapons in such a short amount of time. But Yulgar knew he had to do it. He knew if he didn't, hundreds of thousands of people would be killed or made slaves to Drakonnon. "How could my apprentice go so wrong?", he kept asking himself. Yulgar wanted to avoid the answer to that question as long as possible. He knew he would have to answer it eventually. As he went outside, he saw something. Yulgar bent over and picked up the Fyre Amulet as if it was going to come alive. He examined it and shrugged, putting it on a shelf. Little did he know that the amulet he had picked up held the fate of Lore in it. He went to bed late that night. Yulgar knew something was wrong, he just didn't know what. He soon fell into a troubled sleep where nightmares ruled supreme.
