The Book is Open

Time stands, as the lost of this womans daughter drives her to the sea. She is unable to contain her mind as her heart begins to freeze. She cries out to the gods in hate, as the last of her will is sweeped with the tide. As she wondered off into the darkness of the waters, madness seems to take what is left of her. Her body loses the last of its shine as it turns to an ashen white. Her legs form a blood red veined tail that seems to darken with her taste for revenge. As her mothers hate consumes her she listens to the voices that fill her mind.

One night as the dawn began to approach she hide behind a stone crevice to watch the sailors dock. She heard a movement in the water as she moved closer. Off of the shores of Aglarond Bay a group of mers began to form. She watched as she began to learn.

An older male stood out amoung the rest as he rouse from the waters. As if to lead and orcestra. His head hung high to the heavens as he opens his arms from the waters. As he raised his arms his voice rang out across the ocean. The others joined in as the sun began to crest over the herizon.

Jennidia stayed in the shadows as she watched the song of the mers sing in rejoice to the sun, and the sea. They sang for all life, and happiness. As the song began to subside Jennidia slide from the rock and decended to her grotto. Yet she heard a movement behind her.

She quickly turned as the same male stood behind her eyesing her through his golden eyes. "Tala" he spoke, in a firm yet comforting way. He was well formed with adorned jewels on his arms, and neck. Showing he was of high importance. Jennidia eyed him not sure if she was going to fight. The merman stepped forward as he approached her. She straightened her stance as she showed no signs of fear, just concern in her being. He too seemed not to sure of her as his eyes darted across her own.

She did not speak as she had no words to say. The male finding there was not going to be any on going remarks puffed out his chest as if this was not the first time he had introduced himself. "I'm Orion, Mate to Lady Drea keeper of the Mer People of Aglarond. Who might you be?" Jennidia's thoughts pondered for a moment as she reconized the name of the merman. They had met before on a few accasions with her husband. Being the consort of the King of Fae brought her to be known to many leaders of the land. For meetings of the mind had taken place. She was known as the Lady of Balsidhe, yet she never really spoke informaly to many.

She noded to the merman and spoke clear and strong. "I know of you Lord Orion, we've met a few. I am Jennidia." His golden eyes seem to take in the knowledge as he looked past her lost in thought. He slowly came back to his sense as he looked over her form speaking in the form of a question. "You are the lady of Balsidhe?..." His voice tailed off not sure how to finish such a question. Her eyes lowed as did her guard as she realized he was not a foe. "Many find their paths, yet mine is astray...at the moment" she spoke softly, more to herself.

The merman noded "Aye, it maybe so yet we are cousins. I've never seen a Fae become a mer before" he said watching her. Memories flooded her mind of the time when she ran from Balsidhe towards the shore of Aglarond Bay, screaming as she tore her gown from her running out to the sea, praying for the tide to take her under. Yet she did not drawn. A thing that Sidhe can not do. They cannot drawn, yet as she struggled against the current her mind became black as a flash struck her binding her legs as the dark crimson scales formed.

Orion spoke to bring her thoughts back."Lady Jennidia, you seem lost. May I be of assitance". Jennidia shook her head as she cleared her mind of the pain of such a change. She looked at the merman as she thought of her own question "What was that you were singing earlier?" Orion grined as he again puffed out his chest in a form of pride. "That is the song of the mer-people passed to the sea, to greet the sun as it graces our waters." Jennidia noded as she listened feeling his pride of the sea, and of his clan. "May I learn such a song?" she asked. Orion pondered for a moment and noded "Aye Lady Jennidia you may, since you are of the mers. I don't see why not"

Jennidia smiled as they continued on their conversation as he taught her how to sing to the sun, and the sea. After a while she too formed her own voice. Yet the desire to sing to the sun was not what caught her mind. After a time she continued to visit Orion as he taught her the ways of the mers. Eventually he introduced her to the rest of the mer-people along with his lovely Mate, and his beautiful daughter.

The mers seem to do everything together. They even went on hunting parties as they took only what they needed to survive. Orion seemed to be one of the most skilled males when it came to hunting, since his skin blended in with the sea plants. His prey seemed to not tell him from the plants. Which was a bad mistake on their part. Jennidia began to understand how he was looked upon so well. He was very wise, and always made sure each member of the clan was well cared for.

Jennidia began to respect Orion more, as she watched him lead his people. Lady Drea had taken it upon herself to make herself well known to Jennidia since she was the leader of this clan. Which Jennidia took great care in. She knew this was not her clan so she respected their notice of her. She learned that no matter what may take her that mer's never shed blood amoung themselves. They are all family and none will break such a bond.

A rule Jennidia learned very early on. As Jennidia continued to learn of the ways of the mers, she found herself growing farther, and farther away from the clan. One night as she was sitting upon a rock watching Orion train another male how to hunt for fish. A strange shark-like male wondered over to Orion. He asked if Orion knew of a mer named Jennidia. Orion raised his eyes up to the rocks and noded in her direction.

The shark-like male wondered over and bowed at her feet. "M'lady, I have been searching for you since I have wondered into these waters" Jennidia stared at the male blankly as she watched him stare at her tail. She moved her hand as in a way to rise as he noded straightening his stance. "What do you seek from me?" She asked. "My Master has beseeched you. He ask for you to seek him out." Jennidia eyed the male as she noded "Tell your Master he may speak to me. I will be here the next eve." He noded and slide from the shore back to the waters and out from sight. Orion wondered over to Jennidia and asked her who the male was. She merely shook her head and shrugged "No idea".

"Hmm... we shall keep an eye on him then" Orion spoke seeming a bit concerned. Jennidia told him that he was to return with his Master the next eve. Orion noded and spoke of sleep. She too agreed and off she slide to her grotto.

The next eve she wondered back to her rock as Orion began to show the younger male how to make a spear. As they talked amoungest themselves Jennidia watched as a full moon apeared behind some clouds. Rising from the waters a beast rose. Jennidia watched as this being slide from the waters. It was a creature she had never seen before. He had pointy hair, beautiful golden armor, and instead of legs, or a tail he had tenticles. He placed his hand on his chest planting and bowed to Jennidia "Tala Queen Jennidia" he spoke with a strong voice. Jennidia blinked as she stared at this creature. Orion handed the younger mer his spear as he swam over towards Jennidia, and the creature.

"Tala Sir" Orion spoke strong yet openly. The male creature turned to Orion as he noded "Tala" he responded with a strong sense of being. Orion looked past the male towrads Jennidia and spoke clearly "Everything okay Lady Jennidia". Jennidia noded as she watched the squid like creature. "Aye I am well" Orion leaned against the rock as in a way to say that he was not going to go far. The younger male wondered over as he began to speak to Orion about different types of fish. They began to engross themselves in conversation as the squid like creature turned to Jennidia.

"My Queen, I have searched the seas for you." he said as he lowered his head. Jennidia spoke in a confused yet strong mannor. "I am not royalty amoung mer M'lord, so I am no Queen." The male blinked as he lifted his head to her. "Aye m'lady but you are. You are the Queen of the Abyss, you are the mistress of all that is darkness in the sea." She was lost for words, as she listened to this creature speak to her of pain and hate. "My army is yours my Queen" he said as he bowed lower.

Orion looked up as he cleared his throat. "M'lord, I've not known of your kind, yet you speak of an army. May we speak of what you seek here." The creature stood in front of Jennidia as he seemed to take command. You could clearly see he was a creature of military as he took command of his own stance. He puffed out his chest in pride as he spoke of his men, and the travels they seek. "I seek to ride the land-walkers of their disgrace amoung our waters M'lord" the creature spoke with a quant bow reconizing Orion's stature.

"And how to you suppose this happen Sir" Orion said with his golden eyes turning into a form of question. The creature stood strong as he ran his hand over his weapon "Any means necissary M'lord". Orion shook his head and spoke openly "Sir, you seem of great mind, yet we mer-people are a peaceful race, and have worked hard to bring peace with man, I wish no war with them" The creatured noded in understanding "Aye that maybe so, but they are vile creatures tresspassing on our waters. A time will come to chose cousin." Orion noded and understood the creatures words, as he motioned to the younger mer to depart. "Lady Jenndia it is growing late, I must return to Lady Drea, will you be well?" Jennidia was not to sure herself but she did not wish to seem frail so she noded "Aye, I will be well thank you Orion"

After hours of converstation the creature taught Jennidia the power's that was given to her. The abilities that her mother Lilith had sent to her, and why she was a mer. So many quesitons this creature filled her thoughts with. Finally she knew her perpase, and it was not to serves...it was to command. To destroy all that was in her way, and this creature this beast of many gave her the weapon and power she needed.

As the night went on her heart grew colder as the vision of blood shed filled her thoughts. The creature noded to her as the morning began to rise. "I must return your highness. I will return. My servant is at your command." he bowed one last time as he wondered back to the debts of the sea. She too returned to her grotto as she thought of things to come. Wondering if her own husband knows of her absense after so long. Only the darkness will know....

What a world...

*Jennidia stroles in comfendantly and stretches her muscles. Feeling the eyes of the audiance she takes a gentle bow to the front row lifting her head to the back row as she nods deeply. Lifting her strance she straightens her back with grace. Blinking evenly and flattens her tongue against her mouth clearing her throat.

Jennidia; reaches inside her peti coat pulling out a scroll as she steps up to the podium that is elagantly placed right in the middle of the stage. Taking in a deep breath she smoothes out the pages. Pasturing herself she reads. Lifting her voice to the crowd she narrates her events of this dear woman's life.*

~As the angel swirls in the array of man, and beast. She finds a burden befall her. She begins to notice changes in her schedule. The voices of man begin to fade. Her heart begins to beat gently as though in a sense of pride. No emmense flutter to meet the next being in need for help or guidance. For once her mind was clear. No cries for help. No screams, no prayers. Pure...silence. She flutters down an takes a seat upon a toad stole. Pondering her feelings of light heartedness. Never has she felt so at ease. So embraced by peace.

Her days as an angel has been of fear, and work. Constantly in need, and rushing to mans side with great care and concern. Today nothing called to her, but the sound of her own beating heart.

She flexed her wings looking up at them in great wonder. What a burden it must be to wrap the worlds fears inside such a brillant light.

*Jennidia wraps her wings around her. Embracing herself, feeling the feathers brush her skin*

As she breathed in the scent of her own lifeforce she glowed for the first time. She had brought great light to man. The holyest of all kinds. But this was a new light. One that she had yet felt. It wraped her and called to her gently. It had a song all its own. Lifting her wings she takes to the skies. Rising higher and higher. Not to reach the clouds of heaven but to touch the stars. To shine next to them. She went here to find answers. Ones in which would soon be given to her.

Hoovering over the land of man she peered down through the night sky. Hearing...nothing...Nothing touched her mind. Nothing called out in pain. Such a feeling of peace. She stretched out her arms and prayed. Prayed deeply for an answer as to why.

A single voice spoke. Gently, and soothing. "Sidhe"....

She opened her eyes to find the voice. The single voice that pierced the silence in her mind. She wirled around. Desperate to find answer. She called out "Sidhe? WHAT? What is that?" she spoke out demanding an answer.

The wind rouse up around her. Hugging her gently like a night summer breeze. "Sidhe...." it spoke gently again. Faint yet loving. Like a mother whispering to a child.

She looked up into the night sky, and out from behind a darkned cloud the moon formed. As though coming from a distant land. She stared in wonder at the beauty before her. She moved without thought. She removed her robes letting them fall to the land below.

Skyclad* she opened her arms to the great moon. Calling out like a woman seeking answers. "What do you ask of me?" The warm wind graced her naked flesh caressing gently, again it spoke "Sidhe". Hearing the words roll over her mind she spoke it out loud, "Sidhe".

"Sidhe...."

Opening her wings crossing her legs opening her arms. She lets the word fill her. Leaning back she falls to the sound in her mind. The light that was forming gently began to build around her. Wrapping and circling. Her mind was filling with so much. The smell of grass filling her nose, the taste of water rushing over her tongue, the warmth of fire building inside her heart. The grace of wind wrapping around her body in loving arms. Her soul building in ways she had never felt.

She stretched her wings furthur bearing all she is. An array of light shot through her body wrapping her wings, her legs, her chest, her head, her eyes, her mind. So much she could barely see the moon over such brillance.

A moment later she felt her body being lowered to the ground. As she touched the soft earth below she feel gently asleep. Exhausted from the overwelming feelings rushing through her.

She awoke to the sound of birds chirping, and water rushing past. Waking up she peered at a babbling brook that was just a stone throws away. She sat up realizing she was still skyclad she wrapped her arms around her frame. Looking around she felt her hair fall over her flesh.

It sent sensations through her body that made her shiver. She gasped out loud from the caress. She flexed her muscles and stood letting her body wake fully. She stretched reaching out and feeling the warmth of the morning sun roll over her skin. She sighed gently smiling to herself. She began to hear a new sound. She could hear the very essance of her heart beating. She stood in awe listening to the sound. Then other things began to fill her mind. The sound of the bird, the water, the crunch of the earth beneath her toes. She opened her arms and began to do something she had NEVER done on land. She danced....

Slowly at first but more as she heard the sounds of the Goddess fill her body. She moved faster. Faster..until it filled her mind...her body, her soul, her heart. As she moved she felt a sensation she had never felt before. She was lighter then usual. She looked back and her eyes grew wider. Her wings....her once long featherly wings were now bare. They were clear as ice, and sheer as hair. She fluttered then gently looking in awe as she moved to the wind.

The sun captured her wings and she gasped in awe as the sun pierced straight through casting a prism of wonderous colors before her. Such pure beauty....

She opened her mouth and spoke softly more as to herself.

"Sidhe...."

A faint smile covered her face as she wrapped her arms around her giggling for the first time EVER. She moved towards the brook and yet again began to dance to the wonders of nature.

*Skyclad; meaning nude

Into the Sun

Jennidia has been working and watching over man, but as she watches over them they wonder off into areas that she tries not to venture into. A new land has been formed in Aglarond. Is it called Argoth. The land of Darkness. The pit of hell is in the bowls of this forsaken land. The ruler of this abyss of darkness is "Damian Darkheart". He is a Dark Mage. He also formed the teaching of the Dark Mages. Jennidia being known as a "retired" Mage. She still feel the sting of magick running through her. As she reads and continues to learn of this "Argoth" she is given word that her husband is working on something. He sends scrolls out every day to various people. She never likes to bother him when he is in one of his rants for she knows that if he is upset in the worst forms of manors that he will not leave his rage. Something about Fae's. When they want to do something. It will get done at all cost. So she learned to stay out of his "Warpaths"

Reading on her council scrolls and thinking on what to do for the people of Aglarond confused and watching the clouds form in Argoth, she listens to her husband wonder around aimlessly muttering to himself. Watching him stop occasionally to jostle something down then to pace again. The loft upstairs was turned in to a thinking room since Creag decided that he has some changes he wished to present to the Simbul of Aglarond. There is much that he has in mind, but Jennidia herself is trying to keep her mind busy from the screams she now hears in Aglarond.

She left Creag to his rambling and went to visit Argot to provoke peace among the King, and as he was about to speak with her something set him off, and he called out for her demise. She fleeted for her life but felt more distraught then ever. "How to save mankind with this darkness" she taught as she rose to the heavens. Finding a demon was still hot on her feet she landed on Aglarond soil. He call out for peace as she agreed to meet with him. She noticed something strange as he approached her. He looked familiar under the cloak of darkness he wore. He moved his hood back and smiled through a darkened face. Yet his frame was still there. It was Vondred. He had been gone from Aglarond for a long time, and she had not thought to ask of his disappearance, for many people of Aglarond have been missing.

He spoke to her of a treaty that he wished to forge with Aglarond. A peace of neutrality between the Angels, and the Demons. She listened as he asked for the blood of an Angel. Horror filled her face as a long time friend of hers asked her for blood of a divine being. A being of light. He told her how this angel called himself the "Fist of God" she listened in disgust as Vondred told her that this was a "Fallen" Angel and covers himself in robes to hide among the divine. She screamed for him to stop but his voice only grew stronger. He spoke of how he was killed. Sent to an abyss of darkness to find himself. She listened, and was confused but listened.

She called him a false friend, and a demon speaking of darkness to fill her heart of her brothern. He kept on talking as if her words were dust. He spoke of a breed of a new demon arising. Stronger, faster without words or remorse rising. An angel of Death being born, and the death of her brothern would stop this. He pleaded with her to bring this angel to him so that he can be cast into the void. She refused, confused and hurt. Never had she taught that Vondred of all beings would ask such a thing of her. He finally lost his nerve with her and screamed out. "LOOK AT ME! THIS IS WHAT HE DID TO ME! LOOK AT YOUR ANGELS WORK! HE BETRAYED ME, YOU. LOOK!" He turned pulled back his cloak as a darkness filled her vision of a massive form of wings pulled from his flesh. He took to the air, and from sight.

She slowly flew home. She walked through the door and went straight to bed. To much for her Angelic mind to gather at the moment.

You? The Messiah..Really??

(I am not going to say who this is dedicated too. I am just going to see how long it takes him to realize.)


All my devotion betrayed
I am no longer afraid
I was too blinded to see
How much you've stolen from me

You want to know why I feel so horrified?
I've let my innocence die
You want to know why I can't be pacified?
You made me bury something
I won't be sleeping tonight

I only wanted a blessing made
Now I've been labeled a renegade
It seems so clear now what I must do
You're no immortal
I won't let them
Deify you
They view you as the new messiah
Deify you
Renew belief in some demented man

You want to know why it seems the passion's died?
We've all been living this lie
You want to know why my will's been fortified?
You've made me hunger again
Good luck sleeping tonight

I only wanted a blessing made
Now I've been labeled a renegade
It seems so clear now what I must do
You're no immortal
I won't let them
Deify you
They view you as the new messiah
Deify you
Renew belief in some demented man

All my devotion betrayed
I am no longer afraid
I was too blinded to see
How much you've stolen from me

Deify you
They view you as the new messiah
Deify you
Renew belief in some demented man
