Beyond the veil. The three words together have been used many times by innumerably different people in countless distinct ways. I have a specific understanding of the phrase.
Why is there suffering? Why are so many treated so horrendously? Why, when I meditate, am I able to visit places where there is no suffering, has never been, will never be, that are just as real as Earth, right now? The beings there are able to live, learn, and evolve with complete individuality, without having to suffer or be hurt to learn.

Roses and Thorns.
He tightly grabs me by my waist and he holds me in place while I still continue to get captivated by whatever it is that is happening here. "Tell me what you see." He commands in a voice that sounds so beautifully smooth and pleasant to listen to. My words are choked up and I can't even begin to explain what lies in those eyes of his. Something about his presence is reeling me in, pulling me more soulfully closer to him, something that i am not even sure is possible but I feel this connection to him, this ancient ancient connection, like I had seen him before, like I had known him for a long time, a life time. And the way he's holding me !!! He feels familiar and yet I don't even know who this man is and it would be crazy if I told him that I've seen a Storm in his eyes, a storm that I had never seen anything like it in my life. It was beautiful and enchanting. Everything that he Is at the moment. "Nothing... I didn't see anything." I lie, as my mind fully gets back to me again, and the storm finally dissappears. He let's go of me and i move to stand on my own. He looks at the features all over my face before he furrows his thick brows, in concern while he continues to stand awfully close to me and gosh he smells so good. A huge strike of lightning echoes outside before immediate rain starts pouring outside. I could have sworn that there was a zero percent chance of rainfall tonight, it was clear and there were no clouds insight, the ocean below the balcony starts to get angry too as the waves get aggressive and the moon looks as vibrant as ever right now. We both look outside before we look at each other again. "Are you sure that you saw nothing ?" He asks and I nod my head at him. "Nothing..."Complete
The Unconventional
Love. Such an overused and underestimated word that no one really knows. I don't really believe in love. Can you really love someone so much that it hurts. Can you love someone to the point that you can't think of anyone else. At least I didn't believe it. I didn't know it until I experienced it. I had been missing out. To love someone so hard that your ribs ache having to cage in such a heart beat. You literally can't think of anything or anyone else. You're even smiling long after he leaves. Everything you do or see or hear reminds you of him. Like I say I didn't believe it. I know now that it exists but I also know that it comes to a painful end. Isn't that the saying all good things come to an end. This is the love story of Nina and Chaz. "To not letting the world and it's people keep us from living!" "And to jumping off the bridge."Complete
Rewrite: Dragons' Land
It was horrible, everything was in flames, everything was either destroyed or burned. The corpses of his father, his aunt and his uncle as well as those of his two cousins lied on the ground, lifeless. His lips shook as he wanted to ask for help, but from whom, there was no one else besides him in there. He looked up at the huge creatures that was staring down at him like if they were staring at their prey, maybe he was really their prey. He shook as he let the crystal sword fall down. " It's... Over..." He admitted it then. Although they tried desperately to fight those giant creatures that suddenly attacked them while holding on the smallest ray of hope, they couldn't defeat them. " It's over... Everyone is already dead... Everything is destroyed... We lost..." He kneeled down and accepted his fate. " If we just knew about this earlier..." And he was burned to ash by the flames of the huge lizards... ********** A dark and horrible future was await of them. Through the darkest moment of his dream, he heard a voice calling for help. He just knew he had to trust that voice, he had to. A new adventure starts as a new kingdom declares its existence. Is it a friend or a new foe? Will our friends manage to hold a grasp of a bright future and change their fate, or will they die in the most horrible way ever?...Complete
Finding the Fallen
Kala had always thought of herself as normal, but when the world ended, cleansed by a power most would fail to understand, she realized she was far from normal. That day, Kala awoke in a fog surrounded by a nothingness that permeated every pore of her body. The only sounds she could hear were her own ragged breaths in the vast and empty darkness. When the light finally returned, she found herself utterly alone and suddenly part of a struggle much bigger than she'd ever thought possible. With that struggle came something else...power. Power to control the elements. Power the likes of which she had only seen in movies or read about in books. Despite her disbelief, it remained...right there in the palms of her hands. Eventually Kala learned to use her power as it was intended. As she wandered the new world, she met others like herself, other Servants with similar abilities who understood the reason for the destruction...for the loss. And then, six years after her world turned upside down, she met him. A handsome stranger in a tiny town in the middle of the West Virginia woods - not a Servant - not like her. And certainly not the type of man Kala had expected to find herself falling for. But the man she met there turned out to be more than just a hero in her time of need. At her side, he would become a protector, leader, confidant, and so much more. Together, they would find themselves fighting a growing evil...a man like Kala, who had been granted power beyond words or description. He might have been a good man once, but his fall was nearly complete. And now he desired only to rule - not to heal. This man would lead a small army against them, but they wouldn't have to fight alone. There was another, more powerful force on their side...one that could change the course of the war to come.Complete
Amber's Apocalypse - A Travelogue Companion to This Is The Fall
April 22 I've been walking for days, they're still tracking me though. i sleep high in the trees, I double back, walk in the river, cover my tracks, start false trails...it's all slowing me down but it's really the only chance I have. I'm on foot. I'm alone. The day the grid went down I was in the mountains and I stayed put for over a month, unable to contact anyone. The electricity is out, the phones don't work, no running water, no cars, no radio...nothing. It's dangerous to go into towns now, survivors are scared, starving and dying by the thousands, but their bodies seem to just disappear. Sometimes I hear screams in the night that sound like they come straight from the depths of Hell, and the scent of sulphur and rot rides on the breeze when the heaviest clouds block out the sun. I think it's the thing that got Dan...the thing that's almost gotten me. Whatever it is, it's completely unnatural and I just know I have to stay ahead of it or I'll be just as dead as Dan is.Complete
B4B Before the Beginning
Goddius I am content to see the rotation of light.... turn into darkness then back into light. Which is the same as it goes into night from light right back into night. I am delighted and pleased to see the sky and seas, the land which is firm with grass that is green and plenty of trees. I'll make sure they have lots of fruits and veggies.... that will come with its own seeds to full each of their bellies... And I'll grow it all over.... To cover their needs daily. And I must not forget to thank Mother Nature...she helped me line up the sun, stars and the moon she did it so fast, the time goes by so soon. Then I filled up the oceans with small and big fish... crabs, oysters, shrimp. Whenever they like, they can have as much as they wish. I put birds in the sky that knew how to fly, so that they'll know without my call they could only soar so high. I put some animals to be admired and some to be hugged, livestock to be eaten and some to be rubbed. Yet I saved the best for last and you will walk in my image, but respect the atmosphere because you're the ones living in it.... Now the only thing left to do, is to wish it all true, if you want to come to heaven then do as we do.... Let it be done on earth as it is done in heaven... Let it be done on earth as it is done in heaven...Let it be done on earth as it is done in heaven. Let it be done on earth as it is done in heaven! I see nothing but goodness from this. Only if he knew of all the chaos going on in heaven before he wished it upon us.Complete
"Goodbye Curly Head"
Through thick and thin the Law shall prevail. A new sense of purpose awaits us, children of light, in the land where it all began. The darkness in which we once cowered in fear, now curbed by the might of our endless light. Come, brothers, come, sisters. Let there be peace among the wicked, just as the Law dictates. Peace and certainty is all that you have ever longed for, little angel. A bright, stable future. A roof without holes above thy head. Acknowledgement and recognition of thy existence, feverish dreams of grandeur. Greed born from yearning, treacherous vines of rapacity taint your innocent soul. You seek a future that does not exist. Let thy fingers hold the fragile line between dream and nightmare. Let thy light navigate the path. Shall thee give in and falter, O' land of old, envelop his body in thy unending flame of chaos. Spit out nothing but an empty husk, the remnants of a smile once so bright. Shall thee prevail, O', Great Kazdel, I ask of you, the impossible - take mercy on the innocent. Don't let the radiance dim and don't let the mind turn bleak. Wake, young traveler. Bid thy farewells and burn thy bridges. It's time to say goodbye, curly head. Cross post from AO3. For a shorter and more on-point description, look no further! I had something silly written up before throwing it out in exchange for that wall of text upstairs. It's a little story "about a young, dumb sankta who's been dealt a bad hand at life, looking for his place in all this mess. The pointless search for a better future leads him far, far away from home, to a country forever ravaged by war and misery - Kazdel, the promised land where devils roam free and peace feels out of place." Anyway, it's quite lengthy, but hopefully enjoyable? Slide a comment if you want, I'll give you a tiny kiss on the forehead. Man, do I love comments. (Lastly, to point out, English is not my native language, but I don't think it'll be much of an issue ;3)Complete
