Day I: The Past & Morals, Tales of Remembrance.

—–

The years have marked great wounds on us all. Especially those of us that remain closer than others. Some of us are able to continue through time, embrace these marks, and are able to continue through our journey, without giving up, and seeing the marks as a motive to continue. Unfortunately, there are others that are not as strong, others that may just see the end to quickly, others that are too quick to jump the gun. I was like that once, in the far distant past, before the presence of the Cavern Walls. For now, I speak with the winds, follow the lights, and seek for the final resting place in which many Wayfarers are doing this very second. However, ever since my new travels had come to an abrupt stand still, I have been faced with many new Dilemma’s and small wars, as I’ve solemnly fought to gain my acceptance back into the new lands in which have sentenced exile onto my soul. Now with the hours remaining until the Dawn of the new Advent quickly dwindling down, I am faced with yet another Dilemma. There are very few in which I have truly put my all my heart, soul, and trust into, when these few people fade, relevance and worthiness of entrance into this New Advent decrease for me greatly, unless able to convince it otherwise. Beyond my control, life itself may have taken one of these few sacred people for it’s own. With this, time will inevitable change for me again, however once again I sense I am yet one step closer to finding my true resting place. Until this time, many answers are yet to be answered, however with only 10 days remaining until the direction must be chosen, a direction that will either lead me back into the lands that have which exiled me, or a direction that will forfeit me to a place still unknown. To my mind. It remains clear to be that time is running out.

Time & Cities – The Rebirth Saga

—–

Ever since the Reconstruction process commenced, these thoughts in which I have been pondering on for so long have begun to come more clean to me. However, a new dilemma has now presented itself in front of me. With time, now so twisted and tied with it’s terrible fate, moving on back into the lands in which exiled me has only become so much more difficult. In this strange land in which I dwell in now, the calling winds have faded, for now, some mysterious lights, flashing sharp, glowing like a beautiful soul, seem to be seeking to guide me to where I need to go. With the middle of the Afternoon making it’s arrival so ever quickly, I know soon that these skies will become dark, and this era will come to an end. Curse my luck, for it seems the darkness that lurks within these shadows present during this sunset, seek to captivate me and lock me behind with the old era once the new sun rises. Oddly, this does not haunt me as much as it once did before. For my fear of death has now completely faded, for I know until the new era it is fated that I continue on this path alone, for I still walk the path of the Islander, and the greater odds are very well against me. I only pray that the suffering in which I now currently, and will face down the road will only bring about a brighter light for those less fortunate than I.

Before making my step back into the lands in which have exiled me, a new war waits to be fought. A war of time, a violence, vexed so greatly to it’s core, that it must travel through different periods to survive. For now I must retrace my steps, and fix what is wrong, and create what is right. With the clocks ticking ever so quickly than before, once again, just like in the wretched Cavern, I find myself attempting to make haste. A new time to heal and rise is now, for strength will be needed more now than ever before.

 

 

~We have come this far, but I have only now discovered a paradox which exists within your soul.

Reconstruction

———————

With the Transformation period coming to a slow close, the final period is now about to take place. The Reconstruction Period. Since the downfall days of the sudden exile, I must now reconstruct a new me in order to earn my place back into the lands in which some new evil and chaos lies. Still traveling on which is my second and final chance. I have now found that the morphing’s that have been going on within me, are not enough alone to swap this fate in which is waiting for me shortly down this road surrounded by towers in which are greater than me with every form and shape. The Afternoon is growing later with every step I take, my time is limited,  for the new Advent is soon to arrive. At the same time, some quiet calling from the past in whispering to my soul to return. The exact reason, I still cannot make out, however my heart itself is begging me to listen to this quiet message. This final period, I know will be the most difficult and tiring , however I am ready to at last begin to build the new self that is me. This period, will fully be a journey in itself. I have once again set out into what seems to be similar lands, yet now, towered by these mysterious structures, in order to receive acceptance back into the lands, in which my heart is so strongly desiring. To carve out a new fate, is what I must do this time around, with the middle of the Afternoon growing near, I am once again forced to make haste.

Transformation

—————

Long awaited, this day has been. While is feels like I have waited hundreds of years, I have never thought the opportunity of a second chance would present itself in front of my eyes again, in the way, shape and form, that it is currently doing now. With the Resurrection stage now at an end, I am now fully awake. It is now only fully becoming clearer to me, that due to my failures, lack of ability, and various other attributes that I have lost, and that have faded, that because of this, time and fate itself, has exiled me out of the world and new life that I was so close to fully obtaining, that was in reach, that which now, remains a dimmed, pleasant, yet occasionally haunted memory within my mind.  Many in which I have cherished, and loved are now gone, locked within the world in which I tried to reach, leaving me taking the path of the Islander for the third time within my lifetime. However, even during this beginning period of the Afternoon, the opportunity that has presented itself to me today, is quite better than nothing. The land of Castles in which I currently dwell in now, greatly less significant too the world in which I have been trying so hard to reach, has allowed me to now what seems to be too discover and mend some mysterious timeline, that is within my control, and my control oddly, a timeline, that has once before, been impossible to mend by my human hands. Now that I acquire this great ability, I must prepare myself immensely to properly handle and control this ability without fail, or any sort of complications. With this said, a new period of transformation within me has begun, and once this has fully took place and stabilize, the re-establishment shall begin, along with my journey through time in which I must face in order win the acceptance of time once again.  While my time is surely growing shorter and shorter by the minute, as I know for certain the Dawn of the new Advent will be arriving soon, and while I am still residing in the beginning of the Afternoon, I never underestimate the speed of time. Many have left, and even are leaving my side up until now. Very few people remain in my heart, but I know that it is my will, and my will only, that will truly bring me back to the state in which I need to be.

Resurrection: The Foggy Path Ahead

——————-

As the warmth begin to arrive, and the snow begins to melt, I sense a period of alteration is now on the rise. Now that I have finally awoken once again, I am able to think more clearly about the critical choices, and decisions that must be made shortly ahead on this path. However, with so many possible outcomes, and every decision leading me to a unknown result, this path in which I am supposed to follow back into the world in which I was exiled from, is now beginning to look quite un-clear. This state, unsettles me quite so. However, on the bright side, I now know the safer actions I must take, to ensure stability on this path. Now that my mind is awake once again, I am more prone to the common distractions, and knock offs that would in which generally pose a threat to me, if I were not fully awake. This gives me a great advantage on this road back to the strange foreign land.

“Islander 3” A Second Chance, The Islander Path.

———–

For some reason, my failures and mistakes never seem to cost me my life. However, this time around, I was punished more strictly than I have ever been punished before. Exiled from the mysterious land I was, and now thrown into this strange land, where times seems to tick at an unnoticeable pace.  In this land, at this time, I lie here in a daze, any second ready to rise. My future is at a steak it has never reached before. I worry now, knowing deep down inside if one curtail path is missed, it can alter the time that lies ahead. Though these sharp flashbacks of my failures still stab my mind, and my hearts longings, still growing stronger everyday. I know this time around that time must not be waisted. For now a second chance I’ve been given, to walk another lonely path, to grow as I was once meant, to resurrect.

Islander 3: Accepting Defeat

————–

The moment I accepted my own defeat, it felt like a huge burden, that I’ve carried for years, was lifted off my back. However, the thoughts of my failures, and the constant reminding of my foolish mistakes haunted me at every waking hour, and still do until this day. Accepting this defeat was such a bittersweet feeling, but at the same time it was quite painful, considering how close I once was too victory. The day in which I finally fully accepted my defeat, was the day in which I knew and heard the evil that had been lurking behind me throughout what felt like endless days, within the lands of the Plains. This mysterious evil, in this mysterious place, calling out my name in mockery, and bestowing some trecherous plauges  upon me. 

This evil, and all of it’s strange power casted me out of those lands in which I once dwelled. Leaving me here, in this mysterious place, in which reminds me of life itself before the Cavern Walls. This evil cannot be left un-banished. Though my strengths have been bested, and my time has run out, I begin a shorter path now, to once again reach this evil, reach this mysterious place again, and accomplish and obtain what I have been destined to obtain once again. But now, a birthing I have missed is now beginning. A self of me that has been waiting to arise since the day this journey has begun. A healing that has been put off for much too long. In a way, a new life awaits.

Islander 3: Fighting Fate

——-

Fate comes silently, like a crook in the night. However, I feel this tie around fate came during the day, perhaps at the peak of the Afternoon. But I, still indulged within my deep sleep, had failed to realize this.  Shortly after the crashing occurred, not only was I hanging onto a dream, but also hanging onto false hope, blind from what I had missed. To make things worse, I continued to strive within the mess even after the countless oppurtunities for resurrection I was given. This was in which, one thing that hurt me the most.

Being the striver I am, even the brightest glare of failure never really seems to knock me off guard. It is not until I am fully on my knees, hopeless that I admit my defeat, and I assume things will always remain this way. Shortly after the departure, a path was open, a path to success and the opportunity to win the war was at hand. However, still dazed from the Caverns wrath, and weak minded, I lost this opportunity.

Islander 3: The Crashing

———

For one to simply say I was a fool to begin with to pick such dangerous battles, I would have to strongly disagree. For instilled within my mind is the law of Experience & Growth. Since the departure of the Plains up until The Crashing point, the battle was in my favor, so it seemed. However, even during my brightest days within these mysterious lands, I had still felt some important period was missing from this longly prophesied. Though the vision only bestowed how these major events would occur, it did not give much detail, in most cases however, exactly when these major events would occur.

Leading up until this point, I have finally came to a conclusion as to why these Islander paths keep re-occurring within this chaotic timeline of old, that is the old era.

When the angels had first made their arrival and settled onto the new land, a place I would name, until further settling points “New Reedsport”,  I could almost foresee the future, much like I was able to do within the the lands of the Plains. However, at this exact moment, when the angels began to settle, and the snow began to fall. I realized I had been missing apart of this timeline, and this is when the crashing point occurred..

Ending of an Era – A Journey to the New Dawn

——————–

“That time was lost, yet time continued onward” These quotes from the character Lighting herself have stuck with me since I first heard them, and since the day the Cavern collapsed in front of my very tired eyes. However, today, unlike any day before within this journey, have these quotes meant so much, and hold so much meaning. While this day marks the begging of the end of the old era, many fragments of the past are now beginning to become erased, and left behind, far deep within my mind. This essential time is both a great opportunity yet, a great burden as well. To decide what is needed to be forgotten, erased, and what is needed to stay and remain, too dwell with you into the new world.

While I have had to make these decisions myself, they were all for the better, and hope for a greater establishment within the new Advent that is soon rising. But now, a new Healing process begins, and this leaves me looking at all the factors that have caused me the hardships within the past, and letting them all go. Looking at myself, and the sins I have once made, the lies I have once told, and the chaos, hurt, and pain I have once caused and ridding – erasing it all.

To those who I have crossed paths with, clashed swords with, injured, or destroyed, my apologies cannot change the past, but my healing can alter the future.  While now it has been brought unto me that my second awakening has now arrived, final sleep, and one final awakening must be made until I can reach the New Dawn. Throughout this time period, my strength will be tested, knowledge will be challenged, and love will be determined. For some of this path I must walk alone, while on other paths great companions will take my side. The test begins now as the dusk quickly approaches on this Era, it is now ending.
