    Chapter 1- Balance Awakens



    “Ayumu is the god of dreams. He walks back and forth through people’s sleep, sending them dreams and nightmares. The only time he sends nightmares is when he has seen the bad deeds of those unfortunate to receive the nightmares.” A red winged dragon male said, skimming through a large book. “Ayumu maybe sending you these nightmares.”

    “Why though, Argath?” A golden winged male said. “He’s sending me nightmares about mother! Why?!” A tear ran down the male’s head.

    “Shrukan, calm down.” Argath sighed and put the book away.

    “Calm down?!” Shrukan snarled. “She died nearly seven years ago from now!” Shrukan grabbed a chair and tossed it to the other side of the room, before landing on his knees and crying. “No one cares for her, even all these years ago. We see less people visit her grave every year! No one cares! She was a great mother and yet everyone forgets about what she did!” Shrukan punched the ground, sending a wave of pain up his arm.

    “Calm down, Shrukan!” Argath snarled and pushed Shrukan to the ground, which only seemed to fall back and curl back up. “Shrukan stand up and suck it up.”

    “I can’t…” Shrukan said, tears running down the sides of his face. “Argath. I can’t handle this like you!” Shrukan gasped for breath.

    “I’ve been with her almost as long as you were. I loved her deeply, but I moved on with my life.”

    “And then you married Nava!” Shrukan snarled. “You forgot about my birth mother and you married Nava, like you didn’t even care!!”

    “Shrukan. That is no way to act like a Scalix. You have to suck it up and move on, and don’t disrespect your elders.”

    “The only reason you tell me to not disrespect you is for the scars you bear on your face!” Argath snarled and turned around, walking away from Shrukan. “Yeah! You better turn your back!”

    “Such a disappointment. Your mother would not be pleased that you back talked me.”

    “Hah! Nava doesn’t care!”

    “I meant your birth mother!”

    Shrukan snarled and turned his head. “Hah. What a fool. Mother would have loved me anyways… Would she…?”

    Shrukan stood up and proceeded out the door. He walked over to a nearby stream and looked at his reflection in the water. He appeared depressed. His dark red hair was slightly spiked, naturally, and flowing in the breeze. His eyes were a brilliant blue color, and sparkling. His dragon wings, both golden in color, were folded inward.

  • Love Thread

    Quote from Twistkill

    Loved because she wears a green shirt too often.

    (No, seriously, I could never do that. That shows persistence and tolerance for criticism from others.)

    (Well currently I am wearing all black clothing, and I haven't worn that green shirt in awhile. I must wear it.)

    @ TK: Loved cause he is mature.... :P
    @ Tywar: Liked because he stands up for people.

  • Phantom Hourglass Review (Spoilers Beware!)

    So we have a new game out for the Legend of Zelda series... the Phantom Hourglass. When I picked it up, I knew I was going to be amazed with the controls. Boomerang, Bombs, and the whole sort is still in this game.

    In the beginning of the game, you wake up on Mercay Island. Ciela, a fairy whom lost her memories, follows you on your quest. Linebeck, the salty-sailor you've seen in the official artwork, is trapped in the beginning portion of the Temple of the Ocean King and it was up to you to save him. You later join with hi onto sailing through the Great Sea and gathering up three fairies in the beginning parts of the game.

    After Collecting all of the fairies and gathering up sand for the Phantom Hourglass, you now have to search for three pure metals to forger a sword to defeat Bellum, the main boss of the game. You go through three more bosses, get the sword, and go back to the Temple of the Ocean King.

    Bellum was a hard boss I have to say. For a DS game, bosses were extremely hard at parts, like Gleerok, Bellum, and the Temple of Courage boss.

    After defeating Bellum, while dying about twice through the three part battle, I was watching the end of the game, just before the credits.

    "Well... Linebeck. I'm a man of my word... and for helping Link, you do get your wish... What would it be?" The Ocean King said.

    Linebeck paused for a second and looked to his side. "..Can you bring back my ship... The one that sank?"

    What no treasure Linebeck? I though he wanted treasure!

    "Treasure means nothing to me now." He paused.

    "The Ghost ship will no longer plague your world Link. Please now... Go back to your world... While I go back to mine..." The Ocean King spoke.

    Celia, Leaf, and the others leave while the whole world around Link is covered in a thick fog.

    Link and Tetra wake up on the Ghost Ship after the credits. The pirates come and Tetra and Link jump onto the boat, realizing Linebeck completely disappeared. The pirates claim it was only 10 mins that they had been on the ship. Woah. Ten minutes?! Swore it was a few days.

    Link and Tetra think its a dream before Link pulls out the Phantom Hourglass, realizing it was not a dream. And when he rushes to the other side of the boat, his face is full of joy as he sees not far away...

    Linebeck's Ship....

    Ok. Rating time!

    Gameplay: 10/10

    Using the DS to its fullest was a grand idea. Puzzles were more difficult and required you to use your head more than any other Zelda... in my opinion. Tap a monster to attack, tap to throw a pot, tap to jump onto something. Almost anything could happen!

    Story: 9/10

    Although it lacks in parts, like the Ocean King keeping his identity secret for nearly half of the game, Ciela recovering her memories AT the end of the game during a fight with Bellum, and some other minor parts, the game was fun.

    It finally completed everyone's part near the end of the game, Linebeck finally being brave and nice, Link and Ciela having feelings for one another, and other misc. things.

    Sound: 10/10

    Put it on Surround and at full blast and damn! Makes it feel like you are playing it on the TV! Great sound for everything, nothing too quiet.

    Replayable? 10/10

    Sure. You've beaten it, but there's still things to get, like a few Heart Containers, Ship Parts, and other things.

    Overall: 9.5/10

    A must get for all Zelda fans. Even if you don't like the cell-shading, you have to try it out.

  • Losing weight.

    How much do you weigh? And is the height a requirement to join as well?

    As of now I'm 5'2 1/2" and 190ish (damn cheeseburgers XD), but I really look much less.

    Well I guess you can eat some healthy food and... well yeah.

  • LOZ: Phantom Hourglass Parody (Spoilers OH NOEZ)

    I was going to use more humor in the next chapter anyways. XD

    Chapter One- Temple of the Ocean King

    Fairy: Oh good you are up! I was tired of you talking about wetting yourself.

    Link: I said no thing!

    Celia: My name is Celia! I am the fairy of.... wait. where am I?

    Link: O.o;;

    Celia: Anyways, Grandpa wants to see you!

    --

    Grandpa: What up dawg?

    Link: O_O;;

    Grandpa: Fo Shizzle! You want to help your friend Tetra right? I can readz mindz! *rubs forehead hard and looks at Link* You wet yourself at night!

    Link: What is up with people and my bladder problems?! >(

    Grandpa: To help your friend Tetra and get her from that groovy Ghost Ship, you need to drink beer!

    Link: But I'm under the age limit!!

    Grandpa: Sorry. I was intercepted by aliens.

    Link: Aliens.... o.o;; Ok.

    Grandpa: Go to the Temple of the Ocean King and save Linebeck.

    ---

    Linebeck: *jumps up and down like a stupid child* Mommy!!! I want out!!

    Link: Dude! I'm coming!

    Linebeck: NO!

    Link: O_o

    Linebeck: You need to be careful. This Temple sucks the life out of anyone who enters.

    Link: Then how come you are not dead yet?

    Linebeck: Easy, smart guy! I'm on a safe zone platform! I'm safe for the time being. But if I don't eat or drink soon, my body will die anyways! Strike that switch!!

    Link: *runs and strikes switch, leaving Linebeck to run out and escape.*

    Linebeck: Take this key! It'll unlock many mysteries. *Twilight Zone music plays*

    Link: Odd... Whatever!

    *unlocks door and finds map*

    ---

    Linebeck: Awesome. So we got us a map.

    Grandpa: Fo shizzle! You found a map! Hey... Its a bit flaky. Gross. Rub it!

    Link: *rubs and finds a symbol on an island to the due south*

    Linebeck: I bet you can find some good treasure there!

    Link: Maybe something to help get onto the Ghost Ship and save Tetra!

    Linebeck: Come on kid... I need someone on the ship to help me clean.

    Link: I am no maid!

    Linebeck: Then I guess you and your little quest is over.

    Link: *Link has learned to be a maid! Forget which of the following?:

    -Lazy?
    -Warrior Hero
    -Ultimate Strike
    -Strong and Gallant!

    POOF! Link has forgotten how to be Lazy. Link has learned to be a maid!*

    Ah crap!

    Linebeck: Come on kid! There's a lot of poop on the poop deck!
