@iron shocker.. Because i said it a few pages ago? Or was there someone else with a bad rep named rang that i may be accidentally impersonating? Or good? Or at all?
believing in "god" with the motivation of 'just in case' isn't a noble or legitimate reason to dedicate yourself to a religion. religion is made up by men. a way for ancient mankind to try understand their environment around them. there's no proof whatsoever. if there was, religious followers wouldn't be shrinking in size. more people have died and murdered in the name of religion than anything else. humankind has the ability to live moral lives without following a religion.
Sorry for the double post, but I accidently hit post before I could have written -typed- anything. Me? I was picked on constatly as a child. It then followed me to Middle School. There, I learned that the world is a cold, cruel place and that everyone will tear into you if you are weak. When I hit High School, I dedcided to shatter and destroy my heart. I then became cold and lofty and became a writer. When I wrote, I wrote as if I was each character, and that I knew their emotions, heart and soul inside out. I then killed som of those I came to call children. Though they did not exist, I felt that they did and looked on in horror as I wrote their fated deaths. I had in essence become an omnipotent being (I'm not talking about religion, you'll see what I'm talking about later) yet, I could not even save a few lives. I then created divine being in that world, so that I could place the blame on them, and felt the seething hatred of my mortal children. I then watched them shout, scream and demand of the heavens why they lost their loved one. They were promptly struck down. From their, a war between the mortals and divine consumed the world. What I saw was such desperation, that I saw my mortal children fighting against one another for any slice of power they could find, not realizing they were destroying themselves. The divine I made also consumed one another, their single thought of believing that this whole world is a spiral of death, destruction and despair, and that it should save all be destroying everythin then itself. There, I stopped and looked at myself, I felt the hunger and lust for power and had created the thoughts of vegance and strife. I had so much power, yet all I saw was more and more death and destruction. The few times of peace I saw in that world only occurred when I had placed an avatar of myself to directly intervene… but it was never enough to stop my children from warring once more when I left, hoping that the future would be in good hands. I wonder why people crave power, because when you have the ability to see everything, know everything, understand everything, you begin to question human existance, and begin to tread a thin line with savior and destroyer nipping at your heels. So much power, yet, you would be alone. Being a god is a lofty task, one in which you detach yourself from all you created so that they grow, always wishing you could have saved just one. Power is the thing I see as a destroyer of all and I vowed to drag this hell we call life down with me to my grave, sacrificing myself for my generation and the next.
That actually wasn't off topic because it was talking about one of my many failed stories. *sigh* Anyway. Anyone got any good ideas for an execution? I need one for my upcoming chapter in my own story where one of the enemies is offed. And this is a fantasy world, so be creative.
@Zach You are very weird. Often times, people misinterpret my posts, so I'll elaborate: Not weird in a bad way, nor a good way. Just a unique individual, I guess.
When someone says I'm weird, I shrug it off anyway. Who isn't weird these days in some quirky fashion?
The events for your rewrite sound good, just make sure you give enough detail plot wise(you do well with description, maybe too much at times) .
Hmmm, I have amazing plans for the rewrite. Maybe you'll be an antagonist? Maybe you'll be a protagonist. One thing you can sure of: You will be a deceptive character.
Okay, say yesterday, at 5 AM, you arrived in Tige. Today at 4 AM, you were attacked by something. At 5 AM you awoke in prison... Am I making any sense?! I need help with labeling specific parts. If the story begins with Feather in Tige today at twilight (6:30 pm) and flashes back to this morning at 4 AM, then goes ahead an hour, what do I label the first Flashback? I think I just answered my own question!
Bwahaha... I love doing that. I used to rant for a really long time about how 'the question made absolutely no sense and HOW exactly I was supposed to _____,' and then I would realize that in my rant, I answered the question... :3
