Intro

There is a time when all of us stand on the outskirts of the city and peer into the wilderness. We all make the journey there to contemplate our side in a significant war between the unconfined, wild world of nature, and the safe and orderly world of mankind. Some of us will cower in fear of the unknown and disorderly appearance of nature, while others will embrace the rugged world and banish from society. Some of us will attempt to mesh between them. Regardless of our choice, one must always remember our roots into this world – Mother Earth. To deny her is to ignore and disregard emotion, passion, and truth, and though you may strive to be successful and righteous, you will all return to her some day. In death shall come our peace.

There is no escaping the darkness.

Darkness


Ever since I first became awakened to the idea of Truth, I realized there was a balance to the world. There is no ultimate good or evil, but merely a blend of different shades of gray. Merely a child, I was brought into a pack of vampiric lupes, and seeing their power and strength was tempting. I saw their lies like the words of a God when they spoke to me of their all-powerful darkness, of the passion and the blood and the freedom. I soon found myself before the fangs of my soon to be Master, pledging allegiance.

I did not comply.

What held me back was this feeling that it was wrong. At least to me, I felt I was not evil, though I slowly began to embrace their ways, regardless. We (the others about, some vampires and some not) grew together as friends, the lot of us, and I became one of their companions. I miss them to this day. I was the Alpha of Darkness in those days, as my nature was harsh and honest. I always had a profound understanding of myself, so there were none of the problems my younger sister struggled with. It was a good time of learning for me what it meant to be in power, and what darkness truly meant. However, I met setbacks.

Around this time, I was craving love. Attention, devotion, feeling, I always was deeply passionate and fiery. I need not go into detail of what my life was like during these times of meeting other males and even having children with them, but change occurred. I drifted from my family of sorts, and formed my own. That is when I succumbed to the fangs.

For a very long time, I was a vampire. I remember it distinctly, sad as it may be. I remember the wings I had, I remember the blood, I remember the passion for all sorts of emotions and the new look on life. I STOLE life, I was above life! Life was my source of food, now, the blood of my victims and their souls. Some would say this is when I was truly the Alpha of Darkness, but I disagree. After a near death experience, my body was purged of the demon blood and I was what one would call 'born again'. I stayed away from that life for a long time afterwards, and tended to my children and partner.

Time passed. My sister died, my partner disappeared, and my children disappeared. Lost, I fled to the woods to which I came, back to the old lands from which I was brought up in. I saw the faint imprints of the old life and I made my camp there. It was then, and only then, that I rested in seclusion for over a year. I reflected, I survived, and I thought.

My children have moved on, and in subtle ways I know they are well. My partner I could care less for and I now realize we were foolish to come together aside from the desire of pups. To my sister, I learned from her death and what gifts she had been blessed with, I now try to keep alive. But more so than ever, I have come to a certain point where I can clearly understand my place.

I am a fearless beast of the wood. I know no other laws than what nature intended. Darkness is not evil; darkness is not the minions of the underworld. It is the power invested in us all to achieve peace with nature and ourselves. Being creatures of rational though, we strive to create order in a chaotic world of destruction, death, rebirth, and life. We strive to undo the laws and balance of nature! I am for darkness not because I want to create havoc and suffering, but for my world and myself and the preservation of the cycle of life. I am allowed any and all of my instincts and emotions, and I will deal with them in the best way for me to survive and respect the world around me. Darkness is the realization that we are a part of the great river of life. Darkness is loyalty to life.

Quote Calli, Evil is live spelt backwards.



Magic


Don't let anyone ever tell you that magic does not exist. Granted, I cannot explain all forms of it, nor do I understand where it comes from, but I have both witnessed and practiced magic. Magic is the art of manipulating, pure and simple. Whether we are manipulating energy, life, or emotions, it is the control and altering of some thing. There are numerous forms of magic, but I am only familiar with a few forms of magic.

The Dark Arts are often referred to as maniacal work, but I beg to differ. It is only how a user uses the gifts provided. All things can be good or bad, and even something so ominous as the Dart Arts can have its good points. It involves the summoning of your own personal energy to aid you. It takes a long time to master, and there are few true masters in this land. They are only taught to the strong of mind and heart, for they can consume a being not of good health and you cannot self-teach yourself this practice.

Healing, or White Magic, is the power to create mini-miracles. One generally manipulates energy from light to heal another creature or being. This is another form of magic that is not practiced so often, and is difficult to learn. You must be pure of heart to even begin to perform any kind of work in this field. Often, Healers will use natural forms of medicine as well as their powers to aid them, as they do not trust technology. Who would, really? Most of us suffer from misanthropy, it seems.



Training


Ever since I was born, I've been visiting Mystery Island to train with the Master. I have been learning his ways for years, now, and though for a long time I took a break, I am now retraining. I missed my hours spent training there and now I hope that I shall become as strong as I had wished back when I was a pup.

Codestones, as well, fascinate me. I often wonder what the symbols on them mean, but the Master has not shared with me that secret. However, these sacred stones give me the powers I need to be able to fight, so I'll always be on the hunt for them so that I may train harder.

Reading


Yes, I am an avid reader. I have met many a neopet that ignores all of the books that the world has to offer and I must shun them. Although I cannot say that I am not selective in my material (with lack of funds, too!), I try to read as often as possible in the subjects I am interested in. I read magic books, books about faeries, encyclopedias are good to have around, and books about the qualities of other neopets. If you think there's a good book around that I should read, I'd love to know about it! I think for the holidays I'd enjoy books more than anything as a gift, too. A vital part of training is knowledge and I am forever in search of a good read.



Lyrics

Metallica - Wherever I May Roam

...and the road becomes my bride
I am stripped of all but pride
so in her I do confide
and she keeps me satisfied
gives me all I need

...and with dust in throat I crave
only knowledge will I save
to the game you stay a slave
rover wanderer
nomad vagabond
call me what you will

but I'll take my time anywhere
free to speak my mind anywhere
and I'll redefine anywhere
anywhere I may roam
where I lay my head is home

...and the earth becomes my throne
I adapt to the unknown
under wandering stars I've grown
by myself but not alone
I ask no one

...and my ties are severed clean
the less I have the more I gain
off the beaten path I reign
rover wanderer
nomad vagabond
call me what you will

but I'll take my time anywhere
I'm free to speak my mind anywhere
and I'll never mind anywhere
anywhere I may roam
where I lay my head is home

but I'll take my time anywhere
free to speak my mind
and I'll take my find anywhere
anywhere I may roam
where I lay my head is home

carved upon my stone
my body lie, but still I roam
wherever I may roam

My Sister

To my Kalli,
Let what afterlife there may be spare your soul of any torture and pain. This life you led gave wounds beyond the share most of us are meant to handle. In my own very eyes, I have witnessed your birth and death, and I understand you. I love you. I feel your ghostly eyes watching me where I reside. And since that day, you knew that I loved you. There is no guilt in our decisions, Kalli. In your honor, I will keep your secrets, and I will share the love you so desired to give.

. And to your love, bless his heart, I hope his soul may mend as well. I know the two of you are together, and free, as you both were meant to be.


Yes, Kalli, I have her bandana.



Friends

My friends have come and gone.. I have not seen the likes of any of my old companions at all. The search is on, however, and I know I'll be reaquainted with them soon.

Shaduw
My first companion, Shaduw and I stayed together throughout the years until more recently. He was a rather strong and apathetic individual, but we found enough care for each other to stick together. He was almost always there when I needed him, as well. I'd fancy to see him again, he was much like a brother I did not have.

Mettoba
Although a rather new companion, Met has definitely proven himself to be priceless. Younger than I, I marvel at his attention to details, opinions and knowledge of this world. I forsee that the two of us will do great things in the future as he is very ambitious and I have longed for a soul like his to share some of my dreams with. He's also wiped away any ill feelings I had for kougras.



Vrexae

Rex is a little Airax I found one day in the jungle of Tyrannia while I was exploring. He's a fascinating little creature, often flying off for long periods of time and returning with little 'treasures'. I find him a very nice companion that is often like my third eye.

However, I've noticed that Vrexae has strangely started to.. change. Shapeshifting. I do not know what is causing it, but he's turned into some interesting creatures lately. He doesn't appear to mind the change, but I wonder if he'll return to his airax form.


It seems he's been remaining in this form for a while, rather content! He has the appearance of the dead and floats around often making strange noises and uttering what seems to be some kind of scripture. I wonder..

Besounder Stones


You may have noticed that I have crafted little stone amulets that you may take with you when you leave here. Perhaps they were of no interest to you. However, these very crystals are precious to me for two reasons: My sister Kalli was the one who first harvested them in a sacred mine, and they hold amazing power. I recall the day she brought them home to me and, with astonishment, I quickly learned from her which were useful for what and how to retrieve them. They are a secret that I will not share with anyone, however, I will bless a few souls with their power to aid the spirit.

I have crafted with gold chains a set of elemental stones that one may wear as amulets to help protect you with the power from the faeries themselves. Your belief in them is rather imperative because the faeries are selective in those they lend aid to. According to what they represent, these stones can assist you in trying to find those certain qualities in your life or in your own decisions. They are an aid and should be used properly and not for abuse.

Fire – Fire represents passion, drive, and the physical and material world.
Water – Water represents magic, emotions, and instinct.
Air – Air represents intelligence, understanding, and social awareness.
Earth – Earth represents stability, common sense, and long term obligations.
Light – Light represents goodness, responsibility, and purity.
Darkness – Darkness represents desire, strength, and control.
Spirit - Spirit represents the unknown, fate, and divinity.

Incense


All of my incense is created through hand-dipping. I collect the specific flower and extract their scent oils (which is a somewhat lengthy process, I might add) to use for burning. After, I blend them into a special mixture and dip them onto pieces of wood and let them dry. They burn for about half an hour. Also, the holders are made of wood and are burnished to be smooth and easy to clean. I have hand carved them all! I usually add stones, as well, to the end of the holders.

Tails


Currently, I have only Lupe and Kougra tail adoptables that you may take home and enjoy. Each one is made of faux cybunny fur and dyed to the coats of lupes and kougras! I have added on pieces of string for you to hang them with. There are numerous uses for these tails but you can take a few home merely for collecting. One day I hope to craft more neopet tails.

Candles


Each candle is hand-made. I personally collect the wax and dyes from nature to create them, and then I melt my ingredients in pots over a small fire and pour them into molds. Candles really add to the atmosphere! I suggest you take as many as you like, and you can come back for more any time!

Dream Catchers


I have now begun to craft dream catchers for you to take home and protect your sleep with! You should hang them above your bed so that when you sleep the web can catch all negative energy and leave only good to enter your dreams. They take a while to make, however, so please be gentle with them! I make them around metal rings with leather strips, fur, and feathers that I find as scraps.
