Reading news is depressing. Is this really who we are? #vss365 #emoetry

By some creators bequest
I'm led to believe that this world
- a world we continuously destroy is meant for our existence.
I find myself offended.
offended by all the hatred I see
This constant search for vengeance to treat "others" as worthless dirt
What happened to the golden rule? to treat eachother as we wish to be treated.
Do we all wish eachother ill?

As she continued along the path, Malin thought of the life she had left behind. She had left a bequest to the town she had resided in, if they ever decided to go to her cottage. Hopefully they would survive the dark age to come with the knowledge left behind in her old home. She still has most of it in her memory anyway.

The path led her to what seemed like residential tents, but nobody was to be seen around them. She hoped that her arrival hadn’t offended them, that they would give her a chance.

Watching people take their orders, on film or in parties baffles me. An introverts take on such things using the prompts from #vssdaily, #empetry and #vssmagic as I sip a morning tea to soothe my raspy throat! #poetry #ramblingsofalunatic

Party drinks (30.09.26)

The man in the movie asks
"Martini, shaken - not stirred" and I'm left to wonder
- what good does shaking do?

I hope you won't be offended by my lack of knowledge
I've just never been a drinker
- just haven't had the desire.

Parties make me squirm
It's never been my scene
Too loud, to noisy
- not my scene at all

#vss365 reprieve My last scribble of the day May the universe make us a better species tomorrow Good night to all

When one considers
the reality of human behaviour one can not at all conceive of a species more cruel.
Engaging in meaningless wars focusing on differences instead of what connects
I fear there is no reprieve our species is lost.
unless we start living in tune with the universe

As I sit watching something I don’t even pay attention to, these words just appeared. Yes, my life really is so bare. #poetry

Loneliness
gnaws at my soul
The desire for companionship is ever growing.
yet, as the years pass
is it at all possible to share a life?
locked in my routines my life so set.
will ever anyone fit in?

Today’s micro scene:) #VSS365 reprieve #VSSDaily bark #VSSMagic plain #Emoetry nit-picky

29.09.26

Malin felt like a reprieve had finally come. Even as she made her way to the village, it seemed further than in the dream, she sensed nothing that wanted to harm her here. The trees were plain and thin here, their bark like skin stretched around them.

She hoped the village would become welcoming to her, not that she had any reason to be nit-picky about anything she found here. She had willingly left the old world behind after all, and could return if things got too bad.

#vss365 and #emoetry Another doodle, about life, the universe and everything! I’m allowed a few weeks longer, so long as I’m 42, no?

Life (29.09.26)
The world is ruthless no reprieve can be found
Each day will happen, at least until they don't.
Perspective is important only that can impact your day.
No need to be nit-picky
Each day will still happen no matter what, so long as you are alive.
After that, no worries.
It matters not for right now.

Waking up with a cold seemed like a good start for an emoetry poem, as I sniffle my way to work. Might only do a quarter day though. Just need to show my face after two weeks off! #emoetry #nit-picky

The Cold
Waking up with a cold - Don't want to be
- A shower will clear it up! a cup of tea will deal with the rest No need for my colleagues to be nit-picky
- Really, I'm hardly ill at all!
The headaches are getting worse, my throat tight - it's difficult to swallow
"I'm ok! I'm really not sick" I say as I succumb to a violent coughing fit
- Maybe I'm ill after all.

The next installment of my learning to write with a pen again - a fountain pen even, something I’ve never been good at. Got my first computer at age 4. I grew up behind keyboards. Even from 1987! This one inspired by today’s #vss365 prompt #purify with a sneaky inclusion of the #vssmagic prompt…

Air putrid,
land covered by fumes ill smelling air all around.
Acid rain falling
no wind to purify our air Just progress they call it
So removed from nature. is this really the future? or are we just leaving a warning to those that follow.

A new start, finally she has hope. #VSS365 purify #VSSDaily quarry #VSSMagic warning #Emoetry mournful

28.09.26

She appeared in what in daylight seemed like a quarry. But something here made the air feel fresh and clean, much more so than from where she came from.

A part of her was still mournful, for all the people torn into an age of chaos back home. She had tried to warn them, though they only responded by vilifying her.

The hike down to the village would take most of the afternoon. But she hoped this path led to a bright future.

One last look at the world she’s leaving behind. #VSS365 renounce #VSSMagic sparks #Emoetry lonesome

27.09.26

Her bag was already packed, ready to renounce this life she had led. Her former friends though her dead, or at least gone through to another realm. All vestiges of her life was now far behind her.

She was through with her lonesome life, ready to find friends anew. Maybe even someone special. Someone among that new continent full of people.

Outside the land was celebrating, sparks lit up the sky in patterns the wielders that were left could make.

Malin didn’t stay to look at the displays, instead letting the shadows take her to that spot she’d found in her dreams. Ready for a new life.

A handwritten note saying:

I have a dream
it's lived within me for an eternity, nurtured each night I sleep.
I find solace through music swaying along through incensed air.
Life though keeps pushing us apart no matter what the heart wants, the world just isn't built so.
Now I've written these few words firmly onto paper even as my handwriting sucks, at least I've lived at all!

The joy at finding a people she might vibe with #VSS365 nurture #VSSDaily music #VSSMagic firm #Emoetry incensed

26.09.26

She passed over a massive jungle, forests so large nothing in her old world could compare to. Here and there she thought she saw evidence of life, but it was all fleeting. No permanent settlements then.

When she reached the mountains she started seeing villages scattered on the mountainside. Strangely - she heard music. Setting down on firm land a little away from the sound she snuck towards them.

What she saw brought joy to her - her were people who could navigate the world of dreams, people with power like her. Here she could nurture a good life.

But first to wake up and travel here in the flesh. Then she’d slowly introduce herself.

Searching for a new home… #VSS365 reckon #VSSDaily record #VSSMagic refrain #Emoetry hesitant

25.09.26

By her reckoning, land should be approaching now. She wanted to refrain from travelling to any populated area, knowing the people would be hesitant to trust her if she just appeared beside a shadow inside the town.

When she did travel though, she would turn the door to her cave home solid, so as to seem to leave no record of her time there - while at the same time keeping her hideaway so she could return some time in the future.

Ahead of her clouds were tighter. She hoped that meant land was below. Now, to find the villages - and one she wanted to try living in.

Searching for a new home, the hunger for change. The gratification when finally a soul can settle in the right location. Like a swan finding its perfect lake.. #VSS365 hunger #VSSDaily location #VSSMagic swan #Emoetry gratified

24.09.26

In the realm of dreams, this alternate dimension allowed her to glide above the clouds, riding strong winds like a swan while seeking the destination her soul craved.

High over the oceans she drifted, watching for land to appear. By chance, she had found the site she wanted, yet her memory was not enough to reach it through the shadows. She required a complete understanding of the place first.

She believed that once she rediscovered that location, she would feel content. No longer fleeing or hiding. Free to be herself and create a new direction.

23.09.26

She thought back to her youth, not that she appeared all that old in this day at all. But when she had first left her home, full of the passion of youth, she had thought that she’d soon find her life’s purpose.

The power she felt within would’ve led to a terminal end if the people back then had found out. There had been frantic attacks on people accused of being witches in those days.

Her and Lewis had worked for centuries to better the stories, form and shape the world - even before Lena had joined them.

Now she was to leave it all behind.

22.09.26

The crowds had been exuberant after the enemy had been defeated. Malin knew her time here had passed. It was time to embark on new adventures.

She looked towards the eastern horizon. I’ve been there. That’s a wild land, where there still to this day live people clad in rough furs. No, I’ll travel to the west. To the villages I saw there. They seem close to the society I knew in my youth.

So as the sun set outside her cavern hideaway, Malin entered the world of dreams once more. To find where she could portal to.

21.09.26

The clouds she had summoned to help douse the fire had started to take on a stormy appearance. Her ears almost popped from the pressure change, but any thoughts of stopping it she quickly discarded. The display of power needed would light as a beacon for miles.

With water splashing around her she led the mare to a pole, and fastened her there. The farmer was coming back out of the burning barn, but the flames were lessening.

She smiled and offered him her condolences, but that due to the change in weather she needed to tend to her own. He thanked her for helping calm the mare.

She walked till she was out of view, and let the shadows take her home.

20.09.26

Her jaw clenched. Malin petted the mare, soothing some of her pain, just a little, there, better? The farmer had gone into the barn to rescue as many things as he could - a nice pile of objects were now in front.

The barn though, it was creaking. If he wasn’t careful he’d get crushed under the burning structure.

Just two years earlier this would’ve been unthinkable. Firetrucks had come, maybe even power users. They’d try to save the barn. Now, now nobody came, nobody watched it burn. The smoke should be visible from town though.

19.09.26

Heading back towards her farm Malin noticed smoke coming from one of her neighbours. Rushing over it became apparent that his stable had caught fire.

Calling on the weather she induced the clouds above to start raining, quickly dousing the flames.

“Is there anything I can do?” She asked the farmer.

He looked pained. “Can you hold her? The mare has been a good companion, it’s sad, but I think there is some meat left in her.”

The mare was blemished, likely caught in the outskirts of the fire. She felt sorry for the creature and sent soothing energies to calm her. She could heal her, but that would give her away as a sorceress. She did not dare.

Retreating from the hornet’s nest her chest tightened. Her former friends had turned on her, refusing to explore other explanations than that she was wicked.

Even just looking at the meeting from her vantage point in the world of dreams the betrayal stung. They had alienated her without offering her a way to explain herself.

Malin closed the viewing portal and headed home. She’d fight the true evil regardless of what those in the tower thought of her. Maybe they’ll see through my actions who I really am…

From where she was sitting on the ledge outside her cavern hideaway, she could almost see the raging battle. The fighters that were most active were the zealous ones. The ones who are completely brainwashed by the council’s lies. Or the lies of the darkness…

She would join them once the pieces were coming into place, trusting the council’s plans would push the enemy towards the trap. Then, only then would she tug her strings from the shadows…

No, her part in it was barely in its infancy. So much has to happen first. But my pieces are in play… she’s retreat to the world of dreams, where she could spy from - unseen…

The air had flipped, no longer burning summer, more gently autumnal. It seemed once the creatures were gone the whole world changed.

On the plains, wounded lay in trampled fields of gladioli. Their colourful petals strewn on the ground, making it look almost pleasant.

Malin wove a glamour and moved among the fallen, offering prayers to the dead, and slipping weaves of power into those who could use it, careful to not be noticed by any of the ones from the tower.

Despite being unconvinced this plan would work, there was a sanguine feeling growing inside her.

The fighters of the tower were becoming more involved, which seemed to have turned the tide a little. Now that most of the creatures had been caught in the trap, the enemy forces had begun to wind down - less convinced of their stance now that they had seen their gods trapped.

But there were still three of the creatures - and Elon - left to deal with, even as she pulled on her shadow strings they fought and battled to fiercely to completely fall into the trap.

When they first got together, Lena, Lewis and herself, in their esoteric group. The first three known wielders of the power.

At least that’s what they believed, at the time. They tried for centuries to curate the developing world, making it into a beautiful, well functioning society.

As more wielders came over the ages. Her and Lewis had started pulling back, let the younger generations take charge. But Lena had kept leading. If that leadership had been different, maybe this war hadn’t lasted this long.

Maybe they hadn’t all hunted her.

In her bag she found an old letter, eloquently written by the man she still love. It was an invitation to see the solar eclipse, as his attaché.

He always had such honour, she missed him so much. The darkness had really destroyed him, making his last years a nightmare, his mind too soon gone.

She wondered why her mind hadn’t been affected by the darkness, maybe her connection to the creature had shielded her, somehow.

Walking back into what once was her hometown, wondering how much had actually changed. The feel was almost the same, except all the buildings were new.

She wasn’t naive. She had been gon almost three millennia, nobody here even remembered the town was that old. The cabin she had to escape from when all this started was no more. Farmland for someone else now.

Her little vice, well, a big one really, of using the power of the darkness to peer into the veil between worlds. She wanted to see how it looked there, but not here, not in front of all these people…

The broth was… tasty, she couldn’t quite describe the spices they had put in but it was good. In one corner a few musicians were playing a mélange of music, all of it unfamiliar - yet, some Melodie’s reminded her of a time long past.

Inside her mind the creature was banging against her wards, it felt like a hammer being constantly thrust at her. She pushed back, locking it behind more pressure.

Though, why had the creature woken up? It had been silent ever since she had settled in that mountain village a thousand years ago.

Maybe something was happening, like the prophesy told.

When you return to a place that has forgotten you, what do you expect? #VSS365 intuition #VSSDaily reception #Emoetry health positive hiatus!

Not that she expected a tearful reception when she returned to her old land. Thousands of years had passed, and a new prophecy was to be heeded.

Her intuition was clear, though. Heading straight for the capital she found the city exactly as she thought. Ruled by women so weak in the power yet so confident in their abilities.

She thought back to what the Edroth had said, that power came from their bond to the Light. Though, she also knew a bond to Darkness could yield power.

And although Aludim bonds gave strength, she thought these magicians were not all connected to Edroth at all, but proof of a latent connection to the Light instead.
