Who are you?

One day, a light flickered inside me.

It was a white radiance, cooler than a candle or a star, yet a consuming fire all the same.

It was a part of me, that was always veiled but ignited, like ...

Texixilihua (Huitzilocatl terriblis)

 12 million years from now, the world's apex predator is a rather unusual one. A bird, the texixilihua is an almost exclusively aerial animal, spending most of its life on the wing aside nesting....

Gondwana recommendations list

Just a recommendations list for people who want things like an unfrozen Antartida, unsunken Zealandia, brand new gondwanna derived/continent island (i.e. Lemuria).

Here's a list of ...

Ferdinand and Coco: setting standoff

Having just watched Ferdinand, I think it’s reasonably okay. It didn’t betray the book’s original message (unlike virtually every other Blue Sky Studios adaptation has), it actually onl...

MTG: Planeswalker's Guide to Baoth

Only bits and pieces of information of Baoth's distant past remain. Some speak of a glorious paradise, created by a powerful angel, whose error would condemn her to eternal regret. Others of ...

Return to Ulgrotha: Jadis

 She waited.

The entire world dried, slowly yet agonisingly, and she waited.

The undead marched across the realms, adding more to their master's grim forces, and she waited.

The Moon

You come to me in the horizon, lord of duality.

Behold, you are both light and dark, black as despair and white as death.

You stare, with your single eye, from what is both Heaven and the Abys...

The bones are cast in the ground.

Look!

The first bone falls to the East. It rolls, its yellow skin peeled. It is the earth, its flesh hiding gold, plants growing on the ...

White Lantern Snowflame Oath

 In the light of the Brightest Day
When someone calls that is gay
Lets stay up for all Blackest Night
And burn like coccaine's might! 

Zodiac Sun Rooster

 I am a rooster,
A fucking solar rooster,
Got any problem? 

Flamingos

 Fire upon water,
Wings open to embrace Sol,
Ra's soul exalted.

Metal is Yin, an

 Do not insult my
Eros when your Agape is
Disgusting and fake. 

White Lantern Oath

 The Brightest Day falls from the skies
May the foul dead shield their dark eyes
Burn as the white star fire descends
Not a light that dies, but that ascends!

Exhaling a silver wind,

Light protogenoi.

Of the boundless horizon,

Of cleansing light.

Horse of shining mane

 Atarau’s efforts bore fruit. From her cover amidst the clouds, she could  see the forest canopy beneath her ripple like waves, spreading across  the mountain slopes.
