Blue. They were blue – his eyes, and I had always known it and yet it was the kind of colour I had never beheld before in my life. Lighter than night sky and darker than any lake. As dark as he was, he should have had black or brown eyes, perhaps even golden, just like his skin. Not the cold, dark, deep blue that robbed my soul from me and never gave it back, so you see, I died with you.

He stared at me and he most certainly wasn’t afraid. They had bound him well, I could see that. He lay in my power and possession, yet he would never surrender to me. I could take him and yet never have him. He was no slave, I already knew that.

Elian. His name was Elian and he was beautiful. I took him because he was beautiful and when he first told me his name, it sounded like music. Elian.

No. I am not lost. I am not. I know exactly where I am, so I am not... lost. I will just walk a little and then I will be back at the lights of Lomea Nennin. I am not too deep, I am not too far. My classmates did not just run away, abandoning me like a bunch of cowards.

Perhaps not cowards. Think, Cronachan. Were they cowards, or were they clever and you a fool, a trusting fool, thinkin

A moment in time, chap.8I can still remember the fear that now came over me, crashing against the rocks of my mind as one of those thundering waves of the Ice Sea could do. For just a few seconds I panicked and so I stood there, numb, unable to move, until Icedrop came to my aid. He entered my mind, he gave me push and he pulled at the strings of my mind. The fear was sickening, but with my mate's truthful aid I was able to overcome it. When I did, my body burst to motion. My own nakedness hardly bothered me, but his did. A robe was not enough, so I hurried over to my closet and grabbed a few of the most heavily fur lined cloaks I had. I wrapped those around him and

Why these? because I saw something special in each. It might have been quality, or the mood, or what was portrayed, or HOW it was portrayed, but for each one there is ONE thing: it stood out amongst the others.

REMEMBER TO:

Use them. Fave them. Comment them. Follow the rules. Enjoy the art.
