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.

A moment in time, chap.1

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. Just try and say it, try and taste it as it flows down your tongue like ice, melting. Ice becomes water, water turns into steam that rises into the heavens and there it is – gone.
So is he. Elian. I tell myself that I set him free but I know that I killed him.
I only meant to have him, never love him. There is no such word in my language. We possess others, we take and have them, cast them aside when we no longer desire, but we do not love. Love is his word and once he asked me if I do

LostLost. I cannot be lost. A helmorui warrior is never lost. Not in a million, billion years. Only little boys are lost. So are you lost, Cronachan of the House Fanai? Are you lost, little, pathetic, your torch withering? A shame, are you a shame to your House?

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

Hello again, fellow stockers and stock lovers

I've had a very, very busy week. How have you been?
Well, judging by the size of my inbox and all the goodies out there in the stock gallery I'd say stockers have had a busy week as well.

In my last article I was talking about sxc.hu and manipulated backgrounds. Now there's an article about it -

FOR THE LOVE OF STOCK, DON'T DO IT! - [link]

Snow went away. *sniff*
But enough of rambling, let's get to the pictures.

As promised, as done - featuring a picture that was made using one of the wonderful stock pictures I featured.
Hats off for Rick -

The deal goes on: you make a pic using some of these resources and I'll feature you right here

Just lemme know.

And now, the stock stars! *insert chimes here*

Thank you so very much for featuring one of my "Pink Ceramic Rose" stocks.

I'm new to providing stock, and worried about it being of use to people, and if people are actually seeing it to think about using it... So this is very appreciated!
