The Call of Destiny: Part one (Destiny arises) journal entry for: Saturday, February 16, 2008 today's crossovers:

continued from here

I arrived on the home of the Rebel command against the Corru Empire. After a ceremony, Kameal told me that they would hit one of the largest Corru Military cities and that they expected to loose 95% of their troops.
I was shedding tears for the task that had been given me, the crown that had been placed on my head was too heavy and just didn't fit.

What would I say to these men... After urging me to get some rest Galen left. (So I thought) A man appeared and there were shots fired.

I remember a burning sensation striking me in the chest at my shoulder and then a warm sensation slipping over me quickly...

From the flickering I realized it was a shield.. For a moment I heard Galen's voice and then I could hear nothing but the beating of my heart and my breaths that were hard to take...

I am not sure how long I was laying in pain as it seemed everything around me was slipping away, only the warmth of a body pulling at me and then someone calling to me...

It was Galen and he sounded so far away. "Stay with me Justice, help is coming."

He had his hand over the wound and I could feel heat coming from his hand as well as a pickle of a thousand needles...

Galen said he was healing me. I felt so protected lying his arms that I gave myself to him, releasing my weight so that he could support me. I was to tired to try to hold myself up anyway.

Suddenly my brother came busting in with Shiara...

"Get me a Doctor!" Galen yelled... That was the last thing I heard before I slipped into darkness...

When I woke I found my brother standing up , on guard and watch. He looked tired...
"Wha.." I tried to speak noticing the tubes running from me to machines...

HS came to me, "Justice take it easy... Someone tried to kill you but thankfully Galen was there to save you. The doctors say if he didn't heal you that you would have died."

He hung his head, "I am sorry. I was after some Mercs but... I should.."

"NO, you did fine HS." I grabbed my brother and hugged him.

HS took my hand, "I told the General that we were taking you home. The troops will have to go without you. As soon as the doctors say you are strong enough."

I went to protest but he just turned and walked out...

Was it wrong that a part of me was glad to go home? but another part was screaming at me, nagging at me.. 95% that kept going through my head...

I need to think so I rose got dressed and took a walk, I looked out over the cliffs and walked along the beaches

When the others found me they were no happy I had wandered off...


We gathered in the great dining room. Kameal looked haggard...


"Before you I beseech you, address the troops." She asked humbly, "I truly feel they will have a greater chance if there morale was lifted and that is your purpose."

"You just don't care do you!" HS yelled...

"I care I.." Kameal began but was interrupted when Shiara and HS all were yelling about how I had been put through enough...

"ENOUGH!" I said rising and throwing my napkin on the table, "ALL OF YOU JUST STOP IT!"

I ran out and back to my room...


Soon Galen appeared... I said nothing just stared out the window...

After staring at my back for some time in silence he spoke, "Penny?"


I glance over my shoulder... he continued, "for your thoughts. I am a great listener."

I sighed and then spoke, "Galen I have come to a decision. One that will make many unhappy. HS, Shiara and even General Kameal. I need your support in this matter." I turned to face him...

"If I may ask what is that decision?" He looked puzzled...

"I will give my decision tonight when I address all the troops. I hope you will be on my side when I do." I turned away again...

He stood his eyes peering me in the back with a concern look...

For the rest of the day I refused to be seen... I would not even see HS, no one until I walked out to address all who would hear...

I would not just address these troops here but the transmission would be sent out too all the rebel bases and ships. I told the man not to scramble the transmission. What I had to say would be heard by everyone... Even Earth...



Everyone gasp as I walked out... "Before I fully address you I think I must thank the one who save my life. " I walked to Galen and gave him a kiss...

Then I turned to the troops and placed on my head a battle Helm....

As I spoke I felt something in my heart burn ....

"For a long time The Corru Empire has killed our peoples, rapes our homes and worlds and taken all that we have but they failed to take our SPIRIT and our FIRE... You have been patient, you have tried diplomacy and talk but this is not the time for idle chatter... Bah! this is the time for WAR! because it is what they want and it is what they deserve! Tonight we give our answer that the line has been drawn and we will not be bullied any more!!! Tonight I go to show the the Corru that I am not afraid of them and fully intend on defeating them. When the sunrises tomorrow all will know that the Corru Empire is not as strong as they think. I go to fight and I invite you to join me in this battle."

And everywhere Rebel troops cheer and yell, "We are with you!"

continued here... and here

A Masquerade Ball journal entry for: Tuesday, February 12, 2008 today's crossovers:

It's for a Party

It took some begging but my parents let me go to the Carnival without HS.

Lady Melissa had a mansion but not like ours. She had bought an old town and had the buildings rebuilt to look Vinician. Then she dug out the streets and filled them with water. So it was like being in Venice.

It was beautiful. I wasn't sure how she new me.

I only saw her from a far as guest poured in...




As first it was cool. Music, confetti candy dancing...

It was almost magical, It really was hard to believe this was real.




So many people came in such colorful costumes...
There were so many masks... Not to mention the beads that were being tossed..

but something was strange about it all...


"Have a dance my pretty?" the old creepy guy asked...


I ran, I ran and it was weird... The Venice like town vanish and I was like lost in this bizarre world.




I crumbled to the ground and cried...








Maybe I shouldn't have come here...
Another weirdo came up dancing. "Would you like to dance?"

"No she wouldn't! She is with me!" I turned to the voice and saw Galen...

The creep ran and some of the weirdness went away...


"Galen?" I said standing up...

"Hello, Justice. I see Lady Melissa has invited you to one of her shin-dins." Galen stood handsomely in a costume reassembling that of a British Soldier.

Seeing I was confused he continued, "She is a technomage. Shiara told her about you and she wanted to get a look at you. I do apologize for the weirdness but... Lady Melissa is ... unique in her taste... and entertains equally unique lifeforms."


I smiled, "British Soldier?"

"I thought it appropriate.." He stated and I about melted when he smiled.

I took the arm he offered and was lead back to the make believe Venice where Galen and I danced.

After Galen told me we would go to where I need to make the speech in his ship. So we met Shiara and HS and left for the Rebel base

A year in a day journal entry for: Friday, September 28, 2007 today's crossovers:

We freed HS and Shiara... Fought these walking trees and managed to get to Fellsworn City.


HS got us rooms at the Silent Lambs. HS room was next to Shiara's which was across from my room. My room was next to Galen's and we shared a balcony with other guess...

Galen left to sit at the bar to speak with some Wizards and witches and HS, Shiara and I went upstairs to get some sleep.


I couldn't sleep I was wondering about Ker and Norn. I should have brought them. I was sitting on the Balcony tossing stones over into the pond below, when I heard the Innkeeper enter Galen's room.

I changed into a small lizard and climbed into Galen's room to investigate..

I saw Galen walk in behind the Innkeeper... "Is there sometin' wrong with the room sir?"

"No I just prefer to stay in my ship." Galen said.. I scampered across the wall and climbed into Galen's cowl which was lowered.

"Ship you say?" He clicked his tongue at Galen, "okay okay... I will refund the money if you like in the morning."

They left and Galen continued out toward the cities gate where he entered his ship, it was cloaked so I didn't see it until he entered...

He kept his ship fairly dark. Galen proceeded to his room where he pulled off his cloak and tossed it on the bed (Unknowingly tossing me with it.)

He unbutton his shirt and threw it on the bed too... His back was toward me and I could see .... Well techno devices attached to him, actually it was a part of him...

I sat observing as he pulled off his boots, then his pants and clothing. Then he stepped into what appeared to be a shower but there was no water just energy..

I changed from the lizard. His room was dark and you couldn't see anything then like Magic it changed into a room with a window. I stumbled on some books lying on the floor. I sat and realized I was naked. Galen must of heard me because he came immediately from his shower... "Shiara is that..." He drew up his hand "Who are you and how did you get ...."

"Galen, it's me. I... I," Looking down at where I was sitting, "Guess I should ask Shiara to show me how she does the clothes thing..." I shrugged, "I am used to having Norn and Ker carry my clothes, so I didn't think about it this time."


"Justice? Damn Shapeshifters! So how long have you been practicing your new hobby?" He sneered.

"Hobby?" I said

"As a voyeur!" He snapped throwing me some of Shiara's cloths


I smiled, "You have a lot book just lying around..."


"They belong to Shiara, She doesn't know the meaning of neat and tidy. Go in there and get dressed." Galen said as he grabbed a shirt, "After, we are going to have a talk, you and I!"



"I like how the Ship interior change," I shouted around a corner," its a holograph isn't it."


"You know Justice there is this thing called privacy." He answered, "I do not wish to hurt your feelings but you are way to young for me. Your what 13. Also you change your appearance more than a woman changes her clothes.."

"Actually the guess is 15 but technically I am just over a year old."
I sighed...

"Well, you should find someone ..." Galen's voice became distorted... I could feel it it was another growth spurt... I collapsed breathing heavy and blacked out...

When I woke I was laying in Galen's bed. A wash cloth on my forehead. He was a sleep in a chair across the room. I looked down... under the covers, I was wearing a loose shirt of Galen's...

I had some growing. I sat up and Galen popped his eyes opened...

"Are you okay?" He asked gently. He looked as if he thought he was at fault..

"I am fine, I have had worse like when I was running from the Corru. " I shifted a bit..

"So this wasn't triggered because I upset you?" he asked...

I nodded, "No, It has been like this since I was born. As if the Universe wants me to grow fast. It isn't as frequent as it was and I don't seem to grow as much as before."

"From what I can tell you aged and matured a year." Galen added.

"See, so what is age... I mean this boy I was friends with and seeing. Bart. What happens if I don't stop then I am an adult of 23 and he is still ... Bart... Or I am 50 and he is... still.... Bart." I wanted to cry, "What if it doesn't stop. Everyone thinks it will once I am fully mature but ... what if.."

"What if a frog had wings or life went into reverse? We could waste a lot of time on what ifs. I suggest you concentrate on the now. We should find your brother.." he walked...

I guess that is Galen.. always the wise man.... Hey wait until Vince and HS sees I am 16 years old ..... What will Dad say?
