Blue Ash Crisis: Prologue WIPPrologue: The Crisis“Okay looks like we got everything established. Let's get going with the Mantra-Tech systems check.” said a female voice over the radio.People work vigorously inside their offices framed by large paned glass windows. Just below at a shopping center, well-dressed customers make the roulette through carousel doors.A male voice comes over the radio with subtle static. “We have, light. Ready and waiting.”People walk through the city slums surrounded by litter. It is dull, a monochrome brown. Torn posters line the walls of events long past. A man drops a few coins into a beggar's hands. He smiles up as the man just keeps walking.“Let's begin with the Core Check.” replied the young woman.Billboards line every street. They shine down a dull haze of light while cars bustle through heavy traffic. A group of school children walks close to their teacher through a crosswalk.“Core 1,
So You Want To Be A Writer?! So you want to be a writer? A topic I must cover before I start doing my writing tutorials is what it means to be a writer. While the last topic I covered “Why Not To Be A Writer” was a little tongue and cheek this is more of a serious tone. This is what you really have to do, and give up, to be a writer.

This job should come with a warning. This is a little list of reasons I think you should not be a writer. I know funny isn't it.The firs thing really is depression, loneliness, solitude for months out of the year. Financial uncertainty for the rest of your life.

The creation then needed to be filled and so “The Twins” created the Caeles. They would account to 135, 135 was the totality of their number; each one serving a particular place and purpose ensuring the creation was maintained. The Caeles then filled “The Vastness” and with the as
