The Twilight of The American Republic: An American Essay by an American Citizen

We may fall this very night, we may ride history into our end.  But we will face the twilight as prideful people.  For we are citizens of a great nation, that is now in its twilight.  May the fates watch over us in our fight.  May the almighty guide us in our fight to save us from ourselves.  There is a saying, “That the prideful will fall, the grateful will be forgiven.”

We are the cusp of what may be greatest nightmare or our greatest challenge.  No matter what path we choose, our fates are locked into the fight for our future.  Our souls may be at stake for those who chose to wear their faith on their arms, while we wear our faith where it should be wore, our hearts.  God blessed us with the greatest gift in the known universe, “Free Will.”

That is the difference between us all, on how we use that gift.  Are we all sheep or do we decide choose our own destiny?  Fortune may favor those in power at this time, but time and patience will always favor those who are not.  Yes, we may be the mighty and we may be the powerful but we are also the lost.  If fate foretold that our democracy was to fall into the hands of zealots, and then our walk into the twilight should humble us.  History has shuddered at what has occurred in what was the world’s greatest democracy.  But what will be recorded is how this democracy fell to theocrats and the demise of personal responsibility.

If faith were meant to be use as a form of government then the founders of this nation, would have made it so.  There are thresholds that we can run up against but should never be crossed.  There are things that should never be use against a person or tactics to be use against us all.  We are great, and we hope to be greater.  But if the world no longer trusts us, or hold us in high regard.  Then our war will be with the world and if that does come to being, we will stand-alone.  This is our twilight; this is our fall.  If where you stand for what make us great than where you fall for who you know and what you want.  Then we still have a chance.  We still have a chance to stop the twilight of a great nation.  In Exodus it says,” Let onto Cesar, what is Cesar’s; and Let onto God, what is God’s.”

If there was rehab for a broken heart I would have a Silver membership

Just an Essay - A letter I wrote to a friend well more like an essay..take it as you will...

If there was rehab for a broken heart I would have a Silver membership, but in truth dealing with a broken heart comes from the truth of strength.  Mending is the hardest thing to do, and it never gets easier because you put all your being into someone that you hope will be one you are with. And it turns out not to be true.  But we strive on, that is the part that is always the hardest.  Because the anger, the disappointment and just the pain that comes with ending the relationship, you can’t let it overwhelm you and become what you are about.  You are better than that, and you know it.  Drowning yourself in alcohol and taking diet pills in not only unhealthy and dangerous but it is not the way.  It should out be your way. 

You have to believe that you are more than looks and sex.  Your friend who told you that you were being slutty in his own way is trying to get you to see the truth. You know who your friends are and who will tell you the truth about situations and about life.  You can have tons of admirers who will comment about your looks and wanting to get in your pants.  Do you think that can make you happy? The temporary satisfaction you get dulls in comparison to what you and life can truly offer you. Good friends will tell you in scathing bluntness what they see as destructive and show their concern.  You made a promise that you will not disappoint and I hold you to that.  In you there is great potential to be great but there is also potential just to be good.  Good in your life and good with yourself. 

You have endured and that is a testament to you, but if you continue to dread a thought about your ex then you will fall into the abyss.  Yes, it takes time to heal from something that is painful and was so hard.  But reliving it over and over and thinking about it will not help you heal.  You have to look at yourself and say that you want more, you want better. 

In my experience from pain comes the true test of you character and that is the better yourself and prepare for whatever comes your way.  Whomever you allow to enter you life and in doing something new, in words basically: REINVENTION of You! 

So no more of the past and kick yourself out of neutral and get in drive.  Drive to that dream that you want, drive to what in life will make you happy. Drive that you are your own self-confidence.  Rest, revive and get back into the fight.  This is your Life and it is for you to LIVE it! 

They call her Mother...of the World pt2

On her second birthday the Princess who is now looking the age of twelve has begun to display new abilities and talents that the entire court is afraid of her. In his blindness as a father the king still believes that she is a good omen and possibly the savior of  Raine.

Several days after her second birthday she would open the castle gates to the northern and allowed the light to pour into the city. One strode up to the Princess and knelled before her and she asked why.  It looked up and said you are "Mother", you gave us life and chance.  We serve you, and when she asked who is the we.  The light responded,"We are "THE DARK!"  She replied but you are made of light and purity how can it be that you are dark. They replied, we are many things, one side of the world, one side of life we are the light within the darkness.  We are the light outside the darkness but we are of the same blood and the same fight.  We are of legend, we came after the first.  From the beyond the mountain of Fate, our brethren comes from the depths of the world where fire and blood boils.  So We are the Dark and we have awaited for your arrival and ascension over this world.

Perplexed yet convince she told them she is ready, but they told her not till the moons turn blood red will she truly rise to power. It will be one year from today but there will be a price. She asks what that price is? It is the Kingdom of Raine. So she would wait one year to that day, walk into her father's throne room and murder him.  As he died he ask her why would you do this my love, i love you more that the world. She replied I am the world Father, I am it's mother and it is my place to love no other but the world.  I can't do that with you living.  He replied when you have your own children you will learn to love more than the world.  She looked at him with defiance and walked out of the throne room.  Raine fell that day, and was turn to ashed for the most part.  Her hordes would spread into the world from there and humankind will cower in fear until the man who fell from Mount Fate arrives. But that's is the Third Age and another story...and so it begins

Not a conitunation but words.."We are the America Republic..."

I am the face of an empire thou shall not walk. I am the face of the republic and walk within the shadows.  I am the face of the world,  but who am I am?
I am ordinary but strong, I am weak yet I do not fail. I will not back down or stand in the way of  Justice.  I am the people, the faith, the hopeful. I am more than a meek person I am grateful.  I am the beginning and I am the end, the stars and the heavens.  I am the sun and the moon, We are the Republic, We are this nation.

We shall be forgotten and we shall not fall and we will not end in the night. We will continue to fight, this is our will, this is our quest, this is our beginning. We will take back what is ours and give those what they deserve.  This is our quest, our mission, our resolve.  We are progress, we are the future, we are the present, we are the people.  We are the America Republic!  And this is our anthem! We can no longer standby and watch the greatest nation fall into darkness and despair.  We are it's sons, it's daughters, it's fathers and mothers, it's grandparents, it's believers, it's fighters and it's CITIZENS!  We are the American Republic!

We can no longer standby as people are no longer counted as people, and corporations counted as us.  We can no longer let "GREED" be a good thing;  As we starve, cry for help , fall into darkness and wallow in debt.  We can no longer walk in the shadows and we must come in the light and  We Must Fight!  We are this nation, its believers, its hopes.  We are this nation's empire.  We are the Empire cannot allow the sun to set on this gleaming Camelot.  When it is told we will take back what is ours and raise our flag high and stare into the sun and bask in its glory, because at the end of the day We are the America People, We are the United States of America, We Are the Republic!

They call her Mother...of the World pt1

Origins of Mother of the World pt1

Unlike the man who came from the Mount of Fate, the woman know as Mother came from the Kingdom of Raine. She was has many names and no name but in truth no one knows what her true name is.  She is called Mother by all who live in the world of Etrea.  She is worship by the dark and feared by the light and her conundrum is that she is both.

In the second age of the Etrea sun before the High Lord would walk the world, the Kingdom of Raine was  the jewel of the world of the age.  Raine rule most to all of the southern hemisphere of the planet to the island nation of the central see. Their king was a simple but prideful man and his wife a blue haired beauty from the island of Emril.  After 20 years of marriage the Queen of Raine was finally with child and the entire world was to welcome the new heir.

One the day of this child's birth for the first time in recorded history there was an eclipse of both moons of Etrea. Many took this as a good omen and sign that this child was blessed due to she also bore a small mark that looked like black moon of Etrea. Unbeknown est to them it was the sign of the end. In the southern most part of the kingdom the ground shook till it split in half and dark shadows and creatures poured out from it.  Word of this unnatural occurrence didn't reach the King until the two days later after the birth of his daughter.  The King and Queen had yet to named their new baby girl when the Queen fell violently and as she passed from this world she whisper to her husband the name in which their daughter should be name. It was this day the King understood why his wife had named their child "...." as she went from two days old to the age of three in a matter of days.  Her name was cursed and not to be mention to all in Raine. She was maturing at an alarming rate and the Kingdom of Raine was now facing its twilight.

The creatures and beings that rose from the crevice in deep south and fell from the sky in the upper north all came to the kingdom. The countryside was littered bodies of the dead and roads ran red with blood. The king sent his armies to defend the country as it was laid siege to by the light and dark.

  They called for the Princess of Raine to come to them as they gained more and more ground in the ensuring conflict. To lead them and be their God, her answer would shake the kingdom to ground and change the world.

World of the Dark - Book 1 Chapter 1 - Origins

Origins of the High Lord
Background Story: Book 1: The Beginning

It is the third era of the Etera sun and the dawn of the Age of the Fall. The nation of the Dark Empire has taken the world and is ruled by the High Lord. He is an ordinary human man in some respect, but in ways that confound most of the inhabitants of Etera, he can do extraordinary things. He came from the small western white city called Efelya, but those who lived there say he came from the Mount of Fate. They say some children on the outskirts of city found him battle weary, with torn clothing, carrying a mixed-colored sword and bearing two tattoos marking on his body when they found him. The markings resembled the ones on his sword two crescent moons, one white and one dark, the color of his sword was similar half white and half black.

He had retained no knowledge of who he was or where he came from, all he said to those who nursed him back to health is that, "I am of the world, neither of light or dark. I am the balanced of the two." And so he repeated that for as long as they could remember, he quietly became a member of their community and just became an ordinary man.

Then one day something changed, and strange aura was in the sky. The once bright orange sun of the world became black and the moons changed color, one became blue and the other red; as well as each had a strange crescent appear in the middle of them with colors matching the marking on his body and his sword. He quickly ran into what he had called home and grabbed that sword and walked back out with it dragging it behind him.

He walked to the center of town and yelled at the top of his lungs. People of the Great city of Efelya, this is the first day of the age of the fall, I will protect you as you have nursed me back to health. There are things of unbound light and darkness to come prepare yourselves for the rise of beings not seen since the beginning of the world. As long as you stand with me, neither side will ever touch you. For here is where I stand in this Great city, now sacred and holy ground.

After those words, they say he walked into the mists that had formed around the city, dragging his sword with a grimace of revelation on his face. It was also the last day the citizens of Efelya would see him, but they heard how he walked the world of Etera and conquer all with a growing army of beings of light and darkness.

His knights spread his word, and his dark warriors spread his dominion. There was balance, but as all things go in the world, as powerful as he was, he could not control fate. An on the world of Etera, fate has a nasty habit of changing things for the next to rise to lead the world. Those markings he bore on his body will appear on many others, but they will be separate. But the two moons will appear together on his children to what is to become his empire, and the ironic thing is they will come to betray him. But this is only the beginning of story...the rest is yet to come!
