January 2nd, 7:49 AM
“I’ve got it! I’ve got it!” the mage student cried out.
“Great! Now we just have to find Ally. How much time do we have left?” Ven asked, looking over at Carumati who was watching the time.
“Ten minutes.”

Chapter 25 - Begin Again
January 2nd, 3:16 AM
The night was cold, and the black cat trudged through the snow, sinking low every time she took a step. The memories of her past came flooding all over her at once. It wasn’t perfect -they were all in bits and pieces- but they were enough to understand the whole picture.

Chapter 24 - Mansion of Memories
January 1st, 8:11 PM
The house was like a mansion, nestled in among all the little houses. The yard was overrun with weeds which had taken over the neighbors’ yards, reflecting the people who had lived in the house. It used to be lovely, taken care of by a gentle man, a servant of the house. Now the whole thing had been taken over by nature and was considered a bad omen among the people. Everyone had been put under much fear by the inhabitants and now that they were gone, they simply wished it away, pretending that it didn’t exist. Even the houses surrounding it were empty. It was indeed a very sad mansion.

Chapter 23 - The Carnival
December 28th, 3:02 AM
“Hey, do you like Konrad?” I asked Ally one day.
“Huh? Like him? You mean as more than a friend?”
“Yeah. What is Konrad to you?”
Ally’s eyes narrowed in a grimace. “He’s like an over-excited dog who’s invaded my territory.”
“Isn’t that just what you say, though? You really and truly like him, don’t you?”
“.... No. In the end, I think I value our friendship too much to risk liking him and losing him all together. I’m afraid of hurting him to the point where he would never be able to forgive me.”
“What about Ven then?”
“Ven?”
“Yeah! Do you like Ven?”
“Gee... I never even considered him a possibility before. Ven’s always just.... there.”
“You’re so cruel.”
“I’m a cat, what do you expect?”

Chapter 19 - Ally's Secret
December 27th, 2:33 PM
Christmas was over. After Christmas sales were beginning, and all the world was a buzz. Meanwhile, GWANAN sat snug in their airship, flying above everyone. It was while they drank hot chocolate that Ven said, “Hey! Ally, don’t you still need a coat?”
“Hmm? Oh, yeah! I do. I was hoping one of you would get it for me for Christmas, but I guess not. I’ll go today. They may have a sale going,” Ally replied.
“I’ll go with you. Maybe I’ll use my date certificate tonight,” Konrad thought out loud.
“No! Not a chance!”
“Why not? It’s your Christmas present to me, right?”
“No! Well, I mean, yeah, but I didn’t want it to be so soon, during the busy season. I was thinking it would be best to go when things are less crowded.” Ally explained. Though to me, it seemed like a complete lie.
“But it’ll be cheaper and you can get it out of the way and not worry about it anymore, right? Lets go tonight!” Konrad tried to convince her.
“No, well, we can go tonight, just don’t go shopping with me.”
“Why?”
“Because I’m afraid you’ll see something you like and buy it and waste your money.” This too, appeared to be a lie.
“I promise I wont spend any extra money. Cross my heart.”
“No, I can’t trust you. Besides, I have to borrow your coat in order to buy one, I don’t want you to go cold.”
“You can borrow Ven’s instead.”
So, after much more arguing, the reluctant Ally Kat finally had no more reasons he couldn’t go with her and they ended up going together. This was when all was revealed....

Chapter 18 - Christmas with GWANAN
December 24th, 5:55 PM
The snow falls lightly to the ground in a small town called Hamlin. It was the eve of Christmas. Carolers filled the streets, wreaths hung on every door, candles in every window. Glistening icicles hung from the rooftops like a frame, and Fir trees were seen all covered up in lights and tinsel and handmade ornaments. Along every street, snowmen smiled to the passersby and children threw balls of white at each other, and upon everyone’s lips were the words, “Merry Christmas!” But in one small corner of the town, there is a place where few people go and where one small cat was sitting... waiting....

Chapter 17 - Melting the Ice
November 17th, 3:15 PM
And so it ended. The ice king was sent to the prison in Sanlio and
the people returned to their frozen homes. Izo decided that he would
stay and use his powers to try and return their houses to their
original state with the permission of the townspeople. Kon’s
shoulder was patched up and Carumati and her father were reunited.
With all the merriment going around, everyone decided that it was
time for the festivities to begin....

Chapter 16 - Kon vs Ally
November 15th, 5:42 PM
“Psalm 91:1-2 says, ‘He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”’ May this soul rest in the presence of the Lord. May she and everyone who loved her be filled with peace. Amen.”
The sun shone brilliantly that day. So why was it, the air was so cold? Why was it that no warmth could fill the heart? Why was it that the ice could not melt? Izo’s mother, whom they all held dear, was dead. She had been the sun of that town. She had brought them all warmth in those troubled times. But their sun could no longer bear the weight on her own and was swallowed up by the sea which turned to ice. With no sun, is it possible for the ice to ever melt?

Chapter 15 - Freeing Izo
November 15th, 4:50 PM
“Ice King, there appear to be intruders outside,” a young man announced.
“Who is it?” The king demanded.
“One of them appears to be Carumati Baird. The other is a young woman known as Ally Kat.”
“Ally Kat? Oh, ho ho! This could get interesting! Very interesting indeed.”
“What do you mean, Ice King?” the man with the raspy voice asked.
“Ally Kat happens to be one of the twins of.... THAT man.”
“THAT man? But your majesty, if THAT man is involved....”
“I doubt it. THAT man hasn’t been heard of for years. It is said that Ally Kat killed him and went into hiding. Though I heard a rumor that she is traveling with a group called GWANAN and doing good deeds in the world. Such a shame. She was such a talented criminal too. And now she’s turned to the light side. Tsk tsk.”
“But what will you do with her?”
“Capture her, of course! And see if we can’t bring that girl back to the side of evil where she originated. Izo!”
The young boy hanging on the wall groaned and opened his eyes. The ice king let him loose and he landed neatly on the ground.
“Go, Izo. Go and meet your old friend and her comrades. Take them down. You may kill the red head, but do not cause too much damage to the brunet. I shall have her as a new slave. What do you think?”
“Ice King, there appear to be intruders outside,” a young man announced.

November 15th, 4:11 PM
“Bwahahahahaha! I knew the young Baird girl would not disappoint. What a large mind for that small body. It’s nice to know that she still has feelings for my beautiful masterpiece.... Izo!” The man shrouded in mystery gazed up at the young boy as he hung by the chains on his wrists on the wall like a picture out on display.
“What makes you say that?” came a raspy voice. “The little girl seemed perfectly willing to kill him.”
“No. Ultimately she only put him to sleep, which was her intention all along. He’s the only thing she has left to connect her to the past. She wont let him go so easily. Fortunately, this same boy is also my beloved puppet. The little genius will soon find herself being killed by the one person she loves and who loves her.”
“My Lord is always so intelligent about such things. Hehehehe!”
“Yes! But first we must capture her, in order to call her father out of hiding. I will make Baird pay for what he’s done to me....”
And yes.... I was indeed hiding inside their secret lair in order to hear all this. Never underestimate the abilities of a writer.

November 15th, 3:56 PM
Pruina, also known as the World of Ice, was a large city which stretched far and wide. People from all over came to visit Pruina and gaze at the sculptures made by the ice building up over time known as Ice Wonders. Despite the cold, many people lived there as well, and learned to grow ice plants for food and hunt ice animals. It was an all around popular and exciting place. However, recently, an ice spell-caster came and cast an ice over the land which would never melt. The people ran in terror, but were soon entrapped by the ice giant made by the same spell-caster. That’s when our heros came upon the scene.

November 8th, 1:22 PM
“Ally Kat.”
“Yes?”
“It’s about the last chapter that you gave me.”
“What about it?”
“Well, it was good, but... how come it doesn’t say hardly anything about the party? I mean, we don’t even know if anyone sang happy birthday to you.”
“What? Ally, you didn’t put in the most hilarious part?”
“I’d rather not talk about it.”
“Why? What happened?”
“Absolutely nothing!”
“The reason that part of the story is scarce is because she actually can’t remember most of it.”
“Huh?”
“Basically, Cato slipped some liquor into Ally’s drink and we all learned that Ally Kat can’t even handle one sip without getting drunk.”
“Wait, what did she do?”
“Kon, don’t you dare!”
“Right after they sang happy birthday, she turned to Cato, took his hand and in the dullest voice ever, proposed to him right there.”
“You’re kidding!”
“She sang love songs the entire time that I was carrying her upstairs to bed after everyone left. Cato was laughing so hard, he could barely ask the maid to attend to her.”
“You’re dead, Kon.”
“Ally Kat.”

October 30th, 9:49 PM
It is there beyond the light
Where darkness grows bright
A whisper in the night
The fated dark sight
How long will this hold?
In a story untold
With linens so old
And moss at the fold
No place is free
For someone like me
With no memory
I have just one plea
With moonlit glow
Through lakes I row
With heart in tow
I’d like to know
Who am I?
It is there beyond the light
Where darkness grows bright
A whisper in the night
The fated dark sight
How long will this hold?
In a story untold
With linens so old
And moss at the fold
No place is free
For someone like me
With no memory
I have just one plea
With moonlit glow
Through lakes I row
With heart in tow
I’d like to know

Chapter 9 - An Old Friend: Part 2
October 18th, 4:37 PM
The town of Caverna isn’t exactly the place one would go for a vacation. It is gloomy and eery. The whole town resides in a pit and the only way in or out is by walking down a steep ridge on the outer rim. Constantly full of mist, it becomes impossible to see where one is going. The only thing is to keep moving forward. The faint sound of a violin follows the soft steps of people coming and going, and the dead trees reach out their branches like little fingers longing for something to hold. Dim lights move about, but no bodies can be seen for the mist. Once the bottom has been reached, one will see in the distance, a tall, dark mansion where a strange being that no one has ever seen resides. All sorts of creatures dwell here in this pit. Werewolves and vampires seek out this place as their home....
Other than that, it’s completely normal!
