A Look Into a Pitch XII

Well after the requested girl post I actually feel like another one of these. This time we have another unique pair, so to make this post interesting for my readers it'll be a little of both anime and girl post. So without further adue.

Prince Valaro Overon
Age: 20

The second oldest son of the Overon princes. Despite being the third eldest child of the Overon children he is quite a sensitive and pacifistic young man. He was always the target of bullying from his older brother and sister Nivel and Neverem. He felt a strong attachment towards his mother Queen Sara and always feared his father's temper. King Oberon would always lecture Valaro on the importance of being aggressive and cunning. However like his younger brother Ariyo he never was fond of his title as prince, but regardless he kept the title anyways. He is sent away to the kingdom of Tegas, a city of vice where the dark dreams of man come to life in terms of weapons, drugs, women and gambling. Valaro stays with the corrupt royal family of Tegas, so that he may learn what it takes to rule like his father. Upon the start of the game Valaro sets off to rule the land with a benevolent hand as opposed to his father's instructions. Thus a young man begins a path full of battle and tragedy.

Alicia Silverin
Occupation: Former soldier, currently a prostitute on the streets of Tegas

A pure, sweet 17 year old girl who was stolen from her parents to settle a debt and forced to serve as a soldier in the militia of her village. Her village was ravaged by war and eventually the place she called home was turned to ash right before her eyes. The sole survivor of her squad, she faced what any female victim of war faced to be ravaged by the victors. She would be placed in the soldier's brothels and would later be sold into slavery. She was passed along like a coin into the hands of abusive customers and masters. Alicia would never shed a tear during all the abuse rather she never would have the time to weep for her lost family and home. Eventually she would escape, however to survive she had to turn to prostitution to assure her survival. She wanders the streets of Tegas living off the night to survive. Valaro's key has chosen her as his knight, though she only served in the militia for a short time her sword skills were far superior compared to the other members. Thus the two travel together, yet despite all the struggles and battles to come something unexpected happens. The two fall in love with each other. Amist months of torment, Alicia has finally found a young man who called out to her with such a loving voice that all she can do is protect the prince who will one day be her husband.

If you're wondering how this is in part a girl post, the love that Valaro shows towards Alicia is much like the love I have for my precious person. All he hopes for is her future happiness and for Alicia being with Valaro makes all the pains in her heart smaller. In my opinion this pair is my second favorite, since amist the coming battles for all the children Valaro and Alicia show how an even closer bond can be formed between the prince/princess and thier knights. In this tale of the children learning what it is to rule thier kingdom something beautiful emerges. The Children of Overon was also inspired by the part of my love for my precious person where she is my princess, but I am not her prince charming but her ninja. During high school family relatives would always call my brothers and I handsome princes, but when you think about it thats all a prince is in a story "charming". Well when my bitterness took over I sought to break away from that, since being charming was so superficial and I saw that some girls didn't acknowledge that I was a gentleman. So I became a ninja rather than a prince and its been that way ever since. From that I decided to protect the heart of the one I love, such that her heart never crosses into the darkness of society that overtook my heart.

Anways back to the anime idea, Valaro also seeks to protect Alicia as well. So when the two fight they fight in tandem in a style I call the "blade waltz". It's a pretty unique fighting style but that'll be for another post. So the sweet love between a prince and his knight blooms in the fight for the throne.

Next time a princess and her knight the child.

Thoughts of the other under the sky so blue

Well I just finished two papers, one five page and the other a light three page. So I thought it would be a good idea to celebrate by posting something. Since I missed V Day or single awareness day and two of my four readers politely (DEMANDED?) asked for a post like this one, for once I'll indulge you. But know you just used a request for this post like this, thus you will now be at the mercy of I'll post something about women when I feel like it. If your interested to know what exactly I do to get into the mood to write these posts I listen to my various itunes of select calm J-pop so youtube these songs or not: I hear you everywhere by Rie Tanaka, This Love by Angela Aki and Inori~You Raise Me Up by Lena Park (the Japanese version).

So listen to those while reading if you want I'll wait.........Okay lets begin this post shall we. Today I awoke from my dazed slumber, one of the freshman girls got me a little sick so I couldn't breathe out of one nostril for some reason so not a very comfortable sleep. I walked out and looked at the vast blue sky, to quote myself "It should be a crime to do anything besides relax on a blue sky like this.". And I wonder that from time to time, much like that part near the end of Forrest Gump where he talks about gazing at the sunset when he did his endless jog and wondering what Jenny was doing as he was jogging and in an anime I'm watching Tsubasa Chronicles where the girl wonders if the guy thinks of her at night just as she thinks of him (again this is one of the good animes not the dirty ones) thats what I wonder too about my precious person. I write and write my thoughts and my four readers enjoy it, but I sometimes don't know what she thinks about me.

What would she think about a young man like me and his sweet love for her that goes beyond simply hoping for a relationship with her. Well I have had a few opportunities to find out, how I do this you'll have to ask me in person since I find it pretty strange and when you find out you'd all probably badger me as much as requesting posts like this to do something. First look, she and I were walking together and she told me of a particular occasion when I popped into her mind. Heres what it was about: it was on anime, manga in particular; since she was doing some holiday shopping and she didn't want her parents to feel awkward about it (anime shopping is an awkward thing to do for a parent, I've got stories about observing parents who had to do it). Now it usually reduces me to hysterical sobs (equivalent to when Natalie had me kill everyone in our Christmas banquet skit) when any of my friends tell me they saw an anime advertisement and I popped into thier minds almost instantenously. Now I'm not insulted by that it just means that I've got an identity in people's mind and I'm darn proud of it. When she told me that I wasn't insulted, it warmed my heart even though it was about anime it makes me happy that I've made some impression on her with my fanboyism. A normal girl would be weirded out by my geekyiness, but I'm glad that she accepts that part of me. We even talked later about hanging out and watching anime one day, should we ever get the time, which I really hope we do.

Another time we were sitting together and we were talking about random stuff again (this time not about anime). It wasn't so much as me bringing it up, but she was willing to open up about her family and her struggles this past year. This was one of the things that I had always hoped to talk to her about, but I never got the chance since I didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable. She told me of how she was trying to hold her family together despite a tragedy that befell her family almost a year ago. While she was able to be at peace with what happened it seems that to some of her family still haven't adjusted just yet. When she told me this my ninja's mindeye (its a strange sixth sense I have that kicks in when I know something's out of place or to predict hilarious things) kicked in. I looked into her eyes and I could tell that she wanted to cry, but she was holding it in since there were a lot of people around. At that moment I wanted to hold her in my arms, I wanted her to let it out. A part of me wanted to cry with her and it wouldn't have mattered if everyone gave us awkward looks or anything since those are nothing compared to the pain of losing a loved one. I didn't listen to my mindeye that time, I simply told her I'd continue praying for her just like I always have. I know it wasn't as big as what I wanted to do above, but as her watchful guardian from the shadows it was the least I could do for her. She thanked me for that and my mindeye told me that she truly did feel blessed that she could open up to me and for my concern and I still boardered the best friend area but it didn't matter to me.

A woman's mind is a strange thing, while my mind is plagued with anime, anime ideas, video games, historical theory and that box where I lock up my thoughts about women; I wonder what she thinks of me. I've been told that my passive actions will probably only get me so far as "bff" status and I probably am at that stage if my mindeye is correct. However there's always that "x" factor, such as maybe she does feel the same (probably not but its good to dream), maybe there's another guy either at school, church or wherever or perhaps it's like what I wrote earlier that a guy might make her stumble if she got into a relationship. I can't say what she is truly thinking, the only way for me to know is if I ever did give that confession to her (I may or never will, who knows). I'd want to know what she thinks of me as her brother in Christ and as a man. I wonder what she thinks about how I think of her (clean thoughts) as I lay awake at night and hoping that she and her family find peace and happiness, how I hope that she'll have a bright and loving future even if it's not me by her side.

So I'll ponder these thoughts in my continued journeys in the shadows as I watch over the one precious to my heart. I know that she has a positve image of me in her mind, so I'll keep that in my heart as her watchful ninja in the darkness of society so long as she can keep smiling under the sky so blue.

A Look Into a Pitch XII

Well after two post about women in a row I've decided to take a nice break from that topic and focus on another love of mine, my anime ideas. To my dedicated readers (you know who you are) this may be a first time exposure to my crazy anime ideas (I've got twelve in all, one of which Enoch helped in writing since he was the only one who unexpectedly participated in my contest). So just to let everyone know once again this blog is more than about women and the one that makes me feel blessed, it's about pointing out the problems in the world and how we should fix them along with random anime ideas and in depth looks into them along the way. So without further adue, Neverem Overon.

Princess Neverem Overon
Age: 21

Twin sister to Nivel, she is the younger twin but the eldest daughter of the Overon girls. She and Nivel have had a close relationship when they were children. They would always constantly argue who would succeed thier father as the ruler of the kingdom of Overon. She has always had a fascination with the occult and magical arts studying spell books in the royal library. Upon her exile in the land of Gruve a kingdom that has made several breakthroughs in the field of magic, she has mastered various mystical arts. Upon the start of the game Neverem seeks to bend the world to her will using her magical skills. To show her unrelenting spirit power.

Melissa Christo
Occupation: unknown, an exiled Witch from Gruve

It is not surprising for beings such as witches to exist in the western lands. The magic arts have yet to be fully understood and accepted in society. For Melissa that understanding and acceptance comes at the cost of being driven out of the land she once called home. She has been known to cast calamitous spells and curses on those who persecute her. She was driven out of Gruve for her cursed life, for she has the blessing and curse of immortality. several bounties have been placed on her head, though none have ever been successful because of this curse. It is unknown as to how she developed the ability, some say her heart lies in a unknown location, others say that her abilities transcend even death itself. The key has chosen Melissa as Neverem's knight. Together the pair are unstoppable with Melissa casting offensive spells and Neverem casting defensive spells. Melissa seeks to further her own magical knowledge with the spell books in the royal library and to raise an unstoppable magical army. Thus the two begin thier search for the other Overon children.

Next time on a look into a pitch XII a prince and his knight the prostitute.
