A look into a Pitch XII

Wow this seems to be a long overdue post. Seeing to it that the last look was August I think. In all honesty I've been trying to think of this pair for a while now. Since this match up involves a complex good and evil kind of relationship. Where Aurora and Nicolas kind of does in a innocent sort of way this one will be a bit darker. But more on that after the description of the two, so without further adue.

Princess Kiren Overon
Age: 7

The youngest of the Overon girls. Unlike her brothers and sisters she was sent away to a monastery at a young age. She lives a life devoted to saving troubled souls. She has lived seven years unaware of her own title as a princess. Despite that she is truly happy with her life in the religous city of Furen. A city that prides itself as the religious capital of the Western realm. It is a city of peace and love that accepts people from even the most tragic of backgrounds. Kiren hopes to one day establish her own church and to become the first woman religious leader. A noble yet innocent dream which the city itself rejects, despite the rejection from the city itself she still continues to persue her dream. With the start of the game, she learns of her title as princess and is given the ultimate opportunity to seize her dream. By winning she can change the Kingdom of Overon into a religious city and under her rule she can create her own religion. A step of faith that must first walk a path of death to achieve her dream.

Mathias Krad
Occupation: a Fanatical priest of Leroism
Age: 30

Leroism a fairly new religion that has emerged in the Western realm. It has not been accepted by the citizens of Furen and has become a slowly growing cult. The details on the beliefs of the religion have not been fully recorded. However it seems that the main goal of the cult is the death of a being that knows the past and future. The dangers of the being creates an imbalance of knowledge and perhaps cause the downfall of humanity. Mathias is one of the few priests of Leroism, he has been convicted of murdering countless people believing them to be the all knowing being. Sentenced to exile he unexpectedly runs into Princess Kiren. The key has chosen him to be her knight, while reluctant at first he hears of a rumor of another princess and her knight a librarian who knows everything and it becomes clear that he must undertake protecting this young girl. Wielding his scythe he goes forth in search of Catria to restore balance in a realm continually torn by war.

The way that these two will work is that Kiren is a straight forward and pious girl, yet Mathias is a religious fanatic who will do anything to fufill his religion's goal. Kiren more or less serves as a foil to Mathias, because they'll argue who's right when it comes to fights and religious views of the world. We're on the final two children of Overon. Next time a prince and his knight the widow.

Recycled Heart

Well its been almost a month since my last post. I guess this kind of supports the idea of sporatic posts and what not. I suppose I'll make this a post about women since it seems to be a popular subject with a few of my readers. I wonder sometimes what my chances are with women are. As most of you know I'm a pretty strange guy. My flaming love and obsession of anime and the fact that I play video games isn't necessarily a selling point with some girls. Its strange that I can even talk to a few of my friends who are girls. In one of the past meetings of AACF we had a talk about spiritual gifts. Celibacy is a fun one, to have peace with the fact that you're going to be single forever and all you need is God. I found that I was one of the few who actually felt that they had this gift (unless if people didn't want to admit to it or didn't want such a gift). It's a difficult gift sometimes, on one hand you get a lot of time for yourself but at the same time you can't help but feel like you're missing out on possibly experiencing love.

There was a shirt that I once saw in a webcomic, where a girl had a jacket that had a heart in the middle of two arrows in a recycle motion. Surprisingly enough that jacket had a limited release in real life (it was a pretty cute girl jacket in my opinion). In my lifetime so far I feel like my heart has been recycled countless times. That its been in a seemingly hopeless loop that I hope to give my heart to someone yet I get it back and hope to give it to another. I suppose it all goes back on confidence. As a guy I have to have faith in myself, many girls want that in a guy. Yet its hard for me, I try but I never do anything and life goes on. There have been too many girls around our place lately and I'm practically the only single guy. I do feel like I'm missing out, yet I'm still content since so many people think I have a mature view on relationships. Then again this mature look may be making my expectations too high or holding me back from telling a girl how I feel.

I struggle so much with the things I want with what God has blessed me with. I know I shouldn't rush into these things, but society tells me that I have too high expectations or that I'm too weak. I really do hope that I will find that person, who will accept this recycled heart. A heart that has been hurt, rejected, broken and changed. To take all these things and let that young man who he has given it to and allow him to grow and be by her side. So I'll hold on to this heart to hopefully find that person one day and even if I never find that person this heart will be a testament to how any person who is blessed with celibacy should live.
