Crossing the Divide 52

"Grey Worm?" I asked.

"Missandei?" He said weakly. "No. Daenerys had her killed."

"Grey Worm, can you stand up? Me and Arya will get you back to camp."

"What does it matter? Missandei is dead!"

The pain and hurt in his face and voice made me shiver. It reminded me of how I had felt when my children had died. There seemed to be no point anymore and yet I had kept moving. I kept going on for reasons I couldn't explain. I had thought Grey Worm dead by Daenerys' hands. It didn't occur to me that she would allow someone with such anger against her to live. Or maybe she had been sane enough to realize that he would be in too much pain to go against her. Because I had assumed the actions she would take, I hadn't thought anything of it when he wasn't in the Dragonpit.

"I know." I replied. "But there is a reason you are still alive. Maybe it's a need of vengeance."

Grey Worm finally relented and allowed himself to be guided back to camp. The dragons breathed their flames twice before we entered the camp. When a few of my men saw me there was a rush to get me into a tent. Lei was in it and stood up to look at the injured man. Her face was in so much sorrow at the sight of him. She had such a kind heart that most of the Lannisters seemed to lack. Even Tyrion didn't have her purity.

Travels of Artictress: Rin of the Alola Region Entry #1 (Moon)

Entry #1: Starting a New Life

My name is Rin and I just arrived in the Alola Region not that long ago. Heck, Mom still hasn't finished unpacking and most of our stuff is still in boxes. Lots of boxes. I'm surprised so many fit inside our small little house.

A Quickie: The Flaws of the Jedi (Star Wars)

The Jedi Order has existed for millennia. For time without end, it seems, they have been the bringers of light to a chaotic universe. When I first watched the movies I saw them as the good guys. There could be problems within the Order but the flaws could always be fixed. Right?

I am not sure where the origins of the Jedi Order are in the new canon and I don't want to accidentally give out some now defunct canon information. It's been awhile since I've kept up with the Expanded Universe (EU) as all the information overwhelmed me. Need to catch up but with my never ending 'to read list'...might be awhile.

So if anything new has been revealed in the EU and I don't mention it, that's why.

Crossing the Divide 51

I heard footsteps that sounded like all the other footsteps except to my bloodsense. With that innate Kaari ability I could easily tell that this woman wasn't a clone. This was the woman I hadn't seen since I had helped Alex escape.

"Alice Abernathy." I said simply as I met her eyes.

There was silence as we both looked at the other. In her mind I was a traitor that had helped one of her biggest enemies escape. In her mind I should be killed for what I had done. She was right that I had committed many sins that I should be punished for. However, I had done my best to right as many of my past wrongs as I could. Even though we were now enemies, I pitied her. It was a cruel joke of the gods that she was but a plaything for them. More so than other humans.

"Rin Isaacs." Alice finally said.

She had drawn out saying Isaacs more than she had to. It was a verbal reminder of how much I had hurt her. When we had met I had gone by the alia Ray Raqus. Starting the Mormonts I had wanted to distance myself from my then estranged husband. I didn't want my recruits to connect me to Umbrella, not right away at least. While some Mormonts had known of my connection to Alex, it wasn't until after I returned with my husband that the truth had quickly become common knowledge.

"We are fighting for the same reasons." I told the woman. "I am fighting to save the world. I am fighting so that humanity can reclaim its rightful place. I am fighting to destroy the Umbrella Corporation."

Crossing the Divide 50

"Don't let them leave here alive!" Daenerys yelled in rage and pain. "Attack them! Kill them! Burn them all!"

Drogon was close to his mother and yet he hesitated. Serving his mother meant attacking his brother. There was confusion in the dragon's eyes and he didn't move just long enough for me to reach my brother.

"Hold on tightly to him." I said calmly. "Hold on until I am able to transform. Think of nothing but holding onto Viserion."

In my goal to get to my brother I had tuned out the rest of the world. Alexander had cut through the Queensguards that had betrayed me while those running had defended themselves. The traitors were dead now. Not all of the traitors, but just enough. While the others clung onto my brother's legs, I grasped his tail. His body was as familiar to me now as my dragon's had once been.

Viserion ran quickly and soon enough he was gaining altitude. As his wings beat eagerly, Drogon decided to move. He roared at his brother as he was angry at the betrayal. While my brother was rising up, I heard Rhaegal join the fray. I closed my eye and prayed to the gods that we could safely escape.

You Need a Teacher Giveaway (Flight Rising)

Update: The giveaway is over. Thanks to everyone that participated. Maybe you were a member of Flight Rising and this giveaway made you a fan of my blog. Or maybe you're a fan of my blog who has suddenly learned about Flight Rising. If you're the latter, keep on the lookout for the next registration window.

If you are a member of Flight Rising and can't wait until my next giveaway to get dragons from me, you can always check out the Auction House and my Dragon Shop for dragons I'm selling.

I also do nest rentals and lend out my cauldron.

If you want to find out more about my clan, feel free to check out my dragons' journals and the clan's facebook page.

And, hey, if you want to start a long discussion about Reylo or other ships, feel free. If you want to buy things related to Star Wars for yourself, friends, and family click on the ad at the bottom of my post. Doing this you will help support my blog as well as getting neat stuff for yourself and others.
 
Shipping is a wonderful thing. For those who aren't yet familiar with the term: shipping means enjoying the relationship between one or more characters.

For me it's yet another way to enjoy a series that I love. I will ship characters together that I wouldn't in real life because they aren't real. There are no actual consequences. I'm not influenced by fiction to think that an unhealthy relationship is perfection.

Now we come to the topic of Reylo which is the name of the ship between Rey and Kylo Ren from Star Wars.

We still don't know if the two are related yet some people are pre-grossed out by possible incest. Some have said they'll stop shipping the pair if the two are related. Myself...they're fictional characters so the real life consequences of incest need not apply. So, yeah, I'll still be shipping them if they are related because they aren't actually real.

In my quest to give back to my loyal blog readers, here's another giveaway. This time I'm giving away dragons (I know, shocking) from the site Flight Rising. Unlike Dragon Cave, you can't sign up at any time but have to wait for a registration window. Go to the HOME PAGE of Flight Rising to check when the next registration window is. Even if you can't make this giveaway, you can participate in future ones. I am jashykins on the site.

Now this giveaway is running a little differently than my Dragon Cave one due to how breeding is done on Flight Rising. The number of dragons I give away each time is dependent on how many eggs are produced in the 'giveaway nest'. I have selling my dragons in the Auction House and Exalting others as part of my income on the site. Losing a little here and there is fine, but doing constant giveaways is a no no.

This time I am giving away three dragons. The parents are Elfangor and Kali.

Below are listed the rules of this giveaway:

New Batch of Dragons (Jash's Dragon Army)

On Dragon Cave I'm getting a little more serious about breeding more dragons so that there will be more options for future giveaways. So if I'm trying to breed one type of dragon I'll have more chances of actually successfully getting the type I'm aiming for.

If you want me to personally breed a pair for you when not doing a giveaway, comment below.

Here are the new dragons this time around:

A Quickie: Why I Love Negan (The Walking Dead)

I want to start off with that I am not saying Negan is a moral character. In this post I am not saying that I agree with what Negan does all the time. In this post I am not trying to absolve him of his many sins.

Characters I adore don't always have to be moral characters. I am fine with liking problematic characters as they are fictional. It's not like I'm saying I would like to meet them in real life. In fiction there is a safety net so one can admire a person like Negan.

So why do I enjoy the character so much?

Crossing the Divide 49

"Sam, I'm going to have to go back one day. Everything I've accomplished I'm going to have to leave behind. I'll have to leave behind you, Alex, Eve, and our child. I'm saving this world only to never see how it blossoms."

"You're living in both realities now, correct? You can continue doing so."

In his eyes I saw hurt and I more than understood why. He had just met me and fallen for me, now I was telling him I was going to leave. He was only going to join the Mormonts because I was there. The same reason Alex had for joining. I didn't want him to hurt and I didn't want to leave him at this facility.

"I can't." I said sadly. "If I do then the fabric of all the realities will start to break. After...after one of my children died I was able to go to an alternate reality. I can't keep on going to new worlds when I'm in duress."

"So I'm supposed to join the Mormonts for you just to see you go?" Sam asked angrily but still didn't move his hand. "I'm supposed to change my life just to see you leave me? Why do any of this, then? Why not continue working for Umbrella? Why do anything if you're just going to leave in the end?"

Sam brought up the same questions that I had been thinking about. When he and Alex brought the questions up it made me feel stupid. It made me feel like a silly, little pup. There was no good answer about why I was leading the Mormonts. But he, Alex, and myself all deserved an answer. My husband and lover because they were dear to me. Myself because I shouldn't wander the world without knowing why.

"I guess because of guilt." I replied quietly. "I did horrible things while working for Umbrella. I did things that I won't ever be able to make up for. I helped humanity crumble all the while thinking I was doing the right thing. I can't ever make up for all that I did, but I can put humanity where it belongs. I won't be able to see what all my efforts resulted in, but my soul will leave this reality clean."

"And do you think that will convince me?" Sam asked.

"It has. You haven't removed your hand yet."
