Demon Road Book 3 Will Be...
With Desolation only a few days away, I am still hard at work on the third and final Demon Road book.
From the beginning, I wanted these books to be as streamlined as possible — I wanted them short and punchy. Now, I completely failed with Demon Road, as it was a pretty big book, and only got slightly better with Desolation, which is shorter, but it looks like I'm finally getting the hang of this with Book 3, which will hopefully be the perfect length.
And the title?

«Oldest ‹Older 2401 – 2600 of 4833 Newer› Newest»Harry: *yawns as the bell goes and he sluggishly gets up and buys himself an energy drink from the vending machine*
*looks at his timetable* .. double English really?
@Gemma: I know Chione(which is spelled Khione in the books), Aria(who I haven't actually realized was a goddess; thought she was just a princess), and I'm not sure I met the last one. Might have, but can't remember the name.
When I realized Chione was Khione, I got a bit confused. :P Dang spelling differences. First with the snow goddess, then the earth mother. XD
(Right. So let's just forget it ever happened then.
Yeah, I liked the spelling of Chione better. Sorry to confuse you :P
Aria is Ariadne. Goddess of mazes and passion. Before she became a goddess by marrying Dionysus she was the princess of Crete.
And last of all is Hecate. Goddess of witchcraft necromancy and crossroads. Hecate is kinda Chione's full power which is possibly why you haven't seen a lot of her.)
Amy: -follows Harry nervously-
-Stops next to the vending machine-
Glad to see you're doing well.
-leans against it, fixing her hair-
(Okay, that's fine by me..)
@Chloe: I'm pretty sure the older brother one is a legit thing. At least, boys with more older brothers are more LIKELY to be homosexual. We don't really know the causes of homosexuality, and it irritates me :P I like being able to know things
Harry: *picks up the drink and when he stands he kinda flicks his hair out the way* Nice to se... wait... I know you ... *eyes widen* AMY!?

"A male is more likely to be gay if he has an older brother, the likelihood grows the more older brothers he has. The percentage of gay males is estimated to be around 3%, this probability can go up to 5% for males with several older brothers, say researchers from Brock University, St. Catharines, Canada.
The researchers are certain there is a biological basis for sexual orientation - in other words, there is a prenatal effect. It is not a case of older brothers having a psychological effect on the male baby after it is born. Males with older stepbrothers, or adopted brothers, are not more likely to be gay, only males with blood brothers. The scientists say the effect has to be through the mother, the only link between them.
You can read about this study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences."
*shrugs*
Amy: -giggles slightly-
Hi Harry.
Ah. *nods* Okay. I remember you mentioning Hecate at one point.
So Ariadne is the goddess wife of Dionysus?
Wait, don't answer that. I think I'm going to bed now cause my eyes are tired looking at the screen in the dark. Night guys.

Harry : -smiles-
~this has to be a dream I was thinking about her earlier, I wonder if she remembers the supercali thing~ - looks at the palm of his hand where it's scribbled down when he was trying to stay awake and smirks when going in for a hug- how are you? it's been forever.

Tresha: *lays beside him*
Hey there, how are you?
*grins at him*
Flauros: I'm... At peace, you?
Amy: -hugs him back-
I'm happy that i'm back. I was worried you wouldn't remember me. I didn't even know if you were going to be at this High School. And now we're in the same class again? Guess i'm just really lucky.

Tresha: I'm great.

Harry: This s Amy .... you know... from primary...
Rich: Thought you were gone for good after I kissed you, I mean I know I was bad back then but i never drove someone out the country before.
(Neither can I >_< Okay, gonna change their names a bit.)
Whit: The Hatt wants to s-see you. Now. Quick.
Tresha: *smiles, glowin brightly and turning human, her kitty cat cuddling into Flauros*

Flauros; I've never felt so... Warm
Whit: The same place as last time. Hurry.
*whispers*
Don't be late.
Tresha: It is quite hot tonight

Mal: *is watching her closely*
Hatt: *walks in, grinning broadly*
Why hello little Alice! Did you like the cookies?
Tresha: *kisses his cheek*
You're aborable.
Amy: Of course I remembered.
Richard, hey. I didn't leave because you kissed me -smirks-
I left because my dad's company was having problems. They're better now so we can move back.
-Looks at him properly-
I'm glad you've looked after yourself too.
Alice: *smiles* they were really nice
Flauros: *blushes* I am not
Hatt: Good, I'm glad you liked them little Alice. It's one of many recipies.
Tresha: You so are
Alice; thank you *smiles* you're very kind
Flauros: I'm not... I'm a ferocious animal *eyes seem slightly sad as he said that last part*
Hatt: Why thank you. I'm just someone who likes to help people. You're just looking for a good time after all, I'll happily provide, for a price.
Tresha: *laughs*
Oh really?
Rich: Trying to say I got fat? been 4 years can't just come back and call me fat.
Harry: * his eyes say help me* -he's had to deal with keeping Rich in tact for four years making sure he didn't get into too much trouble they're frenemies now-
Alice: what price?
Flauros; yes, I guess
Hatt: That depends what you're looking for, dear Alice.
Tresha: *grins, pushing him onto his back, pinning him down*
Alice; m more of those cookies?
Flauros; *tilts head at her*
Hatt: Hmm.. how about some tea too?
Tresha: Well? You said you're a ferocious animal. Do ferocious animals let themselves stay pinned?
Alice; how much?
Flauros: *tackles her and pins her*
Hatt: Ten cookies and ten tea bags, lets say fifty pounds?
Tresha: *squeaks and laughs, grinning up at him*
*glows and grows furry again*
Alice: *beams and remembered her purse was in her back pocket*
Okay *pulls out her money*
Flauros; *smiles* beautiful angel
Hatt: *takes the money and grins*
I'll be right back.

Tresha: *looks shocked*
Angel?
Alice: *grins*
Flauros: you're like one
Hatt: *comes back with a box of ten cookies and a smaller tub with ten shroom infused tea bags in*
Ten cookies, ten tea bags.
Tresha: I'm fluffy?
Amy: -Steps in front of Richard, hands on her hips-
So what if I am?
-Smirks-
At least you're not a stick.
-Pokes him in the stomach-
Alice: thank you, the tea the same as the cookies?
Flauros; a fluffy angel
Rich: *laughs* Hey you ! *pokes* You're not skinny either with those balls of fat on your chest *winks*
Harry: *drinks his energy juice hoping it wil all stop *
Hatt: Stronger, a little bit different. You'll like them. The payment?
Tresha: With cat ears?
Alice: yes? I have you the money
Flauros; yes
Hatt: *she hasn't actually handed over the money yet*
*holds his hand out for it*
Tresha: And a cat tail? And no wings?
Amy: Well i'll take that as a compliment. True i'm not as skinny as other girls. That just means i'm well fed
-sticks her tongue out at him-
Alice: *hands him the money*
Flauros; yes
Harry: ... soooooo, you know... how's your sister, I thought I heard her name too, must be someone else, she enjoying primary 5?
Rich: *sticks his tongue out at her too *
Hatt: *hands over the goods*
Enjoy.
Tresha: So not really very angelic?
Alice; *holds them carefully* thank you
Flauros; you are more so than me
Amy: -groans-
No, She's in the same year as us. Same class. She's so smart that she skipped 2 years.
Hatt: Anytime Alice. Enjoy your tea party.
Tresha: You are an angel silly
Hrry: WHAT! Thats bull... I wish I was smart! some kids get all the things :/
Rich: oh god now 've got more competition ... *smirks*
harry: only n math. it's the only thing you can do.
Alice; thank you mister *curtsies before leaving*
Flauros; I've fallen..
Hatt: Peculiar girl..
Queen: *bumps into her as she's leaving, she was coming in*
*scowls*
Excuse me, WHO are YOU?
Tresha: You're the best of them all
Amy: Yeah well i've been in competition with my sister longer than you guys have.
Alice: I'm sorry, miss. I'm Alice
Flauros: I wasn't... I was a monster
Queen: What are you doing here?
Tresha: What do you mean?
Alice; w why do you want to know?
Flauros; there's a reason I fell
Queen: *hisses*
Hatt is mine you slut
Tresha: Why did you fall?
Alice: y you must be mistaken.. It's not like that...
Flauros; I broke the code... Let's leave it at that
Queen: *sniffs and pushes past her*
Tresha: You know you can tell me..
Hrry: yeh I know how that feels..
Rich: I'm already the best my families ever seen
Alice: *her bird squawks and pecks the lady *
Flauros; you'd never speak to me again
Amy: Rich, you're smarter than you look
-smirks-
Queen: *grabs the birds beak, eyes furious*
*throws it across the alley*
Tresha: Of course I would!
Harry: that wouldn't be hard.
rich: *hits him on the head and bell goes for first period* well double english lads see you then.
Harry.. me too wbu ?
Alice; *shifts€ never hurt my birdy! *squawks*
Flauros: *looks at her dead in the eyes, looking terrified* you would
Amy: Yeah. We are in the same class i think. For everything.
-puts her bag over her shoulder-
I'll follow you guys.
Queen: What the hell freak!
Tresha: *kisses him gently, pulling him close*
*they walk down the corridor rich is prancing and harry is sighing he instinctively puts his hand down to Amy's* I hope you know what you left me with ....
Alice ; stay away from me *scowls*
Flauros; *kisses, trembling slightly*
Queen: Stay away from Hatt.
Tresha: *holds him tightly, gently rubbing his back*
Amy: -looks at his hand then looks back ahead-
Yeah, sorry. I knew you could handle it though.
Alice; make me
Flauros; *buries face in her hair*
Harry: I could've handled it better with you, *his hand brushes hers and he splays his fingers a little* sorry... *blushes forgetting that it's been years* sooo you find any boyfriends down in England?
Queen: *slams her back against the wall*
Mal: *appears between them, knife at th ready, teeth bared*
Queen.
Tresha: It's okay
Amy: It's ok -smiles- and nope. Quite a few have asked me out though.
Alice; queen? *winces*
Flauros; I did terrible things
Harry: good :D I mean not good but thats nice that you know they offered heheh *laughs awkwardly*
~pull it together Harry she doesn't like you~
Queen: That's me.
Mal: He's waiting for you.
Queen: *sashays in*
Tresha: You've changed
Alice, *rolls eyes and shifts back*
Flauros: I'll still never be redeemed though
Mal: B***h
Tresha: Of course you will!
Alice; what is her problem?
Flauros; no, no fallen angel has ever regained their wings... I'm not entirely sure I'd want to go back either..
Mal: Teritory.
*looks at Alice*
Run home little Alice
Tresha: I think you could, if you tried..
Amy: I don't know what they see in my though. There are prettier girls. And smarter. Like my sister.
Alice: Awkay *hops along home*
Flauros: no, not now. There's no way
Harry: You might not think you're the prettiest but I bet to some boys they could only wish to get someone like you, you're amazing and you're sister will probably scare them how smart she is... not to mention young.
(What's up Noelle?)
Tresha: I disagree.
*hugs him tightly*
You're a good person
(*gives Noelle a cake*)
Flauros; *hugs back* but... I *whispers* love you
I'm just feeling really low today.
:/ I hate seeing my reflection
*noooo* *no cake* *thank you but can't eat cake*
*Hugs* *gentler substitute*
Amy: Young isn't exactly a good thing at this age. If they were much older than me right now it would be creepy. And true, most guys probably wouldn't like that their girlfriend is smarter than them.
-Walks into English and sits in the seat she usually does-
(*offers hugs*)
Tresha: *freezes*
*mentally panics quite a bit*
*people don't say that to her*
*what is she meant to say back again?*
I love me too
*yeah! Thats totally it*
(*hugs Noelle* sorry about that
I know you don't see it, and my opinion isn't that much as won't change anything, but you are pretty ^.^)
Flauros; I see.. *is puzzled * I'm sure you're supposed to say that you love me ba know... That's what I've learned.. That is, if you could lve me
:/
*Is in a hugging mood and will hug*
*hugs*
Thank you, Inky..
(That's okay
I swear, this blog has so many pretty girls on here, all of you... And you all don't see it )
(*hugs back*)
Tresha: Well of course I love you
Flauros; r really?
harry : *sits beside her *
dick: *is chewing gum at the back of the class not caring about english*
*pops over*
Hai!
(Why, hello Zaffy ^.^)
Tresha: Of course!
(Hey zaffo)
*waves*
Huh. I haven't come here in a while....I think I'm beginning to find that I have an old spark...I haven't rped as Zaffy in so long
Amy: -whispers-
Richard, give me a bit of gum will you? My mouth is like, really dry.
-Licks her lips-
Flauros; my feelings is why I cannot return
I'm kinda the same, Zaf..
:/
But there isn't really like... A "Blogland" plot..
(Id love to do a big massive group rp, but I won't be so regular on here approaching exams..)
(Well Summer holidays are eventually coming)
Tresha: Aren't angels allowed to have feelings?
Dick: *throws her a piece of gum then doodles*
Harry: *enjoys english so is taking noted etc. * -keeps getting distracted by amy*
I know, Noelle, that's why it's so hard for me to go in. Its not like a big plot like we used to have. Which it is what it is on that, but it'd be easier to join back in.
Sil my last day is June 3rd I graduate June 10th.
Flauros; not romantic feelings with earthly beings ..
(It's getting closer. Slowly.)
Tresha: But.. you can't control your feelings!
sculpturing humans in 3D is...difficult, to say the least.
Flauros; it's the rules
Tresha: that's stupid.
Amy: -catches the gum, peels it and throws it in her mouth-
Thanks.
-Likes Richard more than Harry but Harry likes her more than Richard-
-Doesn't really know who she would pick, Harry seems like a little wimp more than anything-
-Maybe she should just stay neutral-
True.
Well, last time I switched schools, I did a plot.
So
I'll do one again, maybe
Flauros; it's the way it's always been I'm afraid
(Sorr, I am off to bed now
Nos da guys)
Tresha: Well.. Either way, so long as you're happy?
was that meant for me, noelle?
That'd be fun, Noelle! Maybe now that we both know we like Supernatural we could add stuff
Haha when you read all the comments chronologically you get a very jumbled impression of the events occurring.
It's like "I've been in competition with my sister longer than you guys have there's a reason I fell SHE'S MINE YOU SLUT"
I don't know, I know I do it but it doesn't feel right to address people's appearance insecurities with "you ARE pretty." It's like a response to the symptom and not to the problem. I think is harder to fix the problem though so what can you do.
But yeah . . . either way, beauty is subjective; if you're beautiful on the inside people will be more likely to view you as beautiful on the outside; and if someone is only friends with you/going out with you/interacting with you fir the way you look on the outside, then they'Re not really the kind of person you want to be associating with . . . and if not, it's all good. I know these two girls called Hollie (not me. another Hollie) and Maddy, and they have RIDICULOUSLY different appearances. Hollie is . . . well she's not that thin, and she doesn't wear makeup, and there's no issue with the clothing she wears but I don't think she particularly wears it for its beauty, and she never does anything different with her hair. Maddy on the other hand looks a bit like a model (I don't just mean that as a compliment, I mean the amount she looks like a model is rather scary). She's naturally ridiculously thin (so thin yous be worried about her if she wasn't always eating), and she wears tons of makeup but it's quite artfully done, and she wears like crop tops and skinny jeans plus this artful weird neck jewellery (she ties like lace around her neck) and she beautifully styles her hair somehow. And they look so completely oppositional and they have SUCH completely different appearance ideals . . . you wouldn't think they'd even get along. Yet they're like best friends and they just . . . you know when two people know each other really well and get along so well it's actually slightly exclusive to other people because you're automatically an outsider? Yeah like that.
And idk you watch them together and you wonder what they must think of each others appearance, because trying to look pretty is clearly a big deal to Maddy and it's clearly not to Hollie (not that I'm she's ugly, she just doesn't put excess amounts of effort in like Maddy dkes), but it doesn't seem to matter to them. Because they're just friends.
And to some extent, that happens to everyone with their friends. Lizzie's constantly insisting she's fat, and we keep trying to tell her she's not, but honestly whether she is or isn't fat matters very little to us. And then Cat and Lizzie wear makeup and me and Darcie don't, and the other day Darcie casually referenced not wearing makeup and Cat was like "Oh, do you not?" because she hadn't even realised.
Your appearance will honestly matter a lot more to you than it does to anyone else.
But yeah, I know it's pretty much impossible to just simply not care about how you look. I don't care that much, buy I still care somewhat. So my advice would just be to wear what you think looks good and what makes you somewhat happier, and whenever you get insecure about the way you look, just tell yourself it's okay because everyone thinks that regardless of how pretty they are and that you can't objectively judge your own face, and tell yourself that even if you don't look good, it's okay because no one will judge you too badly. And the more you tell yourself it's okay, the more it'll sink in, even if the insecuries may never completely go away.
. . .
That turned into a rant.
Well, perhaps
But that demons plot was before I watched Supernatural, I think. Lilith is a biblical name- it was just an accident that she was the antagonist. Kinda.
And, no fera
Harry: *looks at amy and see's she smiles at Rich and makes him annoyed*
Rich: *smirks at amy and blows a bubble*
*Sounds like Maddy is the type of girl Noelle wants to look like*
Amy: -smirks back-
DANGIT!
It's so hard not to mess up a 3D face.
Hm
I was trying to find the beginning of the posts but man... I don't remember when I started. It must have been before August 1, 2013. But after July 14th, which is when Alastair's plot ended...
https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?postID=3615006575232059616&blogID=1104475307058729066&isPopup=true&page=7
This is about the closest to the beginning that I can get
@Noelle: Potentially.
This one is a little farther back
Hm
https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?postID=9218337667905668301&blogID=1104475307058729066&isPopup=true&page=5
I think it took a while to pick up
@Noelle: *nods* Makes sense.
Hmm...
It started with a alphas, then Naamah, then Chaos... Lilith, Nero, Lorelei..
I remember how upset Mara was about Lorelei..
Yeah
I remember that. Well you know, we can always work together to at least give an initial reason to start something, I mean we had Niccolò come and we all loved him and when Alastair got out that kind of took its own form of how to get Nic back.
And then we have Alexis.....who he turned into a teddy bear.
Right...
I'll have to see what I can think of
RIch: *makes a heart with his fingers and points to harry then a finger and a hole * *arches eyebrow*
*doesnt know how to help*
Amy: -shakes head-
Alright, Noelle.
@Gemma: Listen to music? It'll occupy you and might help you feel more sleepy . . . makes me feel sleepy.
*Is gonna be sick*
I just had an hour of stressing, because I asked my mom to bring me some of my papers (going to a job interview in burger king tomorrow). Dad wanted to watch a film, so he was getting really annoyed at me...and it took her an hour.
As if i wasn't already suicidal enough today :P
.....
you alright noelle?
@Noelle: :/ What's wrong?
I'm not
Bye
Bye noelle.
hello star?
goodnight gemma.
