11/11/14 - I'M BACK

So here's why I return: because I love my boyfriend, I love my life with him, and I love living with him, but I look down and don't even recognize myself from where I was two years ago. I put on a housedress sort of thing last night and walked past a mirror and almost sobbed.

I don't live near bikram anymore. I support myself, have far less free time, and I live far from any exercise place of any kind - from gyms to yoga studios - and I don't have a car to get there. My achilles tendon (and athsma, which is new!) doesn't allow me to run anymore.

Getting there is now even harder than it ever was. But I cannot live with those excuses anymore. They're just challenges. It means that I need to be creative, is all.

This is somehow more daunting than ever, probably because I gained so much weight eating so much crap while living here for the past year and a half.

But I have to do it. I just have to.

No one believed that the most powerful and free country could come to its knees thanks to an evil and maniacal force that wanted nothing but absolute power. When it does, however, you either join Commander Calcury or you don't and those who don't pay the price with their lives. Censorship is running ramped in the country and each day there is a new law being passed that extends the governments control over its people. Two young teachers, Elias and Arthur Blackwell, will not stand for this injustice. They help bring together talented and special students and teach them to defend themselves and help win the fight that their parents can no longer fight for them.

For the last hundred years the civil war of Eximius has been raging on, only stopping temporarily for a set of games occurring once every five years in the original capital of Dimidium. The descendants of the first king of the island still rule both lands but no longer does each decedent possess four powers instead only two. They might still be the most powerful but now, the average residents are starting to either slowly lose their powers or are being born without any powers at all. The kings and queens of both Oriens and Occasus agreed that those who live without powers, no matter the age or circumstance, were to be sent back to the land of their families origin.

With more people leaving the island every month, the population (and the cause) is starting to truly suffer. Can the civil war keep going when more and more people are disappearing? Is it possible that the rumors of a new batch of unavoxes are coming to the island possibly be true? Will the morticrum go on with all the insane rumors surfacing? Is anyone going to really survive this Morticrum?

Ara Stone was the average little rich girl living on the Upper East Side of New York City. She always got what she wanted and whoever she wanted, no matter what it meant to anyone else. On the evening of her cotillion, everything changed. Something inside of her body snaps and she loses balance on her way down to her escort. Her joints are burning and she can’t get the feeling that someone is watching her out of her mind. This is something beyond the normal eyes she always felt on her. This felt like something deeper; something more dangerous. Time is ticking to find out just who (or what?) is watching her before she goes absolutely insane and does something she really regrets.
