well because amira asked me ( @amira-wayne-al-ghul ), here’s my story. the one that tells you how i became aasia, the goddess of the dark and shadows. how i died too, i guess.

it gets slightly long so it’s under the cut

well, we first go back a hundred years, when my grandfather was in need of someone to carry forth the league, to have someone to be in charge of the league. somewhere during this time, my mother had an affair with erebus, the greek personification of darkness. this has confused me for a while too, mainly since he was a primordial but i did not know off this until a few months ago. 

my mother was pregnant, and seeing this as a perfect chance, my grandfather prayed to the deities. all of them, the primordials, the gods, anyone he could. none answered for a while, but then when my mother was eight months long, one answered.

nyx, the personification and primordial of the night, as well as the wife or erebus, answered. i’m not sure what grandfather offered her, or if it was only because i was, in a way, her child too, but she answered. she promised my grandfather two things: 1. i would have great power when i was born and 2. i would be immortal, not die unless killed my someone who can kill a god. while me being a god wasn’t promised, nyx prophesied that if i was worthy, i would join olympus

she took me under her wing from the moment i opened my eyes. nyx was my patron, she taught me everything when it came to powers. my mother taught me the skills of being an assassin, grandfather how to lead, and nyx how to be great. 

however, you couldn’t stop a teenager. i was quite the party girl, be it only on weekends, but every sunday i would drink with someone, who i didn’t know was dionysus. that’s how i met primrose, the daughter of demeter, as well. 

i was twenty when the final test came to me. this was around eighty three years ago, but the gods tested me. bended me until i broke, and nyx thought i was worthy enough. i had just passed their trials, fought creatures they couldn’t and won, not to mention i was still half primordial. so nyx confronted zues and out of the fear he held for my patron, he made me a god. i stopped ageing.

olympus and i never got along, aside from maybe dionysus, hestia and persephone, none of them really liked me but it didn’t matter because the gods of the darkness did. the smaller ones often over looked by the so called olympians loved me, and for them i would give the world. 

dionysus threw a lot of parties, many of which i attended, where i met andrea, who i thought i was the one for me for seventy years. mother hated andrea’s mom, and my lover, but i was . . . i was so taken by her i gave her my everything. my first love. we stayed together for long years, so many so i’ve lost count, but then because of something she still blames me for, we broke up.

i got reckless. amira was born not long after and then she and aisha became my one goal to protect. prim and i stayed home, helping mama raise those two, i was there for every small achievement until they turned five. until one day, grandfather sent me on a mission. 

what i hadn’t known then was that this mission was to kill me. for my death. so i went, and i died. a dagger in my heart from where he stabbed me and buried me, right next to his beloved. 

that was me, until i died.

Tamaanit

Tamaanit ovat kanin kokoisia ja marsun näköisiä nisäkkäitä.

Ne ovat kaukaista sukua norsuille ja seireenieläimille.

Niitä elää Afrikassa ja Lähi-Idässä.

Ne kuuluvat kavioeläinten lahkoon.

Niiden yläleuan etuhampaat kasvavat jatkuvasti ja ne näyttävät pieniltä syöksyhampailta.

Tamaanit pysyvät lämpiminä painautumalla toisiinsa ja "paistattamalla päivää".

Sunset at Koh Rong's Long beach, Cambodia. We did the sweaty hike through the jungle to get to the beach and were totally exhausted when we got there. Luckily there was a guy selling taxi boat tickets at the end of the trail. For a boat that left without us or never existed... Fortunately we talked to right people at the right moment so eventually a group of Taiwanese businessmen took us to their private boat and brought home for free. It was an adventure and we also made some new friends 😊 Check out our latest blog post from: www.finnomads.com #longbeach #kohrong #sunset #cambodia #adventure #explore #travel #nomadlife #travelpics #instatravel #island #life #live #love #wanderlust #travelcouple #theglobewanderer #igshotz #travelmore #traveladdict #travelbloggers #matkablogi #aasia (paikassa Koh Rong, Kaoh Kong, Cambodia)

Kirjastus: Hodder & Stoughton Lehekülgi: 304 Ilmumisaasta: 2025 Mis võiks olla veel sobilikum lugemine, kui surma ja hirmu täis õudusromaan, mis on inspireeritud autori enda kokkupuutest 21.sajandi kõige suurema pandeemiaga – COVID-19. Võttes aluseks hävinguga lõppeva haiguspuhangu ja sellega seotud aspektid, on Baker tulemuseks saanud muljetavaldava teose, millest lausa õhkub…

"The Healing Season of Pottery" - Yeon Somin

Kirjastus: Viking Lehekülgi: 272 Ilmumisaasta: 2024 Kui raamatu ilmumisest esimest korda eelmine aasta teada anti, olin koheselt uudishimust tagajalgadel. Üheks faktoriks on kindlasti fakt, et tegemist on aasia kirjandusega. Olen neist peaaegu et sõltuvuses. Teisalt, raamatu kaanekujundus (ingliskeelne versioon) näeb ütlemata lummav ja meelitav välja. Kolmandaks puudutab raamat kunstižanri,…

Countries in Asia by airforce sizes

The map showcased here shows the countries of Asia based on the range of total aircraft they possess within their militaries. Asia holds some of the world’s most powerful countries and militaries, thus many of the countries within this continent would have some of the world’s largest airforces. Out of the world’s top 10 largest airforces, 7 of them are within the Asian continent! Two of the top 10 being transcontinental nations (Russia and Turkey). Russia currently maintains the largest airforce in Asia, with a total of 4,255 aircraft within their military. If we were to exclude transcontinental countries then China would have the largest in Asia with 3,304. Current the United States has the world’s largest aircraft fleet, with a total of 13,209.
