[glow=blue,2,300]Author Rant 2:[/glow]
Welcome to the second authors rant. Why are we ranting today? Well how many people are actually on the forums? I’m not pointing anything out against the people here have no fear. But why are there so few of us? Why do so many people comment on DD and then they are done till the next page? Well I don’t know but I’ll be honest I’m a comment pimp on DD and left 9 comments, of those 2 where changes to previous comments so 7 actual comments with a point. Yes I have no life. I go to work, do work stuff, come home and check out the webcomics I read and maybe write a chappy or two for my fanfics or a rant or intermission. Now that I’m done ranting and feel better… onto question corner!
[glow=blue,2,300]Question corner:[/glow]
Q: -There are no questions-
A: Why?
[glow=blue,2,300]Onto The hidden messages and such thing:[/glow]
- Night of the Stormrider 1: Night of the Stormrider is an album by Iced Earth.
- Night of the Stormrider 2: The King is Here is a song title in the Van Canto Album A Storm to Come.
- Night of the Stormrider 2: Electric Castle is a hint to the Ayreon album Into the Electric Castle
- Mirror Maze 1: When Fear says “The meaning of our life is to give our lives meaning. Go too fast. Move too slow.” It is a slightly misquoted lyric from the last track of the Ayreon album 01011001. The actual lyrics are “The meaning of life is to give life meaning. Go too fast, move too slow.

[glow=red,2,300]Chapter 3.1: The Second Reflection: Erinnerung[/glow]
Status Report: Arrival: Success. Fear: Launched Missing: Multiple units. Transport failure noted. Anchors: Located. Anchor 1: Seized Anchor 2: Mission in transit Possibility of other anchors: 45% Malfunction of Fear noted. Commandant TZVH dispatched. Next gen unit: Launched.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I don't understand guys. He goes nuts every five to ten minutes when he's alone but whenever someone shows up he sobers up immediately and becomes the perfect gentlemen."
Charby, Kavonn, Tony, and Hex were sitting at a table in the basement. It wasn't that uncommon really. They always had a meeting about something or another. They had a secret little club, The Black Knights. It was supposed to protect the peace of the forest but did have little difficulty moving beyond the borders of the cabin.
"It's all so inconsistent but it must be somehow connected. The dead birds, the Mecha-owl, Zeno's behavior. It's all too sudden to be coincidence."
"When I tried to siphon the evil spirit that Zeno was suspected of being possessed by from his body all I got was an electric shock and now Zeno avoids me like the plague."
"The birds were completely unmarked almost as if their deaths were natural which is possible. The owl disintegrated, too."
"We're just wasting time talking in circles. Meeting adjourned for now."
All rose and made for the upstairs. Suddenly Tony started shaking his head as if he were shaking off water.
"You okay Tony?"
"I's fine. Jest somes bad memories." Tony wiped away some tears and cold sweat that formed on his face. "Jest memories."

I really can't wait to see how this all ties up, because I still don't understand much, but it's rather interesting all the same

[glow=red,2,300]Chapter 3.2:[/glow]
“Why does it seem that every time we get closer to something we screw up somehow?”
Charby, Hex, and Kavonn were out in the forest. Part of a search team, no, a search team all their own, they moved swiftly without sound other than whispers thrown to each other. The knights were most likely compromised. Unfamiliar territory all charred to cinders lay before them.
“Well this is an unseemly sight.” Kavonn used his staff to sift through the cinders they were all hot. “And these were burned recently. But it doesn’t look like he came this way.”
“What a time for a psycho episode.” Charby sighed. “I really should a seen this one coming.”
“No. This was an unexpected. Completely and utterly unknown.” Hex took a bit of the ash and cinder and put it in a test tube. “Such an action is to be expected of Zeno, not Tony.”
“In any case nobody was hurt. Pursuit at this time may be taken as an attack.” Kavonn sighed shifting the cinders with the tip of his staff.
“Agreed lets head back.” The three turned from the ashen fields and made for the cabin.
In a tree that bordered the ashen fields a short demon sat by watching idly. “Well, well, well… He released it here. That fool. I’m stuck cleaning the mess too.”

[glow=red,2,300]Chapter 3.3:[/glow]
“Ah whats ein nice nights for ein walk… through der kinder dreams.” Tony was wandering through a dream of some random child in Kellwood. The dream was a candy land of sorts that Tony was rapidly changing into vegetables. Well what scares kids really other than veggies?
-You make a life of making others miserable. Why are you so happy? What is your existence worth? Why should others be the expense of your happiness? You know you should be happy. The past is gone. The future is coming. But perhaps it is that you need to suffer some for the sake of yourself. You should go home and rest.-
“Voice. Youse wierds but kinds. I’s Thinks that this is der beginnings of ein friendships.” Tony leaned back looking at the purple sky. “Guess thats makes youse kinds of wierds.”
-I don’t feel I have to comment on that.-
“Well I’s goings home anyways.” Tony vanished from the dream world completely.
Sometime later Tony returned to the cabin. The cabin was silent he slipped in quietly and made for the kitchen.
“What kept you Tony?” Tony entered the dining room and found Charby at the table. Charby has a hook in his hand; despite his directing a question to Tony he seemed more interested in his hook.
“Hads lotsa scarings to dos.” Tony stretched yawning. “I were only gones for two days. Didn’ts knows I’ds be missed so much.”
Charby dropped his hook unceremoniously giving Tony his full attention. “Two days? Impossible you were here yesterday.”
“Yesterdays? Yesterdays I’s gots ein lead on Mye’s wand ands followeds it.” Tony started raiding the fridge. “We’s still gots anys edibles food.”
“Probably not. Mye’s not been up here since early yesterday. Zeno was kind enough to calm her down. You should head to bed.” Charby reached down and picked up his hook.
Tony hesitated but headed to bed. Charby was out of his league and he knew it. Besides this was all too confusing at the moment.
Far away atop a tree sat the little demon; there was a rustle then a thud and the demon fell from the tree. Another creature stood over the unconscious demon. His laughter was cruel as he kicked the demon around.

[glow=red,2,300]Chapter 4.1: Feuer Frei[/glow]
“Uhhnnn…” The little demon awoke in a dimly lit cell. Hmm… well @#%&. Looks like I’m caught. Well this couldn’t get much worse.
“Hello Prisoner 01011010. Welcome to the waking world. You are in cellblock 5A cell 90. Enjoy your stay.” A mini speaker in the ceiling began talking.
Great a computer with a @#%&ing sense of humor. Can life get any worse? The little demon sighed.
“Prisoner 01011010 please be advised that the commandant has released Fear and Sorrow into the area. Fear has been damaged and is in danger of hacking and Sorrow has gone off on it’s own. Please refrain from passing up any opportunities to prevent the commandant’s plans.” The mini speaker crackled gently and died.
Wait… what? A trap? Or an opportunity. The little demon got up and wandered around his cell, a dank musty room it was. Or just mocking me. Lets see what do I still have? The small demon started searching his pockets and pulled out several items that were either crazy complex or seriously simple. Well this is crazy. I still have everything.
“Prisoner 01011010 would you like to take a walk? I’ll open the door for you. Please be advised that the commandant is out for the night.” The cell door creaked open. It seemed legit. The demon tested it carefully. It was all working about right, for now.

a sudden shift it gears is always fun.
but heres the best part theses are all existing characters in teh storyline except for Fear Sorrow and the computer. though not even Amelius could tell you who the little demon and commandant are. i give you hint though Angel made special point to say she hated the character that is the little demon.

Oh, sweet! So there's someone on the inside helping the little demon? I hope it doesn't turn out to be a trap... I'm decently sure I know who he is, and I'm decently sure I don't want him trapped. Uh, thank you!

[glow=red,2,300]Chapter 4.2:[/glow]
“Tonius youse weak. Youse needs to grow strong. Der only way is to kill. Become stronger through others death. It’s youse destiny.”
Tony was dreaming. Dreaming about talking… with his self. No not like crazy people (I.E. me) that talk to their selves; he was floating in emptiness and another him was there. This one was a little more well… sinister looking. He had Zeno’s coat on over his outfit, though it seemed to have been tweaked a bit with some stars on the shoulders and some form of firearm in a holster that seemed sewn onto the coat. There were a couple buckles on the back too but whatever they attached to wasn’t there.
“Youse looks like somethings out of ein horror flick.” Tony shook his head trying to walk away from the dream Tony.
“Actually I’s were goings for militaries dictator. Thoughs I’s likes that.” The dream Tony was keeping up effortlessly. “Nows why does youse denies me?”
“Cause youse ein dream. Youse not reals.” Tony stopped and looked his dream self in the eyes. The dreams eyes were original not Olaf’s eyes like Tony made his own.
“I’s not is I? Wells youse has everythings buts youse gonna lose it’s if youse keeps dis up. Youse best friend is wit youse woman and youse sleepings in der livings room.” The dream Tony walked around the area not really going anywhere but venting frustration.
“Wells he jests comfortings hers. Ifs I’s gets her wands den she’s stills likes me bests.” Tony adjusted his hat.
“Well den… youse needs to thinks more about what youse doings. Youse shoulds checks der markets. Youse surely does not thinks that’s such ein powerfuls items escapeds the gaze of der worlds.” Dream Tony sighed and pulled his gun out of the holster and handed it to the real Tony with some extra rounds. The gun was rather interesting looking it appeared to be an AutoMag. The bullets were rather curious themselves the casings were normal at least but there were carvings all over the visible part of the bullets. “Do refrain from misusing my gun boy. I’d be miffed if it were to break. Now let me show you how to fire it.”

Post by tabiris on Jul 15, 2008 21:44:45 GMT -5
and another thing i left out. the AutoMag is a semi automatic version of a magnum. something along the lines of a hand cannon in power, meaning things that are hit can disintegrate if they're small enough. the reason dream tony is showing real tony how to fire it is because first generation AutoMags had a jamming issue in that the slide lock would return to the ready position before the casing of the old bullet ejected. So since Dream Tony has a first generation AutoMag he has to fire it with this hand on the slide lock to slow it down long enough for the casing to eject. dont try that ever though. you'll end up with burns in the best case scenerio. worst case you'll have a concussion cause that particular gun has a very, very, nasty recoil.

[glow=red,2,300]Chapter 4.3:[/glow]
A fantabulous and natural day at the market place. Well except for the fact tony was there observing the wares.
-I cant believe you brought that. Does it make you happy to carry a deadly relic? Perhaps you should just carry Kavonn's staff with you. Why must you be happy anyways, sorrow is a much more powerful weapon.-
Mein gott but you are annoying voice. Tony shook his head looking over the stalls in search of Mye's wand, his pocket was unusually heavy today with a firearm just like the one from his dream in his pocket.
-You'll not find that here. It will have been sold a while ago.-
"Looking for something specific my good sir?" Ezri walked over to Tony. "Mayhap I can help you? Looking for something for a lovely lady perhaps?"
"Nein. I's lookings for ein wand." Tony shrugged.
"That is an open subject good sir, ranging all the way from a simple stick to a golden scepter similar to that of Kavonn's." Ezri shrugged. "Let me show you a couple places you can get one."
"Is nothings as grand as Kavonn's staffs is more like ein twisted rootish woods withs ein gems." Tony followed Ezri.
"Still that does leave a large window of variance though I believe that we may be able to find what you're looking for this way." Ezri pointed to a slightly unkempt stall with a few sticks displayed. "It is good though that you have an idea of what you're looking for. So many people are unaware of how different a wand can be just from a different type of wood being used. Magic is a fickle thing indeed. Much like love."
"Indeeds. Wells I's hopeings to find ein very specific wand. It were ein friends that were lost." Tony walked up to the stall looking at the sticks nothing was particular magical about this stall at the moment.
"Very good well I shall get the owner for you." Ezri walked past the stall into a moldy looking tent.
A rather ugly woman emerged from the tent with Ezri. She smiled showing horridly rotted teeth. Under her arm she had a small package. "Ezri tells me you want a wand. Well I only got two that anyone can use. There are a couple other that I'll show ya if you like."
"Der wands nots for me. Is for mein girlfriends losts its. If it's anythings likes her brothers it's is unusables by mosts." Tony sighed rather worried that he wouldn't find it.
"Well then deary these are it." The hag produced three wands. One was crystal and perfectly straight, the other was crude wood that looked more like a bramble switch and the other looked exactly like Mye's.
Tony picked up the one that looked like Mye's and inspected it. "Dis looks jest likes it."
"That is an oddity. Very well what shall you trade for it. I don't take gold." The hag chuckled.
Craps. Whats shoulds I trades. Der Gun maybe... nein is not ein gut idea. Tony paced for a moment.
-Your hat. It's the only thing she'd take for it. Or would it make you sad to lose that hat? Is power so important that you need it over making your girlfriend happy. Then again you have her heart why do you need the wand anyway?-
Tony sighed and took off his hat. "Mein alp hat for der wand."
The hag took the hat and inspected it. "Such a good heart. Well the wand is yours now." The hag handed Tony his hat back. "Have a nice day."
"Waits aren't youse gonna take mein hat?" Tony looked at the hag confused.
"Things aren't always as they appear Mr. VonHarnier." Suddenly the hag was a beautiful lady. "Remember that."
Tony stared for a minute before leaving. Ezri had moved on to find someone interesting to talk to.
