I am soulless, cruel, and have no heart. I do not feel anything when I take their souls. They deserve it as their souls are impure. These dirty humans have souls whereas, I, do not. I cannot contain my jealousy towards them as they can die as they please whereas, I, cannot. I was once a mere mortal who loved a Goddess but I was betrayed and turned into something beautiful but hideous for eternity as my soul left me and lie asleep for eternity somewhere in the dark abyss. My beauty is lethal as I can deceive my prey. I have lived far more than any human can apprehend and I cannot remember how it feels to be a human and this little girl, an innocent beauty, a mere mortal, I should loathe, take her soul, and leave her dead cold. But why am I hesitating? Her innocent blue eyes and her bright smile is illuminating my darkness. I, Endymion, is a soulless immortal, must take her filthy soul with no hesitation and regret...

It’s a camel ride, and I In a desolate street Of a ravaged city Holding the worn-out leather reins Drive towards that home On whose threshold A sorrowful woman is tethered down With a cord Of my promise A sturdy cord, weaved from heart-strings Bare-headed, for many centuries Teary eyes Eyes with the glint of an ancient star Anxious to imbibe the smell of my ashen robe And to hear the distressed grunts Of my brown camel. The same soggy corner of the chamber Where one night When wooden arrows were raining down I had abandoned her Vulnerable and lonely I still remember every bit The drizzle had stopped The moon was seated in the night sky Like a youthful prince on the throne The air caressed the cheeks like a silken shawl The street was fast asleep The houses, in their cold and wet shells As if made of soft and thin paper Or carved out of wax Standing since eternity In a big painting The same soggy corner of the chamber Where glittering sunbeams were spotlighting The fresh fig leaf In her long, unbraid hair I still remember every bit The kiss on her wheatish elbow The same night When I had laid my sword at her feet And had pledged: “My body, and the strength that runs it Will accompany your passion Till eternity … beyond eternity Till the verge of existence and nonexistence Time listens I make my witnesses This moon on the sky The sword in your feet And the fig leaf in your hair.” God, what a moment that was what a moment this is! The street, deserted and hushed What a wretched moment, in which Neither a tiny bird nor a moth Or a paltry ant has crossed my way Much less a human being It’s a camel ride, and I Holding the worn-out leather reins Drive towards that home … Drive towards a doomsday, a silent doomsday A doomsday of somebody’s sobs and sighs A scene A scene where a street And a brown camel And the company of a spineless man A never-ending journey till eternity It’s camel ride Or the ride on the exhausted nerves? Or a trial by a bizarre dream? Frozen pupils Unmoving shadow of the camel All images have lost in the mirror I’m in the street for a long time Where is she, my dearest? She, of the soggy chamber? She, of the melodious chimes? She, of the lands, of oceans, of souls, of heavens? The eyes strain but the tears don’t roll down The street never ends Command the street to end! I, sitting on the brown, frail camel Count my last days How I long for even a bee from her era To flit through the street How I beg for pardon at her doorstep How I crave to bow my head So that, on account of that bee from her era I take my withered body And my frail camel And cross the last bounds of the street.

During All The Ages There Has Been One Bright And Glittering Page Of Loftiest Wisdom Unrolled Before The Eye Of Man. That This Page May Be Read In Every Part, Man'S Whole World Turns Him Before It. This Motion Apparently Changes The Eternally Stable Stars Into A Moving Panorama, But It Is Only So In Appearance. The Sky Is A Vast, Immovable Dial-Plate Of "That Clock Whose Pendulum Ticks Ages Instead Of Seconds," And Whose Time Is Eternity. The Moon Moves Among The Illuminated Figures, Traversing The Dial Quickly, Like A Second-Hand, Once A Month. The Sun, Like A Minute-Hand, Goes Over The Dial Once A Year. Various Planets Stand For Hour-Hands, Moving Over The Dial In Various Periods Reaching Up To One Hundred And Sixty-Four Years; While The Earth, Like A Ship Of Exploration, Sails The Infinite Azure, Bearing The Observers To Different Points Where They May Investigate The Infinite Problems Of This Mighty Machinery.

Near Seven Years Ago, A Short While Before His Death In 1844, John Sterling committed the Care Of His Literary Character And Printed Writings To Two Friends, Archdeacon Hare And Myself. His Estimate Of The Bequest Was Far From Overweening; To Few Men Could The Small Sum-Total Of His Activities In this World Seem More Inconsiderable Than, In those Last Solemn Days, It Did To Him. He Had Burnt Much; Found Much Unworthy; Looking steadfastly Into The Silent Continents Of Death And Eternity, A Brave Man'S Judgments About His Own Sorry Work In The Field Of Time Are Not Apt To Be Too Lenient. But, In fine, Here Was Some Portion Of His Work Which The World Had Already Got Hold Of, And Which He Could Not Burn. [mehr]

The Hades Gate is slowly unlocking, as it has been for centuries, and only the shattered remains of the Blade Of Olympus, or The Four Swords, as they are better known, can seal the Gate for eternity when gathered and combined. However, as ever, things are not that easy. Dark forces in the name of Blue Cloud, the son of Hades, stir and plot to use the Cornopticus, an item capable of destroying the remaining Olympian Gods and absorbing their souls, to his own vile misdeeds. And then there are the Enfocers, a band of mercenaries once compiled by the Galactic Government who, in the government's untimely absence, appear to be working on nothing but gathering the swords. . . Even if they must destroy Earth to do so. . . [mehr]
