 Name: Stella Chrysanti Student or Professor: Professor and School Counselor Nickname: none at present Age: 37 Gender: Female Race: Spirit of Light Orientation: heterosexual Relationship Status: single History: Once a year, when the sun rises on the north pole, a tiny spirit-body is born into the Northern Lights. Over the next six months, it soaks in light from the sun, fueling what would soon become a creature called a Spirit of Light. This year was no different. At the Fall Equinox when the sun finally set, the tiny ball-like form had gathered the amount of light needed, and a consciousness came into being.
It started off ignorant of everything, as any child does, and had to be taught the ways of the world. From it's elders in the Northern Lights, it learned about war and about peace, about kindness and about cruelty, about greed and about charity. About life, and about death. It was not taught what was right, and what was wrong. Instead, it was taught what things were.
After ten years of study, the eldest Lights deemed it old enough to begin it's life's journey, and sent it into the world to discover who it would be, allowing it to choose it's own path. The first step, they directed it, was to go to the place called Stonehenge, and acquire a human form. "Farewell, young Spirit. Return to us when you have come to understand." It was confused. Had they not taught it all about the world? Did it not understand what the world was? It tried to ask, but the elders turned away, and spoke now more. The young Spirit began it's journey.
It came to Stonehenge, and stayed inside the stone circle, hiding near the ground from the tourists surrounding it. After a full day and night, the spirit felt a difference within itself. It had gained something. She had gained something. The magic of the circle had taken the essence of the Light Spirit, and gave it the material to create an identity. She felt female, and so she became female. She felt her weightlessness, and so she created a human form for herself, thin and light and small, just like she felt. She felt herself as her own self, with an identity, and so she gave herself a name. She became Stella Chrysanti.
With her new form and her new identity, Stella went into the world to try to understand. She met people, but she did not know people. She found places where there was war, and where there was peace, and lived in each for a time. She experimented with greed, and collected things from other people, taking them so that she could have them. She liked having things. Then she tried charity, and gave the things away. She did not like having no things. In this way, she tested everything she had been taught. After many years, Stella had learned much about the world. She was 18, and had two very important things she had not yet tested. Life. And death. She started by killing plants, and then small animals. She learned to hunt. She killed a person. When that man's heart stopped beating, Stella thought she understood death. It was time to understand life. She went to a farm, and watched a horse being born. She learned about life in many ways, but did not understand. She decided she had to create life. She found a male, and conceived a child. As that child grew within her human body, she began to understand. She gave birth to a tiny human baby boy, and when she looked down at the life she had created, she understood. Life was good. She loved that child with her entire heart and her entire soul, and that was the first time she had felt emotion. And it was good.
But then that tiny precious baby boy began to cough. It wailed and it coughed, and it would not stop, no matter what she tried. She felt desperation. She needed to help her child. But the coughing did not stop, not until the last moment, and then it died. Stella took up the wailing of her boy, screaming with pain. Finally, she understood death. And she knew that death was wrong. That greed, and war, and killing was wrong. She wept for everything she had done. For the things she had stolen, for the hurt she had caused, for all the cruel words she had said, and all the cruel things she had done in her attempt to understand. She wept for the man she had killed, the life that she had snuffed out. The man who had once been someone's baby boy. Stella understood it all now, and wept, resolving never again to do something that was not good.
Stella returned to the North Pole, resuming her Light form, and faced the elders she had not seen for eight years. "I understand," she told them, and they saw that she did.
There was only one more lesson they could teach her, and that was peace. The elders helped her to come to terms with what happened, and to accept it as a part of herself without hating herself. They shared their stories, some similar, and some wildly different. They had each come to understand, and knew that until each Spirit understood, he or she could do no good in the world. If that meant losing some spirits who chose not to understand and return, so be it. And after five years of living once again in the Northern Lights, Stella found peace.
She also found purpose. Each Spirit of Light must choose his or her own life mission, and Stella chose to protect the youth. She knew what it was like to be young, and to not understand, and she wanted to help the young on their life's journey - because not all creatures have to learn the way Spirits of Light do. Most are born with the knowledge of good and evil, and it is their choice what to do with it. So Stella came to work at Atlantis Academy, to teach the young students and be a guide for them, helping them to find their purpose, and to come to peace with themselves.
(Longest bio evaaaarrrr, oh my gosh! Never gotten that into a character's story before xD ) Weapons and/or Powers:
-Light Shift: Stella can shapeshift into her true form, which is a marble-sized ball of light. Although it may sting some eyes to look at it directly, this form does not have the power to burn or blind in any way. She is also completely powerless in this form.
-(deleted the healing power because it didn't make sense with the character. I may also delete the power below this too, and add something that makes more sense later, when I figure it out.)
-Lightness of the Mind: If another person is troubled, Stella can provide temporary relief by shielding the consciousness from the area of the brain that is the problem, allowing the mind to heal. Works only if the person's mind is open, aware, and willing to do so. To stimulate the magic, the person's hands must be placed face down on Stella's open palms. (yes, I know this ability is dumb and useless, and will probably never come into affect at all. But I needed her to have some kind of magic for reasons of my own ) Personality: Stella is a calm, kind and loving person. She does everything she can to help someone in need, whether the problem is physical emotional or otherwise. Obviously, she believes very strongly in finding inner peace, and that belief is present in every aspect of her life. She will never lie for any reason, or do anything else harmful. (More may be added here as she develops - it always takes me a few posts to get the details of how a character acts)) Character Flaws:
- Gullible: She knew what it was to be dishonest, but she also knew what it was like not to be trusted when she was honest. Because of this, Stella assumes that others would never purposefully lie or cheat. She automatically trusts that everything she is told is the truth, because she does not want to cause the tension that can be created when there is not trust.
- Idealist: Believes in the absolute best possible scenario despite what is going on around her. Won't accept that someone did something wrong unless she see's it with her own eyes, and even then will do her best to find an explanation for their actions.
- Overzealous: Believes so strongly in her philosophy of the world that she is blind to any others. Intensely devoted to her cause, keeping it repetitively in her head. Habits:
- When she is not holding or doing something, Stella tends to clasp her hands out in front of her chest as if she were praying (or sometimes on her lap if she is sitting). This originated from her trying to figure out what to do with her hands.
-She goes really still when she is nervous, instead of tapping her foot or many other nervous habits. This also applies to when she is afraid - she will be absolutely still until she can figure the situation out. Quirks:
-Stella is strongly susceptible to "brain freeze" when she eats cold foods, like ice cream.
-She always carries a peppermint cough drop with her. Fears:
- Stella cannot abide the thought of pain. Just thinking that something might hurt makes her afraid.
- Lizards frighten her, but she can't explain why. Aspirations:
- Stella yearns to raise a precious family of her own - this time with a partner that she truly loves.
- To aid others on their life journeys, and to help people find peace within themselves Loves:
- children and young adults (teenage-ish)
- a peaceful atmosphere
- seeing people find ways to be happy Likes:
- feeling a breeze or water running over her skin
- pottery (she uses it as a form of self-therapy, allowing her hands to move the clay as she uses her mind to heal her soul)
- raspberry flavored things Is Indifferent To:
- someone's past
- insults directed towards herself
- animals (except lizards) Dislikes:
- when people are cruel or rude to others
- voices raised in anger (would prefer to discuss calmly)
- carrots and peas Hates:
- war and violence
- when people die before they have lived a full life
- silantro Describe your character's voice: Stella is very soft-spoken and calm. She speaks evenly, and enunciates clearly. She also never uses contractions (it's an accident if one slips in!) Describe your character's walk: Unless it is important, she walks slowly and with grace, taking long, even steps. Describe your character's face: She has a smallish heart-shaped face. Although her nose is also small, it is kind of pointy. Describe your character's body: Slight, and a little shorter than average Describe your character's style: Stella prefers to wear toned-down colors, especially white, cream, or tan. She hardly ever wears bright clothing, and wears informal dresses unless doing physical labor. Describe your character's posture: Her posture is very straight and poised. She never slouches. Ever.  Describe any physical characteristics you feel necessary: The picture is of her Spirit form, which is about the size of a marble. Answer the following ten questions in character: What do you think is your best quality? "I hope that I am able to help the young find their way to peace as I have done, but I cannot know this." What do you think is your worst quality? "I know that I have many flaws, but I prefer not to dwell on them. Please do not ask me this." How do you react to confrontation? To kindness? "Confrontation is a knife tearing a hole in the pattern of the universe. Kindness is the needle that mends it." What do you think makes something funny? "It is important that humor does not hurt." How many licks would it take you to get to the center of a tootsie pop? "I am not sure. Would you like me to count?" If you could change one thing about yourself - physical, mental, or otherwise - what would you change? "There are many things I once wished to change, but I have come to terms with who I am." Tell me about the best relationship you've ever had - with a sibling, friend, parent, significant other, or anyone. "The best relationship I can possibly have is with myself. Until I accepted myself, I could not truly accept others." In a nutshell, how do you think people who like you would describe you? "I would like people who know me to think of me as an aide, a guide to self-knowledge and acceptance. Someone they can trust." In a nutshell, how do you think people who dislike you would describe you? "Many who have not found peace within themselves will scorn what I stand for. I hope those souls can find their way."How would you describe yourself? "I am one of many people in the tapestry of life. I am one who has found harmony within my life, and wish for the same for others. I am merely a small part of the lives of those around me, but I know that each moment affects final pattern."

 Name: Kamden Roy Keith Student or Professor: Student Nickname: Kam Age: 17 Gender: Male Race: Human Orientation: Heterosexual Relationship Status: "Open, come on in ladies!" History: Kamden and his twin sister were born in the Highlands of Scotland, in a small, tight-nit farming community. It was a closed off place that really didn't bother with the outside world other than to trade and gather necessities. Kamden and his twin grew up working at their father's farm, while their mother worked as a bar maid. Tales reached them of strange creatures that attacked at night, but he didn't think much of them. Until one night, when he was 14.
Their father had forgotten one of his tools, and it was close to night, so Kamden and his sister were sent with a lantern to get it. They discovered the tales to be true when they came face to face with a lone male werewolf. It seemed to be focused on attacking him, and Kamden was paralyzed with fear. At that moment, Renae stepped forward to meet the beast head-on. She used her lantern to set the beast aflame, but was bitten on her side.
The werewolf howled in pain as it fled, and Kamden howled his pain at seeing his sister take such a wound for him. This commotion brought their family down to see what had happened, and they tried to treat the wound, but the curse took hold despite their efforts. She was to be sent to a special school called Atlantis Academy, where she would be safe.

Hardly ever neutral Describe your character's body: Kind of thin, but with a slightly below average height for a guy Describe your character's style: He's a t-shirt and jeans kind of guy. Describe your character's posture: He apparently can't figure out the correct way to sit in a chair, because he's always slouched back so his neck rests on the back, or sitting backwards, or legs crossed, or hanging his legs over the arms, or any number of more "comfortable" positions. Describe any physical characteristics you feel necessary: none come to mind Answer the following ten questions in character: What do you think is your best quality? "Um. There's too many, I can't decide." What do you think is your worst quality? "The fact that I can't decide what my best quality is." How do you react to confrontation? To kindness? "Confrontation? I'm a total stud, I can handle it. Not at all get it awaaaayyyy. Kindness is good. Yeah. Ok." What do you think makes something funny? "Everything is funny." How many licks would it take you to get to the center of a tootsie pop? "How about, instead of me answering this question, you just give me a tootsie pop, and then I eat it, and then you give me another one."

 Name: Tessa/ Tonya Alberts TiaStudent or Professor: Student Nickname: Tess / none at present Age: 16 Gender: Female Race: shapeshifter Orientation: heterosexual / asexualRelationship Status: single History: She was born into a family of shapeshifters. Her mother shifted into a bird, her father into a bear, her brother a lion. Nobody in their long line of shifters had ever been born without the ability to shift, and their baby girl was no different. Except she was. Oh, she could shift alright, but a genetic mutation in the shifting gene has caused her soul to split, creating two distinct people. Tessa was the good half of her spirit - the part that could love, and empathize. Tonya was the other half, and could feel only negative emotions. Instead of being able to shift into an animal, they shifted into each other, warring for possession of the body.
As they grew, there were many difficulties leading a normal life, since they kept switching back and forth. The rest of the family could blend in with the humans, but when they were younger, Tessa and Tonya didn't realize the dangers of shifting between each other in public. The family moved after almost getting caught, and then kept the child hidden. She was homeschooled by her parents, but eventually it got to a point where they didn't have the knowledge necessary for a proper education, and decided to send her away to school. They chose Atlantis Academy after consulting with the headmaster about the situation. Tessa and Tonya were enrolled as separate students, and only the headmaster and their specific professors were told that they were, in fact, one being.
Although Tessa thought that the choice of school was innocent and apt, Tonya had another plan in mind. She wants to use the magic located beneath Atlantis against Tessa, and once she has accomplished that, to destroy everyone she who she felt has ever done her wrong. Which is pretty much everyone she has ever encountered. Weapons and/or Powers:
-Shifting: Tessa and Tonya are each halves of a whole person. They shift between each other, so one is in control when the other is not. When not in control, they are still aware of what is happening, and share senses, but they cannot communicate in any way without taking control. Personality:
Although Tessa may have the half of the soul that is soft, she is by no means weak - or she would never have had the strength to fight Tonya. She is just as strongly rooted in her beliefs of goodness as Tonya is of evil. However, she lacks the ability to hate, or even dislike someone or something. This is a weakness for her, but she balances it with empathy, choosing to twist it into a way to try to help people. She is always honest, as she lacks the ability to lie. She is responsible, patient, loyal, and courageous. Tonya is the opposite of Tessa in every way. She cannot feel love, or kindness, or empathy. She is deceitful and vicious, and has no qualms about using someone to her own ends. She is impatient and rude, and extremely aggressive. She cannot become close to people, she cannot even like them. If she favors one person above another, it is only because she believes that she can use them. She is loyal to no-one but herself, and desires most of all to be free of her pathetic counter-part.Character Flaws: Everything that Tonya is is a character flaw. Due to the nature of this character, just look to her personality section for far more than three flaws. Habits:
- Tessa always tries to face towards the center of a room, so she can see the most, instead of looking into a corner.
- Tonya constantly threatens people in her head for doing pretty much anything.Quirks:
- When standing still,Tessa will rock and back forth on her toes without realizing it.
- Tonya will simply stare at people when she's thinking.Fears:
- Losing herself if she becomes too weak to fight against Tonya for control of their body.
- bathrooms. Not an overwhelming fear, but every time she uses one she gets creeped out and thinks something awful is going to happen.
-Tonya lacks the capability to fear.Aspirations:
- to find a way to unite with her other half, becoming a complete person.
- to find a way to destroy her other half, giving herself complete freedom. Loves:
- learning
- animals
- cheesy love stories
- Tonya lacks the capability to love.Likes:
- fluffiness
- people in general
- banana cream pie
- Tonya lacks he capability to like.Is Indifferent To:
- all the things that, had she the capability, she would dislike
- what Tessa wants
- crueltyDislikes:
- Tessa lacks the capability to dislike.
- people
- compliments
- when other people think they are happyHates:
- Tessa lacks the capability to hate.
- learning
- animals
- cheesy love stories
- everything Tessa likesDescribe your character's voice: Tessa's voice is a little higher pitched than average. Some people would say it makes her seem sweet. Tonya's voice is deeper, but still has the same quality of sound - so they sound the same, but with different tones that reflect their personality.Describe your character's walk: Tessa bounces a little bit a she walks - not too noticeably, but it is there if you look. Tonya walks menacingly, almost like stalking prey.Describe your character's face: Tessa's face is kind of round and she has blue eyes, whereas Tonya's face is sharper, and she has black eyes. Apart from that, they both have the same general appearanceDescribe your character's body: They are similar in body appearance, being average height and weight. Nothing special, but nothing strange either. Describe your character's style: Tessa likes to wear cute clothes, but nothing too frilly. Tonya likes dark, almost gothic clothes. She favors black lace. Clothing shifts with them, so each will be wearing whatever they had on when they were last in control, regardless of what the other was wearing. Describe your character's posture: Both stand straight, but sit casually. Describe any physical characteristics you feel necessary: The two basically look like twins, with the few differences described. Tonya also has colorless hair, while Tessa has a light brown.Answer the following ten questions in character: What do you think is your best quality? "My ability to empathize." "My lack of emotion. I will crush the weak with my fury."What do you think is your worst quality? "I wish that I had the ability to dislike things. I can't even dislike the fact that I can't dislike things. It's strange." "Ha. All of the 'worst qualities' are stuck in Tessa, thank goodness."How do you react to confrontation? To kindness? "I try to avoid confrontation, but kindness warms my heart - both giving and receiving." "I don't react to confrontation, I create it. Especially in response to kindness."What do you think makes something funny? "I think laughter is really funny, actually. If other people are laughing, I can't help but laugh too." "Pain."How many licks would it take you to get to the center of a tootsie pop? "It took me 531. I tried it once.""You will feel pain." If you could change one thing about yourself - physical, mental, or otherwise - what would you change? "Unite myself with my sister. Obviously." "Kill the prat I have to share this body with. And then you."Tell me about the best relationship you've ever had - with a sibling, friend, parent, significant other, or anyone. "I've had a difficult time with any relationships, because of Tonya. Although they tried not to show it, even my family resented me because of her." "I will destroy you."In a nutshell, how do you think people who like you would describe you? "A sweet girl who's always nice." "Are you ready to face your death?"In a nutshell, how do you think people who dislike you would describe you? "Spineless and sort of pathetic." "Any last words?"How would you describe yourself? "I'm half of a whole, and will only ever be half of a whole until I can figure out a way to fix that. I just want to be complete." "Goodbye, you annoying pig. I hope you enjoy your final moments."Class Schedule: 1- Computer Systems 2- Metal Working 3- Swordsmanship

 Name: Tobias Anderson Student or Professor: Student Nickname: Toby (Will not tell people his name is Tobias. Ever. Although teachers find out from roster lists and his mother calls him that.) Age: 19 Gender: Male Race: Cursed Human Orientation: heterosexual Relationship Status: single History:
Toby was born a normal human boy, and grew up in an average life. He lived in a suburb in New York, played soccer for most of his life, did alright in school, and spent a lot of time hanging out with friends. Until one day when he was 16, when he was playing tug-of-war with his dog, Max. He wasn't looking, and when Max ran out into the street, Toby followed, still holding on to the rope. There wasn't a lot of traffic in his neighborhood, so it usually wasn't a problem, and the local kids played games in the street all the time.
That day, however, a witch was driving through. She lived at the very end of the street, and was very reserved and quiet - nobody in the neighborhood really knew her. One day, though, she had gone through a very trying day. She was extremely irritated and impatient, and just wanted to get home. She had almost made it, when a boy and his dog suddenly raced into the street in front of her car. She slammed on the brakes and skidded to a stop, barely stopping the car from hitting them. The anger she had tried to keep on a leash finally broke free, and the witch leaped out of the car, shaking her fist at the boy and screaming before getting back in her car and driving home.
Toby, of course, didn't understand the words - because they were a spell. As soon as she had left, he began to feel very woozy, and he fell unconscious in the middle of the street. His family, who had heard the screaming, rushed outside to see what happened, and saw him lying there. They brought him inside, laid him on his bed, and went to call the hospital to see if there was anything they should do. While they were gone, he woke up - but he didn't wake up human. He was trapped in the form of a dog very similar to his own. Although the witch had apparently felt extra cruel, because he was less than half the size of Max.
He tried living with his family as usual, but it simply wasn't possible. He couldn't live the life he had loved, since his family forced him to keep his transformation a secret. He was cut off from his friends, he couldn't do almost anything he had done before, and even his family started to treat him less as a person. He was sick of it, and he wanted to get away - but he was barely more than a puppy, and he was so small he looked like one. Where could he go?
When he was 17, he was contacted by a school called Atlantis Academy, a place where he could (hopefully) find a place to be accepted once again. He has been attending ever since.
Note: Like all curses, this one can be broken, and the way to break it is defined. I have chosen, however, to not include this information publicly, so that people won't be all like "HEY, let's go break the curse!" If it happens, it happens, but I am in no way encouraging any curse-breaking behavior. ^^Weapons and/or Powers:
- Mind-Speak: Uses his mind to project words instead of speaking. It takes some concentration to project it in general (the equivalent of normal speech), and very intense, acute concentration to talk to just one person (the equivalent of a whisper)
- Teeth and Claws and such
- He can also see in color just like a human, but has canine smell and hearing. Personality: Toby is not exactly a human trapped in dog form. The shape that he is in constantly affects him, giving him a very dog-like personality that he tries to fight down in order to be his normal self. Toby is normally friendly but kind of shy. He does not forgive easily, but is extremely loyal. He has a tendency to be very jealous, which does not change even when his dog tendencies take over. He is confident about most things, but anything that has to do with the fact that he is a dog is extremely embarrassing to him - especially when he loses control, which happens a lot. When his inner dog comes out, Toby is extremely friendly and excitable. He loses most of his reservations and instantly loves everyone. He likes to play and be petted, and acts pretty much like, well, a dog. Toby hates it. Character Flaws:
Jealous: What's his is his, and nobody better touch it.
Temperamental: He is constantly at war with himself, switching rapidly between his happy-go-lucky excited dog self and his more reserved and extremely embarrassed self.
Unforgiving: It takes a very, very long time for Toby to forgive someone. While he may forgive temporarily when his inner dog takes over, that forgiveness will be gone as soon as he has control of himself again. Habits:
- scratching his ear
- letting his tongue hang out (only until he realizes he is doing it) Quirks:
- When he is trying to concentrate, he often lays down and covers his face with his paws
- He's a burrower. Meaning he likes to be enclosed, like under a blanket or in a tight space between a cupboard and a wall, or something. He will burrow his face under things if he doesn't control himself. Fears:
- losing his identity and becoming just another dog
- thunder (only since he was transformed) Aspirations:
- to break the curse and become himself again Loves:
- being petted or scratched
- playing doggy games, like fetch or ball or tug-of-war
- chocolate - he misses being able to eat it whenever he wanted without getting sick Likes:
- soccer

- attention Is Indifferent To:
- being in water
- music
- dirt. Even when he was human, he wouldn't really mind being dirty (not smelly. just dirty) Dislikes:
- cats
- hot days
- the fact that he likes attention Hates:
- being petted or scratched
- playing doggy games, like fetch or ball or tug-of-war
- when people don't think he deserves to be treated like a person worthy of respect just because he looks like a dog Describe your character's voice: He barks unintelligibly like a dog, but can also use his mind-speak ability to communicate Describe your character's walk: Walks like a dog. Runs like a dog. Bouncy when he's not in control, more reserved when he is. Describe your character's face: Its a dog face. See pic. Describe your character's body: He is a small dog, a Mini Aussie. He is at the very end of the puppy stage, and is about 13" tall. Describe your character's style: Back when he wore clothes, he would usually wear jeans with a polo or a t-shirt with an open dress-shirt over it. Describe your character's posture: Sort of like a dog that hasn't been properly trained, so he's kind of proud Describe any physical characteristics you feel necessary: I think that about covers it, but I'll add more if I figure something out later that needs to be added. Answer the following ten questions in character: What do you think is your best quality? "That's kind of an awkward question." What do you think is your worst quality? "The fact that I'm a dog right now." How do you react to confrontation? To kindness? "Confrontation? I guess I'd try to deal with it without it getting out of hand. I appreciate kindness and will respond in turn." What do you think makes something funny? "Far too many things are funny when I lose control. But I really like puns, although I've never been very good at them." How many licks would it take you to get to the center of a tootsie pop? "I'm pretty sure I'm not supposed to eat those. Or does a tootsie roll not count as chocolate?" If you could change one thing about yourself - physical, mental, or otherwise - what would you change? "Break this blasted curse and become human again. Obviously." Tell me about the best relationship you've ever had - with a sibling, friend, parent, significant other, or anyone. "I was best friends with a girl named Alicia, before I got cursed and had to break off contact with her." In a nutshell, how do you think people who like you would describe you? "I dunno, kind of sweet?" In a nutshell, how do you think people who dislike you would describe you? "An idiot dog." How would you describe yourself? "I'm just an average guy. That's all I am. Just an average guy stuck in a dog's body because of unfortunate circumstances."

Carry me through the night
Hold me secure in flight
Sing me to sleep tonight"

"I need the product of your fears
In the form of tears -
It's the only way I can survive.
It breaks my heart to see you crying, baby
It's the only way I'll stay alive."

That this will be easy.
It's not a miracle ya need, believe me.
Yeah, I'm no angel, I'm just me,
but I will love you endlessly."

"Once in a lifetime does not happen again,
So I took a chance in a gamblers' game -
Put my heart on the line.
And maybe I'm crazy, but I'll never regret
What I said to a girl I knew before we even met."

"'Cause lovers dance when they're feeling in love.
Spotlight's shining, its all about us.
It's ah-ah-all
About uh-uh-us,
And every heart in the room will melt.
This is a feeling I've never felt,
But it's all
about
us"

Like its the first day of our lives.
Right here and now, no second chances -
Maybe we'll finally get it right."

"Shelter me oh genius words!
Just give me strength
To pen these things,
And give me peace to well her wings,
And oh, oh carry on all you minstrels of the world."
