Where imagination reigns. . .
The zephyrs grew stronger, spiraling around her, encasing her in a colourless cocoon. Her captured hair was set free and began to sway with unheard music. Two rips appeared in the back of her dress. The cloud nymphs drew closer, speeding the zephyrs into a spinner around her. Feathers trickled out of the slits. As the static in the air increased, so did the flow of feathers. They began forming on their own, beginning at the slits and reaching upward. Clouds formed a place for her feet and she stood. Her cobalt hair streaming around her, she began to dance. The feathers followed her still, following her movements. The little cloud nymphs danced with her, mimicking her every move. A feeling built up inside her as she danced, danced for him. As the clouds lifted, so did she. Higher she danced almost becoming one with the wind.
Let Go.
Throwing her head back she opened her mouth and screamed. But instead, a melody shot from her lips. The air around her exploded. Loose feathers shot away from her. The rest stayed, connected to her. The feathers, once a dull grey, rippled, becoming white. Wings finished forming and stretched behind her. Free. She was free.
Be free.
… I didn’t really want to let you go
But inside of me, I knew I must.
The times we’ve loved…the times you’ve left…
My heart said leave… but my mind I must trust…
Should I stay with you?
She smiled. She would stay; for a while at least, whether it was a moment or forever. For to immortals, there is no real difference.
She was free
Back to the world, i'll make my own way, proving to you that i can. only to throw it away.
I could write something intellegent and meaningful. . . or not.
Stop right there. That's exactly where I lost it.
See that line. Well I never should have crossed it.
When in doubt, use duct tape. If duct tape won't work, call in back up.

But the unarmed (Or empty hand) techniques are fun in theyre own separate and educational way.
My instructor knows so much history, which he works into practice. And he keeps it intresting enough that I would actualy take a history course from this guy. Voluntarily!?!
This all leads up to my martial arts instructor who teaches eikedo monday night, mixed martial arts (mma) wednesday night, and friday we do weapons practice. (My brother got me hooked there once the doc said no to wrestling.)
I dont actualy know basicaly its when the wether permits.
Yeah the only thing thats kept me out of sword withdrawls has been Ikido (mispelled) MMA and weapons nights. I have a good instructor.
