Turgor by Darlantanis, literature

Literature

Turgor

Trees, a sea, scarlet flame, golden fire which gives to decay, boughs sloughed free of year's min'strations, bark bare bones stand starkly. Wind, chill, biting, caressing, teasing cheek with fate's finality. All fades beneath time's foot, endlessly crushed to ashen dust. Sun sets, webs stretch, barring off now black sky. Light pricks edged horizon, pale beams stretched impossibly far. Stark, cold, plains now frozen, black bones fast 'gainst encompassing bleak. This light carries no warmth, winter's envoy of time's design. Forever could the world hold stagnant, a frozen museum for a forgotten age. Yet we know with death comes life, the demise of now the birth of next. The sun, that raging incandescent inferno. Brighter than cinnabar, indifferent to death. To think the wastes could hold against it! So the verdant pricks against the lost, so the boughs lift a new burden, so the ash melds to the earth. A lush canopy bars the azure sky, obscures the sanguine crest, drinks the void's

The Blight by Darlantanis, literature

Literature

The Blight

“Far to the southern wastes ye go, seeker of legends, hunter of gold? Hark, traveler, heed not the call, no riches abound, no glory be found, a lingering death you will find. Your flesh be ren’t, life sucked dry, pestilence abound, rot into the ground. Heed the warnings of the elders, lest ye become one with the Blight.” - An ill-informed amateur poet’s attempt to warn travelers away from the Blight The Blight Black tendrils twist from the soil, sheathed in razor-sharp plates of steel-like wood, gouged to drink the blood of any foolish enough to brush against it. Great, fleshy stalks tower into the sky lik

Thoughts about thoughts by Darlantanis, literature

Literature

Thoughts about thoughts

I feel as if my thoughts are very basic. If I feel said, it is not that I think “I am sad” and feel sad; rather, sadness is my thought. It is as if my basic thoughts are feelings and all higher thoughts is a complex structure of feelings. To me, all words have feeling. Every word has a unique feeling that I physically feel in my mind, and how the word feels is the word’s meaning. I know not how to describe these feelings, for I have no words with which to relate; English simply lacks the words. How could I describe these feelings in words? Words are feeling to me, so to describe the basic feelings that make up words would be

Forsaken -AT- by Darlantanis, literature

Forsaken -AT-

Snow sweeps across the landscape; wind howls through rent gouged valleys bearing bitter bone-chill cold. Such thick clouds, such endless frost, what branch could strive for life? No sun shines, no light breaks through, all warmth spent in fair’r fields. Green plains thrive, verdant vistas bless’d with bounty; no warmth spared to th’ frozen tomb. Why grant life to th’ forlorn vale? Why share health with a foreign forgotten forsaken unwanted unknown unneeded lonesome land? Let th’ broken trees fight for life while the lifed turn their heads away. None shall glimpse the frozen; none shall s

I by Darlantanis, literature

Literature

I

I woke to the light of sun and moon, smiling down upon my face. Strange it was I did not think that they be found in the same place. So I laughed and ran and jumped and played: of no care was there a trace. Oh the sun with her radiant smile, her light did bring me warmth. I could lay under her loving gaze and forever be safe. I would be good for her. Oh the moon and his calming light, was always an isle amid the sea. To such heights he said I'd reach; higher than he I'd climb. I would be good for him. Amid the fields I would play with the others; blind was I to their stares. An arrow'd graze my cheek; a rock'd bruise my

Aelinos Glacignis by Darlantanis, literature

Literature

Aelinos Glacignis

Endless fields of verdant plains... steel-grey jaws of mountains high... swirling rage of oceans deep... mighty wrath of heavens above... And to the stars our light shall shine... by the moon oh child of mine... through th' rippling astral sea... to th' very edge of time... And once the darkness fades away... we'll be together on shores of grey... be at peace, oh silver son... take the rest you've surely won...

Lone by Darlantanis, literature

Literature

Lone

A tight embrace, a loving kiss, a sign of affection, a bond between brothers, the ties of a family. Always do they greet with love, always do they display brotherhood. A gentle smile graces the face of one; rays of golden light break the gloom of despair from the countenance of his brother, for they know true kinship: the joy of one washes over the other, consuming him much like flames to twigs of a dry fire. He sees that his brother is happy; how can he not join in such joy, for what darkness can there be in a world where his brother is happy? So they embrace, not just the brothers but the family in its whole, brothers

Time by Darlantanis, literature

Literature

Time

Walk, walk, onward, onward, walk, walk, breathe ever slow. Walk, walk, onward, onward, walk, walk, bleed from your soles. Onward, onward, walking onward, onward, onward, grind down the bone. Onward, onward, always onward, onward, onward, no turning back. Breathless, breathless, oh so breathless, breathless, breathless, no rest in sight. Ashes, ashes, dust and ashes, ashes, ashes, onward you go. Walk, walk, onward, onward, walk, walk, bleed from your soul. Walk, walk, eternally, walk, walk, forevermore.

Tear by Darlantanis, literature

Literature

Tear

Falling, falling, falling through space, an imperfect orb, glist'ning with light, holding an ashen face gripped 'neath solid steel visage. Simple, so simple, this falling form, analyzed eas'ly, eas'ly created; yet powerful its grasp, a vessel greater than comprehension, more than a shriek, a cry, a final gasp, more than a library in its bounds. Unseen, unheard, carrier of all and more, the last plea of his fallen form, perfect in imperfection, beautif'ly dark, echoing with forgotten shrieks and whimpers and vain, crashes to the unforgiving stone, giving all its secrets, all its dark knowings in a final cry inaudible to th

The Lantern Bearer by Darlantanis, literature

Literature

The Lantern Bearer

Hark, the call of the lantern bearer! The lantern bearer! The lantern bearer! He'll lead us on his wanderings! He'll lead us from the dark! Hark the lantern bearer! Give a soul, he'll give a soul! His ghostly lantern will bring light to the path, and we may be led to truth. Give us a soul! Give us a soul! Give us a soul, and we'll be whole! Black strips around his hand do wind, the mark of our lost soul. He is us! He is us! He will save us because he is us! Let us follow the lantern bearer, so that we may come to life. Let us follow the lantern bearer so we may not know strife. The flame! The flame! I want the flame for my

Defiance of the End - Prologue by Darlantanis, literature

Literature

Defiance of the End - Prologue

The door was immense, appearing to be a massive tablet set in the wall fused into a single piece; it was carved of a dark blue stone, the same color as the rest of the chamber, making it distinguishable from the rest of the wall only by the symbol inscribed upon it. Upon the door, inscribed in lines a handbreadth wide, was a great, leafless tree, surrounded by arcane symbols whose meaning had long been lost. The lines were soft silver in color, shimmering and seeming to flow as a river flows beneath the soft impetus of a calm spring breeze. Light was cast from the symbol, gently brightening the darkness of the chamber before the door, making

My Bio

Outwardly, I seem to be a cold, indifferent person who couldn't care less about a thing around him. Inwardly, I used to be caring and compassionate toward anybody who so much as said hello to me. I'd always try to be the person you could rely on, to be the one who would stay up late into the night so you could tell me about your troubles, to always be there when needed, to be the person who cared about the answer to "How are you?". While often frustrated by the fact that I do not think like most people and therefore have difficulty reading or interacting with others, I simply tried to ignore that so I could help others with their problems.

Now? Outwardly I'm still pretty much the same. Inwardly... well, the biggest difference would likely be I no longer quite "put myself out there" for the sake of others, as it's said. Too many instances of it ending badly for myself and the other and very rare for me to make a positive impact. I still care even if I do so silently, but unlikely to show much of myself to those who do not get to know me.

Simply put, I'm too tired to continue as I used to.

Dragons are awesome.

I have Aspergers. For those of you who do not know what that is, it is a form of autism involving social impairments.

I am much more of a writer than I am an artist. I have very little skill at drawing and the like, but I like to think I am at least somewhat decent at writing. I greatly enjoy roleplaying, and perhaps this is why.

I've got a Skype. If you want it, ask, but don't complain if I say no.

Update

1 min read

So I guess it's been 6 years or so since I last posted anything here. So I'm not dead yet but I remain fairly unlikely to pick up activity again here. With that in mind... My main art site now is furaffinity. It's here if you feel like following me (18+ warning): https://www.furaffinity.net/user/darlantanis/ Are you somebody who used to chat with me and would like to catch up? My Discord is Nadyr#6367. I'll accept friend requests I don't recognize for a week or two but after that you'd be best sending me a note on furaffinity first as I'll likely forget about this journal by then. Now to summarize the six years I've been inactive. I finished graduate school with a master's in chemistry and now work in purifications. I moved away from home then sort of back. Most of my online life has moved to Discord while much of my free time now goes to managing and developing for a spacestation13 server. That's about it. Add me on discord if you want to chat.

Anthrocon

So Anthrocon is less than a week away now. Feel free to wave or whatnot if you happen to be going and spot me there. In other news today is Anthrocon Day in Pittsburgh. Seems the mayor didn't get the memo about Anthrocon not always being held the weekend of the 4th.

Advancement of Education

0 min read

So as some of you may be aware, I applied to several doctoral programs a few months ago. After much deliberation (as well the processes of actually being admitted to graduate programs), I've accepted an admission to a doctoral program in chemistry. My tuition is covered in full and I'll be recieving a montly teaching assisstanceship stipend. Most of my news tends to be bad, so I thought I'd share some good news for once. I'm definitely quite glad with this; it means I may pursue my education further immediately rather than enter the work force. Until next time or whatnot.
