Quote #47
"There’s always blacksheep. Ergualph’s assisting us over his own race, is he not? And the orcs have aided him in the past in spite of having had their kingdom destroyed by humans. And no amount of change is going to keep me from helping my friends. You have right to worry.” Ornos sat up. “You’re just the middleman. You haven’t got any binds to the elves or to the dwarves, you have no reason to accept this fate yourself. Damon and I are the only who really do.” He smiled wryly. “I suppose I am a little more like him than I like to admit, aren’t I?”
Carnus laughed humorlessly. “You hardly know the half of it.” He shook his head. “If Damon agrees to it even after speaking to Ormek, then I won’t have any choice in the matter, will I? I can’t just leave my brothers to go through such a moronic decision on their own. Same principle as you with the elves or Damon with his dwarves; you’re my family. I’ve abandoned one of you once and I don’t intend to ever do it again regardless the circumstances.”
Both were quiet for quite some time, as Ornos continued gazing up at the sky; and after some time of watching stars appear in the darkening void around the fingernail moon, Ornos looked over, frowning. “We’re not supposed to hug now, are we? Because I’m not and you can’t make me.”
“I’d sooner throw myself off the roof of this stable.”
“Good. That sounds more like you, I was starting to get worried there.”
-------------------------------
I love writing these two. I'm going to cry so hard when I have to kill off Ornos towards the end. D': And said faun has already warned me that his decomposing reanimated corpse will haunt my nightmares if I go through with it, but neither Akino nor Janus are letting me back down from it. >:/

Quote #48
It was some forty-five minutes later that Ornos found half of what he was looking for out in the woods a couple miles outside town, sitting under a tree and examining a hand-carven set of pipe flutes with a mildly quizzical look—but this was absolutely only half of what he was looking for, and Ornos frowned down at the discovery before it noticed him and tackled his legs excitedly with a few loud yells of, “Daddy!”
Ornos looked down at his son, frowning. “What’re you doing alone out here? Where’s your uncle?”
“He went to catch Horsey.”
“Horse—?”
A moment later, as though to answer Ornos’ question before it was even fully spoken, a loud neighing sounded from very nearby and he was sideswiped just enough to stumble into a nearby tree. A horse galloped off in the direction of town, and a loud swear issued from behind it—Ornos turned to see another faun frowning after the beast rather helplessly with a broken carrot in one hand. “That didn’t work half a well as I expected it would.”
[skippedparagraph:O]
Though it had been nearing a year since he had last seen his brother, Ornos’ first words weren’t in greeting, but rather slight disbelief: “What’re you doing with a horse?”
“I caught him wild in Chloris and I’ve been trying to tame him for a few months.”
“I see it’s going well, what with all his stampeding and knocking people into trees. You of course realize I’m going to murder you with that broken carrot you’re holding there? I don’t like people leaving my three-year-old son alone out in the woods.”
Carnus frowned at his hand, then at his younger brother. “What, this carrot? Forget the carrot, that’s just horse food,” he said, tossing it over his shoulder. “I’ve managed to catch a duck.” Ornos now saw his brother had a dead duck slung over his shoulder, as he held it up by its neck.
“How am I supposed to kill you with a dead duck?”
“It’s for cooking, not murder.”
-------------------------
The sole reason why this novel is becoming twenty times more comedic than I expected is dialogue between these two.

"Did I hear you correctly, boy?"
"No, sir. Absolutely not. Please don't hit me with your unibrow."
Such things happen when I, my brother, and a couple of our friends gather to examine the new Zelda game. I'll have to post some of our Minecraft conversations eventually. Those are nothing short of amazing...and rather morbid.

Quote #51
"I was watching a werewolf episode of Monsterquest earlier and the weirdest thought came to me. So, like this great big werewolf walks up to this guy in a long raincoat, and the guy's like 'AAAAAAH IT'S AN EVIL BLOODTHIRSTY WEREWOLF!' But then another guy walks up and opens the raincoat and says, 'Don't worry, it's not a werewolf; it's just two regular wolves standing on each others' shoulders.'"
My brother. He's also responsible for coining the phrase, "Forget the pot calling the kettle black. This is like the pot calling the kettle on the phone: it just doesn't make any damn sense." Yeah.

Bonus quote! Not including this one in with the numbers. I just wanted to show the exchange so far in the teacher-bullying-student-over-religion saga I'm in at the moment. Original post by my friend:
So I've been doing tons of research since I decided to give Christianity a try and I found out so much that I didn't know. For example: what I believe in and what Christians believe in are scarily similar. I also found out that you can be any religion and still be a Witch. It's possible to be both. So I believe that I've found the path that I want to be on. I believe that I've always been a Christian Witch, I just never knew it until I had a reason to research it.
Comments:
Teacher: Please see the 10 Commandments. [snarky, isn't she?]
Friend: Oh, you mean the first one? Yeah, that one is the only one I can't figure out. [Didn't get angry; was completely honest.]
Comma: Paganism on the whole allows the worship of any god or set of gods; so, in effect, you would still abide the first commandment, I should think. "Thou shalt have no other God before me." Thus, the Christian God would be your highest god. I tend to look at it in an heirarchy system (though I'm more pantheistic, personally). The God and the Goddess (in Christianity, this may be represented by the Virgin Mary and Christ), are below the ultimate higher power (in Christianity, this is represented by the Lord; in pantheism, this highest god and the universe on the whole are one in the same). To be honest, there are many, many parallels between paganism and Christianity. Thus I can't see why they often have so much trouble getting along. If people would take the time to do the research, there wouldn't be so much discrimination between the two sects. We both teach acceptance; so why can't we accept each other? So yes, I believe you could be both; I believe it's a grand idea, in fact, to branch the two together. It might show people something they really need to see. [Wrote out unbiased opinion alongside facts in hopes that someone might learn something.]
Comma: And pardon my textwall; theology study is sort of a weird hobby of mine. Sorry about that. [Apologized for textwall.]
Fellow student of friend: Wow lol i just learned alot throw readin that lol ha ha ha [Learned something; mission accomplished.
Teacher: I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them or serve them.3 It is written: "You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve."4 [Learned nothing, just Bible'd. Proved Comma's point about God being at the top from the pagan stance.]
Teacher: so.... no you can't really have both... or all.... sorry [Reiterates how she learned nothing.]
Friend: Thank you, Katey, I like that you have an open mind. And I have no problem with your "textwall" it reinforced what I already knew to be true.  [Ignores stupid teacher; glad she has that sort of willpower.]
Comma: That verse still reiterates everything I said. Do people not also worship Christ and the Virgin Mary? And what about angels? And they're not gods, so thus there is still no other God before Him. I wasn't saying to worship any other God. Christianity is monotheistic; but there are still holy beings beneath God that people respect, that people pray to. This is absolutely all I was referring to, in the respect that it is similar to old pre-Christian pagan ways, which consisted of an upper singular God, a male and a female deity below (which could be represented by holy individuals), and lower deities (which could be represented by angels). I really don't know how to make it any clearer that I wasn't suggesting the worship of other actual god outside Christianity, that I was only pointing out some intriguing parallels, but okay. I guess theology is just more intriguing to me than it is others. I apologize sincerely if there was any misunderstanding or I affronted you in any way. [Tries reiterating her point; willing to give teacher another chance to understand that we're not all that different. Politely apologizes for any misunderstanding or offense taken.]
Comma: You're welcome. I'm glad to hear someone's seen the same thing I have between these two beautiful ways of life. I'm glad you didn't mind lol...like I said, I can get carried away on theology.  [Responding to friend; also adding in hopes that teacher might see it that I'm not by any means against Christianity.]
Teacher: No protestant worships the Virgin Mary... Christ is a part of God. So worshiping Him is worshiping God. [When did I mention Protestants? I spoke only of Christianity on the whole. Their general views. Just because the Virgin Mary isn't worshiped certainly doesn't mean she's not there, and it doesn't mean she's not respected. The God and Goddess are both a part of the higher power in neopaganism, so thank you for proving my point again, dear.]
Teacher: This is why going to Church is important [Why? So I can become a close-minded teacher who doesn't understand punctuation or capitalization and bullies her students about important life decisions, too? Oh, gee whiz golly gee, just what I always wanted!] -_-; Yeah. I'm not bothering replying again. Hopefully in spite of her words I made her think a little, but I highly doubt it. So, whatevs. I'll gladly respond to my friend should she say anything back, but I'll let this silly woman go on thinking she won. That's all these sorts of people are, anyway; apathetic egoists. "I don't care what you think because I know, despite knowing nothing about your way, that my way is better." That's the extent of it. That's the extent of most people around here. |

I have something against Christians like that. Sometimes I wonder if i should quote to them 'Religion is like having a d*ck. It's alright to have one but please don't take it out in public, wave it around, then stick it down my throat.' I understand they think their religion is the best and everyone should be a Christian but really, when I say no, I really, really mean no. I've tried Christianity, it didn't work out for me, and this so-called God's Word has many loopholes and things that don't make sense to me.
If we don't accept Christ, does this mean an unborn fetus who dies in its mother's stomach goes to hell? If your God is really so good, why does he try to kill everyone with earthquakes and tsunamis, if they have the chance to turn to him? How the heck does Adam and Eve's children find WIVES in villages if they were supposedly the only people in the world? Why the heck were Adam and Eve naked in the first place, if lacking clothes is a sin in the priests' eyes? Wouldn't they be just accepting their roots? Why does God need to make the sun on the fourth day if he's already made light on the first day?
I could honestly go on about this. If I had to have a religion, I'd choose Buddhism. Why? Because they don't oppress, they don't try to change everyone, they listen and believe in themselves, that we're all 'Little Buddhas'. And they don't fight wars with people from other religions. Buddha never called himself a god, and never asked us to worship him.
Sorry for posting this in your page, but it's sort of related. I hope you don't mind (delete if you do)

Nah, I don't mind anyone posting anywhere in my journal. I encourage it, even. It gets a bit quiet in here at times.
But yeah. Same reasons I've chosen neopaganism. We teach acceptance without bias; acceptance for any and all. Everyone strays from the light, and everyone is negative sometimes; according to the law of threefold, both negative energy and positive energy you give off through your thoughts and actions will come back to you threefold, in some way or other, even if it's just in feeling or in conscience. The wars that pagans have fought in the past haven't been by choice; they've gotten bullied and forced into them. It's a sad history, all in all.
I'd take time to reply a bit more, but apparently I'm going to the movies. So I probably should get off the computer.
