Today was long yet again. This life of watching these weak humans walk by without realizing who I am has once more annoyed me. To be bound and caged the way I am, that is my biggest challenge for now. When I see the marks of the spell used to contain me, I want to explode. I want to roar, live free again, to rule and feed as I used to. Being forced to live without what fuels my power is beyond exhausting. The one who holds me is the one I despise. He was the one who placed that damned spell on me. Still he watches. Only the few who know of my existence either fear me still or wish for my head on a silver platter. I can only laugh. The King was someone to fear. He was powerful; I was powerful. I am the King. I am the one who should be free, but those who resisted had managed cage me. My own kind resisted! Those traitors did not realize what I could have offered them. That one in particular. He survived my initial attack, then he was stupid enough to come after me again. I had him, but my guards were useless. Still he lives. Then I saw him again that night, the night where I was sealed away within my own self. I see him every day now. We laugh at each other as friends, but that is nothing more than a mere façade. We both want to kill the other. I want to kill him so I could be free. He wants to kill me to rid this world of the King. It is simple for him to end me. Yet both of us live. Why he hasn’t struck me down? That I still don’t and may never understand.

Dethroned, A work I've dedicated too much time in
Dethroned is another project of mine. I started working on it December 2012. It is something that I am actually considering publishing soon. Here's the Prologue and I have Chapter One posted as well if you're interested.

New Page Up
So, as I'm reteaching myself the world of Blogger, I found a way to post all of Shadows Chapter One as a Page. Instead of the wonderfully long post I had on here yesterday, I've deleted it and have the Page instead. Hope this makes reading easier! :)

Hello World!
Hello! My name is Lysee and I have decided to start this blog to be a place where I can post, meet, and possibly converse with the world outside of my own head about stories that I write. Now, what do I like to write? Well, I tend to lean toward fiction. Or as I like to describe it, "a vampire here, a spell there, and a lot of craziness in between." Though I also like to use the time to think about how certain situation could affect the interactions between my characters, such as "Would Mila be able to accept her Shadow's secret?" That is a genuine question from one of my more recent works, Shadows. Most of my titles are still subject to change. So if you have a better idea, don't hesitate to tell me! I'll post later a short synopsis of the stories I have started. Yeah, I have more than one. I tend to think about multiple story lines at once, which I consider as a writer's version of add, self-diagnosed of course. Any questions, comments, concerns, or ideas you may have, let me know, please. I'm always willing to hear criticism and advice. Look forward to hearing from you! :)
