Havenblock
Now Muses are formed not conceived. So back when creators were cultured and appreciative, full Muse families were formed. A full Muse family consisted of a mother figure contrasted in color by a father figure and two pre-muses who started life at seven years of age. Sometimes the pre-muses were contrasting, but more often than not, they were twins. In the rare instances of early summers, figures were not given pre-muses immediately. They would have to wait until the spring blossoms and the music reappeared. Sometimes spring season would be overcast, so the sunshine and the butterflies were few and far between. And sometimes, other Havens needed Muses, such as Havenchord; where the Muses of Lyrics and Instruments lived, because technology took all the musicians away. All three catalysts were the reasons that Jean and Galatea were not given a pre-muse, well that and the fact that Galatea was a sculptor and Jean was a painter and they were too busy making the world over and above Havenstroke majestically delightful. So God gave them Rima, a poetic Muse.

The Inevitability of Chaos
Chapter 1 After hours of pondering my current situation, I have come to the conclusion that death is fast approaching. There is no other way to see it. Here I am, sitting on a train, in a first class carriage, with a very angry looking man across from me, holding a spear to my throat. The spear one gentle caress away from ripping open my soul and laughing as my life spills down from my body. Leaving it lifeless and empty.

DO WHAT YOU LOVE
Erica woke up and rubbed the sleep from her eyes. As her eyes slowly focused, she realized that she wasn’t in her bed. She was on a train! Looking out the window, she saw nothing but blurred trees and skies. “Where am I?” she wondered. She tried to replay the events of last night, but she couldn’t remember much. Did she buy a train ticket to somewhere? She checked her purse and her pockets. Nope. No train ticket. And then she noticed that she was the only one on the train car. She tried to check her phone to see where her mapping program locates her at. But the map program wasn’t working. She looked closely at her phone: no service. “Great, just great,” she whispered to herself. What was she going to do now?

Out of the Caged Sea
There weren’t always dragons in the Valley. They came in fishing boats, in merchant vessels, in the backs of wagons, on horseback, on foot. They came dressed as farmers and millers and blacksmiths. They came slowly, patiently. They looked like you. They looked like me. We thought that they were allies, friends, family. By the time we knew the truth, it was too late.

Vanta black
Nobody can hear you scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But the echo of the wailing is deafening. I hear it now even as I dream. The events plaguing me like a illness. Always scraping at the base of my skull. A parasite, threatening infestation.

The Fool’s Journey
“There weren’t always dragons in the Valley. But there were cats and dogs. There used to be many more dogs around before those big lizards came flying about. Now, if you’re lucky enough to still own a pet you better keep it locked up, especially around lunch time if you know what I mean”

Band of the Raven
Kiara closed her eyes once again and focused on the empty space. Within a few moments the sound of water flooded back into her ears and footsteps pounded above her. She opened her eyes quickly and gasped loudly for air. Her body fell over itself as she grabbed her chest. She panted frantically to regain her composure. You need to relax before our heart gives out. Valkyria’s voice echoed. "It would be a shame if we didn’t even make it out of this cellar."
