For some reason, yall seem to dislike the chat thread, and are totally misusing random! Ahem. Lol. Anyway, this sorta makes the night club more official! Hehehe. Post away! *winking smiley* Yodeling Dwarf on "CHAMPAIGN PARTY! ***URGENT***" http://www.heedtheprophecies.com/theunderground/topic.php?id=483#post-83463 Wed, 08 Sep 2010 14:38:06 +0000 Yodeling Dwarf 83463@http://www.heedtheprophecies.com/theunderground/ I just got word from Mr. Batson that the party will, indeed, be on October 16th in Champaign, IL. The party will be early afternoon, around 2 pm, hopefully, and will most likely be at the Barnes & Noble, or somewhere near there. And the party will be open to the public. However, in order to secure the spot at B&N, he needs to be able to tell them, "Yeah, we have an estimated __ people showing up." Then the B&N manager can faint and (when he/she wakes up) say, "WE'LL TAKE YOU! PLEASE DO YOUR PARTY HERE!" Soooo... What I need you to EMAIL me: An estimate of how many people will be coming (including family members) I will then forward those numbers to Mr. Batson, who will then forward them to the publisher, who will then forward to them to the manager, who will then faint. Get them to me ASAP! <a href="mailto:yodelingdwarf@gmail.com">yodelingdwarf@gmail.com</a> That is all. Thank you.

Before you create a new thread use the search engine or manually search for a thread similar or the same to what you wanted to do. 2. Respect other members and treat them as you would be treated. 3. Refrain from vulgar language, use your moderation, just ask yourself what if it would be in any way possible offensive to another member and go from there. 4. This (in my opinion) was meant to be a Christian forum, if you're not a Christian, that is fine we respect that, if you wish to go against us in our beliefs, please do so on the debate thread, and not elsewhere, have reasonable statements for your arguments as well as factual arguments. 5. Anything else? Jake on "Chapter from My Novel!" http://www.heedtheprophecies.com/theunderground/topic.php?id=339#post-61689 Fri, 21 May 2010 21:07:21 +0000 Jake 61689@http://www.heedtheprophecies.com/theunderground/ Hey, y'all (don't know why I put that bit in there...)! I just posted a chapter from my novel (second one, actually) and I thought I'd put it on UG... So tell me wat'cha think! I'm proud to say there aren't a major amount of the dreaded Wases. :D ~ Chapter 18 ~ The Leviathan “How long do you think it'll last?” I yelled to Shad over the pouring sheets of rain. I could barely make out his dim form ahead of me through the heavy rain, swaying as waves smashed into the ship. Lightning lit up the sky for a short second, and a crash of thunder obscured Shad's reply. “What?” I shouted. “I don't know!” I heard Shad this time. Another peal of thunder sounded overhead, and I motioned in the general direction of King Ladar's cabin on the stern of the ship. Shad followed me as we staggered around the heaving deck. Lightning flashed, and I saw some of the other ships in the fleet in a similar position, bucking like a giant sea beast in the tempest that raged around them. I focused on keeping my balance, gritting my teeth and doggedly tumbling in the direction of the cabin. Shad and I smashed into the cabin door after a particularly rough wave, and scrabbled for the handle, dropping through the door. I slammed the door shut, and we stood there, dripping. King Ladar sat at his desk, writing. The ship shuddered again, and he reached out, catching his lantern before it crashed to the floor of the cabin. He spotted us standing before the cabin door. “The storm is bad, then?” he asked, as if the of crash of thunder and flashes of lightning all around him weren't enough to answer his question. “'Bad' is an understatement.” I said, wringing my clothes. His eyebrows raised. “I see.” Shad collapsed suddenly in a nearby chair. “S-something's going to happen," he said, wiping the water running down his brow. I had never heard Shad stammer before. “What?” King Ladar and I asked simultaneously. Shad looked beyond us, out the window, as if he saw something we didn't. “Something terrible.” He seemed to come out of a sort of trance. “The alarm bell!” he cried urgently. Shad raced outside, the door slamming violently behind him. A few minutes later I heard the peal of the warning bell. I began to wonder if Shad had been struck by the lightning from the storm around us. Sighing, I braced myself, and then hurtled out, barely making it through before the door smashed shut behind me. I staggered slightly as the pelting rain hit me, and then made my way to the navigator cabin. As I made my way across the deck, I saw several other startled sailors coming up from below the decks at the ringing of the alarm bell. I found Shad inside the navigator cabin, ringing the bell vigorously. The walls were covered with damp, half-torn maps, hence the name of the cabin. Shad was calmer than before, and he stopped ringing the bell as I tumbled into the room. He looked out the porthole, and then tore his eyes away from it and stared at me. “It's here.” An unearthly roar came from outside, and the Waverunner shook violently. “What in the world?!” I shouted, alarmed. The ship rocked back and forth again. “It's a-” Shad began to yell, but a bellow from outside masked his words. “What?” I shouted. “It's a leviathan!” My blood ran cold. Leviathans were mythical, at least, they USED to be. Legend said they were the last of the huge creatures that roamed the earth when Aari had made it. Humans had driven them off in the Early Days, and they had slowly died out. But now I wasn't so sure. Shad grabbed a harpoon and smashed out of the cabin. I followed him, taking a harpoon as well. I didn't know what to expect, but nothing had prepared me for what I saw as I stared into the tempest raging around me. I saw Shad standing still on the other side of the ship, but a roar riveted my attention from Shad. There, above him, was the most monstrous, hideous, and terrifying beast I had ever seen. Its body, covered in gray-green scales stained by the lash of the sea, rippled with mighty muscles. It had giant spines running down its neck, where they disappeared into the sea. Its head loomed above the ship with luminous, blood red eyes and keen, stained teeth. It gave a keening scream, exposing rows of more teeth. A gust of choking, smelly breath hit me, and I staggered to the side of the ship and retched over the side. Shad shouted to me, “Hit it in one of its eyes! That's the only place that's vulnerable!” Shad had found more harpoons, and he hurled them, one after another, at the leviathan looming above the ship, but to no avail. All of the harpoons struck, but they glanced off the strong scales of the leviathan like twigs. Shouts came from around me, and I saw other men coming from various places, clutching at harpoons themselves. I remembered a poem that my mother had read to me when I was younger. 'Can you pull in the leviathan with a fishhook, Or tie down his tongue with a rope? Can you put a cord through his nose, Or pierce his jaw with a hook? Will he keep begging you for mercy? Will he speak to you with gentle words? If you lay a hand on him, You will remember the struggle and never do it again! Any hope of subduing him is false; The mere sight of him is overpowering.' Despair overwhelmed me for a second, but then I came to my senses, and ran toward the leviathan, harpoon high. I threw it, heaving with all my strength and will. It curved up into the dark sky, a solitary bullet in the black clouds above. The harpoon struck deep into the glowing eye of the leviathan, a thorn in the body of the great crustacean. It shook its head in pain and frustration, giving an earth-shaking, heart-stopping roar, glaring at Shad murderously with its one working eye. Shad stood there, his hands on his last harpoon. The leviathan screeched, and, jaws open wide, brought its mighty weight down on the ship, trying to get at Shad. I grabbed a rope, hanging on for my life as the deck tilted. Shad scrabbled for the mast and managed to get his arms around it, still holding the harpoon. The ship tilted almost vertically, and I saw Shad's hands slipping as I clung to the rope. My mind was blank with horror as I saw Shad slide a little, and then drop into the gaping maw of the leviathan. “No!!” I cried in anguish.The Waverunner straightened, and the leviathan raised its head vertically, as if to swallow something. Instead, wheezing gasps came from its huge mouth. It started thrashing wildly, making giant waves that almost overwhelmed the ship. I saw a glittering thing protruding slightly from the from the leviathan's neck, as if it were a tiny jewel. It was metal, and I thought someone must have finally penetrated the leviathan's scales with a harpoon. And then I suddenly realized the harpoon was pointing outward. The leviathan gave a shrill, bone-chilling shriek, breaking all the windows that were still intact on the ship. It tumbled onto the Waverunner, its eyes already clouding over in death. A figure crashed out the dead leviathan's throat, coughing. “Shad!” I yelled, running toward him. He was alive! He gave a nonchalant wave, as if nothing had happened, and then coughed again, hard.“Hey," he said. "I got in a tangle with the leviathan, but I managed to lodge the harpoon in its neck before it could eat me.” I laughed. "And it stunk like you wouldn't ever believe in there!” And so it ends... I hope you elves out there like it! :D Yodeling Dwarf on "NaNoWriMo" http://www.heedtheprophecies.com/theunderground/topic.php?id=113#post-14295 Sat, 17 Oct 2009 14:09:35 +0000 Yodeling Dwarf 14295@http://www.heedtheprophecies.com/theunderground/ Hey, I thought it would be a good idea to set up a topic for Underground members to post their NaNoWriMo usernames so we can find and keep each other motivated for this upcoming November. NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month, in which the goal is to write a novel in one month. I think its a great idea, especially for people like me: procrastinators who try to get everything perfect the first time and end up flipping pencils and reloading facebook all day. It's my first time, and my goal is... dare I say it... 100,000 words (50,000 is the minimum). Hold me accountable everyone! Anyway, at nanowrimo.org my username is Yodeling Dwarf (no, really!) I know of a few other people doing Nanowrimo, whom I've already become writing buddies with, but I'll let them post their usernames if they wish. SirDwibble on "Make a Story" http://www.heedtheprophecies.com/theunderground/topic.php?id=479#post-82524 Fri, 03 Sep 2010 13:06:39 +0000 SirDwibble 82524@http://www.heedtheprophecies.com/theunderground/ Have you ever wanted to write, but you just didn't know what to write about? Well, this topic will help you get your creative juices flowing by writing a story with three objects. It can be as short as a paragraph or as long as a page. Here's an example of what I mean: Objects: - Twine - Duck - A Penny Story: 'The young hunter, frantic to gain the attention of an overhead airplane, ran beneath it until he found a duck in his path. With an idea forming rapidly in his mind, he began to utilize it. Using a spare penny in his pocket, he cleaned off the oxidization until it gave off its coppery shine. The glare of the polished penny attracted the attention of the duck, who wandered over and began pecking at it. He unwound a ball of twine and tied it around the leg of a duck, and then began...' You get the idea. After writing your story, you then put down three objects for the next person to write a story about. They can also be people and abstract concepts, such as fear, love, normality. and so forth. I think that this game will undoubtedly get you to start thinking more and use the items/people/concepts in very interesting ways. Most importantly, have fun with it! NOTE: I'm sorry if this goes against the new member guidlines. If so, then ignore this thread. EDIT: I can't believe I forgot the objects to get this started. *facepalm* Objects: - Scissors - Modesty - China Vase Jake on "BRAND NEW amazing AWESOME cool THREAD that is TOTALLY random. :D" http://www.heedtheprophecies.com/theunderground/topic.php?id=331#post-60805 Thu, 13 May 2010 20:44:35 +0000 Jake 60805@http://www.heedtheprophecies.com/theunderground/ Heya!

The narrow passage to Daladge Falls had been peaceful enough. But as it widened, the Elves heard the pounding of the falls. It was less a constant roar and more like the per- cussive crashing of monstrous waves on an island of stone; the song of the falls made the young lords nervous. But they were not alone in their concern. “Please tell me, Master Jimmy,” said Mr. Wallace, “tell me with your foresight that we’re going to survive this fall.” “I wish I could,” Jimmy replied, squinting so hard that a stack of wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes. “. . . But I cannot see anythin’ right now. Not since the battlefield. Think I’m tired.” “You’ve done this before, haven’t you, Flet Marshall Brynn?” asked Jett. “Dozens of times,” she replied. All of her passengers relaxed a little. And then she added, “But each time it’s different.” “Great,” said Johnny. “Tighten the straps around your waist,” Brynn commanded. “We’re getting close now.” She leaned forward and plugged each of the torchcells with serrated pegs of crystal. “This’ll keep the torches dry for when we go under.” “When we go under?” Johnny’s eyes were as big as baseballs. “At the bottom of the falls,” Brynn explained, as if it should have been common knowledge. “Our momentum will carry us beneath the surface, but not far. These crafts are buoyant, and we will shoot up like dolphins.” “Okay,” said Johnny. “Are you sure you can’t see what will happen, Jimmy?” asked Mr. Wallace. “Not a thing,” Jimmy said. “And I dunno that I want to.” *“Fifty yards,” said Goldarrow. “Hold on tight!” “Ow! Kiri Lee,” Tommy said, wincing. “Not that tight! I think I’m bleeding.” “I’m sorry,” Kiri Lee apologized, pushing strands of her straight black hair behind her ear. “The falls, they terrify me.” Tommy swallowed. “We’ll be fine. Grimwarden knows what he’s doing.” Terrified? Kat thought. You can walk on air. She briefly attempted to read Kiri Lee’s thoughts, but with no success. Kat didn’t think she needed to anyway. Of course she likes him. And of course he probably likes her. She’s perfect. Perfect hair, perfect smile, perfect skin. Not a mutant . . . like me. Kat looked away from Tommy. Well, he can have her . . . for all I care. She stared straight ahead . . . and wished she hadn’t. The walls of the cavern funneled to an opening more than fifty yards wide. There, the underground river rolled over an edge only visible due to the contrast in color between the water and the deep vault of space beyond. Grimwarden’s cavesurfer was the first to arrive, and the current drew them relentlessly to the edge. Goldarrow shifted in her seat and glanced often at Grimwarden. If the Guardmaster noticed, he did not let on. He kept his eyes forward and continuously steered toward the left side. “Lean back and HOLD ON!” The point of the cavesurfer went over the edge. The growl of the falls roared up. Their craft tilted down. And Tommy stared into a mas- sive chute of turbulent water as the craft plunged into the yawning black mouth. Spray and chop pelted the craft and its passengers. Bouncing and careening against water and air currents, Tommy tried to scream, “We’re all going to die,” but the violence of the water drowned out his voice. But it was here that the cavesurfers showed their true qualities. Tommy, still certain his life was about to end, suddenly felt their craft skimming sideways—across the face of the falls. He stole a look at Grimwarden, whose arm and shoulder muscles were taut as he steered. The torch was only a small flickering light, but it was enough for Tommy to see the Guardmaster, who appeared to be enjoying the plunge as he expertly navigated the falls. Then Tommy saw him smile. Tommy tapped Kat on the shoulder. “This is insane!” She nodded and mouthed something Tommy couldn’t hear. He looked over at Kiri Lee, and his heart stopped for a moment. She had ducked her head and bent her torso down so low that at first he thought she was gone. It wouldn’t be that hard, Tommy thought, to fall out. He shook the image away and tried to focus on the positive. Jett’s got to be loving this. Tommy started to turn to look for Brynn’s cavesurfer, but heard Grimwarden: “HEAD DOWN! DEEP BREATH!” The cavesurfer stabbed into the black water at the bottom of the falls. Tommy felt as if his stomach broke free from its lodging in his head, shot down through his neck, ricocheted around his shoulders and rib cage, and jettisoned into his feet. There was silence, but a deep churning pressure pulsed in his ears. All went dark until he saw stars and struggled against the urge to gasp for air. Tommy forced himself to relax and was rewarded with the feeling of ascent. Just when he thought he couldn’t hold his breath anymore, he felt his back pop-up into open air, water filling the cavesurfer to his knees. “You can sit up now,” Grimwarden instructed, the rushing sound of water falling behind them. “You mean, we’re not dead?” Tommy asked. “No, Tommy. But almost.” “That was—” “HELP!” came a desperate scream half-choked with water. Grimwarden jammed hard on the tiller and spun the surfer around. “Where?” he demanded. Other cavesurfers continued to plunge into the falls, only to pop-up seconds later. “Where?! Does anyone see?” “Wait,” said Kat. “Where’s Flet Marshall Brynn’s surfer? They were right behind us.” “They were,” Goldarrow confirmed. “But I don’t see them.” “HELP!” came the voice again. A flame leaped up from the water. “It’s Johnny!” Kiri Lee yelled. “Look there!” They could all see Johnny now, flailing, his head dipping beneath the water. Just in time, Regis’s surfer swept by him, and she grabbed his arm. Her flet soldier passengers hauled Johnny out of the water. “We have him!” she called. “What of Jett, Jimmy . . . and the others?” Grimwarden called back. Ice forming in the pit of his stomach, Tommy watched as Regis and the others scanned the water, each crying out, “Brynn! Jimmy! Jett! Can you hear me?! Mr. Wallace!” Regis called again, waited, and then shook her head. “No sign!” Regis called back. She wheeled the craft around and raced immedi- ately to Grimwarden. “Johnny says their surfer capsized,” Regis explained, still looking out into the water. “Flet soldiers!” Grimwarden called. “Rekindle the torchcells! Spread out and search. We have four in the water! Beware of the whirlpool!” Immediately more than a dozen surfers scattered. “We need more light!” Goldarrow exclaimed. A timid voice emerged from Regis’s cavesurfer. “I think . . . I can help with that.” Those who heard looked over at Johnny. “Nay, son,” said Grimwarden. “Rest, get your strength back.” A gentle hand touched his shoulder. “Olin, we need the light.” Grimwarden frowned. He knew she was right. He looked across the water at Johnny. “Can you manage?” “I think so.” “Flet soldiers, give him room!” commanded Goldarrow. Then to Johnny, she said, “Not too much, all right?” She indicated the lightly constructed cavesurfer and its occupants. “Right,” he breathed, remembering how far the flames traveled the last time. “Not too much . . .” Johnny held out his hands in front of him, staring into his palms as if studying every line on his skin. He furrowed his brow and worked his jaw. But nothing happened. Ah, he is spent, thought Goldarrow. He’d done so much in the Veil . . . and he’d been through so much. “You got this!” yelled Tommy. “You can do it, Johnny,” Kat entreated. Johnny sat up a little straighter. Tension lined his brow, and he flexed his arms. He grunted and a small glow appeared in his hands. “It’s working,” he said. “I can feel it now!” “Good, Johnny,” said Grimwarden. “The roof of this cavern may be too high, but stalactites reach down—hit those if you can.” “Go ahead, Johnny,” Nelly urged from her cavesurfer, her famil- iar voice giving him confidence. Johnny took a breath, looked high above, and picked the center of the darkness overhead. He groaned, and the glow in his palms turned to a blaze. Twin streams of fire leaped up from Johnny’s hands and stretched far into the darkness. He walked the flames about until he found a stalactite. Then it seemed he intensified the flow even more. The sandstone spike was enveloped in fire. “WHOA!” Tommy exclaimed. Instantly half of the cavern was bathed in a brilliant orange glow, and at once the Elves began search- ing the waters. Johnny turned around and shot another blast of liquid fire onto a second stalactite. At last, Tommy could see just how vast and deep the cavern was. They could park a battleship in here, he thought with dismay. How are we going to—? “We have Lord Hamandar!” yelled a deep voice near the turbu- lent base of the falls. “He is unconscious, but he lives!” “Who?” asked Kiri Lee. “Jett!” said Goldarrow with a cry of relief. “Oh, thank Ellos!” “Commander!” called another voice. “We have their cavesurfer. . . . Wait, someone is in it! It is Brynn, and she lives!” “Is there no one else?” Regis called. The flet soldier shook his head. “We should see the others by now . . . ,” Grimwarden muttered, his voice trailing off. He spun the boat about and raced toward the back corner of the right side of the cavern. “Where are you going?” yelled Regis. “Keep searching!” barked the Guardmaster, rowing frantically. Tommy, Kat, and Kiri Lee held on once more. They couldn’t believe how strong Grimwarden was—how he moved the craft so quickly. But he stopped just as suddenly and brought the cavesurfer around. “We can go no farther,” he said, speaking over the pounding water of the falls. “Beyond this point, the current will drag us in.” They all saw the change in the water ahead. It churned counter- clockwise in a vast water vortex . . . at least seventy yards in diameter. Closer to the center, the water rotated faster until it bottomed out to where no one could see. Tommy blinked and stared. “There . . . on the edge. Do you see?” “No . . . nothing,” Goldarrow said. “I see!” Kiri Lee cried out. “I think it’s Jimmy!” Grimwarden at last saw what the young lords had seen: the sil- houette of an arm and a head barely above water. The arm was moving, but by the current or from life, he could not tell. Grimwarden stood up, rocking the boat. “Keep the craft steady,” he told Goldarrow. “What are you doing?” she shot back. “You aren’t going to dive into—?” “We have no choice!” he yelled. “B-But . . . ,” she stammered. “How will we get you back?” “Think of something!” he yelled, and he dove into the black water. ************* Jimmy was disoriented and very close to drowning. The tumble he’d taken out of the cavesurfer had taken its toll, plunging him into the turbulent cauldron at the bottom of the falls. He swallowed more than his share of water as the swirling currents turned him ’round and ’round beneath the water. Suddenly the violent water released its grip on him, and Jimmy found himself floating in darkness on the surface. He’d called out again and again, but no one responded. Jimmy felt certain that Brynn, Mr. Wallace, Johnny, and Jett . . . were all gone, killed when their surfer capsized. Once or twice he thought he’d seen the flicker of light off in the unknown distance, torchcells from the other Elven pilots. They had plunged down the left side of the falls as instructed and now seemed so far away. He cried out once more, but realized he could barely hear his own weak voice above the explosive ruckus of the falls. It seemed like an eternity he floated in the darkness, his thoughts all to himself. He was moving, slowly at first, but gradually gaining speed. Knowing he could only tread water for so long, he had almost resigned himself to the fact that he would indeed die here. But some- thing inside Jimmy Gresham would not quit. Maybe it was the hardness he’d gained when he was very young from life in an orphan- age. But there was sometone else, too. When he’d lived with the Gresham family, he’d hoped to have found a home . . . hoped to have found love. That had all vanished when Geoffry was born. But then . . . out of nowhere, Miss Finney and Regis had come and told Jimmy he was not a castaway kid, but someone quite special . . . royalty even. They’d told him there was a place where he belonged and an impor- tant job for him to do. No way he could give up now . . . NO WAY. Then a brilliant burst of light exploded somewhere ahead. Jimmy turned, his senses coming alive. One of the giant dangling stalactites was now a raging inferno of flames, casting a warm orange glow throughout the cavern. Jimmy felt a spike of energy, and he propelled himself hard against the current. But he could see his peril now. He could see the whirlpool: a monstrous spiral galaxy of water churning with slow but unstop- pable progress. He was not in the outer bands but just thirty yards from the center. “JIMMY!” a voice rang out. “Fight the current, Jimmy!” Jimmy turned to face the voice. He couldn’t quite make out the form, but someone was clearly telling him to swim for it. Grimwarden splashed his way toward the whirlpool. Between spraying water and submerging for breaths, he saw Jimmy struggling. Knowing Jimmy was too far in to escape and in moments he would be, too, Grimwarden left their fate to Ellos and dauntlessly plowed on. Then he saw Jimmy go under. “NOOO!” Grimwarden clawed at the water and kicked his feet with long, mighty strokes. The whirling current threatened to throw him off course, but instinctively he made the water flow work for him, curling with it to the side. Then he saw Jimmy’s hand reaching up above the water. Grimwarden jetted through the water, getting closer to the young lord. ************* “We’ve got rope!” Goldarrow said, raising the coil she’d found stowed beneath the backseat. “Oh no,” Kat cried. “Jimmy’s gone under!” Moving suddenly to see, Tommy and Goldarrow almost tipped the cavesurfer. They saw Grimwarden just as he dove beneath the surface. There were several breathless seconds until Grimwarden came up . . . empty-handed. “Flet Marshall Goldarrow!” yelled a young flet soldier who had maneuvered his cavesurfer near. “You are too close to the pool cur- rents! Row away!” Goldarrow looked from the scene near the middle of the whirl- pool back to the currents surrounding their vessel. She dropped onto the rear bench, grabbed an oar, and moved them back. “Ah!” Kat screamed. “He’s got him! Grimwarden’s got Jimmy!” Goldarrow jerked her head around. Thank Ellos! she thought. But they are so far. How will I ever get this rope to them? She thought about tying the rope to one of the oars and throwing it like a spear. No . . . Jett might be able to, but she couldn’t. Kiri Lee. But she was too sick to attempt such a treacherous air walk. Then it came to her. TOMMY. She grabbed the young lord’s shoulder. “Your bow!” Goldarrow demanded. “String it! Have you any arrows left?” “I think . . . one maybe—whoa!” Tommy fell on his rear in the bottom of the surfer, clambered back to his seat, and rummaged around looking for his quiver. “Hurry!” Kat yelled. “Grimwarden’s struggling. They’re getting close to the middle.” “Ah, got it!” Tommy cried, holding up the quiver. “I’ve got one arrow.” “Give it to me,” Goldarrow demanded. Her fingers moved faster than Tommy had ever seen, and she tied a very strange-looking knot onto the very back of the arrow. She had tied one loop of the rope tight right before the fletchings, another loop right behind them on the nock, and had left a very tight, tiny ball of rope hanging loose. “There,” she said, handing the arrow to Tommy. “That ought to reduce drag from the rope somewhat. But still aim high.” “Got it!” Tommy said, his heart jackhammering. ************* Jimmy coughed, spat out water, and weakly gripped Grimwarden’s arm. “I got you, lad!” Grimwarden yelled, grasping Jimmy under his shoulders and pulling him close. He’s exhausted, thought Grimwarden. And now, holding the boy, he could not muster enough force to fight the whirlpool’s massive current. They drifted with the current, Grimwarden struggling to see over the surface waves. “HERE!!” he yelled. “HERE, GOLDARROW!!” Suddenly a new stream of flame stretched like a fiery tentacle to the roof of the cavern. Johnny had done well. Grimwarden could see much better, and that meant Goldarrow could as well. Bobbing up in the currents, Grimwarden saw a lot of movement on board his cavesurfer. It looked as if another cavesurfer was there as well. Then he saw Tommy stand . . . very tall . . . like he might be standing on the seats. He has his bow! Grimwarden kicked as hard as he could and raised his hand to give Tommy something to aim for. But the way the current was dragging him it was impossible to stay in one place. Grimwarden worried that Tommy would only have time for one shot. The arrow went up. Good lad! Grimwarden thought. Plenty of height. The thin rope trailed behind the arrow without weighing it down too much. The arrow fell at last, well within Grimwarden’s reach. He turned his body to avoid dunking Jimmy, and just as the current pulled him away he grabbed for the rope. . . . ************* To their collective horror, Grimwarden’s outstretched arm fell short of grasping the rope. He and Jimmy were tugged deeper into the whirlpool and were moving much faster now. “NO!!” shouted Goldarrow. “Everyone, take hold of the rope. Pull the arrow back! Now!! Hurry!” ************* The whirlpool grabbed Grimwarden and yanked him backward. He splashed and flailed. He barely had the strength to keep him and Johnny above water, much less make any progress against the cursed current. “Hold on, Jimmy!” he growled. Then he saw the arrow skipping across the concentric waves, the middle and outer bands of the whirlpool. They were pulling the rope back for another try. “Hold on! We might have one last chance!” Jimmy let his head fall back against Grimwarden’s chest and looked up. “We’re going to make it, yu know,” he said. Grimwarden’s eyes opened wide. “You—you’ve seen it with your foresight?” “No”—Jimmy laugh-coughed—“but I trust yu.” Grimwarden set his jaw. “Climb onto my back, then,” he said. “I’m going to need both hands free.” ************* “They’re slipping below the surface!” yelled Kat, jerking back fistfuls of rope as fast as she could. “No,” Tommy shot back. “I can see them still . . . barely!” “Yes!” she replied. “I see them now!” Goldarrow couldn’t look up. All she could think about was get- ting that arrow back as fast as possible. She saw it, skipping, practically flying across the black water. Just forty yards away, thirty . . . twenty, ten. “I’ve got it. Here, Tommy! Take it. May Ellos bless your aim!” “I can only see Grimwarden’s hands now!” said Kat. “What’s he doing? He’s doing something with his hands.” Tommy nocked the arrow and leaned outward. “Steady the boat!” he yelled. “I need to see!” Tommy watched Grimwarden’s arms. He had one arm outstretched and high with his palm wide, fingers spread out. With his other hand balled into a fist, he was smacking it into the palm of the first hand. What is he doing? And then Tommy thought he understood. Grimwarden smacked his fist into his palm. Come on! Take the shot! Be true! They were out of time. “Grimwarden!” Jimmy yelled. “We’re going under!” “NOW, TOMMY!!” Grimwarden roared. “NOWWWW!!” Tommy lined up the shot and fired. A breath later and Grimwarden’s hand felt as if a red-hot iron poker drove into his palm. He looked up to see an arrow shaft lodged halfway through his hand and blood pouring down his wrist. He gri- maced and grunted, focusing on closing his fingers around the arrow. His arm jerked, elbow snapping, and he struggled to reach the arrow with his free hand. Then the current took them down. ************* “Did you . . . ?” Goldarrow’s voice trailed off. “I don’t know,” Tommy said. “They’re gone! Pull!” No sooner had the command gone out than the rope nearly pulled free from their hands. “Kat, hold on! Flet soldiers! GET THE ROPE AND PULL!” The flet soldiers in the other craft took hold of some of the loose coils and added their might to the effort. “They’re . . . ah . . . they’re still under!” yelled Kat. “Ah!” “We don’t have enough!” Tommy grunted, his arms burning. He felt as if he were engaged in a tug-of-war against an entire football team. “We are fighting the teeth of the current,” said Goldarrow. “But we will prevail! Endurance and Victory!” Spluttering and puffing for air, Grimwarden and Jimmy broke the surface. Fresh blood pulsed out between the fingers of Grimwarden’s hands. The pain was excruciating, but he clutched the arrow and the rope even tighter. They were moving, slowly—oh so slowly—but they were moving against the current. And they were alive. “I-I-I told you,” whispered Jimmy, slumped on Grimwarden’s back. Goldarrow, Tommy, Kat, and five flet soldiers heaved the rope with all their might. “Come on!” Goldarrow urged. “Pull harder! They’re halfway now! Grimwarden, can you hear me?” “Yes.” His reply was audible but weak. “You’re hurt?” “Thanks to that blessed archer of ours, yes,” said Grimwarden. “Hurt . . . and alive.” Goldarrow saw the blood leaking out into the water. “Faster!” she demanded. “Let’s get them in!” Kat had never felt such a burn in her muscles, not even in gym- nastics when she’d had to hang from the uneven bars until her coach said to drop. Oh no! she thought. No, not now with everyone watching. No. But it was too late. The pain was that intense. She could feel it building. Then she did it. Squeak! “What was that?” Tommy asked. “What was what?” Kat asked, fighting off another. Squeak! “There it is again,” said Tommy. “I heard a squeak.” “Get focused, both of you!” Goldarrow warned, the edge to her voice sword sharp. “I’m sorry,” said Kat. “It’s just—” She never finished her apology. “Aieee!” yelled one of the flet soldiers. “Razorfish!” Grimwarden turned just in time. A glistening gray shape rose out of the water, a fin, curved and membraned like a bat’s wing. Grimwarden saw their peril immediately. He lifted his fists so that the fin could slide under the rope. He knew razorfish were quite blind, but they felt changes in water current, water temperature, and they could smell blood. There it is folks! Hope you enjoy it! Venom and Song should be out in July. -W&CH Jack Stride on "Battle!" http://www.heedtheprophecies.com/theunderground/topic.php?id=421#post-69522 Sun, 04 Jul 2010 15:06:33 +0000 Jack Stride 69522@http://www.heedtheprophecies.com/theunderground/ I am King Jack, and I need help controlling these suicide birds that ram into my window!

Hurley* _______________________________________________ Goldarrow: Grabs WR from the water and keeps rowing. Welcome to the good side WR. _______________________________________________ whisper: NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! *storms about, waving cutlass and muttering threats* FIRE CANNONS! _______________________________________________ Winters Read: Capt. Hurley's side? I'm so confused, I just arrived. _______________________________________________ Goldarrow: WR DIVE BEFORE THEY HIT US!!! I HOPE YOU CAN SWIM!!! Jumps out of the boat. _______________________________________________ Goldarrow: Barie, you and me are part of Millard the missing captian crew. You have just joined Millards crew. _______________________________________________ whisper: *cannon ball blasts into the rowboat, narrowly missing Goldarrow, who is swimming quickly for shore, and WR, who is confusedly clutching a piece of driftwood. Whisper roars in frustration as the two swim out of cannon range* _______________________________________________ Winters Read: I can swim well, GA, but where to? I cannae see because of stinging eyes. _______________________________________________ Goldarrow: Goldarrow sees that WR is not following a turns around to save him. Never leave a pirate behind. _______________________________________________ Goldarrow: She reachs him a starts to pull him to the island. _______________________________________________ whisper: *realizes with delight that WR (and now GA) might still be in crossbow range. Summons crossbow men* _______________________________________________ Goldarrow: WR swim for you life!!! *she pushes WR to shore and starts to swim faster then ever.* Crossbows! why not guns? Why not Guns? GA thinks _______________________________________________ whisper: umm.... it appears ex-captain Harley left no guns aboard. Either that or they haven't been invented yet. FIRE CROSSBOWS! *crossbow bolts begin peppering the area around the two swimmers, but fortunately for them, the men don't have good aim* _______________________________________________ Winters Read: *hangs limply while sight is being restored and GA is dragging him along* _______________________________________________ Goldarrow: Goldarrow swam for a bout 20 feet before she realises the WR is not by her and turns around. She looks to were WR was and starts to dive. _______________________________________________ Winters Read: *is just too tired to hang on anymore, drifts down* _______________________________________________ Goldarrow: Opening her eyes to the salty water she can hardly see... then she feels something... an arm! She grabs it a starts to swim up at an angle to the shore. _______________________________________________ whisper: *cackles evilly* ARRrrrg! I have triumphed! Cease fire, crossbows, I think they've both drowned. _______________________________________________ Winters Read: *now pulled above water, starts to make out the shore* _______________________________________________ Goldarrow: Finaly GA drags WR to the shore. she can't tell if WR is alive. He had better be after risking my life three times for him. GA thought. ______________________________________________ whisper: What? They're alive? IMPOSSIBLE! *storms about and orders the crew to sail off to the west, to return another day...* Sorry, I have to leave, thanks for sparring with me, elves, twas great fun! _______________________________________________ Goldarrow: Goldarrow turns around and sees........ the ship leaving... WR we might live! *she screams to the lifeless body* And then WR rolled over and coughed. He'll live. GA thought with a sigh of relief. Then Goldarrow started to look the rest of the crew and start a fire... to be countinued I should go to. Maybe we can pick this up some other time, bye. _________________________________________________________________ And so that is the end of part one of the 'Pirate Adventures'. Hope you liked it more to come! Barie on "Guess what I look like . . ." http://www.heedtheprophecies.com/theunderground/topic.php?id=342#post-61821 Sun, 23 May 2010 17:32:07 +0000 Barie 61821@http://www.heedtheprophecies.com/theunderground/ Hey elves! So, I was thinking, we all are curious what all the other elves look like, right? I imagine you may have formed an idea or two about some of them. I think it would be really fun if we all shared our opinions on each other's looks <code>:)</code> I think we should start out with three elves, and I'll pick the first three to get us started. After five people have made their guess on each elf, the sixth elf gets to pick a new elf to replace that elf. A word of caution: I highly suggest that no one begs an elf to tell what they really look like if they don't want to. That's mean. Also, (I doubt I have to say this, but I will) please, if you think the elf in question is fat and ugly . . keep your opinion to yourself. So . . Let's start with: Millardthemk Whisper And myself (because I'm really curious how you all picture me, haha) I think Millard has blond hair (except when he dyes it blue <code>:D</code>) is tan, strong looking, and medium height. I bet that's completely off, haha. Whisper, I would say has long dark hair, and pale-ish skin, with freckles, lol. I won't give an opinion on myself, haha.

Gals. there we go. As some of ya might know, I'm in a band, and I recently learned that some of our other fine elves are also. This is for you guys. We can come and share lyrics, song ideas and just plain chat up what's going on in our musical lives. PLEASE no segways into random stuff like pirates (but i do love pirates), or cheese, pie, ninjas, or ANYTHING other than music! So, yeah, i Play guitar, keyboard and... windpipes. My band does a mix of alternative (Switchfoot-ish) metal (Thousand Foot Krutch - ish) and even some lighter rock and rapcore, which is like a mix of metal and rap. From Opera to Screamo, youth bands to sold-out rockstars, come chat and hang out! P.S. if this is another one of those "redundant threads" feel free to kill this thing.

GOD guy on "Sports thread" http://www.heedtheprophecies.com/theunderground/topic.php?id=459#post-77165 Sat, 07 Aug 2010 19:09:15 +0000 GOD guy 77165@http://www.heedtheprophecies.com/theunderground/ I was surfing the UG and I realized that the only thing it was missing was a sports thread, so... I took matters into my own hands.

This is NOT a place where you help people or give tips. This is where you can tell people what clue you are on. This way we know who is the farthest in the game and such. I'm on clue two, I believe Keeneye and I are about to crack it though. the Hunter on "Personality test" http://www.heedtheprophecies.com/theunderground/topic.php?id=478#post-82428 Thu, 02 Sep 2010 18:30:43 +0000 the Hunter 82428@http://www.heedtheprophecies.com/theunderground/ heres a test 1. whats ur favorite song and why? 2. what historical figure do u admire most and why? 3. what is your favorite quote? 4.
