Rewrite! Rewrite!
So, this is what I've got of the new begining so far. Enjoy...
“Ughh!” Emma growled. She was so furious right now that she couldn’t even form words. Snatching her backpack off the kitchen table, Emma stomped across the room and right out the door. She was having the worst week of her entire life, so of course, today, of all days her stupid foster father had decided to pick a fight with her?! Ridiculous!
“Hey! Where the hell do you think your going?”
“Away from you…” Emma mumbled, pulling her headphones on and turning the volume all the way up. Then stuffing her hands deep into the pockets of her sweat shirt Emma walked to the end of her street and turned left toward the high school.
It was actually kind of a sad commentary on Emma’s life that she had no friends to spend the night with. She used to be able to call her boyfriend, Jason, and he’d come pick her up…but being that the creep had dumped her last week, that sure as hell wasn’t going to happen.
“Bastard…” She growled under her breath, subconsciously curling her hands into fists. The mere thought of Jason, made her crazy. “I mean where the hell does he get off?!” Emma practically shouted. “Getting trashed and breaking up with me because I wouldn’t sleep with him! How dare he?!” It took Emma roughly fifteen minutes to get from her house to the school. And by the time she arrived, Emma had calmed down and forgotten about Jason. After all, he wasn’t worth her anger or her tears.
Knowing that the quickest way to roof from outside was to use the fire escape in the back of the school, Emma cut quickly across the Teacher’s parking lot. Which despite how greatly the student population out numbered that of the teacher’s, was actually the bigger parking lot. Go figure.
Emma had to climb up on top of a trash can to reach the rusty fire escape stairs, but it was worth it. She loved being on the roof, so much that she had in fact cut class several times just to sit out here. And the view tonight was particularly breath taking. The moon was a beautiful, pure white, waning crescent and the stars were so clear and bright. It was, “Perfect…”
Isn't it so much better?! I mean lets be honest, the other way, really sucked.

Having creative differences with myself....
Alrite, so I was working on my draft the other day and I started re-reading what I'd writter only to come to the conclusion that everything I have written thus far.... sucks. Especially the begining.... -glares at draft- SO! I've decided to change the begining, In an effort to keep people interested in my story....
Basically I want to change everything around so people get a better feel of Emma's character and why she doesn't care if she ever sees her foster father again, before I up-root her from reality completely. Anyway, here are the changes I was thinking of making...
-After the fight with her foster father, Emma's gonna go straight to her high school, all the while reminiscing about her ex-best friends and her boyfriend breaking up with her, then cursing their existence, because she'd rather be anywhere but the school.
-Then she's gonna sit on the roof of the school and think about the fight with her foster father. And when she hears sirens she's gonna freak out and run away, cause she can't be caught trespassing.
-Which leads us to the part where Emma gets hit by the car for running into the road, and Eclipse saves her.
-Then the next morning Emma wakes up in the castle and gets confused!
Personally I think it's better. It's more of an actual intro to the story, you know? But what do you guys think?
ALSO! I was thinking about it earlier and there are waaaaaaaaaaayyyy cooler way for Eclipse to save Emma/ for Emma to be struck by a vehicle. So, I'ma change the way that happens.
Some ideas....
-Emma actually does get struck by a vehicle and only manages to live because of her super cool Vaikas powers. (She'll still pass out though.)
-Eclipse jumps in front of her or pushes her out of the way and he gets hit by the car instead.
-Eclipse jumps in front of her or pushes her aside and "HULK SMASHES!" the crap out of the car's hood to stop it.
-The car spins out when it sees Emma and Eclipse has to shield her, inadvertently being struck by the vehicle himself.
-Eclipse jumps down from no where and creates this huge fricking crater in the road and flips the car over!
-Eclipse jumps infront of her and claps his hands together to make this crazy sonic pulse thing, that stopps the car dead in its skid marks!
-The driver blows a tire trying to stop, swurves, and then flips over. And Eclipse, oh-so-stealthly pushes Emma down, so the car flys over them, instead of crushing them.
-Or I could keep it the way it is right now. When Eclipse pushes her out of the way and no one gets hit by the car. But I'm not gonna lie, I really kinda wanna run someone over with this freakin car!
Any other ideas? Im open to whatever....
Oh, one more thing! Think I should have Eclipse fake Emma's death or just kidnap her or ....what?

Feelin' FABULOUS!
And decisive to boot! Alrite well.... decisive-ish....
I have decided (in the last 20 minutes) that Vaikas is the perfect word to replace demon with, cause it sounds so cool!
And that I'm gonna spell Rokurokubi, like so, RoQuero' Kubeh. Because Celes was right and it does look cooler that way.
That I will infact create one more kingdom/province/whatever because on the map Soturi is to damn big. And I think I'll call it Azaherh. Which I just made up....
I'm thinking about calling the random island with the Imperial Clubhouse on it, Harcos...I don't know yet, but I am going to name it!
And Im going to refer to my silly messenger birdies as either Zivitar or Hirivo.
Any thoughts? Opinions? .....Hobos....?

Attention! Attention!
And the next ruler of Zarius is.....
ANGEL!
As far as I'm concerned she really was the only serious choice. Cause I mean lets face it, Emma and Xander are totally not cut out to be in charge. lol.
Anyway, YAY! Congrats Angel!
