Night fell on the unmoving figure atop the huge pinnacle sticking out from the sea.

Not once did he move, his dark eyes scanning the raging seas.

A disembodied voice behind him spoke "Ataraxia? Is that you Dom?"

This time he turned, and he saw her, in appearance of the Angel of Death. She wore a black set of ragged velvet robes, and in her hands lay the Teleute Scythe. On her back a large pair of raven-feathered wings flapped slowly. Where a girl's head should be was a monstrous skull resembling that of a goat's, complete with two long horns that curved outwards. He knew it was really a helm, and that it was what made her robes float so creepily, and made her seem inhuman and indeterminate of gender.

Even so, he was still awed and afraid at the same time. Heck, even the Earl of Order, Eldest in rank of the Ten Vassal Kings of Christ could still be terrifed. He was still human, after all.

He spoke tonelessly "My friends call me by my real name, Jonathan. Joshua is my brother, not by blood, but by the Christ and the Bush. Therefore, that makes you my friend, since you are a close friend of his. Besides, we are both part of the Restorers now."

She nodded. Then she asked "Jon, have you seen Joshua? I believe he is in some kind of trouble now. Or at least I think so." Anything with that...that guy involved equals trouble, even for Joshua, Shannon thought.

Jonathan frowned. Then he spoke again:"He did mention something about a deal which concerned you and...Claresta, I believe. Something about an exchange at the Death Valley."

Alarm bells rang through her head, and she realised what was going on. Her wings flapped hard once, and she vanished.

The Ruler of the Aspect of Order and Chaos shrugged, and suddenly spun around.

Before him was one of the great Leviathan serpents, half of its body out of water, its head a couple of metres above him, jaws bared wide.

The prey Jonathan had been waiting for. He smiled, and a daikatana appeared in his hand: the Masamune Sword. The Leviathan's head bore down on him, and for a second it seemed like he was going to be swallowed whole.

A second later, the Leviathan split into two halves, having been slashed from top to middle in one blow.

Turning his back on the falling corpse, he mused aloud:

"All in a day's work."

Another excerpt from "The Restorers"... heheh. Okay, okay, next one will be an excerpt from "The White Fortress" aka the CNL LotR Project, k? Lolx.

By the way, Ataraxia actually means "peace of mind". Something I thought the Earl of Order would want for a name-title. Lolx. Or rather, Jon got it himself. Hee~

Anyhow, I've been thinking about some cheem stuff lately. And some not very cheem stuff.

Like, how some girls i know(or not know) have a certain idea that for a guy to be their boyfriend, he has to be in a certain school. Hmm. Does that mean that girls from MGS must have ACS boyfriends and vice versa? Or guys from Chinese High must be stead with girls from Nanyang Girls issit?Then girls and guys from those schools that got no sister/brother/cousin/father/mother/grandfather/whatever/neighbouring schools how? Or girls from Tanjong Katong Secondary School have to go and be lesbos with Tanjong Katong Girls issit? Go jump down and die lah!

Pls lah people. Can you all be a bit broad-minded huh? What the heck is wrong with a guy from a school that's not too special? Can you not see him/her for their achievements or breeding or money or whatever crap, but to see them for who they are and what God has created them to be?

Stupid right? I know. Geez. Whatever man. Sch sucks. I've got so much holiday homework I didn even know abt it that I think can pile into a mountain already.

Not to mention the fact that after I got out of a big hole, I fell into another one, this time a smaller hole. Not only that, my other leg's still in the first hole! Nuts!

Ah crap. I'll tell you more tomorow. I think I still have an immense amount of homework to do. Seeya.
