Favorite Quote:
He who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby become a monster. And if thou gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will also gaze into thee.

Halls which once hosted the valiant dead,

Asylum where heroic souls have tread.

Crumbled now to dust and pitiful wrecks,

O'er thrown by the chaos that Fenris bred.

 

Little, if any, of Asgard is left;

Old Midgard now teems with murder and theft;

Vanaheim's thrones, which now scoundrels possess,

Emanates their powers, no longer blest.

 

Solitude, nostalgia! I cry, bereft.

Even in the start, their fate has been set:

Mighty ones doomed to die but never rest.

I sing these odes alone, to realms unkept.

 

Left among gods, the bard's but a poet,

Yggdrasil's roots have now become its crest.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

Favorite Quote:
"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson
