I have 95 14 years olds throughout the day. Not swearing is very difficult.
But finally got my post up. Suppose I shouldn't complain. At least we still have the site.

Been on this site for 6 years, but was on the previous version that crashed. Found this site in its original stage not long after the fall of Quizilla forums.

"Uh huh," Mera made a dull expression before turning and walking to the nearest restaurant. She hadn't expected anything less from him, but the way he had phrased the last statement was the reason she'd had to contain the expression that had wanted to come to her face.
Hotaru just smirked a little, "Well at least one thing will always be reliable," she teased lightly as they entered the establishment.
Mera got out a few gold coins and handed them to Larel outside the door, "There. That ought to be enough to cover your eight bowls. Make her drink while you two are here. I need to check something out while we have a moment to breath," she said before walking towards the center of the village, wondering if there was any kind of a job board there. She pulled her hair up in to her hood as she walked, pulling it up, glancing around. She knew the fisherman had seen her, but they tended to not allow the troubles of "land lovers" to bother them. Then again, for good enough coin... but they were older men, she highly doubted that they'd be bothered with even if samurai did bother with this town. She was checking first to see if they were near where wanted posters would catch people's attention and second to see if there were any small time jobs she could take care of, some potions to mix up. Maybe it would help her to relax a little more to do little mundane tasks such as that.
Hotaru turned to Larel and put her hands on her hips as she realized Mera had left, "Abandoned again. I think that whole schpeeel about having us around was to make us less likely to argue about her doing that but it's getting kind of annoying," she muttered, turning back around and finding them a place to sit, "I can't think of the last time I saw her actually get something to eat. I wonder if she absorbs it like plants do," she mused aloud, putting her hand to her chin as she tilted her head to the side.

It was tempting. I thought at first that it was a sign that it wasn't meant for me. That I wasn't supposed to be a teacher because I must be a bad one if I can't do anything about those kids, but it boils down to I don't know how to get on to 14 year olds without talking to them like I would my little brother >_> Which could get me fired cause I hit him XD
Mera glanced back at Alari when he was speaking, looking towards the inn he mentioned. She started walking that way once Alari finished speaking, "Come along, let's get a room already before it gets too bright for someone," she said, Hotaru pulling her cloak tight (I can't remember if Mera gave her the new one or not, but if she didn't do it in a post, then she gave it to her on the way lol), "Oh and Alari," she looked back at him, "It's a little delayed, but welcome back," she turned and continued walking towards the inn, getting out her coin purse so she could pay for the room, "I might need to start making some money soon," she mused as she walked.
"That purse is bulging," Hotaru muttered lowly as she followed.
"Yes well. Constantly staying in inns and covering his appetite," Mera thumbed at Larel, "Is going to make me broke sure enough. Speaking of, Larel, do we need to stop at a restaurant before hitting the inn?" she looked at him, raising a brow.
Eryn took a deep breath as he looked at the entrance of the room that Mary had entered the night before. The energy had shifted during the night, blocking him and Raina from entering, "You think she found him?"
"I hope it's him she found. It's been pretty noisy in there," Raina mumbled, sitting near to the entrance, leaning against the old stone.
"Wait, you can hear in there?"
"Barely and you talking isn't helping."
"But how long have you been hearing things?"
"Since this barrier went up," Raina said, "It's definitely a males voice in the room, but I don't hear her."
"You won't," Sayoko landed near them, setting Alessea down.
"Mother!" Eryn rushed over to her seeing her state.
"I need to go in there with her," Alessea started towards the door.
"Are you sure that's wise, Mother?" Raina stood up, giving her a worried look, "You seem to barely be standing."
"I am barely standing, but I don't need to stand to give Mary some more strength," Alessea said simply, "If she's been attached to Nelothan as long as I've felt this pull, with how weak she already was, we might lose her. There is no question about it, I have to help her," Sayoko helped her to the door, and Alessea went through where the three of them couldn't.
"Damn, why is it only those two who can do this shit?" Raina growled as Sayoko leaned on the door frame.
"Because they're the ones who care so damn much about everyone else. They needed something a little stronger to be able to keep a hand on the people they care about," Sayoko shrugged a bit, "We get too angry, a little self-centered," she murmured.
"How come we," Raina motioned between her and Eryn, "Didn't get a damn thing?"
"Because you two are meant for something that doesn't require it," Sayoko looked at her, "How long have you been questioning what the Goddess has in store for us?"
"Ever since Father became a monster and we all started riding Nelothan and Amira's coattails to keep our asses covered," Raina spat, "Especially considering how far those two got beat down."
Sayoko shrugged again, "That made them stronger than us- as much as I hate to admit Mera's tougher or stronger than me, I didn't go through the same things. You narrowly escaped it and only because she had the gift. Yea it's not fair, you could have fended for yourself that day as well as her if you'd had it, but even with it, she could only save you," Sayoko reminded her and Raina clenched her fists, "She still was assaulted by that man even with having some ability to save one of you. It's always been her covering for us."
"Wait, you actually believe it?" Eryn looked at Sayoko, "I always thought you thought she was lying."
"I did for about a decade, until she ventured back out and a man approached her. Seeing how she reacted kind of sold it for me," She took a deep breath before looking in to the door, "But the monster's dead and we don't have to run from him anymore."
"What?!" Eryn and Raina jumped forward, causing Sayoko to jump from the intensity of their response

I'm going back to school to get my doctorate eventually. My end goal is to get my novels published and teach at the college level. Cause I love sharing things that I've learned, so I do still want to teach, just heaven forbid it's not going to be middle school.
Uh yea. Especially considering my class doesn't matter anyway. I can't fail them. If they have a 12, I have to override it to a 60 for report cards. And even if they fail my class and the EOG- which will reflect bad on me- they go on to high school anyways. So why bother paying attention at all? I seriously sat there once and waited 20 minutes for people to stop talking long enough to let me get the instructions for a debate out- something I thought they would enjoy doing- and it just didn't get done. And the assistant principal came in there and I would have cried if I had enough left in me at that point to care, but it's hard now to be upset about it when it isn't going to change.
I'm certainly trying to do some polishing. But honestly, I'm counting down until June. If I teach again next year- it will not be at this school.
"I'm used to having just you lot. That's the most amount of Allies I've ever had around at once," Mera said as she put her hand to her chin thinking about it.
"My excuse is pretty explainable- younger by a lot," Hotaru earned an annoyed look at that point, "And really bad lineage. Why don't you have a lot of allies at this point?"
"I don't like a lot of people," Mera said simply, "Most of them just annoy me."
"Even if they'd be good allies? You'd turn them down if they annoyed you?"
"Because I've been around so long, as you love to remind me, I've learned that for every person that annoys me that's a good ally, there's plenty of others who won't," Mera shook her head.
"Then why do you have so few?"
"Because they all died. Done asking me questions now?" Hotaru pursed her lips, catching the somewhat angry edge to her tone that she was trying to keep even, and decided not to even respond to the question. Mera seemed to be content with her not saying anything else, hoping no one else had anything to say between there and the next village. There had been too much being said and done in a day's period for her liking. Though not having Kaori's comments were weird. They were out of danger, so why hadn't the little runt reappeared? As much as he did annoyed her, she had to admit it worried her. Not that she would actually admit that out loud.
(you can skip us to the next town if you want. I can also tone down on all my extra drama if you want XD I'm just trying to keep it interesting for ya lol)

"Well I imagine you want to spend as little time in the woods as possible yes? I'm afraid our only option to get there quickly is to go to that other town we were looking at before," Mera motioned north, "If there are no other objections to it that is," She said, but started walking regardless. The only other option if there were a particular reason to dodge the town would be to go about a day or so more in the woods and not even she was really sure where the next town would be after that and how soon they'd be in the realm more dominated by the samurai that they'd seen less and less of lately. She could only imagine they'd withdrawn to their main establishments to guard against the "monsters" that were coming to dismantle them. She smirked a little at that, shaking her head.
"What?"
Mera looked at Hotaru, not expecting her to be so observant, but then again they had just been on the run, "I was simply thinking about those foolish samurai."
"The one's you have the wanted poster from?" Hotaru raised a brow. Her original goal had been to avenge her parents death by hunting those same samurai down, but knowing everything her mother had been hiding from her and what she had planned to put her through made it a little hard to want to keep doing that... Maybe at least for her father. From what she could tell, he'd never been a part of the scheming.
"Indeed, the very same."
"What brings them to mind?"
"We're getting further north every day. We'll be in the territory they claim as theirs any day now."
"I suppose you're right... You know, speaking of, I can't help but wonder why they're fixated on you specifically."
"I wasn't aware they were. They were fixated on the gypsy's as a whole."
"Not really," Mera quirked a brow that insisted she explain, "Your face is on the posters for the gypsies. It's usually your description we heard when we passed the samurai," Hotaru pointed out, "Someone is fixated on you."
"Imagine that," Mera sighed, rubbing her forehead.
"You get the strangest admirers."
"What?"

Hotaru took a deep breath, putting her hands on her hips. Too much had happened to catch a breath and now they had to keep moving still. She looked at Mera who turned to start walking as well as she spoke, "Mary told me that he seems to be under the impression that I've murdered my father. Odd, since last I saw him he was laying in the streets, crippled," she mumbled, "Can't say I'm sorry the bastards gone and I blame that bastard out there for it. He took my father to one of those old ruins, and he was never the same afterwards," she muttered.
"So does he know about the demons and such," Hotaru looked at her, her brows drawn down.
"If he does, he denies that the gypsies have anything to do with it. Denies a part of that lore that he stands upon as his reasoning for us being better than everyone else. Our glorious heritage to the elves. The tales say as we became gypsies a band of us split of to regain or true immortality, to be free of our goddesses conditions, and they evolved in to some cruel beasts that we've monikered demons, though they're not really demons, not as far as we know," Mera said as he walked, "How embarrassing would it be to our great leaders to accept how truly far some groups fell in search for power..."
"They're not much better than humans from the sound of it," Hotaru pointed out, raising a brow.
Mera smirked, "True enough," she said, "But Mary is off to find answers to remove your unwelcome guest for good. We provided enough of a distraction that they won't be pursued by Ovorion or any of his remaining cohorts," she added, "Now just to put a good distance between us and them and we'll be fine and dandy," she murmured.
