Next: Arle’s Story-Ijule in the Glen

Arlen’s Story – Ijule’s Foreboding

The sun was rising and with the rising of the sun came the awakening of the inhabitants of the Stead. It was a large compound and required an early start every day to keep things running smoothly. Ijule was the first to arise that morning. Her dreams had been troubled and her sleep far from restful. She awoke feeling as exhausted and out of sorts as if she had spent the night continually running the span of the Stead. It was a relief to awaken and face the rigors of the day.

Distractedly Ijule began her morning routine, attending to her toilette and morning devotions. She lit a small mound of incense in the copper brazier in the center of the room to help clear away the tangled threads that were still knotting in her mind from the nights unrest. She then poured herself a cup of hot lemon-water and sat down in front of the brazier to better breathe in the pungent smolderings. As she sipped the lemon-water she her mind began reciting the Path Witness she had learned as a child.

The Path is truth.

Truth is everything.

Everything is nothing.

Nothing is all there is.

All there is, is the Path.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Someone beating on her chamber door startled Ijule out of her trance.

What! Who is it?

Its just me Arlen. Im cant find that fluff-headed son of mine. I dont suppose hes in there with you? came the impatient reply.

The lemon-water instantly curdled in Ijules stomach and she had to fight back a pressing urge to vomit. She answered Arlen quietly.

No, I havent seen either Arle or Firzt for the last 3 days. I thought you had him busy.

Ijule heard Arlens increasingly faint curses as he strode off down the hall without so much as an apology for disturbing her so early or even a courteous thanks.

Great. Ijule spoke aloud, hoping that the sound of her own voice would somehow help curtail the foreboding rising along her spine. Arles run off without telling anyone again. Arlens livid again. I got no sleep last night and now I have to deal with a the shenanigans of a pair of irresponsible and inconsiderate asses all day. e way I feel today, Id just as soon choke them both as look at them!

Quickly, she tidied up her chamber and set out to get her day in motion. But she couldnt dismiss the feeling of foreboding.

RYN to T: Maybe if you hadn’t Changed in front of the goats, you wouldn’ta startled ’em so. Heh. Wicked wolfie! *grin* I absolutely had to include them. It’s just too entertaining.

Now I want to know where Arle is, and I haven’t even read the story. 🙂

By the way, I found your missing headache. This is the downside of sharing a brain. *hugs*

Yupper, I’m at the library, checking out Gateway. I can’t believe what a junkie I’ve gotten to be w/ my computer.And now I really need one so I can read other’s stuff on FOD and leave notes! Damn! What a neat entry…want to read through the rest when I have more time.Cool! Have a good one, lady!

Hmmmmmmmm!!! Wonder what happens next!!

🙂

ahh, more people! ryn: yeah, thats why part of me isn’t too upset. . i just think that the way she is doing it is the worst way. . .its not something that should be used in that way.

ryn: I dont know… I have never seen a wolf tattoo {innocent smile}}

ryn Thank you . I hope that my grim poem will not produce hate notes but then I have to believe in what I have said. Perhaps I should not be controversial and try to write a cliffhanger such as your delightful tale which seems vaguely Lord of Rings like! I hope it will bring you many more admires…Alex

It never seems to fail, when we need some peace and quiet, someone will always start drilling the road or some such activities. 🙂

I still want to know why it went dark when he opened the package… and what it contained!! You are the mistress of suspense!!!! RYN luckily all Rich has to do is yell “COME ON LADS!” as they run out and I have to wear the pin he gave me on our first date (Which was to a match!)… Sunday’s the first play-off semi final *bite’s nails*

Still reading. I guess I should begin at start.

RYN: *I* have done a new story entry. Now, about this story right here…Batting my eyes wildly.

Willy & Wilma

Yes, we want to know what was in the package Aele opened when everything went blank! The Path is truth. Truth is everything. Everything is nothing. Nothing is all there is. All there is, is the Path It’s shaping up that way. See next note

The cover of April/02 Discover magazine features an article “Where did everything come from”, by Alan Guth. It’s far-out quantum physics about how it all came from absolutely nothing, based on the laws of physics. He ends with a question: “Where do the laws of physics come from”?, followed by:”We are a long ways from being able to answer that one”.

hummmm….
