Labyrinth of Dreams - Midnight OdysseyAnother clumsy jump and a stumble with outstretched arms...... Kaylin was back on the train. "Light is faster than words" the book had said, and she swore it was being cynical. "But not thought!" she shot back. That should shut it up for awhile.

They said the Light Train waits for no-one, but it waited for him. Or as long as the speed of light can wait. But it was enough for Darus. And as soon as he stepped in she knew the threshold had been crossed. She was no longer safe. The traps were set. The game had begun.

Her mind was invaded. He brushed everything aside light as a wind,

Odyssey into 2012 chapter six: The Zephyr KeyKaylin struggled with doubt. The fear of what she had done set into her thoughts, piercing her with worry. She knew Darus would fight her at every turn, but she had fought off herself from different dimensions. She had absorbed their knowledge, turning it into her own strength.
Powers stronger than any she'd ever known now coursed through her. She knew that this was not Zephyr. She'd absorbed the powers of alternate dimensions. Notus, Boreas, and Eurus. These three powers had been added to hers, and it frightened her.
The light train struggled against her. Darus was trying to fight back. She concentrated her powers, all four, into the nex

Odessey Into 2012 Chapter 2: Just like old timesThis isn't the Tokyo she remembers.
The hilltop view is chaos. Fires consume miles around, wind stirs the fumes, skyscrapers crumble. She gasps. Memories, however scattered, tell her this is wrong. They fixed this. Prevented this.
Hadn't they?
She'd made a deal once to forget all this, to move on. Was her mind clearing?
Behind her, a rustle. A man. Tall fit. Dressed simply, holding a tattered book.
"Who are you?" She steps back.

"I trained you. We were... partners. For a while..."
"...Jackson." She eyes the city. "Didn't we... fix this?"
"We did. We fixed everything, actually."
"What happened?"
"Darus."
"What?"

"You left. We made the world perfect. Fixed history. Then sat. We had thought we were working towards going home. Cycles passed, Darus soured, believing we were all fated to traverse the gates without true course, forever. But you... You left with the only ticket out. Then Darus devised a plan: undo some of our greatest repairs…"
"And bring me back…"

The End and The BeginningNow is now.
Kaylin is stepping off the Light Train. Its dark and the dry wind scratches at her face. It's the one place that doesn't come to mind when you think of New Year's Eve.
In front of her blooms a different kind of darkness. It's wet and humid. She turns around and Darus is there.
"This is it," he says. "The final gate. The last trial." He spreads his arms, and the wet warm dark spreads out and presses against her dark. He pulls his sword out of the scabbard. Kaylin stands in front of him, tensed to run.
"Running again?" He flourishes his sword. It's giving him an unfair advantage. The sword disappears.
"You should sacrifice you

Odyssey 2012 Chapter 5: The Rainbow ConnectionThe Light Train took on a new timbre around her. Her knowledge unlocked, she did not ride, but drive. The Train bent around to her command. She yelled in triumph! Backwards, to before it began. She could stop him at the start. Kaylin steered the Train, her body, soul, one with the Light. Then it fought her, bucking and twisting.

Her eyes opened. Kaylin wasn't alone. She was there. Kaylin, in purple. Kaylin, in green. Kaylin, in blue, yellow, orange, and violet. Each one steering, fighting. Yellow died first, a possible future snuffed out, and it's Light joined the Train. The others, alerted to the danger, fought back, but her Zephyr sang as

you're welcome

~RockandRelish Dec 22, 2011

Oh, sorry about the face. I'm just getting used to this place. I thought it would describe my comment, not the piece! Your submission is REALLY REALLY REALLY good. (Now I really AM ashamed....) I will never get the hang of this place, I fear.

~TrinaSempai Dec 22, 2011

Hahaha, no need to feel ashamed. I've been around for a good few months, and there's still quite a few things that I don't know myself (emoticons are the most obvious example, lol X3). Anyways, I used Corel Painter Essentials 4 with a Wacom Bamboo Pen tablet. I drew the original sketch on paper, then scanned it in to color. Thank you for the compliment ^_^

~RockandRelish Dec 23, 2011

Cool. Thanks!
