Yay! I'm not dead! (insert gasp.) I know, I know, I seriously need to learn to update more often. By the way, in my profile I've included some information on the chapters of my other stories!


Chess


It is only chess, I think. It is only chess, I tell others.

And I am right.

Sometimes, Vlad thought, you have to use pawns to get the things you desire.

And sometimes those things come with great heartache. He stared absent mindedly at Maddie Fenton's picture, but then looked away to the center of his lab.

However, if you sacrifice the position of the Queen in the game of Chess, you can gain the upper hand. Your opponent will attack, leaving their own King wide open.

And that is when you kill the King.

By doing so, you can keep your Queen and your throne, therefore winning the game.

It's just, having pawns makes turning the tides so much of an easier feat.

He had gained many things during his gamble between the young Daniel and Valerie, some of those things that would prove to be very useful for his next game of Chess.

"It's Chess, Daniel," he recalled saying. "Of course you don't understand."

But what did his soon to be apprentice misunderstand?

That it is not what you have, but what you don't have that counts….

I have acquired a new pawn in this game.

I will win, in the end.

Vlad Masters stroked the smooth metal of the Ecto Skeleton Battle Suit.


This is just a small babbling of what I think Vlad has done about the Ecto-Suit from Reign Storm. Well, really, what he's sort of planning to do with it….

I don't know. I got really bored…..

Never try to figure Vlad out. It's just one big headache….

If you have any constructive criticism or comments like that, please review! I'd appreciate it very much!
