Take Flight
Moonlight shadows silent in waking
The dawn of bright night triumphantly taking
Swallowed in darkness never to rise
Under the surface where hope lies
The currents are strong enough for me to harness
The winds are ripe enough for me to harvest
My life depends on the flight of the breeze
Through ice-capped mountains and the sound of the seas
I mask ill will from my expression
I take flight and leave behind all stress and tension
Free, I came into the world and free I shall be
Nothing stands in my way to victory
Adventures are endless and frequently done
The boundaries of the world are simply none
I live life to the full and follow that sign of hope
In the form of a gentle breeze, always guiding me.
Yep, you're right! It's Hay Lin. I'll go back to Cornelia, don't worry! I've got two ideas lined up already!
Arethusa: Hehem, my ideas.
Me: Whatever. Thalia wasn't this buggy. Why do you have to be??
Arethusa: Thalia was weak.
Me: Hey! God, you're like Jesse from the Mediators or something. Except I don't like you!
Arethusa: Gee, thanks. Way to be diplomatic.
Me: I wasn't going for diplomatic! God, I wonder if I can replace your stupid daily pint of spring water with holy water…
Arethusa: I'm not a vampire, I'm just a Greek huntress who lives forever (which means holy water couldn't do a thing to me). Besides, that's probably just a myth. Along with the idea of vampires altogether.
Me: You talk too much. The offer still stands to crawl into my head…and stay there for all eternity so these writing ideas may be mine…(trails off with dreamy face and eyes glazed over)
Arethusa: You need to stop. I am beginning to become concerned for your welfare. I never though you were sane, but I assumed you were physically healthy. But the rest of you is sick and needs medical attention. Do you think I can make Athena take one of her swords and hack your brain in two? I kind of bet Daphne (that's another huntress with a similar tale to Arethusa's but she turned into a laurel tree, not a spring) your brain curdled into a dumpling and is spoiling.
Me: HEY!!!!
Arethusa: I was trying to be kind. Daphne said it was all empty.
Me: Next time, I'm going to think before I let you on stage…
Arethusa: You never think at all!
Me: Shut up! Shut up, shut up, shut up! Arf, arf, arf!!
Arethusa (Blinks): OMG! Do I need to call a mental asylum? I still have that five hundred bucks I stole from your father maybe…
Me: FIVE HUNDRED BUCKS!! Why you…
Arethusa: Hey, you're not barking anymore!
Me: Yeah, about that. I was in another Eoin Colfer mood from The Wishlist
Phew! Review! And if you're disappointed, sorry, I really did try.
