A Whole Year!

Wow. A whole entire year has passed in, what, two or three posts, and it's november, NaNoWriMo. Funny how time flies. I'll post some of my story.

Perspective
1. A stark sunset blazed over the Valley. Skylark Everlace was gazing out with a patient keen eye, searching for the one vivid detail… There, a wisp of smoke, a hint of haze, a miniscule beacon. The scent of wood fire crept over the quiet party. The leader, Sash Searo, crouched, head twitching like a cat.

“On my word.” He said in a deep whisper.

The group spread their wings in the W flight shape of a hawk, preparing. They drew daggers emblazoned with the slashed circle of the Fletch tribe. Skylark was totally silent, an expert in stealth. She tucked a braid of black hair behind her softly pointed ear and tightened the straps on her armor, a look of grim determination plastered on her face.

Sash raised his hand and dove over the cliff. That was it. The group leapt silently after, their brown speckled wings painted black for camouflage caught an up draft and the dropping warriors angled into a dive. Skylark noted the wind direction and temperature and speed to accomadate her flight trajectory. She saw the small camp of the Outsiders. The humans. They had a fire going and were singing a song that was foolish and nonsensical.

Sash pulled out a fist sized round stone and fitted it to a sling, with the accuracy of an expert he shot it strait at the fire. The logs scattered with the force, showering sparks on the clumsy singers. They jumped around yelling and shouting. One dove into a tent and pulled out a shot gun, but the tribe’s warriors were faster. Within seconds they had dropped a net and were firing arrows at the humans. The camp was in flames, they danced and caught on the trees and brush of the wide canyon turning it orange and throwing devilish shadows on the surrounding cliffs.

Skylark dropped to the ground and tore at a little child laying stricken on the ground with her javelin and stabbed the girl in the arm, carefully avoiding the main arteries and vital veins.

“Child! If you wish to live, run south to the River of Clare! Go now or die!” Sky had no intention of killing the girl.

More coming soon.

Golden Leaves

As always I manage to spend several months without posting anything. Summer has came and went and now it is time for school! And once again school has started without so much as a blink on the blog. Anyway.
Highlights of this summer include a seventy kilometer, five-day kinking trip in Canada, upon which the fam saw a four foot long from tentacle to tentacle octopus. Also I went on a sailing trip with one of my fabulous friends in the Gulf Islands of Canada and through the San Juan Islands. We went swimming in frigid cold waters infested with quarter sized translucent jellyfish, fun, right!? We saw a large pod of orcas making a border crossing and breaching along the way, we cunningly devised an insult system and took to calling our siblings chilled saltzonas after their skillz tying the Arizona Green Tea to the swim ladder in order to keep it chilled. Don't worry, no tea was lost to the ocean. It was funny though.
Fall sprang up quickly and before I knew it I was going to Fred Meyers to purchase school supplies! Just a pop fact,my favorite type of pen is a PILOT G-2 pen. Ok, that was random. Sadly the new school supply list does not include note-books which are my favorite thing to get.
School began great, me and my other pal were doing an interesting schedule in order to do band and spanish, but I decided that after our trip to Mexico the teacher had a slowish pace. So I switched out and now am in a hippy teachers class, she is obsessed with Bob Marley, but I really like her as a teacher. Me and my friends are planning a booth for our Economics Market place... but that hasn't quite happened yet. Currently I am waiting for another pal of mine to call me back so we can hang out.
Catch ya later in a million years!

Gee Wizard

Gee Wizard! One of my amazing friends who is a complete Harry Potter fan with me has introduced the world of Hank Green and his Harry Potter rock songs. They are brilliant compilations of Hogwarts elements put to music, such as the verse:

"This isn't Hogwarts,
It's a concrete box,
And the pictures on the walls
are never gonna talk,
The teachers don't care,
The kids don't try,
The most magical thing they
have is fluorescent lights.
They don't put you in Hufflepuff
if you aren't cool,
Instead they sort you in
the parking lot after school!"
- Hank Green, Musician and Vlogger

He also has an Accio Deathly Hallows song too.
Other news... Um
Mid terms grades got out and I got an A in all my classes exept for Band. Boo hoo. The new WASL thing is happening in two weeks, this week is going to be full of tedious MAP testing.
Grumble.
Life is good.
I don't know what else to say, so goodbye for now, chances are I won't type for ages.

Abbey Tea Garden and Creativitea

 Sorry for leaving you hanging about halloween and all, but halloween was successful.
 Just now, I went to Creativitea in the town. I painted a Dragon that I named Gaia (daughter of Gloen...). I based it of of Chris De'Lacey's book,  The Fire Within and the rest of the series. I recommend them to any 5-7 grader that llikes the thought of clay dragons come to life. David Rain the college student gets swept up and in the later books will find out the secret of the dragons, polar bears, and alien-ish beings called Fain. so if you like squirrels, dragons, polar bears, aliens, and inuit shamanic messages.
Any how, that'll probably be the last of me for awhile because between my dual-math class (7 and 6th grade courses), conferences, and Nanowrimo, there isn't to much time to catch up with the Blogio,

Halloween!!!!!

Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek! Halloween is aproaching fast, I am being a steampunk named Deryn from a book by Scott Westerfeild called the Leviathan. I can't wait to get tons of candy with my buds, Emmily and Lauren. My grandparents are coming on thursday which is really exiting. They come almost every year in thier moblehome and park at our house. Also we are having a cider pressing and then we can chow on delish cider. After Halloween, my cousin who is in first grade is coming, and she is from San Diego.

New things in life include my recent uptaking of the flute, and scoring my second HatTrick in soccer.
