Ryder had the urge to grab Fogthorn’s neck and strangle the life out of him but attacking him would be out of the question. It would be like coming up to a vicious dragon, saying “hey I’m dragon meat!”, and watching your legs be torn from your body. Without any weapons he was subjected to sitting here and listening to Fogthorn. Ryder did have a plan though, but not a very good one. There was a tiny, miniature chance that his plan might work. Ryder started his plan by feigning to laugh. He said, “You really think that Aether knows where The Gem is hidden? Only those who come of age know where The Gem is hidden and our parents disappeared* before Aether could know.” “So, you are saying that you are the only one that knows where The Gem is hidden for you are a few years older than her.. Haha! You unwittingly revealed that you know …show more content…
“You can do that?!” Ryder acted as if he was terrified. “I can do many things.” The elemental Dragon said as he took out his tail from which he held the poison in and stung Ryder. Ryder did not feel a thing. Aether woke to the sound of Ryder screaming in pain. She sat up and found him on the floor writhing in agony with Fogthorn standing on top of him looking calmly. “What happened?! What happened to Ryder?! WHY AREN'T YOU DOING ANYTHING?!” screamed Aether at the top of her lungs. She tried to come nearer to Ryder but Fogthorn batted her away with his wing. “Quiet child. The transformation is happening. He is not as strong as you are, so this will be quick.” said Fogthorn calmly. Aether stared as she saw her brother becoming paler. Suddenly, everything stopped. It seemed as if time was standing still. Then, Ryder stopped his jerking and opened his eyes. What used to be chocolate brown eyes were replaced with charcoal, hardened, evil looking black eyes. He stood up and looked directly at Aether. “Ryder?” Aether whispered to see there was any sign of her brother
"Uh-huh, but he don't feel nothing. Wouldn't be humane if he did." Said the guard
“Give it here wigger!” The two charged at once, dumb fucks, Karkat leaped over them. One collided with the wall, the other hit the office door. The sound the highblood made from inside was terrifying and Karkat could hear him approaching the door. Now was the perfect time to run and he did.
Hearing Marak's reassuring words that her people would not be harmed the elf expelled her breath and smiled with relief, loosening her grip on the goblin's shirt. “Thank you...” she uttered softly.
The concept of fate is immensely significant in The Aeneid and drives the story to what it is today. When Virgil describes the souls of the Roman soldiers from the Underworld, it foreshadows the Trojans being successful in the end. One could suspect that this gives away the poem and loses the suspense, but the readers of then did not have a good understanding of fate. In The Aeneid, the goddess Juno keeps reminding the reader that destiny ends up determining that the Trojans will eventually make a city in Italy, though she does not specify how they execute this. Juno ends up using this as her advantage to make the Trojans face an astounding amount of difficulty. The other side is even though the readers believed in the concept of fate, this
...en doing this a long time, and I have never seen someone with your amount of spunk…” Shaking his head in awe, Loki turned and rummaged through his belongings. Finding what he was looking for he turned toward her, “Well, a deal’s a deal. Here’s your voice back.” He stretched out a knobby hand and reluctantly revealed a tiny silver vile. Corinthia snatched it off his palm and emptied it in one gulp before he could change his mind. The two stood in the middle of the clearing staring at each other, one confused one furious. “Well, did it work? Did you feel anything?” Corinthia took a deep breath and placated her fury. I don’t feel any different, so I suppose there’s only one way to find out if it worked. Reflecting on how Loki treated her, she contemplated her first words.
He cowered behind a tree and covered his eye. “Chill, Legend Greene’s grandson. The boy who wrestles with goblins.”
Eastern Rome contributed the mass majority of works of literature. Virgil, a well known Roman poet, gave the world his epic: The Aeneid. The Aeneid is about a traveler who sails for Italy but is destined to end up in Rome. As Aeneas, the traveler, and his crew near Rome, a storm throws them off and they end up in Carthage. Aeneas tells the story of his journey to the queen of Carthage. Ovid wrote Metamorphoses. This story is about Ovid asking the Gods to help him come up with an idea for his work. Ovid writes about the creation of the world and goes on into present day. Ovid also describes the birth of the world. Publius Cornelius Tacitus wrote the Germania, which is a historical work on the Germanic tribes outside the Roman Empire. Julius
“Daemon, it is you that is confused. It is me that you must fear for it is I who brings the storm. You will not withstand my storm of violence. Leave me now!” Slowly the wind abated and soft laughter nagged at his ears. He batted at the air as though trying to swipe a nagging winged
Twinkle felt a chill creep into her heart, very slowly, like a slug, and nestle between her ribs. “He cannot find the house,” she said. “The clearing is well hidden. I’m not good at most of the spells I use, but I’m good at protective spells. I find it awful to think that someone wants to do something bad to my animals or me.”
The sound of screams was distant and muffled as a high pitched hum filled Brayden’s eardrums. For a moment the room went dark and she was the only one there, standing, unable to move. It was silent for a second and then the sound of her breathing consumed the room. It was fast and shallow, leaving little room to pause. Her breathing turned became rapid before coming to her senses. And just like that, she was standing there again afraid of what was to come.
Ancient Rome, one of the greatest cities in the western world was found by archaeologists on the Palatine hill around 750 BC. There are two founding ancient legends of Rome: Romulus and Remus, as well as the legend of Aeneas, they go hand-in-hand opposed to contradicting one another. Aeneas (~1200 BC) is the legendary founder and first real hero of Ancient Rome. During the Trojan war, the Gods had saved Aeneas due to having a greater destiny. He fled the Trojan war in Troy with his people to Italy, where they settled and lived. Him and his ancestors would eventually become the early Romans. This legend was written by a man named Virgil (70 BC - 19 BC) who was instructed by the emperor Augustus to write this around 1000 years after this has
“You dares approach the castle,”Sarah screamed from in the air. Of course silly Ethan let out a short scream and Kaleb slithered back into the forest in a hurry.
A heart-wrenching agonized howl rang through the air, screeching its one last wail of anguish as its life excruciatingly seizes itself away from its body. Faintly hearing the tremendous drop of the dead, Avory's heart once again wrenches itself out of its thwarting hold. Venomously harming the outside of her chest, her organ splutters and painfully squeezes against the walls of skin achingly suffocating it.
“I’d rather be dead than know that Juniper died because I couldn’t keep my promise.” His brother looked at him with amazement.
When discussing the fate of Aeneas, a thought provoking question is posed that is commonly debated. If Aeneas is commanded by fate, does he have free will? It is important to approach this question with a solid understand of fate. There are two common sides to the debate of whether Aeneas had free will or not. One view believes Aeneas had no choice but to follow his destiny because he was commanded by fate, and prophesied to found the race that will one day build Rome. The other side states Aeneas did indeed have free will, and even though his fate was set, room is available within his fate for events to change. One can argue Aeneas makes some of his own choices, but no particular detail of his life is untouched. Destiny determines that the Trojans will found a city in Italy, but it does not stipulate how that will happen. This is where room is left for free will. After much research and considering the views of many commentators and the proof they showed, the answer can simply be found by going back to the text of The Aeneid.
