So this is a little insider on me, I didn't have friends when i was younger, so i created my own fantasy world. and these days dreams have become this huge story. I am always the main character, but now, its kind of detatched from me that I watch all the characters.. Its like watching a movie, and I can spend up to like half an hour to an hour with music just 'directing' this story in my head. What's it about? Its been about several things, as I've adopted many different ideas that I have read, seen or heard, and I'd like to kind of put everything on the table to see just what you guys think, and see if I should actually spend the time and put it on paper.

So, it started out as me, actually being an alien from another planet... It was alot like animorphs. I was a centaurian creature, who could morph, and our live source was stored in a stone around our neck, we could get hurt, but we couldn't die until our time arrived and/or the stone was broken. I was sent to earth to spy out an enemy... (mozenrath) (from the Aladdin series on the disney channel..) And my people were called the Montazumans.... :p and I was part of a triplet, I had michael and Clorissa. And we had elemental powers. (I loved the idea of a magical sci-fi book.) combining a tamora pierce story with an orson scott card book.) I was fire...

that was in 2nd grade, so you aren't allowed to laugh, and I actually have part of it that I did put on paper, that I'm still super impressed with my self for writing that well..


Well that progressed for a couple more years... until, I had THE DREAM. it was more of a nightmare.. but it revitalized how I did my story, and it helped me come up with my own timeline, my own story with a couple aspects that I stole from other ideas.. including: the slayer idea from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The idea of the borg, The idea of an AI like Andromeda, a united federation of planets, and several of the names.... nikalaren goldeye, kisubo, trisana chandler.. and a couple more things...

So this dream of mine... I vaguely remember the end of it, and that's because it made me want to throw up.. It scared me, my goodness it scared me. I remember shaking when I woke up, and I couldn't go back to sleep. This was last year... In this dream, I could see this person that no one else could see. And he'd coerce me to do things, things for his amusement. Not anything like what anyone's thinking at the moment. No raping or things like that. But I did hurt my self, and take medications that made me weird.. etc. Well, THe other thing I remember is that I could feel when he was nearby. that was the throw-up feeling, it wasn't so much of a throw-up feeling, but a pure-evil being standing in front of me, I'm so scared, and 'revolted' type of throw up feeling.

Well I implemented that into my story and started up this timeline.

I have always loved prophecy stories. Ones where several thousand years in the past a prophecy of the future was made. one where I haven't made up the specific verses of it, but having something to do with 6 -8 people, I haven't decided, will bring back the ambient magic in the galaxy and defeat the dark lord morgwar, ( I apologize, morgwar came from terry brooks), and the slayer era will begin again. Something to that extent... anyway...

I'm the main character again, and I'm believed to be crazy on earth... I see a man that isn't there. And he causes me to hurt myself. I am put into a hospital, and there I get better.. I am released and the man comes back, and I decided to commit suicide... But instead I am whisked away by this man to this dominion. The man is some kind of alien (unknown) and he is known as Lord Daryl. (the name is funny and you'll see why in a minute.) There, I am 'assimilated' similar to the borg, except free will is held onto, because programs aren't creative enough, but senses are enhanced, and our abilities are expanded. Included are multitasking, scanning, computing, and other things that a super computer human could do, included are other pieces parts of computers that you can see on the body. I met someone named Stanton (sorry another idea stolen, from 'the daughters of the moon' books.) (all that is going on now has just plain been background info for me, I've never played it out in my head, nor have I really worked out a time line. But the basics are.. and these have changed even recently... I was taken, assimilated, and in the process of the assimilation, I did something to my brain, even as the program was taking control, I figured out how to control myself, and while I was completely under control of the programming for the first little while, (everyone goes through training that way.) I was writing back doors and viruses to escape. Those who were like me, we were called elites... And there was Me, Stanton, and Stanton's girlfriend Celeste and we were a group. We were asked to build a standing fleetship, more advanced than anything that anyone had ever seen. As it was build, more backdoors and administrative passwords were put into the programming to allow me to have control. (oh another thing, I taught stanton and celeste how to protect a part of their brain from invasion of the programming, and we were able to plot. all of these passwords and traitorous acts were hidden in this area.) Well, an AI was also being designed.. The galaxy isn't so advanced by way of programming entities as they are with space travel, defensive technology, and environmental capabilities. ) This AI was supposed to be similar to the one in Ender's Game, where it can get into any area on the network and control it.

At this point in time, I haven't really come up with the escape at all, but just that I had what was done of the AI downloaded into my memory banks, and stanton put me on a ship that he hijacked as he was coming in, and on it was an Akarian Royalty, Magistress Cassandra Drol. (spell drol backwards... and you'll get a hint why lord daryl is so funny.. but it won't make much sense.) Anyway, I flew with this other person who'd been kidnapped unconscious in the back, but I was having trouble, I was leaving a powersource and I was tiring out.

(another thing about this point, I still have to decide whether or not the ship, (“designated Andromeda” ) escaped with me, even though it wasn't finished. It isn't vital at this point in the story, it becomes vital later on, and I even have a cool way of getting a hold of it... but who knows. Of this story I have like the first 1/8th thought out in my head and know what's going on, but don't have any specifics... the next 1/8th is scripted out, and played out in my head, and I like it and wouldn't change it for the world, because it introduces half the characters that would become my life. the next like 1/12th of the story is all muddled, but I have an idea, and then right after that.. .BAM a major life changing point happens, and the next 8th of the story has some parts scripted and other parts just as background...
the next section is basically done, but I still kind of keep changing it, because its part of my show off syndrome, each time I redo it, it gets better and better.... The next part is in shambles, because right here.. if you pretend that this is all a movie... right here would be a television series in the middle because there are some many different opportunities that are opened up because of that life changing event. The love story is practically done, although, I'd like to change it. and the last like 3/8ths of the story are not even been touched.... well I take that back, the war on earth, my ascension, the kids, the prophecy fullfilment, and my death have been touched.. but they are constantly changing because of the storyline.

Am I boring you?
ok.. beginning of the 2nd 1/8th of the story.
Somehow or another I transport the magistress off the ship, and I transport my self off the ship as the ship is destroyed. Cassandra is transported onto a space station, and I am transported to the planet below, into dangerous gang territory on Caprica. (I know I know... Another idea. This is the capital of the alliance or whatever it is. in BattleStar Galactica.) continuing on, I am chased by men, who as part of a gang, will... well.. you think about it, its implied, and I run. there are 3 guys walking down this area because one of them actually lives down here while another one is the first one's best friend, and then 3rd guy is the 2nd 's teacher.

They find me as I dive into a niche under a building. The 2nd person comes over.. at this point my clothes are ripped and torn, I have circuitry showing, I'm dirty, beaten, starving, and ready to die. I had downloaded the ai out of my memory banks on to a data chip, and handed it to this person. This person had blonde hair, and had the thick banded glasses that look so cool. His name is nikalaren Goldeye. his buddy is Merconi Kisubo. (merconi started out as Marco.. but that was too hispanic... and he acts like marco from Animorphs....) the teacher was Kevin... something.. temporarily his name was Kevin Sorbo.. but only for lack of name, and he's only in this section of the story. So timeline time...
I am found by nik, merconi, and kevin, and I try to give them the data chip
Merconi sees the circuitry and thinks I'm a spy for the dark army
They hear the shouting of the gang that was chasing me
nik tells merconi to stay with me, and he and his teacher go take care of the gang... (through magic....)
they come back and nik takes me to a hospital where I am healed.. kind of and some of my circuitry is removed...
My story is related and after being super scared and shy, I take a liking to Nikalaren, and hang out with him, while merconi's taping all of this on his camera to use as proof and evidence for when I am captured as a spy. A transport is arranged for me to go back to earth to find my family.
upon arriving on earth, a scout team is sent to search my house and come back saying that there was traces of some kind of energy, (like strong radiation.) and that there were blasts all over the house, and that it didn't look like anyone had been there for a while... (I was in daryl's service for almost a year, and then it was like 3 and a half weeks after I was rescued that I returned to earth.
The cars were all there, and it looked like my family was dead. (I have already decided that my brother lived... being 'adopted' by the mental hospital doctor who took care of me. I haven't decided if my parents escaped into the witness protection program, thinking that their son and daughter were both dead... They originally believed that I had been kidnapped, until they saw the suicide note that I had written before daryl took me away. )
I take several priceless items from the house. Many pictures, items of worth, cash, an 'ohs' picture quilt... (I'm having trouble with the timeline with OHS because when I start including my teachers into the story, as in meeting back up with them.. / them seeing me and figuring out who I am... its like 5 years after I was taken by daryl, and I would have been in like 7th or 8th grade.. but I want to be like 10th grade when I'm taken... I want all the neat stuff that happens to be when I'm 18/19... I also take my dad's laptop, and other technology like stuff from the house, and I am taken back to caprica.
Nik's mother, shoot, I forget her name... takes me in temporarily, and Nik and I have become super good friends.. (I'll spare you the details on Nik for now.) Nik's adoptive little sister, Savannah, is a lot like an 11 year old innocent brat. She's a brat, but she doesn't try to be.. Brat isn't the right word.. super annoying is better... “Laura.. are you going to marry my brother?”
Nik is accepted to Winding Circle.. (sheesh, I know.) under the direction of Derrik Keyarin. kee-YAR-in. :p. Merconi is also accepted. As I have lots of knowledge of the dark lord, and am scared of the government officials, and will not divulge anything to them, pressure is put on the school to allow me to go with nik.
Interesting note here.. this story kind of started out as an alternate dimension. And I could travel between them. My teacher was Nikalaren Goldeye, rather than my friend, and one of my favorite memories that I had come up with.. (everything kind of situated in the orem area..) Was a bomb threat in the new fieldhouse, and I appeared to the suprise of everything, and using the instruction from my teacher, deactivated it without even touching it. :p, but something changed, and I wanted nik to be a friend rather than a teacher.)
Before school starts, there is a congressional meeting. Nik's mom is one of the maistresses may-stres-ses, or head of a department area, and she is required at that meeting. She brought me and nik and merconi along for the ride. one of the topics in this meeting is about earth. Earth is to far outside the boundaries of the United Federation of Planets, and too far out from any of the alliances... and the situation was this... 1. There are 6 billion people on that planet, enough to help forming an huge army.. implications of this... (what most people believed was wrong: Interfering with their natural development... (the prime directive) the other idea was that a series of bombs and other such devices were planted in the planet now, and then waiting for the dark lord to take over and make a standpoint base there, and then blow up the solar system, the planet, the sun, and therefore taking out 75% of the federation's enemy. Most of the delegates were leaning towards the latter idea.

Ok. I can't make this a bullet, because this is one of my favorite scenes.. in a summary form.. I run to the podium, and push the guy who was going to get on the stand, (who happened to be keyarin.) And yell at all 246 delegates that are present, and the other 130 that are participating by holographic projection and/or sound system. (btw, Merconi's still recording everything about me.) And I spill my guts to everyone, I fight for earth, and to keep people alive. that they will be a huge benefit, and that their natural evolution has already been disrupted by Daryl, and that his technology can be taught to earth... etc. So, another little background point is that there are 3 main people in the middle of this large room. these are like the coordinators, or judges of these proceedings. The one in the middle, I designated Umbridge. (from the 5th book in the harry potter series. ) She kept interrupting me, or trying to, and my comment to her was, “ma'am, shut up right now, and let me finish without you interrupting me, you do it to everyone else, and they are severely as annoyed as I am, they are just polite enough not to say anything.” she then tries to talk again, and I throw a writing utinsil from the podium at her. (If yelling at the Braithress was against protocol, throwing something at her certainly was, and that left her dumbstruck, as well as a major enemy of mine, in my academic life thereon, and the political life that I would lead. The other character that plays an important part in the story is Lyco Drol. <- lord backwards.. I'll explain in a moment.) Lyco is the Magistrate of Akaria, and as such, is heir to the entire fleet that his alliance holds. Very powerful person, very mature person, but he is my age. And was very young at this time, but was still very experienced in the political field. Or so he thought. He was being manipulated by umbridge.. and I clarifyed that to him. (he was one of the delegates over a sound system, and he couldn't see me,) and I basically chewed out the magistrate. And made the Braithress look bad. So much for diplomacy... This started a very long problematic relationship with lyco that ends up hurting and warring with each other, much to the delight of the media. I'll explain the funnyness of lord daryl, and then I'm going to post this, and continue later...
Somewhere in the middle of this story, I get captured again. Not intentionally, I saved another guy's butt and got recaptured in the process. I was rescued, and needed severe rehabilitation.When I was figuring out this part of the story back not long after I had THE DREAM, I decided that I needed to get daryl back into the story... and have him come after me, but not have anyone know it, So I came up with a character called lyrad drol, Lord Daryl backwards. But in my head, I kept saying lyco instead of lyrad like I was supposed to. during this rehabilitation process, word spars would happen between me and lyrad. and it got to the point that I was enjoying myself while coming up with the arguments.. and I got to the point where I fell in love with the character, me. the author of the story, not the character in the story. I loved the character so much that I had to put him in somewhere else and make him a 'good guy' not good to the me character of the story but good to the overall plot. So lyco Drol was born. And actually, I intentionally wanted nik and laura to get together, but as the story line keeps moving and shifting, lyco and laura might just end up with each other after all.

So I'll keep going with this story... and you can tell me what you think. :)
