Notes on Elvish 001

So far, the longest elvish word that I have come up with is Sobamishlodfen (soh-bah-mihsh-load-fin). This is a compound word and breaking it down goes like this: Sobam means "Seed". The tag "-ish" is added to words to make it "Who bears [word]". The tag "-lod" means that this word is a defining quality for another word (usually the sentence subject), such as "A [subject] characterised by [word]". Finally, the tag "-fen" is the opposite tag. It turns Lalil (light) into Lalilfen (darkness), Aseth (mystery) into Asethfen (common knowledge) and Oquus (hill) into Oquusfen (valley). Most things in Elessic are defined as positive or negative. A positive thing (such as Open, Tall, Convex) has its own word, while negatives (such as Closed, Short, Concave) have their opposite with the "-fen" tacked on the end.

If you combine all of these you end up with a word roughly meaning "Characterised by not bearing seeds". How did this come up? Well, during my translation of the book of Genesis, I came to a point where I would have to translate "Seed Bearing Plants". I thought about it, and then I made a word for Seed, added the "Bearing" tag (which I had already come up with) then I put the "Characterisation" tag (which had also been made previously). I was quite proud of this word and one day I thought about it with the "Opposite" tag on the end. Why? Well I knew it'd be the longest word I'd have come up with yet.

A Dream

I am recording this early because dreams tend to fade as the day goes on.

I had a dream in which I was talking to a Japanese lady who worked at my school about a book I had been assigned to read in the fourth grade. The dream centered around the book. The book told the story of a teenage boy and girl who (for some reason) were alone together on an Island. I remember how they looked, but neither were people that I know.
Sometime early in the story the presence of a monster on the island was revealed. It was tall and humanoid with blackish-blue skin and an elongated head. This story was definitely not appropriate for a fourth-grader. I specifically remember the F word being used in it as well as graphic depictions of violence and several patches of sexual content. The Japanese lady had read the book also, and when she remarked that I should not have read it in the fourth grade, I replied saying that I didn't understand it because I was so young. This part may have been caused by my own reading of Beowulf when I was around the fourth grade.

This is when things get weird. Early in the story the girl was raped and impregnated by the monster and the majority of the story revolved around the relationship between the boy and girl as the boy cared for her as the pregnancy progressed. Eventually she was unable to walk and spent her time in an inland pool. The boy lived in a hut right next to it and he built a fence to keep the monster out. The story came to a climax one night when the girl was going into labour and the monster returned. The boy was torn between fighting the monster (to protect the girl) and helping the girl give birth. The ending was not revealed.

After speaking to the Japanese woman, I excused myself saying that I was late for a party. The party was a pool party at a girl I know from school's house. I don't know what her house looks like or if she even has a pool, but it looked like a house I've imagined before. The pool resembled the pool from the book (in shape and by having a shed right next to it) and my mom drove Anna and I there. At this point the dream loses its continuity and what was happening became mixed with what had happened and I remember only snippets but what they are I can only speculate.

Ahh

I'm back in Tennessee to spend a week at my grandparent's house for a week. My spacebar has ceased to function on the right side. I'll continue Later.

Ho Hum

Summer is long. I find it strange that humans are in constant need of contact with one another. For the most part, I could go all summer without seeing my friends, but they feel it necessary to see me all the time. Go figure.

I thought of a better URL for my blog but I forgot it. It was two words in latin... adTerminum! That's what it was. Maybe I'll use that instead...

More Ideas

I've got an idea for a horror short-story based on the Pied Piper of Hamelin story. Well, it originated as that, but after viewing 'The Triumph of Death' by Bruegel the idea mutated into something about skeleton-like beings luring children into an opening in the earth near the execution grounds.

I can't remember what I was going to say

Ideas

Poetry Idea Notes: Helter Skelter, Holding Hands in the Dark

I've got an idea for a story. An icy wasteland is said to have been a flourishing paradise many years ago. The people keep to the outskirts of the country (where it is a little warmer) in fear of a Witch who lives in a tower in the center of the country. A boy decides to go and find the Witch and have her (or defeat her) remove the Winter Curse that haunts the land. It turns out the the ''Witch'' was the princess of the land, who sealed off the rebellious Court Wizard after he attempted some sort of coup. To protect the world she sealed the Wizard away in ice, but was forced to freeze the whole country in order to keep him frozen. Yadda Yadda Yadda, the wizard is released maybe, action ensues. I may give it an ambiguous ending (like Prometheus) Oh, I haven't mentioned Prometheus yet. I'll do that later. I think I'll sign this one on for 10 Chapters.

Post Scriptum:
Recurring themes of Dreaming, Sleep, Ice, Wolves and Darkness.
The main character's name is Merrich, His personality will write itself. His team members are Angie, a Mage that he knew growing up, Brad, a thief and Arthur, a Cleric. Merrich falls into the Hero class.

Dragon Warrior

When I was younger, I would play my uncle's (a mere thirteen years older than myself) Nintendo. He had several games, but few impacted me as much as Dragon Warrior.
He had no idea what to name himself so he hit random letters, only to end up with "ZUIX 'RO", a name that I used for a while in various things, though my Brother has now taken it as his own.
I remember well its town names, especially Hauksness, Kol, Rimildar (though, I remembered it as Rimuldar) and Tantagel. Other names that stuck in my head were Edrick and Gwaelin. I like the name Gwaelin.

Drat, I just remembered that I had thought of a better name for Mallen (one of my story characters, he's psycokinetic) but I can't remember what it was. Something similar to Edrick I think. I'll be sure to write it down next time.
