The compass… What a beautiful creation. Burned into one’s little arms at birth, the red pin always pointing at destiny. Destiny one must travel to, a type of destiny named love. The blissful romance of twirling skirts and melodic laughing from a young story of either woe or contentment. Though destiny is not entirely glitter and kisses, it is and will never be the work of fiction we all wish it be. It is also a raging storm against a raft in violent gunmetal waters, smashed plates and wine glasses once filled stained with tears and tragedy as cries and whimpers fill the lonely grey room that withheld an untold tale of sorrow.

Destiny, as mystifying as it is, can be merciless.

Though… maybe not in this case. Maybe not in the case of the poor little prince in his depressing creamy marble balcony. His glimmering jade eyes were devoid of the usual passion and joy they once shined with. Passion and joy were replaced with longing and unfulfilled urge. Urge to find his soulmate. His soulmate. He has built a reputation for himself for finding his citizen’s one and only, why couldn’t he find his? Why not a quest for the brave prince with a promise of a fairytail ending?

Simple. His father. The man who insisted he stay locked up inside, only seen when needed, only for the fair young maidens to coo and swoon at upon sight. All his services had been classified, hidden away within the palace walls, never to be dug up. But of course, that was only dust on his shoulder that he will eventually brush off. Because the one thing in his mind was them. His rare focus was on what he had considered will be his best achievement. His missing piece. The one he will treat like royalty then proceed to make them royalty.

His soulmate.

Though their meet was delayed many times, today, he was finally going to find them, see their sparkling eyes twinkle in the natural warm sunlight, witness their face contort from confused to… hopefully something positive. Today he will set off to the depths of the unknown and finally, finally, without any form of hesitation or restraint, be free from the chains of the limelight of their watchful gazes on him. Because as much as he loved his kingdom, he didn’t mind the morning breeze flowing through a woodland cottage as his love lied next to him, breathing softly and peacefully like an angel sent from the heavens. He didn’t mind the playful ribbons of the sunset reflecting on the diamond windows, endearing touches slowly becoming a burning sensation that lasts midnight when the stars bless their love.

But alas, father dearest must foil his plans once more when Roman Kingsley heard the familiar thudding of leather boots on the porcelain tiles, not even an attempt to sneak up.

“Father?”

At the unceremonious acknowledgement, his father came closer, crossing his arms as his eyebrows furrowed, “Roman.”

Roman only heaved a heavy sigh, his brown hair teasing his forehead as he ran a hand through them to tame the flying strands. They seemed to shine in the sun, glowing a divine gold over the hues of brown, a halo of a prince. A prince fit for the role of a protagonist, a hero in fiction. Too good to be true, too perfect for such an icy hell called Earth, a forgery for the monsters and myths. A place of fire and ice, uniting to let their twisted gift see the light, the most merciless craft of the gods all creation feared as their result of boredom wrecked havoc over the paradise they so generously provided. And yet there he was, gleaming gold and red, a divinity in the midst of the madness.

Gold in the sand dunes, he'd say.

“What do you need from me, father?” He pondered, raising an eyebrow. There was no denying the slight hurt bubbling in his chest. The weight that rivalled Earth itself was pressing down harshly on his tired shoulders, a warning like defying gravity to never let go. Handling pain had always been his forte, a duel of clashing bronze and gold in the air. But dealing with muffled, inconveniencing pain from someone he had once considered his own father? He'd rather be thrown to the wolves.

“Morgana's at it again. This time worse than usual.”

Contrary to popular belief, he was rather fond of the treacherous shape shifter. Sure, they both had their moments of malice and graceful of fiction-worthy battles, but nonetheless, she was one of good company. Maybe even a friend. Though Roman was positive she'd never admit it. She always struck up a conversation, even the first time they met. Throwing blasts of flames and questions about him and then proceeding to vent to him about the stupidity his father must’ve had to send a 15 year old to “slay” a dragon. His agreement and addition to the topic had unknowingly blossomed a purple and red friendship, flourishing in the snow while dripping vicious, warm blood on the contrasting temperature. If anything, he was thankful his father had sent him on those missions.

But one thing stuck out from his father's sentence.

Worse than usual?

“Will you take care of her?” He deadpanned, placing a large, heavy hand on his shoulder. It was of the most brief displays of what his father called “affection”. Please. Even the stalactites in the dark of the caves nearby loved him better. That is, if constantly falling and almost gifting him a concussion is loving in one's words. Which apparently was to the stalactites. But what did he expect? Kisses on foreheads and ‘we love you's?

“You know I will.”

Its not like he had anything better to do.

Well, there was one mystery at hand. Er, wrist. Because no matter where he turned, the compass pointed the tip of the silver dagger north. It didn’t, not once, change direction. A cliché, yes, but one can only assume his soulmate takes solitude in the brutally icy snowy mountains, freezing for their own life. Or maybe thriving. Who knows, this fair lass or lad may be a hunter, shooting silvery bits of moonlight to puncture any stags nearby. A life they see worth living over their humanity. It was grave, yes. But Understandable. It was ironic, really. Because north was where Morgana set camp that day. Just his lucky day.

The trot of the thoroughbred echoed widely in the evergreen willow forests, tiny little warm white stars shining and illuminating the strip of a path towards his usual Sunday evening. Towards the steep, rocky mountains of Ragana. Could’ve done a better job at naming the damn thing but hey, it's her mountain after all. He had no jurisdiction to interfere with her property.

But the peak of the mountain showed way, standing in all its shimmering glory in the afternoon sun.

“Morgana? My dear, I appreciate the need to see me, but I am on a quest! I must find my soulmate! Can this please wait?-“

“What do you want with my mother?”

He froze, his begging paused. His hands grow stiff as a tree in the air, his hair brushing his forehead teasingly against the cold wind the white snow tinted. The voice had slightly shocked him, foreign and quite… mystifying. He says foreign, through there was a silver lever snapping in his mind, saying it is a familiar melody in his ears. Dark, surely a male's, unwavering, and very, very attractive. How does one tell if another is attractive through their voice?

Another detail caught his attention. His compass, rock solid. Normally a compass' pin will vibrate, jitter, yet still keep its direction clear. The silver end was ice, now burning his arm once more ever since the day of his birth, the tip of the pin now locked on the engraved N. He never recalled any but one knowledge of the compass freezing mid-encounter.

The compass speaks.

Was this young lad his bound? The end of the red string…? His.. Destiny…?

“Hey! Prince guy! I was talking to you-“ the voice died, now silent. The only thing that passed his ears were the slapping of the drooping Willow trees nearby that served him a dreamy backdrop and the blowing winds, gentle and smelling of the oddly comforting breeze of winter.

His body regained its motioning state, his hand dropping to his side, brushing his white blazer. His eyes scanned the scene, remembering the direction the voice came from. It came from under the dark overhang of stone, untouched by the snowflakes. Morgana's humble abode, he'd say. And since when did she have a son? Assuming it’s a man.

“I-She's been wrecking havoc amongst Acelina. We cannot afford any more wreckage, we cannot spend money so carelessly to clean up her messes. She must be stopped.” He said, his head held high. One could take one look at his poised form and think that he was actually confident, brave as he faced the man. But no. His head was screaming. His legs felt like stiff jelly. He was weak for just a dark and mysterious voice. Sue him.

“And? Must you kill her? What proposes that need?”

He squawked in surprise and offend, “I never said she must perish! I simply need to talk-“

“Oh? Then why a sword? Why the need to bring a rash weapon when all you need to do is talk?”

If this was his soulmate, his guards better prim his deathbed soon for this hiding man will be the cause of his delicate demise.

Everything evaporated into the wind, a heavy silence falling and pressing on their slouched shoulders, a force like defying physics. And as every second ticks by in the hourglass, the weight started to gain, pound by pound as they helplessly watch themselves almost get wordlessly sink into a rabbit hole of deep tension.

Almost all else was lost into the marine depths of the Pacific till Roman heard footfalls against the 2inch thick snow. Till the small clouds of breaths from the other brushed softly against his flushed cheeks. Till he felt something cold and sharp press against his chest.

Oh no.

“Listen, prince, I don’t care who you are, what you want, or what your intentions are, all I want you to do is to not—touch—my—mother.”

Though the icy silence was the only solace he could’ve confided in, he had to reply. And he had to do it carefully. One wrong spin, one wrong puff of air, one wrong gesture, and the dagger drives violently through his panicking heart and he will be left to die in the clutches of the dark, mysterious lad without even a glimpse of his face.

“I have no intention or need to hurt your mother. She and I are… acquaintances. And I wish to speak to her.”

The lad lifted his head, his purple velvet hood now falling off as Roman was sure his heart had stopped and screamed at the sight…

His eyes. Those wretched, silver and coffee eyes will be the death of him. Sunlight flooded in them, the numerous similar shades of iron and dirt violently popping against porcelain skin. His hair was a tint of purple, blending in with midnight spikes flopping on his head. His lips were tight and sealed, a menacing scowl stretching his sharp features.

“Acquaintances, huh?-“

“Virgil!” a new voice broke through the sharp silence, stern and feminine. They both recognized it immediately.

“Mom?”

“Morgana!”

The woman was insanely beautiful, he had to say, what with the curled umber hair and the piercing gold eyes against equally pale skin as her son. The threaded hem of her slim burgundy dress was damp against the snow, her black velvet cloak waving against the wind.

“Virgil Anxolia Black, what on earth were you about to do?” she loudly proclaimed, pulling him by the arm and releasing the tight pressure ‘Virgil' so graciously put him under. He released a breath, swallowing lightly. Virgil, however, looked outraged, a cold, hard determination in his eyes. His gloved hand seemed to tighten around the knife the second Roman began to speak.

“Fret not, Morgana, he was simply-“

The knife was raised, another step falling onto the snow as he heard the crunch of it under Virgil's boot, “what’d I say about my mother?!”

Perhaps it was the strong tone of his voice or the alluring gleam of his wide, steely eyes, but Roman had just felt his heart skip a sobbing beat. His beauty was radiant, a rose against the crowded leaves, a lit candle amidst a hurricane, a stray shadow in the room of light. And with a knife pointed and a lethal scream of his heart, Virgil Black was truly an unmistakable Adonis in his jade eyes.

The scene went still, a brush of the wind setting tiny movements for the three. A chill ran down Roman's spine at it. Silence was never an area of expertise of his. Silence turns into tension, tension into impulsiveness, impulsiveness into absentminded decisions that lead to blood being drawn and late night regrets to weep for. He was not a fan.

But alas, before tension turned into a form of impulsiveness, the woman in the cloak stepped forward, gently taking her son's wrist, “your compass…”

Virgil raised an eyebrow, taking his wrist down, therefor lowering the knife and allowing Roman a few seconds of oxygen, “what’s wrong with it…?”

His mother huffed in gleeful disbelief, her golden eyes glimmering, “its still! Your soulmate must be in your presence!”

Contrasting the unusual cheery expression of the shape shifter, Virgil stilled, his hand once again a lethal grip on the bronze dagger, his eyes flat with no emotion, “someone's here.”

This only made Roman's skipping heart seemingly beat faster in lovesick adrenaline as he slowly connected the dots.

Mine doesn’t work either…

And it was clear that Morgana thought the same as she dragged Virgil's wrist forwards closer to him, careful not to impale the flinching prince, and took his own wrist, lining both their compasses up until both North and South are parallel points.

Everything seemed to click in the two men's minds, mismatched eyes meeting jade.

Oh boy, this will be a ride.

The Chronicles of the Dark One: Magical Loopholes

Chapter 32: Coming Clean

Useless. Moe French was wholly and completely useless!

He didn't take anything from Moe. Though he'd been tempted to hold the man down or wallop him over the head to get blood from him to find Belle, he resisted the urge. If she had left on her own and if she did come here, the last thing he wanted her to find was her father lying there bloodied by his own hand. Of course, the second that Moe told Belle about what had happened up in the cabin, he was doomed anyway, but at least he stood a better chance at getting to talk to her by leaving her father in peace. If she'd left on her own free will, if not…

It was time to start making further inquiries. He didn't want to assume the worst where Belle was concerned but history had taught him that he might need to plan for the worst. The worst, in this case, was that Belle had been taken. Whether she'd been lured off the property and taken or left on her own and been found by someone like Regina, he wasn't sure. But he had to consider either scenario.

Unfortunately, the moment he stepped outside the flower shop and looked around, he was struck by a foreboding sense of paranoia. There were people everywhere; people walking down the street, people driving cars, people going about their business. Anyone could have taken Belle. Regina would have been his first suspect, but he doubted that the woman would risk that right now. That still left others. Many others. Enemies he hadn't thought to find with Belle safe in his home, people he'd made deals with that might have carried grudges, even the ever-present shadow of his mother and father presented some torment. So many, many people. If Belle hadn't been taken yet, then he needed to find her before someone else did.

But he didn't know where to begin. He didn't know where to start. He was oscillating again, swaying from panic and anger back into debilitating sadness and hopelessness.

Fuck! He was the Dark One. He couldn't be brought to his knees like this. He had to focus! Usually, in this situation, he would have called Dove and had him mobilize his cousins. That brood would have found her in thirty minutes or less. But after the confrontation with Dove, he didn't know if the man would voluntarily work for him, and after he'd learned that his deal with Regina had fallen through the cracks, he wasn't sure if the one he'd made with Dove's father would have similar results. He was alone. He had to find Belle on his own, or else find someone who would be able to.

Someone who knew how to find someone…he knew of two people who fit that bill perfectly. One of them, unfortunately, was beyond reach at the moment. But the other…David. He and Mary Margaret had moved heaven and earth to get back to each other several times over back home. He knew how to find people, and, by some miracle, he was also one of the few people in town who already had a hint about Belle, thanks to a previous conversation. Maybe he could find her. Or at least tell him how to find her. They had, of course, made a deal to stay out of each other's business, but this arrangement would be a request, a loophole to that deal. And with his own wife and daughter missing, he might just be sympathetic enough to his plight to help in some way.

His magic traced David Nolan to Mary Margaret's apartment. It wasn't surprising. He knew that the makeshift center created in front of Town Hall had all but disappeared in the last few days, and he didn't expect him to go home and live with Kathryn now that their memories were back. The apartment made the most sense for a man waiting for his family to return from another realm.

He thought through his options one last time as he stood before the door, unhappy about what this might imply, but unfortunately, he came to the same conclusion he had before. This was his only option. With a deep breath, he knocked on the door, and it swung open what seemed like impossibly fast to reveal David, who immediately looked at him and rolled his eyes.

"May I have a word…" he managed to get the words out before David could close the door, only for his eyes to be drawn to something gold shining on his belt buckle. "Sheriff?"

"Uh, acting Sheriff," David corrected. He fought back a smile. Mr. Gold processed all the ways that wasn't technically legal, but he didn't particularly care one way or another. With Emma gone, the title suited David in some way. Besides, he'd bet Regina loved it. "And I'm already late on another busy day, cleaning up the mess you made."

"My apologies," he muttered as David ushered him in regardless. He meant it too, looking back on things now and all the trouble this had brought him where Belle and Bae were concerned. If he'd known that, he would have timed things differently. "That was a moment of poor judgment on my part. And it's not lost on me that I'm now here to ask for your help."

"Well then, it shouldn't be lost on you when I say no."

"Hear me out first," he insisted as the boy gestured to the door. He extended his hand and held out the picture of Belle. "I'm here to report a missing person."

There was a long pause while David's hands slid from his face to the paper and then back again, contemplating, thinking about it. His heart beat as he silently made up his mind, and he wondered if this wasn't a mistake. This meant she was anonymous no more. But, he reminded himself, there were worse people in this town that could know about her existence; the Snow Queen, for example. Finally, David took the paper, unfolded it, and looked at her.

"She left my home early this morning. Her name is Belle."

David's mouth hung open as he stared, then glanced up at him suspiciously. "Back in our land, you mentioned you loved someone once. Is-"

"Yes," he answered quickly, turning away from him and trying not to relive that memory.

"You also said she died."

"I'd thought she had." From behind, he heard the sound of the door closing. Good, that was good.

"Well, why don't you just use the tracking spell you gave me to find Jefferson?" Jefferson…was that who he'd been trying to find? Interesting, but not the reason he was here. And also…not relevant to this discussion.

"It only works if you have something the person owned. I don't."

"How can you be sure she's gone missing and not…run away."

"I can't," he interrupted as he felt a sharp pain in his heart that might have had something to do with being the Dark One and having a heart that was slowly blackening or Belle…he wasn't sure. He didn't want her to have run away, but he didn't want someone to have taken her either. Running away was reassuring but also heartbreaking. He just needed to find her. Then he'd know. Then he could decide how he felt.

"Look, the townsfolk are less than sympathetic to my plight. But you… You're in the rather unique position to understand exactly what I'm going through." David sighed and looked away, stared at something behind him. He was getting somewhere with him. He didn't dare look at what he was staring at, just waited for his gaze to return to him. "Will you help me?"

David looked back at him, his jaw set firm. He was staring, but he could practically see the wheels in his head turning uselessly. It was done. David was a stubborn man when he wanted to be. If he made up his mind, then it was made up. If the answer was "no," then he'd have dismissed him by now. The fact that he was still sitting here thinking through it meant that he'd already decided. He'd do it.

Finally, David sighed. "Look…for this to work, you're going to have to give me some information. I know that's not your forte-"

"What do you want to know?"

"Who is she? Really."

No, information wasn't his forte, and he wasn't pleased, but he'd expected that he'd require at least a bit of knowledge before outright agreeing. And he was old; he knew how to give away the essential parts while holding the truly important details close. For Belle, to get her back and make sure she was alright, he'd do what he had to.

"A Princess."

"She's royalty!" David balked. "Do I know her?!"

"Doubtful. She's the daughter of King Maurice," he clarified matter-of-factly.

He watched as David's eyes went glassy for a moment in thought, then widened in realization. "Moe French? The owner of Game of Thorns?"

He gave only a single, curt nod. "Yes."

"He has a daughter?!" David's eyes wandered down to the picture he'd given him on her.

"She was gone by the time you entered into that society. When his land was invaded with ogres, she made a deal with me that I'd rid her land of them, and she'd come to live with me as a maid. We fell in love."

David watched him from under his eyes, suspicion and judgment flashing in front of them before he picked his head up to observe him again. "You thought she was dead. Was that a lie?"

"No. After I dismissed her from my service, Regina informed me that she'd returned to her father and had died, but it turns out Regina had kidnapped her and was holding her against her will without my knowledge."

"Regina? That's believable enough, but where's she been all these years."

"Regina put her in an asylum, I suspect to bide her time until she could use her against me. Belle's curse was no memories, no family, no name, nothing. She was freed just before the Curse broke and found me. She got her memories back when the rest of you did. We've been together ever since."

"Okay…is there any reason to suspect Regina did something to her then?"

"No," he answered with little hesitation. "Regina has many flaws, but she's intelligent. She knows that if she dared to try something like that again, I'd kill her."

David huffed. "'Your business'…this is why you sent the Wraith after her after the Curse broke. You found out what she did to Belle."

He nodded.

"Against better judgment, or maybe because of it, I'll assume you already talked to Moe French."

"He claims that he hasn't seen her."

"Why can't you just use magic to find her?"

"In order to keep her safe, I put certain spells over her."

"Let me guess. Those spells make it difficult for even you to find her."

"Unfortunately," he growled.

"Okay, so you last saw her this morning. What happened before that?"

"We fought," he admitted tapping his cane nervously against the floor. It wasn't really a "fight." A fight implied two people arguing when in fact, she'd asked questions, and he'd refused to answer them, but he knew what David was searching for. Motive. He was looking for a reason she might have left. "Fight" was the best way he could think to describe it, even if it did chaff his soul a bit. "We argued over my use of magic. She got frustrated with me, I went downstairs, she went upstairs, when I went to find her, she was gone."

"Look…if she left-"

"Then I'll leave her be, Sheriff," he assured him. "But she has no knowledge of this town. Since she got her memories back, she's either been at my house, the shop, or the woods, aside from a few hours when she was out on her own when magic came back, she's never been anywhere else, hasn't met another soul for twenty-eight years, probably longer with how Regina kept her. I just need to know that she's safe, that no one has taken her, and she's left of her own accord."

"I was going to say, 'if she left, you might just want to wait for her to come back."

"If I had any confidence she'd be safe on her own, I would."

David took a deep breath, then folded up the paper he'd given him and stuck it in his pocket. "Fine," he muttered, moving toward to grab a leather jacket that was reminiscent of Emma's, only black instead of red. "We'll start on Main Street. If she's not been captured, then we have to assume she…wandered off," David explained as they left the apartment. His hesitation told him that he wanted to say "ran away" but had managed to stop himself in time. "If she's lost, then she'll likely go somewhere familiar, and it sounds like the closest, most familiar place is Main Street."

"And you what…just intend to start asking questions?"

David shrugged, slipping his keys into his pocket. "Let's see where it gets us."

The man moved to lead him from the apartment landing, but he reached a hand out and stopped him, unhappy with his plan of action. Belle could be anywhere, and he just wanted to start asking questions?

"Look, let's get this straight," David began with an attitude that suggested he had properly interpreted his frustration. "If we do this, then we do things my way. I do all the talking. If you can't agree to that, then you are more than welcome to find someone else to help you."

He wanted to strike back, to offer a quick comment about his way being slow and inferior to what he could do. He wanted to tell him that he didn't want his help nor need it. He wanted to remind him that it was only because of "his way" that he had everything he'd ever needed in life and more.

But he couldn't. And David knew it. He couldn't because the truth was that he wouldn't have been here if he didn't need David to help him with this. He had no other options, no other choice.

"If that's the way it must be," he muttered. But as he turned, it was David's turn to put his hands on him and stop him.

"Agree," he demanded. "No loopholes or tricks, agree."

Sometimes the False Prince was a damn bit too smart for his own good. But he had no time observations or arguments. Belle was out there somewhere, and David was leaving him with very little room to play with words. A younger Dark One, one who hadn't learned to love power and control as he did, wouldn't have seen any of what he offered. Fortunately, he did. He knew that there was a difference between "very little room" and "no room at all."

"If you help me, then I agree to do things your way until we've discovered who took Belle or where she's gone too. Happy?"

David crossed his arms and thought for a second before slowly nodded his head. "Despite the wiggle room you allowed yourself…yes."

David moved around him and descended the stairs leaving him shaking his head at the boy he'd watched turn into a man.

Too damn smart…

Discover the Famous Places of India

INCREDIBLE INDIA

We arrive at the territory of 1,000 languages along with 1,000 gods. In the Intercontinental, the ladies in my personal collection are well versed with marigolds and branded with all a standard red dot onto our foreheads. This lodge is an oasis of luxurious at a polluted metropolis of 14 million folks. Two times have been spent traveling Delhi. The sites comprise Gandhi's Tomb and lots of UNESCO World Heritage Web Sites. Wherever else have historic customs combined together using the present in the scale therefore clear as in Delhi. Extra fat sacred Brahma bulls block site visitors creating flaws. Within this land, cows guideline. Canines, monkeys, and kiddies cross their risk.

I really like spiced foodstuff and commence each evening with a3 alarm-curry breakfast. We mind through trainer for Rajasthan, the gorgeous desert country by which cattle are substituted with camels. The atmosphere will be sweeter and that which more vivid. Here's really a microcosm of everything India is. Many folks are refined having a stunt in the event soul and light at the sight of thieves. We always tide by way of our chimney to people that struggle with fascination and appear to mention "why should you ever come ?" Like being a lover of this 3rd universe, this spot was around my own fantasy record for ages. I vividly enter that area of traveling providing you with me astonishment.

We have begun to wait for the yearly Camel honest at Pushkar that's occurred for one million decades past Whilst the entire world's most significant, it's in its summit attracted 50,000 camels by 200,000 dealers. We all unpack at our camp identified as unique Adventures. Our spartan tents didn't en suite baths but bathroom paper has been in a top. That has been a 2-4 hour shield out who stingily rationed his or her quota. From the summer, nighttime is freezing and afternoons sweltering. I confided into some guests in your American Embassy I felt as though that I had been at an episode of"Survivor." She whined reassuring me it had been worth every penny. So on my jolt turns out into amazement since I input fairgrounds.

Place on kilometers of sand slopes using festooned camels plus also a flood of pilgrims, the spectacle appears utterly forgettable. It's such as a Condition Fair On-steroids. That clearly was really a flurry of horse, bullock and camel races, competitions such as milking, creature adorning, turban linking, tattooing in addition to snake-charmers, completely free carnival rides, mystics, astrologers and magnificent booths of handicrafts at reasonable rates. The earth reverberates using pursuits. Countless Rajasthani lady has came dressed up in their very best apparel in close sweet colors. I see illuminated monkeys, painted cows, and cobra's dancing. No words could adequately clarify this helter-skelter overwhelms my 5 perceptions. The others could possess Europe having its own cathedrals and museums. As an example personally, this really exotic vulnerability and ethnic immersion would be your best traveling!

Wrapped in the dust, and people come back. Every single night there's entertainment underneath the celebrities together with musicians, folk dancers, puppet present or flame fighters. No alcoholic beverages are authorized and all foods are vegetarian buffets. An Ayurveda middle delivers us treatment options to cleansing toxins. We reduce these induced throwing up, enemas, nasal drainage along with blood-letting.

We see the sacred town of Pushkar having its own sacred lake made by Lord Brahma. Pilgrims appear from afar to wash at the ghats and snore round-the-clock. We know about religions: Zorastrism,'' Sikhism, the mysterious Sufi's, Jainists who won't eliminate a mosquito, Hinduism that asserts no total accuracy and also the caste system. We see temples in the lake; a few really are"blessed" by priests. Later on, a highlight for me personally was 1 hour Camel Cart Safari supporting the scenes of this honest. Kiddies line our path yelling to us"Hello, 1 pencil remember to!" We view a slaughtered and half of nude folks washing daily. Straight back within the reasons we see an orphanage and scatter separately for lost from the frenzied revelry. We trip enormous spitting camels offering us an increased view of this all. I buy twelve garnet silver and necklaces ankle bracelets. Teen boys tactic Terry to picture him. He has 6'5'". One as him"Sir, what would you consume?"

Anime of the Decade - 2010

So today is December 27, 2019... 4 days before the new year and a new decade. Before the Winter 2020 season starts and I try to get into whatever standard flow I want to start, I figured that now would be a great time to look back over the last decade and pick out my favorite anime. 

So this is part 1, I’m going to go through LiveChart.me and look at each of the seasons for the last 10 years. From all these shows I’ll list out the ones I’ve watched that I consider the best of the year, and then will choose a winner. After all 10 parts I will then select my favorite from all those for my anime of the decade. Will I feel like I’m killing my own child? Most definitely. I’m not really looking forward to that lol. 

Disclaimer! I have not seen every anime, therefore my picks can only be from those that I have seen. I didn’t start actively watching seasonally until mid-decade, so these early years may be a bit sparse. 

Winter:

Durarara!! - Haven’t finished but loved what I did see. 

Ladies Versus Butlers! -  Good ecchi

Seikon no Qwaser -This fucking show lol. Great tiddy sucking

Spring:

Nothing

Summer:

Sekirei: Pure Engagement - Actually really good ecchi series

Seitokai Yakuindomo - Raunchy comedy and the raunch is from the girls! Such a nice refreshing take. 

Fall:

Heaven’s Lost Property: Forte (S2) - This show is fantastic and is a benchmark for what ecchi shows should aim to be. 

MM! - Ecchi/Harem/Slice of Life. Damn, I really enjoyed this series. 

I haven’t finished Durarara, so it’s off the list. All that’s left is ecchi shows. Heaven’s Lost Property is great, but I liked the first season better. MM! is better than LVB, SnQ is so ridiculous I don’t think I can include it lol. 

Honestly, I’m going with Sekirei. It’s a very good example of an ecchi series and this first season was quite good. This image really encapsulates what Sekirei is all about.

12 Most Spiritual Places of the World

By The Alchemist

There is nothing more magical than a journey to a spiritual destination. Although, any traveling experience is in fact spiritual, there are some places where energy can literally change us, uplift our soul and heal us from inside. These are the most spiritual places where priests and sorcerers from another age, used to gather up and honor nature. These are also portals to other Realms, where other entities – of higher frequency – dwell.

Which are the Most Spiritual Places of the World?

1. Delos, Greece

It could be referred to as the Avalon of the South. The energy of this sacred island is so amazing, one who is sensitive enough, will begin to feel long before you reach the destination. It is located close to one of the most popular and cosmopolitan islands of the World, Mykonos.

Delos, Temple of Isis, Greece

Delos is the Birthplace of the Gods of Magic and Prophecy, Apollo and Artemis. Apollo is the god of Sun and Artemis, the Goddess of the Moon. It is no coincidence, that the sunlight in Delos, is the most intense, compared to ANYWHERE around the globe. Scientists believe that this happens due to the ground’s texture which actually mirrors the light. Walk towards the sacred lake, and you will feel the most magical energy, running in your blood. You will radiate magic instantly!

Delos is a Portal to the Realm of the Sun and the Moon.

2. Petra, Jordan

Even looking at this special place, brings up memories from Indiana Jones and the search for the truth. Petra was initially known as Raqmu and is located in the Southern Jordan. UNESCO has declared it as “one of the most precious cultural properties of man’s cultural heritage”. Petra is a symbol of the country, as well as one of the most-visited tourist attractions of the Middle East.

The Valley which leads to the breath-taking Stone City, is called the Valley of Moses. Petra holds several temples of native deities, which were (later) been demonized – and associated with Fallen Angels. However, the mystery of Petra, pushes us to search for the Truth.

Petra is considered to be a portal of Magical Power and Sorcery. Of course, great magical power also attracts parasites and mischievous creatures. Unfortunately, Petra is also considered a place where djinns (demonic entities which trick humans) dwell, waiting for their human victims. So put up your Shields of Light and travel to Petra to discover their magic.

3. Samothrace, Greece

Imagine an island full of ancient mysteries and breath-taking waterfalls. Samothrace, is an island in Northern Greece, where the ancient ‘Kawirian’ mysteries took place. No one actually know what happened there, but they say that once you’ve attended Kawirian mysteries, you’ve been given a ring, which would grant you power over the sea. Olympias, mother of Alexander the Great, the great priestess of Ancient Greece (also called as Witch), participated there (probably as Priestess of Artemis, goddess of the Moon).

Samothrace, Temple of the Great Gods

The air is so thick, you can actually taste the mystery. Still, many rituals take place by modern pagan. Most Rituals are associated with the Earth and the Water. If you are adventurous enough you have to visit Samothrace.

Samothrace, is a portal to the Underworld and the Witches of the Earth and Water. The Spirits which dwell there, although good in nature, need proper respect.

4. Karnak, Egypt

Karnak is a great complex of Temples, mostly built to honor the Theban Triad of Egyptian Gods, Ra, Mut and their son Khonsu. The area around Karnak was the ancient Egyptian Ipet-isut – The Most Selected of Places.

It is a vast area, close to Luxor, where the primordial forces of Light and Darkness dwell. Here, you will feel where it all begun, you will feel reborn again. The Old Gods of Sunlight, Earth, Primordial Waters and the Moonlight, a holy triad.

Karnak is a Portal to time. You travel to be reborn.

5. Ulan-Bataar, Mongolia

One of the most spiritual places of the World are located near the capital of Mongolia, Ulan-Bator. Although many of the temples were destroyed during the communist purge of temples, many of the spiritual sites still exist, radiating balance and energy. This is a place where Shamanism and Buddhism co-exist in such a wonderful way.

One of Mongolia’s most important monasteries and one of its biggest tourist attractions, is Gandan Khiid – the place of complete joy. Traveling to the nearby temples will help you nourish your soul and heal your wounds. Although you may feel you’ve come too far, you will also feel free, like a soul.

Near Ulan-Bataar you will feel connected with the forces of the Mother Nature.

6. Kyoto, Japan

Kyoto is a rather big city located in the central part of the island of Honshu. It was the imperial capital of Japan (which was later moved to Tokyo). Kyoto is located in a valley, around an astonishing mountainous region known as the Tamba highlands.

Kyoto Temple, Japan

Visiting Kyoto’s temples is a unique experience. Shinto, the native religion, is actually a practice which deliberately connects us with the spirits of nature. This procedure brings balance and power in our body. You will notice temples of the ‘guardians’ of the Quarters (the Phoenix, the Azure Dragon, the white Tiger and the black Tortoise).

In Kyoto, you can actually connect with each element by visiting each temple of the Guardians of the four Quarters.

7. Ephesus, Turkey

An ancient Greek city which is rumored to be the centre of the most powerful Witchcraft, the world has ever seen. Ancient Priestesses of Ephesus, were believed to be so powerful, that they could actually ‘draw down the Moon’, making it disappear from the skies.

This powerful procedure (here you will find a way to call down the Moon) was known only to the Priestesses of Artemis, goddess of the Moon. The Magic around this place is so powerful that you are instantly enchanted.

Ephesus, is a portal for the Realm of the Moon, and a powerful site of Witchcraft.

8. Bohonagh, Ireland

The Bohonagh is a Bronze Age, sacred Stone Circle, in the Cork Region. Every Winter Solstice, many believers and modern druids assemble to witness the Sun rising over the Atlantic, shedding sunlight through the portal stones, across the circle to the Sunrise Keystone.

Stone Circle at Drombeg, County Cork, Ireland

According to traditional Irish folklore, places like this along with ‘fairy forts’ were believed to be inhabited by the Fair People – the Fairies. These nature spirits are extremely powerful and curse humans who don’t show the proper respect. Visiting these stone circles in Ireland will get you closer to the search for Fairies.

Bohonagh, is a portal to the Fairy World. Show the proper respect to the fairies.

9. Machu Picchu, Peru

Also (probably mistakenly) known as the Lost City of Incas, this place is a portal for the Soul. It is located in the Cusco Region, above the Sacred Valley. In Machu Picchu, you will discover a vast area of complex temples, built to honor old gods and forces of nature. Although much discussion is held about human sacrifices, most probably, other kinds of libations took place – at least more often.

In Machu Picchu you will feel you soul like an eagle flying high, ready to explore the world, once again. You will also feel that you descend from a higher power. If you have the luxury to be accompanied by shamans, this is a magical place, to discover other realms.

Machu Picchu is a portal for the Astral Realm

10. Annamalaiyar Temple, India

Annamalaiyar Temple is an Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, located at the base of Arunachala hill in the town of Thiruvannamalai in Tamil Nadu, India. Mount Arunachala is called the “most silent place on earth”. In this amazing temple, Lord Shiva is worshipped as the Element of Fire.

People around the Globe travel to this outwordly temple to find their inner spark, the source of true inspiration and enlightenment. It is an amazing place to meditate and search for the ultimate force in you. On of the most spiritual places of the World.

Annamalaiyar Temple is a portal for true enlightenment.

11. Mount, China

Tai Shan is considered a deity itself and has been worshipped by the Chinese as their most sacred peak for thousands of years. It is one of five sacred Taoist mountains in China and for a reason.

Exploring the sacred sites of Mount Tai Shan is able to bring balance in your heart and help you explore your truest potential. Mount Tai Shan, is actually a the Son of Heaven’s lord. Just being on this mountain, is believed to instantly connect you with the Divine Forces. Hence, traveling to Mount Tai Shan, is actually the most spiritual destination of all, as you connect with God Himself. Blessings are so intense, that rumors say for those who travel to the top of the mountain, that they will live one hundred years!

Mount Tai Shan is a portal for the Cosmic Energy and a place for healing and transformation.  

12. Your Mind, The Cosmos.

No matter where you are or your ability to travel, one of the most spiritual places of the World is always a breath away.  Your Mind is all the World. In it, all spiritual places of the World lie.

Your Mind is so powerful that you can spiritually ‘travel’ to any place you feel your energy uplifted. Moreover, if you practice Astral Projection, you can actually be in any place you like, instantly and capable to see and interact with the entities which dwell in sacred sites.

Hulu New Releases: November 2020

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

All streaming services go through a down period after the excitement of Spooky Season, it’s only natural. Thankfully with its list of new releases for November 2020, Hulu is making the best out of a barren pop culture landscape.

For starters, Hulu is premiering one of its major 2020 reboots this month as Animaniacs arrives on Nov. 20. Yakko, Wakko, Dot, and the rest of the Warner gang are set to return for this long-awaited revival of the animated classic. That’s about it as far as original series go but Hulu is also premiering original movies Greta, about climate activist Greta Thunberg on Nov. 13; and Run, a horror film starring Sarah Paulson, on Nov. 20.

Still, despite all the Animaniacs, Gretas, and Sarah Paulsons, the biggest hits this month might just be on the library content side of things. November 1 sees the arrival of some major TV properties. For starters, racy British teen show Skins will be made available in its entirety on the first of the month. So too will Rick and Morty season 4 arrive on that date. And those hits will be followed by Killing Eve season 3 on Nov. 6.

If there ever were a time to do some serious streaming, it’s November 2020 on Hulu.

The Search (16/16)

Disclaimer: Red vs Blue and related characters are the property of Rooster Teeth. Warnings: Language, Canon-typical violence, Psychological manipulation and trauma Rating: T Synopsis: [Canon Divergence - Alternate S15] The Reds and Blues saved Chorus, but it has been a year and they are still missing. A motley crew has been gathered with the common goal of finding the war heroes, though the road is more troubled than anyone seems to realize.

A/N: Another year, another season of RvB long, long out pacing my writing of an alternate universe. And the more that my worldbuilding skills get a bit of a kick in the shins. Hopefully, you all enjoyed this installment because I absolutely loved and appreciated hearing from you all throughout the publication of this fic. 

Thank you all so much for the support, the patience, and just in general the fun. 

Special thanks to @secretlystephaniebrown, Yin, Lardo137, and # for the comments and feedback!

When Will It End?

She wasn’t expecting company. At least, that was what she told herself as she sat on the ledge, staring at the small projection before her. With her helmet on her lap, the AI’s form was lower than his usual eye level, but it felt, somehow, more personable that way. She could almost drown out the words that Epsilon was saying and pretend that it was in real time. Not frozen forever in a message she had purposefully neglected to open for so long.

Carolina told herself she hadn’t been expecting company, because she almost never allowed her emotions to be worn so clearly on her sleeves. She almost never let the stray tears fall from her cheeks without recourse.

Truthfully, she had desperately wanted to be found before she got to that point. But she hadn’t, so she let the tears and emotions come as she finally listened to the brother she hardly knew’s words.

His last words. For her.

“Closure kinda sucks, because that means things are over. And, well, if you’re anything like me — and we both know, you kinda are — you’re really really bad at admitting when things are actually over, Cee. Over — closure — it’s like the end of a whole world. I should know. I spent a few months inside my own brain ending a few of them. Long story. I probably told you at least twice about it, probably on a long night where neither of us could go to sleep. Let’s just say, a memory file degrades just like a memory memory over time.

“And… I didn’t want to admit it. That it was over. That we would eventually be over. But sometimes life sucking fucks, and you don’t get to make those calls before it’s too late. And I’m… still a memory. Good or bad one, I don’t know. I don’t know how you tell which kind of memory you are. I just know that I was happy to be a memory with you, with the Reds and Blues and Wash and… Well, especially you. My time was kind of short. But, hell, aren’t all memories?

“I just knew… I had to have an ending sooner rather than later, whether I wanted it or not, so I tried… I tried to make it count. I hope it did. No. I know it did. I have faith that it did. That’s the reason I’m making these final files. Sending them out. Having faith that you’ll have another day where you can see it for yourself. Final sacrifice and what not. Heh. Who would have guessed it from a selfish prick like me?

“I guess… I guess at the end of the day, maybe you did. I know it sucks. I know it’s going to hurt. And I hate it because, well, we know each other, Cee. You’re…. you’ve inherited the stubbornness that makes an ending hurt for a good, long while. I’m sorry about that.

“You don’t like goodbyes. You don’t like endings. But I was there, I saw when you sought one out for you and York. I know it hurt when you realized you didn’t have it. Not really. So I’m giving you one. I’m giving you an ending to this. Us… If there’s some kind of digital heaven… or, well, realistically a digital Hell, I know I’ll miss you. But giving you an ending means something beautiful, something I didn’t learn for so long. Ending one chapter can take you to the next one. And, Sis, you deserve a new chapter. You’re a hero. You saved a planet. If that doesn’t get some red off your ledger, fuck the ledger.

“I love you. But, I bet you already knew that. You, and the others, are the greatest family someone could ever have. And I’m honored to always be in your memories.”

Squeezing her eyes shut, Carolina pinched the bridge of her nose and let out a long, breathy exhale she had been keeping in her lungs. She was still making no effort to hide her tears, even when she new that her wish had finally, belatedly, been answered and someone was standing on the roof behind her.

Washington was hesitant, or perhaps just respectfully distant, before he slowly came around to her side. He lowered himself to sit beside Carolina and remained somber and silent for the majority of it all.

Carolina continued to sob, because the words were the most true things she had ever heard. She didn’t want things to be over. She had spent the better part of a year searching for anything but the ending or closure to their journey. She was waiting, anxiously, to lead everyone around her right back into the loops they all had been stuck in for years.

Epsilon over her shoulder, guiding the way.

Which meant there was no reason for her to listen to his last message to her. Because it wouldn’t have been.

But the search was done, the living had been found, and what was left for Carolina was an ending she hadn’t asked for, hadn’t wanted.

And very few proper people to punch left for her.

“I thought it wasn’t over… I thought… To me, it wasn’t over. It wasn’t for the longest time, and that… that was what I wanted,” Carolina admitted to Washington without prompting. “Is this how…. This shouldn’t be how it feels. The end. I’d rather not feel it at all.”

Wash quietly wrapped one arm around Carolina’s shoulders and held her close as she continued her babbling. There weren’t any comments, but then again, after nearly a year of him trying to warn her of what finding answers might mean, maybe he just didn’t have any left to share.

Carolina leaned into the half hug and inhaled sharply again, not yet over the weirdness of having her emotions so naked and revealing to anyone around her.

But, she supposed, if it was around anyone, she was glad it was with Wash. Even if that was selfish, even if she knew, deep down, that the relationship he shared with Epsilon was far more nuanced and dark and hurtful than her own.

He still didn’t say anything on it. At least not in that way.

Instead, Washington waited until the worst of Carolina’s tears were dried, just rubbing and squeezing her shoulder from time to time.

“I’m such an idiot,” Carolina growled at herself, unable to even look in Wash’s direction. “We… we saved them. We found them and saved… all of them. And I know more than anything else, that’s exactly what Epsilon would have wanted me to do. He practically told me to start a new chapter without him. But I… I still the whole time was thinking of finding him, too. I didn’t think that if we lost anyone… that if we lost anyone it would be him… God. I’m such an idiot. I’m such—“

“Missing people you love, no matter how long it feels like it’s been… it’s not something that makes you bad, let alone an idiot,” Washington assured her. “And it’s not like we knew for a year that we would find everyone but Epsilon. We…. well, we didn’t know who we’d find.”

“You knew,” Carolina reminded him darkly. “You tried to warn me—“

“I did’t know, Carolina. No one could have known,” Washington corrected her. “I wanted you to be… I don’t know. Ready for the possibility. I… I wanted us all to be ready — as much as any of us could have been — for learning the absolute worst. Because I knew I wasn’t going to be.”

Carolina looked at her oldest friend and watched the exhaustion in his eyes. It was like looking into a mirror.

“Thank you… for being the person we all needed at some time or another,” she thanked him softly.

“I try,” Wash half joked. “Though… Well, I wasn’t as close to Epsilon as the rest of you. So… I know I can’t really be the person you all need right now… But the one thing I can say for sure is that… you’re not the only one missing him. And, when you’re ready, I bet you’re not going to be the only one who needs to talk about it before completely starting a new chapter.”

Carolina nodded quietly. “Yeah. Yeah, you’re right. I should…” she stopped for a moment and looked back at him. “Do you really think it’s time for the new chapter? For a whole new story? I mean. We’re still outlaws. Chorus is still in rebellion against the UNSC. We still… y’know. Had a hand in the death of the Chairman.”

“It’s something to worry about later,” Washington assured her. “Right now? We worry about what matters — each other.”

“You know you’re my best friend, right?” Carolina asked.

“Emotional break through. I recorded it. You’ll never be able to take it back now,” Wash joked.

“I already take it back, that was a mistake, you’re just my subordinate,” Carolina teased back.

“Nope, I told you, no take backs,” Wash said before turning the side hug into a more proper embrace. “Thank you for being our pillar. We found everyone alive because of you and your perseverance.”

“Thank you for being my second in command. I didn’t strangle anyone on the team because of your intervention,” Carolina said back. “But you’re right. I do need to get down there and…. be there for the others. At least to talk.”

“Your forte,” Wash said seeping with sarcasm.

“Hey now,” Carolina warned. “I’ve not had as many chapters as you yet. Give me time to learn how to spend my time standing around talking and doing nothing. It takes practice.”

“Yeah it does,” Wash laughed, getting to his feet and offering Carolina a hand.

She took it and pulled herself up.

It hurt, the idea of closing on a hope, a dream. But her family — Epsilon, Wash, everyone — were right.

It was time to keep moving.

“And that concludes my report, Missus President.”

Dylan looked up from her laptop screen, ignoring the hum of the machines around her bed keeping her stable. Or the fact that they were living in the damn future in space and she still had to deal with the ridiculousness of patient gowns not really having a back of any sort.

Surely someone had had the time to develop some breakthrough in medical wardrobe.

But that was a report for another day.

At the foot of her bed was the large and imposing president of the Independent Planet of Chorus, former General Vanessa Kimball. And, at the moment, highly scrupulous protector of the Reds and Blues by her own account. For the time being, Dylan’s investigative instincts did not compel her to investigate otherwise.

“That’s what you’re thinking of submitting to your paper?” Kimball asked suspiciously. “An exposé with that amount of inflammatory content, particularly toward the UNSC and endangering relations with the Alien Covenant? Your editor won’t want you to lower the blast radius on that gun?”

Somewhat surprised, Dylan Andrews only blinked a few times before shaking her head definitively. “My editor? No, no. I’m afraid you misunderstand the situation. I took off on a long journey without any clearance or supervision, was spotted with and accused of being an accomplice to fugitives, and personally broke into several computer terminals that were probably not, legally speaking, clear for me to mess with. My career through Interstellar Daily is about as thoroughly fucked as it can be. I’m going to be posting this directly to my personal website and contact a few of my fellow reporters who would love to report on me reporting this. Taking the proverbial bullet as you will.”

Kimball was wearing a helmet but Dylan liked to think there an impressed look hiding behind the visor. Then again, pragmatically she knew better than to weave fiction with her reporting.

“You have already taken enough bullets for this story by almost any measure,” Kimball said flatly, head tilted slightly toward Dylan’s side that was still thoroughly bandaged and sore.

Almost instinctively, Dylan tenderly put her hand on her wound. “Well, true as that may be, I don’t believe things worth reporting don’t also come with some great amount of risk,” she replied. “I live for reporting these things. And punishing anything less than the truth would be unethical by my estimates.”

“Hm. With that kind of attitude, I have to wonder how tabloids get started,” Kimball hummed slightly.

“Same way freedom fighters can’t always weed out all of their anarchists,” Dylan answered. When Kimball didn’t immediately answer, the reporter began to squirm some in her bed, making her jerk at the pain of her side. “I was… ah, trying to say you and Chorus are the freedom fighters and the UNSC is wrong to label you as anarchists—“

“You didn’t appear to me to be particularly dull-witted, Miss Andrews. I assumed the best,” Kimball assured her.

“Oh! Well. Good. You should have… I just. Have a real difficult time reading people who are wearing full helmets,” Dylan admitted. “Which is… somewhat ironic considering my company for this excursion.”

“That is exactly why I make excuses for wearing a helmet as much as possible,” Kimball answered. “Now, your story more than has the support and approval of me and my people. I’d say with a quick proofread from either Agent Washington or Agent Carolina you would have the approval of the Reds and Blues as well. Then you could… well, publish it any way you decide to.”

“Great,” Dylan said, fingers tapping on the flat of the laptop, chewing on her lip. “I do need one favor from you if you don’t mind, though. I don’t think this story can really be over until I get it.”

“What’s that?” Kimball asked sternly.

“I need someone to wheel me into Siris’ room for an interview,” Dylan said. “He ties some pieces together I feel like we don’t have yet… and without them I don’t know how much outreach into the UNSC itself we’ll have.”

The request made Kimball visibly apprehensive, but it was an agreeable enough set of terms.

Before Dylan could fully process everything, two of Kimball’s guards were putting her in a wheelchair and pushing her down the hall toward the other recent patient of the ICU. Two other guards were posted at the door and seemed only convinced to move and let them in once they saw the President herself was with them.

“Mister Siris,” Dylan spoke up as they turned the corner into the room. “I have some questions for you about… your part in… all of this…”

It should have felt like more of a surprise to her when they turned the corner and saw the empty bed, bloody sheets dragging from the bed to the open window.

“What!?” Kimball screeched, turning around to face the guards who were rushing in. “Put the city on alert, make sure there is no one flying off the planet! The damn mercenary escaped! I refuse for Chorus to lose a single other life because of goddamn mercenaries!”

In the commotion, Dylan was left in her chair, looking out the window, fingers lightly curled over the keys of her keyboard in her lap.

During the chaos, she began to slowly stroke one key at a time.

The report is not yet over. Just like the dangers we all face. But, we can hope, that wherever we are left at the end of our journey, the truth is found along the way.

I'm not from America, so I don't know much about American history etc etc, do you mind explaining the controversy with the confederate flag and the history of it, - I obviously know how the flag is portrayed now and how many Americans believe it's a symbol of racism- but I don't know why (I tried googling it but Wikipedia wasn't working)

I’ll do my best! This is probably going to be loooooooooong!

Slavery was common in all 13 Colonies (Virginia, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maryland, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Carolina (which became North & South Carolina in 1729), New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, & Georgia).

However, due to geography & climate, slavery became rather ideal for cheap, lazy, Southern Colonies (plantation owners). Those Southern Colonies included Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, & Georgia. The crops they concentrated on were tobacco, cotton, sugar cane, rice, & indigo (a purple/blue dye).  

Abraham Lincoln was elected president on November 6, 1860 & sworn in as the 16th president of the United States of America on March 4, 1861. Shortly after his election, South Carolina secedes from the Union (Dec. 20, 1860) & within a couple of months, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas had done the same. On February 9, 1861 the Confederate States of America is established with Jefferson Davis as the president. The rest of the states to secede & become the Confederate States of America, (Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina), around April 17, 1861.

The Civil War began on April 12, 1861 with the Confederates attack on Fort Sumter in Charleston, South Carolina. Naturally, Lincoln calls for troops 3 days later & the war continues on as a blood-bath with many battles being won & lost on both sides. On January 1, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln established the Emancipation Proclamation. It changed the status of more than 3 million enslaved people of the South from slave to free. However, slavery wasn’t completely abolished until the ratification of the 13th Amendment of the Constitution on December 6, 1865. Before the end of the war, Abraham Lincoln was assassinated on April 14, 1865 & died the next day. Andrew Johnson then became president. By May, the remaining Confederate forces surrender thus the end of the war & the uniting of the Nation.

Motivations of secession vary depending who you ask & where you find your information. There was of course motivations due to the election of Lincoln, state-rights, & slavery. Note, that a big part of state rights dealt with the legal status of owning slaves. Much of the South’s economy came from the labor of slaves. When you don’t have to pay hundreds of workers a livable salary or anything at all, you have a substantial profit. The larger the plantation, the bigger the profit. There used to be laws that stated a person cannot be born into slavery, but that was revoked & suddenly plantation owners did not have to buy slaves, but instead, (I shudder as I write this), bred slaves. They found ways around every unneeded expense. When someone threatens your lively-hood & your income, there’s bound to be some anger. This is the biggest reason why I believe slavery was the number one reason why the south seceded from the north.

Throughout the Civil War the Confederacy had a few different flags (3), though the one that’s most popular today is the battle flag. It’s a portrayal of the Stainless Banner flag, which is the known battle flag on a white background. Here’s some things that were written about that flag, referring to the white background, “As a people we are fighting to maintain the Heaven-ordained supremacy of the white man over the inferior or colored race; a white flag would thus be emblematical of our cause.” - the Savannah Morning News editor William Tappan. He later described it as the “White Man’s Flag”. Yeah, that’s pretty racist. There’s also this notion that the battle flag resembles southern heritage. But you cannot neglect that slavery was so prominent & wanted in the south & therefore that’s apart of the heritage & history of the south. You cannot have one but not the other.

The battle flag was also adopted as a symbol for the Dixiecrats in the 1940′s as a resistance to the federal government. They we’re a political devoted to maintaining segregation, which we know was based solely in racism. Some committed to the idea of white supremacy. Overall, the political party failed but not before it did some damage.

With the history of the flag & the people who represent it today, its doused in racism. Displaying the flag has been controversial due to the flag’s historical associations with treason, racism, slavery, segregation, and white supremacy. These things cannot just be ignored. You can’t reinvent a symbol that has stood for evil & has the historical properties that it does. People can scream till their blue in the face about how it’s not racist or a representation of treason, but it is exactly that. We’re called the United State of America for a reason, we have today’s flag because it represents the unity of this country. Now not everything is perfect here, but using this symbol of hate is pushing us further back in time rather than forward.

I couldn’t include every bit of history of the flag, but hopefully this clears up why people hate this flag & only view it as a symbol of racism. If you have any more questions definitely feel free to ask! (:
