“He Who Calls 2 : The Hooded Witch”

“Tell us a story” yelled the small child.

It was 1778 and the Witch by the name of Atunde River sat in the dark forrest with a bowl of water between her legs. They were running away from the evils of slavery.

Atunde had dark brown skin like a freshly aged oak tree. She was plus size and she had black dreads down to her knees. She was 26 years old and a leader of this escape. She was leading dozens to freedom just as she’d done before. She wore a long brown dress decorated with flowers and her eyes were a dark brown.

“Quiet” Atunde muttered.

The three small children sat around her.

“So you want a story,” said Atunde “stare into the bowl”.

“Why” asked Nasir.

“To see the story of course” said Atunde as she closed her eyes “ you have to stare into the bowl. This is a story of a witch in a time far from here. A witch named ‘The Hooded Witch’ “.

The date was February 3rd 2021. The Philadelphia Police surrounded City Hall with their squad cars, guns drawn and spotlights flashed on the building. They yelled through a speaker as Bryan stood in the Attorney General’s office. Gun drawn to his head.

Bryan was a 6 ft Black man and he stood there sweating as lights flashed through the window.

“Tell them I didn’t do it” said Bryan

“Bryan I-“ began the Attorney General

“Tell them I didn’t kill that cop. He attacked us! It wasn’t me.”

“Bryan if you put the gun down we can talk about reduced charges” said the general.

“Fuck that!” Bryan said waving the gun in his face.

The secretary sat on the floor and she screamed with every wave.

“Shutup!” Screamed Bryan.

The door was shut and locked but suddenly a noise was heard from the other side.

“I ordered everybody out who the fuck is that?” Said Bryan.

“I don’t know” yelled the Attorney General.

The steel lock above the door knob began to glow a bright gold. So dark it was almost white and the lock gave off this color as it turned.

“I’ll shoot” yelled Bryan.

The turning stopped. And the door flew opened.

The secretary screamed. The attorney general was pushed to the floor. And Bryan stood there gun drawn.

In the hall stood a tall figure standing 6’4. He wore a long black jacket that hung above his feet, a a black bullet proof vest with dark blue horizontal plates, black boots and a hood pulled up over his head. A dark blue mask covered his nose down to his chin and all that could be seen was this light brown skin mans chestnut eyes. Head and chest high he stood there ready as Bryan whispered “The Hooded Witch”.

“Quite a mess” muttered the Hooded Witch.

“Don’t fucking move sissy” said Bryan as he waved the gun.

“Grandma what big mouth you have” hissed The Hooded Witch as he turned to the Attorney General and muttered “sleep”. The attorney general was halfway crawling to his desk when he collapsed and fell asleep.

“Why’d you do that?!” Yelled Bryan in a panic.

“He has a magnum in his desk. He was going to decorate the walls with the little brains that you do have. Now stop.“

Bryan froze unable to move only breath. The Hooded Witch got close and knocked the gun from his hand and grabbed him by the shirt as he pulled him along.

The secretary screamed and The Hooded Witch said softly “breath slowly”. She stopped screaming and calmly said “I’m breathing”.

The Hooded Witch laughed and walked out as he pulled Bryan along. The Hooded Witch pulled him down the empty halls of the city hall office building and he turned the corner to the exit and there stood 5 police officers guns drawn.

“Fuck” The Hooded Witch turned around as the police ordered him to come back in disillusioned yells.

The Hooded Witch walked calmly almost as if he was on a runway. “Its ok” The Hooded Witch muttered to Bryan “I like pigs in a blanket”. The Witch pulled out a vile filled with a clear potion and he smashed it on the ground. The puddle grew a yard in just a few seconds and as the police ran behind him and drew their guns the puddle sprung up from the ground into 5 different portions. It wrapped around each officer and became a hard puddy, throwing them across the office, some on the ceiling, others into the elevator. The Hooded Witch smiled and dragged Bryan to another exit. All you could hear were the yells of police as The Hooded Witch dragged Bryan along. Bryan in a daze.

The Hooded Witch kicked open the stair well door and there stood 12 police and they opened fire immediately.

The bullets stopped immediately in mid air and began to circulate around The Hooded Witch as if he was the sun.

The Hooded Witch walked away and pulled Bryan. The bullets continued to revolve around them as the police followed and shot. One officer grabbed The Hooded Witch by the shoulder and he grabbed the officers wrist and spun breaking it. He then sent his palm into the chest of another officer simultaneously using his power of heart stimulation sending a shock that threw him a yard off his feet. He ducked a kick from another officer and rose to give a round house kick that sent him slamming through a glass door. The Hooded Witch threw the long bottom of his jacket behind him as he turned around and grabbed Bryan. He grabbed him as the bullets circulated, and they slowly began to buzz and slowly became black and yellow as they turned into Bees. The bees surrounded The Hooded Witch as he approached a office door and kicked it open. Before walking in The Hooded Witch muttered “Kolu” which was Yoruba for “attack”.

The bees that were once bullets surrounded the officers and stung. They sprang shots that then because more bees and attacked even more. Over a hundred bees stinging at them.

The Hooded Witch closed the door and locked it. “Be with me” said the Witch to Bryan. Bryan snapped out of it and backed up yelling “what did you do”.

“I saved you” said The Hooded Witch, he then grabbed Bryan and walked directly through the wall to Bryan’s surprise. They were now on a train platform at the 13th and market station.

Bryan yelled and backed away.

“So lets talk Bryan. I know you didn’t kill that cop. And I know you plan to skip town. In your pocket is a new ID and enough cash to start over.”

“Why are you doing this?” Asked Bryan.

“I help you. You help me. Before you go you’re going to tell me where they’re keeping the women being held against their will. The motels keep changing but I want to know where they are.”

“And if I don’t tell you?” Asked Bryan

“You’ll find out why the scariest people in this city whisper my name. Now tell me. Or you’ll be under this train and not on it.”

Bryan gulped.

“So, where are they?”

“Wow” said Nasir as he looked away from the water.

“Ms.River he’s like you” said Bryanna as she sat on a log swinging her feet.

“He beat that slave patrol like” started MBaku as he stood up and kicked and threw his fist.

“Be quiet” said Atunde in a whisper as she held her laugh “he is indeed powerful. But a Witch in love is a Witch with a weakness”.

They all stared into the bowl as they continued to watch.

The date was February 14th 2021. It was a bright warm night in a beautiful 5 star restaurant in center city. Caleb sat at the table with his fiancé Demarcus. He wore a dark blue turtle neck with black sacks and pointy black dress shoes. Demarcus wore a light gray suit with a dark gray tie that Caleb picked out himself. Caleb ate his crab soup as he listened to Demarcus rave about his case.

“I’ve been calling you all afternoon to talk about this” said Demarcus.

“Yea I was at the gym sorry,” said Caleb.

“You’re taking this pilates class pretty serious” said Demarcus.

Caleb smiled, he was really spending the last 6 months at a Dojo in south Philly learning Martial Arts.

“So I won the case with barely any fight. Its like I was that good or they weren’t even trying” said Demarcus.

“I think you’re that good” said Caleb smiling.

“Of course you do” said Demarcus smiling back.

“So I need your help with the Fishville slasher case “ said Demarcus.

“I told you I’m off that case,” said Caleb “I just don’t feel comfortable with it ok?”

“Babe” began Demarcus “this shit is weird. You’re the King of weird.”

“Wow my desire to sleep with you ever again has died” said Caleb putting down his spoon.

“Look at you on the downside again” said Demarcus laughing “no I meant you’re good at weird cases. Think about it. A man walks into a police station and confesses to a string of murders. He can’t remember anything about the last 72 hours other than the fact that he confronted someone that he calls ‘ The Hooded Witch’ “. The police search his home and find nothing. No weapons, no evidence, nothing. We don’t even know if he’s the real slasher.“

“Of course we do,” said Caleb.

“Oh are you trusting this Hooded Witch guy?” Asked Demarcus.

“Who says they’re a guy” says Caleb.

“Sorry babe” Demarcus says quietly.

“And I’m just saying they’ve done good. They freed those girls from that Motel last week and they captured The Jester. The police couldn’t even do that. Anthony Kale killed 32 people.”

Demarcus stares into space.

“I hate when you do that,” says Caleb.

“No I was just thinking how The Jester lost all his memory as well. All he could remember was the ‘Hooded Witch’ “.

“Well what are you going to do,” said Caleb changing the subject.

“I’m going to get him out.” said Demarcus.

“What?” Asked Caleb.

“The police didn’t find sufficient evidence. Mr. Bestwell has a history of mental illness and his confession wasn’t properly recorded. I can get him out easily.”

“Please don’t” begged Caleb “ you are possibly freeing a murderer?”

“And you want me to send a man to prison who we aren’t certain is a killer” spat Demarcus “I thought you were against things like that?”

“Demarcus,” said Caleb sternly “you can’t help free him. He confessed and the murders stopped what more do we need? Please just trust me.”

“…Okay” said Demarcus “I won’t. I’ll let them give him 40-50 years.”

“Good,” said Caleb “so its settled. You’ll thank me later. You don’t want to be known as the guy who got the fishville slasher out of prison.”

“Right” said Demarcus as he forced a smile.

The children looked away from the water.

“And what happened next Ms. Atunde?” Asked Nasir.

“The man with the knives stayed imprisoned. But Demarcus resented Caleb.”

“Why?” Asked Bryanna.

“Well,” began Atunde “Demarcus was more concerned with fame and prosperity. And he lost a case he could’ve easily won. So one day. He disappeared. No warning, he just left. After this Caleb broke down. His powers became unstable. And he hurt those close to him.”

“How” asked Bryanna.

“He was filled with rage, and he began to perform dark magics “ began Atunde “and his friend Tatianna grew concerned. Her grandmother and her coven attempted to bind The Hooded Witches powers. And he called the darkest most unnatural storm with vibrant unnatural lightning and razor sharp winds. He nearly killed them. After being disowned by Tatianna he willingly bound his powers and left them with the grandmother.”

“Whoa” said MBaku “and what happened after?”

“Caleb disappeared” said Atunde “look into the water.”

The date was June 28th 2021. Caleb sat on his car, a 78 blue corvette and he stared into the sunset. He was in a town just outside of Las Vegas. He was pulled over on the side of the road. He wore a white tank top, black jeans and black boots with studded heels. He watched as the sun left them again. He loved the orange sky and he loved watching the sun leave. One of the few joys that he still had.

“Thanks come again” said Caleb as he stood behind the counter of the small gas station. Customer after customer.

“You going to smile?” Asked Kya as she got to the counter. Kya was six feet, dark brown skin and she had long black braids down to her butt. She had several piercings in each of her ears and it was safe to say she was gorgeous.

“No, but I will tell you to grab one more “Caleb said pointing to her shampoo as he chewed his gum “buy one get one free.”

“See that’s why I like you” said Kya going to grab another bottle and putting it on the counter “you look out.”

“I guess I do, “said Caleb ringing her out and bagging her things.

“Look” said Kya “me and my girls are going to this club on the strip. Its called Elite Experience. Its for Black Queens like you and Black girls LIKE ME” said Kya alluding to being Trans “you should meet us there.”

“I work until 1am” said Caleb.

“The world is meant to be lived in, work will always be calling“ said Kya.

“Im good,” said Caleb.

“Okay” Kya said as she grabbed her receipt.

Caleb watched her leave as he thought.

“Stare into the water” said Atunde “this is when it gets good.”

Caleb walked into the club. Wearing a black hooded top with studs down the sides and the same Black pants and boots from his shift. He didn’t have much time to change.

“Mmm hey” said a white man as he approached Caleb “ drink?”

“No,” said Caleb as he walked passed him.

“Caleb?!” Said Kya as she waved him over to her private table in VIP.

“Hi,” said Caleb as he sat.

“Is he not your type” asked Kya.

“Hes really not” said Caleb.

“What is your type?” Asked Kya.

“Uh,” began Caleb “ tall, Black, dark hair, nice eyes” Caleb realized he was describing Demarcus and stopped.

“Its that bad huh babe?” said Kya as she sat there in a tan tube top, her hair pulled up in a high pony tail as she sat in her black skin tight jeans “do you want to talk about it?”

“No,” said Caleb “well maybe. How-… how do you know if you aint shit?”

Kya laughs as Caleb stares.

“Aint shit motherfuckers don’t reflect they protect their ego. Whoever it is .. aint worth your peace.”

“Wow,” said Caleb “Thats poetic I give you that. So whats your story? Lets invade your space”

“Ok well I’ve lived here 6 months” said Kya “I moved to LA from Brooklyn to pursue modeling. Fell in love with a dude in Vegas. Moved here. He wasn’t who he said he was so I left. So a girl bartends to make it now.I mean Im only 25 so Im not tripping. But I won’t lie sometimes surviving alone is a fucking horror movie.”

“Tell me about it,” said Caleb “ I’ve been here for about 3 months. I wanted something new. Im from Philly by the way were practically neighbors”

“Were nothing alike” spat Kya as they both laughed.

“Shade” said Caleb.

“See a smile” Kya said as Caleb rolled his eyes laughing.

Kya looked at her phone and said “Im meeting a friend outside do you mind waiting here?”

“Want me to come?” Asked Caleb

“No but watch my purse I’ll only be a second” said Kya as she tucked her phone into her purse and strutted away.

“Ok Ill be right here” said Caleb excited to have met a friend.

Caleb sat there as he waited. Thirty minutes passed now and he grabbed Kya’s purse as he stood up, ready to investigate.

“Caleb?” Said a voice behind him. Caleb turned and it was his old boss Evelyn.

“Evelyn hi, “ said Caleb “um what are you doing here?”

“Oh Im here for a wedding, a couple of the guys came here. My its been what 3 or 4 months?”

“Yeah…” said Caleb”

“So you ever figure out where Demarcus went? I just want to say it was terrible how he left you and well us. He left his friends to break it to you. And the spat you two had online it was just..”

“Yea I don’t know” Caleb stated “I mean he practices law in England or something now. I don’t really want to talk about him.”

“Its ok” finished Evelyn “I just want to say a guy who looked like him wasn’t truth worthy anyway. I mean why would he be with you? “

Caleb stared.

“Im sorry,” said Evelyn as she laughed “Ive been drinking.”

“And unfortunately I haven’t” started Caleb “look Evelyn. I don’t work for you anymore so I don’t have to pretend. You’re as tart as your Christmas cookies which really shouldn’t be complicated. But you’re as complicated as that $3 drink that couldn’t put a fly on its ass. Now look, I don’t like you, I don’t wish to engage with you and more importantly I have nothing to prove. I wish Demarcus well but we were equals. Him looking better in your eyes or anyone else’s doesn’t change that. Now excuse me,” said Caleb as he walked away and stormed back to say “and expect an anonymous report very soon. I think the Smith’s would like to know that their lawyers have discussed very private information with rival investors. Now Sip on that in your fake Louis, those tilted ass kitten heels and that brass fake ass gold bracelet. Goodbye.”

Caleb stormed out.

“And that’s why I gave him a good reference,” said Evelyn to herself “…I knew this bracelet was fake”

Caleb searched outside the club and the strip for 3 hours. No sign of Kya. He even call Vegas police who were no help. No one cared but Caleb.

It was now the next day. “Tell Mark I won’t be in today” said Caleb as he sat on the hood of his car watching another sunset in the desert. He wore a Formation World Tour tank top, ripped stone washed jeans and white tennis shoes. Kya had been missing for a day and he was determined to find out what happened.

Two white men and one white woman stood over Kya as she laid barely conscious tied to a steel slab in their living room. They stayed in a expensive home by the beach. Each window tinted in the dark luxurious home.

“I need to feed” said the woman vampire Alexandria.

“Go” said Leonardus the lead vampire as Ryan stared on, rashes formed around their mouths as they usually did when it was time to feed.

Alexandria grabbed Kya by the throat and stood over her as she sucked her essence. Kya suffocated and veins filled her neck. Her essence was invisible but slowly left her and filled Alexandria as the rash around her mouth vanished.

“Not too much” said Leonardus” we need her to last another day. “

Kya cried as she muttered “help”.

“Ok think Caleb” said Caleb as he went through her purse that was on the hood of his car. He couldn’t unlock her phone but he saw that her last text was from a man named Leon. Caleb went through her purse and found a card for a place called “Leon Enterprises. He was on the right track.

“Vampires?!” Said Nasir as he and the other kids stared away from the water.

“Vampires,” whispered Atunde “the kind that live long and suck your life force. Caleb was smart. He studied and found that Black women all across the land were disappearing and turning up drained to death. But Caleb was able to link Leonardus to one other incident. And upon learning that he was dealing with vampires The Hooded Witch was ready to fight.”

“Without Magic?” Asked Bryanna

“Stare into the water,” said Atunde.

The date was June 30th 2021. Caleb walked around the beach house. It was 6:00pm and almost sunset. The street was quiet , and he finally found the house that he’d looked up online. The only house he could find that was linked to a man named Leonardus Hines. And Caleb noticed that all of the windows were tinted. “Could it be anymore obvious” Caleb muttered.

Kya laid on the steel slab as the three vampires stood around her. All of their eyes were red with veins and bright red rashes surrounded their mouths and chins.

“This is the last of her” says Leonardus “so eat wisely”.

“Please” begged Kya “don’t. Please. If you let me go I won’t say a thing.”

“But who could you tell,” says Leonardus “we chose you because no one cares about you.”

“I do, “ says Caleb as he walked into the room “and for a man 300 years old you sure have a cold heart.”

Leonardus growled.

“Maybe I’ll put a stake through it” said Caleb puling out a stake that he carved.

“Caleb” muttered Kya with a smile.

Alexandria charged at Caleb and he kicked a foot stool at her knocking her over. Ryan charged at him at twice the speed of a human and Caleb bashed a vile of pure garlic on his face. He collapsed holding his melting face.

Leonardus appeared to the right of Caleb almost out of no where and he pushed him clean into the air on the other side of the room. Caleb held his side as he laid there. He got up and charged at Leonardus and attempted to stab him with the stake, he ducked with ease, then he ducked a punch and grabbed Caleb’s foot as he attempted a kick and he flipped him into the air. Caleb lied beside Kya on the ground.

“Witches are intuitive” said Leonardus “strong for humans. It makes you good fighters. But better for food.”

Caleb stood up and he held his side. He knew his last attempt was a spell, if he had enough magic to do so.

“Thin as air,clear as water, now be seen, in this order. Thin as air, clear as water, be transparent, in this order.”

Leonardus laughed as he stood there.

“Im too old for your magics” said Leonardus.

“Your windows look pretty new,” said Caleb as the tinted windows began to lose its tint as if it were dirty with fog and now being cleaned. The windows became clear and the sunlight shined through.

Alexandria now near the door escaped wisely. As the sun shined down Ryan and Leonardus turned to a ball of fire with their clothes and then into ash smoke that filled the air.

“Kya are you okay?” Said Caleb as he ran to her side to untie her.

“I am now” said Kya as she got off the slab with Caleb’s assistance “lets get out of here.”

“Agreed” said Caleb as they walked out of the vampires nest. Free.

“How did he have magic again?” Asked Bryanna as she broke the vision staring away from the water.

“Tatianna begged her grandmother to restore Caleb’s powers after having a vision of his death. And the binding was ended. Unfortunate for the vampires though. Look into the water.”

It was December 15th 2021 in an abandoned train station in Paris. Alexandra and her friend Saleena walked into the station with Breelyn a very beatiful Black Woman.

“So where’s the party?” Asked Breelyn.

“Who said anything about a party” said Alexandria as she turned around with a rash around her mouth and her eyes now red with veins.

“Do you eat anything else” asked The Hooded Witch as he stood at the top of the stares of the station and he looked down at them “because when we say Black Only this isn’t what we mean”.

The Hooded Witch stood there in his long trench coat, bullet proof vest, dark blue mask and his black boots. He held in his right hand a 4 foot wand with a orange crystal at the base.

Breelyn ran passed The Hooded Witch screaming as she exited.

“Good idea” said The Hooded Witched as he looked back “I like her.”

Other vampires appeared now, 16 of them circling Caleb.

“Everyone gets some” said Caleb “trust me…. tan imọlẹ!”

The wand began to glow with bright orange solar energy that grew by the second and lit the whole station as Caleb struck it on the ground. So much light that it lit every station in the tunnel. All 16 vampires gone.

“Theres more” said Atunde as they stared into the water.

It was December 30th 2021 and Caleb strutted through his luxury duplex and he called his secretary. He was now a private investigator under CK Investigations.

“Yes Caleb” said Kya as she entered the room with files.

“The nest in Paris was a success,” said Caleb as he threw down his leather jacket.

“”Boss..” began Kya.

“I mean summoning the sun was messier than I thought but hey,” said Caleb as he walked into his office and turned on the lights “remind me to return Malachi’s wand.”

“Boss someone is here to see you,” said Kya.

Caleb turned and Demarcus rose from his couch.

“I think we need to talk,” said Demarcus.

“What happened?!” Asked Mbaku.

“I’ll tell that story when you get older,” began Atunde “ but The Hooded Witch became a powerful hero. A hero who flew into the sky, fought enemies from the skies and one day like me moved objects with his mind. Like others with extraordinary powers he became a hero to man and he led those who became heroes by supernatural or evolutionary means. He became so strong that the Gods confronted him. To make sure he’d never rise for evil again.”

They stared into the water and saw Caleb levitating in space surrounded by three stars. The date was October 30th 2029. The stars buzzed and nothing more. But Caleb understood their communication as he flew in a steady motion, his trench coat flowing.

The first star buzzed, the star was a bright yellow.

“I have no desire to rule the planet” answered Caleb.

The second star buzzed, the star was a bright blue.

“I saved the earth from demons, other worldly beings and the White Witch. If I wanted to destroy-“ Caleb was interrupted.

The third star buzzed, this star was a bright white.

“My calling is to protect. Nothing more. I’m in control. “ answered Caleb. And the stars disappeared.

“And Demarcus?” Asked Bryanna as they stared away from the enchanted water.

“Demarcus was a good man but a hurt man and he found out that hes not as human as you’d believe him to be. He was a ikooko”

“A wolf..” Said Bryanna.

“ A WereWolf, “ said Atunde “on his 30th birthday he became a Wolf. But he didn’t turn into a animal. He gathered strength, speed and strong senses. He too became his own hero in London. But not before a very big fight between him and the Witch.”

“Another?!” Said Bryanna.

They looked into the water and saw a vision of Demarcus and Caleb standing on a busy train platform in London. The date was April 24th 2022.

“I don’t want to fight you..” Said Caleb as he stood there in a black hoody, camouflage pants and a black face mask.

“You not wanting to fight that’s new” spat Demarcus as he stood on the platform with ripped clothing and ripped sneakers, dirt in his hair and on his face.

“D this is the Ikooko talking, “ said Caleb as Tatianna stood behind him holding a pink crystal.

“Now?” Asked Tatianna.

“Not yet” said Caleb”.

“You know most magic doesn’t work on us Wolves,” said Demarcus “but that doesn’t stop you huh Caleb? Always in control , with magic, persuasion, manipulation. You are the reason I STARTED OVER.”

“I’m sorry” said Caleb “ I should’ve been honest. But now I can’t let you hurt anybody else.”

“Well then lets go” said Demarcus as he charged toward him, pupils dilated and veins growing down his arms.

“Now!” said Caleb.

“Reverse, steady, do not flow” said Tatianna as everyone around them stayed in a 5 second loop. Repeating the same words and actions. The cameras also stayed on a loop as they watched. Tatianna continued to chant.

Caleb reached behind his back to pull out a chain that was covered with inscriptions. And they fought. Caleb wrapped the chains around his right fist and swung at Demarcus. Demarcus ducked and kicked Caleb so hard he flew into the air and slid a yard back.

“Keep going!” Screamed Caleb to Tati.

Caleb approached Demarcus blocking a punch with his forearm and he sent a kick into his chest that barely moved him. Caleb slapped him across the face with the chain and ducked a punch. He then rose to uppercut him with the chain. He swung with the chain again and Demarcus grabbed it and pull, a pull so strong Caleb fell on the tracks. A train pursued. Demarcus jumped down, grabbed him and jumped in the air with Caleb to the other platform. As they landed Demarcus punched him to the ground. Caleb now on the ground lifted his foot into Demarcus’ face and he said “fasten” as the chains animated and wrapped around Demarcus’s body. Demarcus fell to his knees.

“I know you’re in there” said Caleb “and we’re going to figure this out”.

Caleb punched Demarcus unconscious.

“Whoa” said Nasir staring away from the vision in the water.

“But as far as their relationship,” began Atunde River “ Ill tell you that story one day. Love can be painful, tricky and ever changing.”

“I like them together,” said Mbaku “why don’t they just work it out?”

“Who says they don’t?” Said Atunde smiling.

With the wave of her hand the fire extinguished.

“The Hooded Witch lived both a hard and happy life” said Atunde “ but he lived. And that is the story of The Hooded Witch.”

holmestheheart said: “...I was visited in my sleep last night. The demon whispered Metallica lullabies to me...I need to stop hanging around Patsy. Anyway, how was your night?” SOMETIMES THE CANON JUST COMES TO ME FROM NOWHERE

“Metallica lullabies?” The Doctor is not sure how to comprehend the words that just came out of her mouth -- so he’s repeating to process the alien d a n g e r s that stuck out to him. “Demons? Patsy? N i -” He stops himself short, and with a quick flip of the wrist, checked the golden watch there -- acting as if he had somewhere he forgot to b e for a second -- before dropping focus back to Lizzy, concern crinkling into the frown of his Not Eyebrows and the squint of his motivated, searching eyes. His hand slowly crept into his pocket, and he scanned her on a WHIM, looking for any signs of -- “O h.” The concern dissipates, and he stands up a little straighter, tucking the sonic away and clearing his throat - clearing his EMBARRASSMENT. A pressed smile replaced the furious anxieties present beforehand, and he gave a small shrug in response to the confusion surrounding the situation he’d created - and hurriedly explained, his hand waving wildly along with his words. “You meant the b a n d, I thought you meant the -- CODE. Anyway -- a night less traveled with the likes of Patsy Stone, eh? I took River to... Well, I say t o o k, and to - we ended up on Kolu.” The Doctor scratches the back of his head, suddenly in deep recollection about the night b e f o r e. “I SAY ended up -- she wanted some new poison. These capsule.. things. The jewelry is n i c e, too. It’s a classed ‘Forbidden Planet’. One of the classics!”

Emilia: *And what should I do now?* Cole: Miles... Emilie: *You puzzled me, Leo.* Cole: Emilia. Emily, ay! I'm here! Earth calls Emily. Emilia: Ah, Cole, I'm sorry, I thought. Cole: Nothing, are you going home? Emilia: Yes, I am today to my uncle, I'm waiting for him. Kolu: What was she thinking about? Emily: About Leo... Kolu: And are you talking about your kiss in the new year? Emily: How do you know? Cole: Leo said, consulted. Еmy... Did Bradley have any girls? Emily: Shit. I do not know how it was not interested. Why are you suddenly interested in him? Cole: Just.. In the new year, after the party, we... Emilia: What are you? Cole: We, in general, slept together. Emilia: Are you now now? Cole: Mil, you know that I will not lie to you. Emilia: So what? How did you... did it? Cole: Emilia, I'm so fucked up, and you're still settling questions. Emilia: Sorry, I'm just curious. Cole: And most importantly, I do not know what to do about it now. Emilia: Do you like him? Or is it just the effect of alcohol? Cole: I do not know, it's too confusing. I’m drawn to him, but I can not call it love. Emily: Eh… Can I talk to Brady? Cole: And how will this help? Emilia: Find out what he thinks about this. Cole: I still lacked his opinion. Emily: Cole, what if he fell in love with you? Or have long been in love? You yourself then did not notice that he constantly dangling somewhere near you and looking. Cole: God, what are you talking about, Miles? Emilia: Well, yes, even Audrey is inclined towards the fact that Brad is far from being a girl. Cole: I’ve certainly heard these rumors, but I’m not sure if it’s true. Emilia: Why? Cole: At the party… He was kissing Violet. Emilia: I mean?! With this ice?! Stop! How do you know that? Cole: I caught them… Emilia: You’re lucky, Cole. Just like me. Cole: Are you all because of those kisses with Adrian and Leo? Emilia: Not only… Cole: What else has happened? Emilia: I seem to be in love with Leo and he confessed to me for the new year. Cole: Well, why are you soaring? You are not related. Emilia: Cole, we are relatives and I can not just take to start dating him. Cole: But Uncle Luke said the same… Emilia: Cole. Cole: But, Miley.. Emilia: Everything, I’m going to get dressed. Uncle probably already arrived.

1. Honestly dystopia. Or atleast it'll take a long ass time for me to come up with something good and fresh enough. I've pretty mich jist accepted that I'll never ever write dystopia even tho it's one of my favorite genres.

2. Eh... Idk but Siri Kolu & Tove Jansson are ones I really look up to.

3. Haha I've written several novellas based off of songs so yeah. Music inspires me a lot.

4. Idk, I don't really follow the lifestyle of authors.

5. I mean both but my poems are horrible :D So prose definitely.

6. Prose, would like to read poetry tho!

7. Both English and Finnish. It's weird, I don't really know which I want to write in. In finnish it's obviously a lot easier but because I think in english (i know it's weird) so it's hard to try and translate my thoughts into finnish.

8. "We accept the love we think we deserve"

9. Tove Jansson

10. Fucking go for it, I'm dead so the fuck do I care, but please be mindful that my personal journal has so many things that I wouldn't say out loud, and thats for a reason!

11. Listen to instrumental music.

12. Ehh i guess so.

13. Reading my own work is a cringefest. Writing it tho is like breathing. It's like being able to pour out some of the thoughts from my chaotic ass brain. You also get to totally zone out of your everyday problems. When I'm writing, it's impossible to think about the exam next week or what chores I have to do over the weekend. It's just me and the paper (or laptop)

14. Way too seldom. Sometimes I'll write every day, and then it'll be like 5 months without writing anything. But life gets in the way and blah blah excuse excuse and so on...

15. Ehhhh....

16. I haven't had like a solid motivation in years haha

17. Nope and idk, that would be a dream I guess.

18. Only like on the internet but not physical ones.

19. RICK YANCEY.

20. yes and yes

21. just writing itself at least for now

22. Brainstroming a whole ass book and basically have roigh plot for another story. But mostly writing just some random short stories and stuff.

23. school and I've always read books.

24. Sadly no

25. Like a dumb childrens story we jad to write at school. It was about a brown, hairy blob. Yes, I know. A genius idea.

26. Not yet, working on it.

27. Anything and everything, but a lot of it is somehow about anxiety.

28. Well I often tell people that writing is breathing. It's a way to cipe with things and feelings.

29. Reading def and painting or drawing. Or maybe I'd put more effort into dancing.

30. Well not really since I'm at the really beginning of this journey and I haven't had anything published yet.

31. Yeah I've considered for it just seems fun! Another reason was that if I ever published a book in english rather than finnish, I'd like to use an easier name than my real one :p

And also It would kind of protect me if I ever wrote about sometjing really really personal, I come from a small town and people would definitely gossip about me and I wouldn't enjoy that. But I dunno. We'll see.

Sorry for all of the mistakes, I'm really tired :p

thirty-one asks for writers.📜

do you read both prose and poetry? preference?

which languages do you write in? which do you want to write in someday?

share a quote or verse that has been on your mind lately.

a writer/poet whose life you find very interesting?

what do you feel about the idea about someone unearthing your unseen or discarded drafts someday, long after your death? what about your personal journal?

do you prefer to write in silence or listen to something? what do you listen to?

has an image ever impacted your artistic lens/inspired your work?

what would you describe the experience of writing itself? as in putting the words to paper, not planning or moodboards etc. do you agree with the common idea that the satisfaction lies in reading your work after you are done with it, rather than the process of writing itself?

how often do you write?

how disciplined are you about your writing?

what was your last long-lasting spurt of motivation?

have you ever been professionally published? are you trying to be?

do you read literary magazines?

a lesser known writer you adore?

do you write short stories? do you read them?

do you prefer to involve yourself with literary history and movements or are you more focused on the writing itself? any favourite literary movements?

are you working on anything right now?

how did you get started with writing?

do you have any “writer friends”?

what is your earliest work you can remember?

have you found your writer’s voice yet? does your work have a distinct tone?

do your works share themes/are commonly about certain topics? or are your subjects all over the place?

what does writing mean to you?

in an alternate universe, imagine you had not found writing. what do you think would be your fixation otherwise?

do you feel defined by your work?

have you ever written/considered writing under a pen name? if you would be okay saying, why?

gonna rant about how shit instagram’s algorithim is ESPECIALLY for newer artists.

So backstory, I started an art account on Instagram in 2017, didn’t really get anywhere until 2019-2020 where my posts were getting around 80-100 likes (yes don’t value your art on engagement yada yada) and I could see the change in algorithm in those years I was on Instagram. They promoted artists more in 2017, especially if you were a new artist, your art was sure to reach some random account. 2020 was when I noticed all the different things I had to do in order to get my art out there and that’s when Instagram started promoting art less. From what I remember, your post had to have at least 30 tags so the algorithm would acknowledge it, engagement within the first hour of the post was crucial as it would determine the reach of the post past that first hour, posts had to be posted a consistent schedule or else the algorithm will fuck you over (i believe they still do this honestly), and art was also one of the things that Instagram would promote less (they relied more on photography and other things which I forgot). So in 2020, for an artist to grow on the platform, it was best if they did thing art trends; downside of this was that the art for that trend had to be completed in time before a new trend popped up. Though difficult, it was still possible to get a new account to grow because Instagram actually promoted newer accounts more, it was just a matter of maintaining it. I got burnt out from doing all of this, I also wasn’t in a good mental space so I abandoned my art account and archived everything.

Flash forward to this year, I decided to start up a completely new account and Reels are a thing now. I post art that’s been sitting in my photos for awhile and…nothing. No reach at all, only people who saw it were my mutuals but whatever, it’s fine. I try again and it’s the same thing. No matter how many hashtags are put onto the post, it will not reach people for some reason, completely negates the use of hashtags.

It took me months to figure out that Instagram promoted reels more. An app that was initially dedicated to photos is now dedicated to promoting short form videos in order to compete with TikTok, isn’t that fucking amazing? Obviously, this is my case as an artist who started up from scratch on the app. Bigger artists with an already established fanbase still get a lot of engagement on their photos. But man, if this is what it takes for an artist to grow on the damn app, it just discourages them more because now they have to think about the video content they have to make in order to grow their account which will lead to them burning out faster as they not only have to think about the art they’re going to create, but the videos they’re going to make with it too.

Honestly, fuck Instagram.

#the reason why i want to grow my account is so that i can be able to sell my art one day #or open commissions #honestly i enjoy posting more on tumblr than on instagram because i have no idea what the fuck goes on in this site #i like posting without expecting notes honestly #it feels so freeing #it’s a pleasant surprise when a post of mine does well #but yeah i like shouting into the voide here #i post art here for the sake of sharing my art and that’s nice #kolu’s thoughts #instagram

Best Festivals in Odisha Dussehra Dussehra, likewise called Vijayadashmi (or Bijoya in Bengal), is the zenith of the nine-day Navaratri festivities. It is a celebration that denotes the murdering of Ravana, his child Meghanatha and sibling Kumbhakarna, by Rama. It is viewed as the vistory of good over underhandedness The Ramayana The epic Ramayana, portrays the account of Rama. Rama was the banished ruler of the realm of Ayodhya. While estranged abroad, he lived in the woodland with his significant other Sita and sibling Lakshmana. One day Sita was kidnapped by Ravana, the evil spirit lord of Lanka. Rama, helped by a multitude of monkeys and Lakshmana, assaulted Lanka to save her. A savage fight resulted between the two armed forces for a long time. Rama thought that it was hard to beat the powerful Ravana. So he appealed to God for nine days to nine distinct parts of goddess Durga and collected enough solidarity to crush Ravana. Dussehra observes Rama's triumph over Ravana in a celebration spread out more than ten days. A mind-blowing tale is sanctioned in a people fine art called Ramlila. Each alcove and corner has its own Ramlila, with a huge number of on-screen characters ordering it during Dussehra. Ordinarily, just men took an interest in the Ramlila, however now ladies, as well, have begun acting in them. The tenth day is one of firecrackers. The last demonstration of this dramatization is arranged. Tremendous paper likenesses loaded down with fireworks, now and again very nearly 100 feet high, of Ravana, his child and sibling, are set on fire. At the selected hour, an individual dressed as Rama, shoots flaring bolts at the likenesses, which begin to consume. The Dussehra of Kulu In spite of the fact that Dussehra is commended across India, in certain parts the festivals are particularly fascinating. Kulu, a humble community in Himachal Pradesh, is observer to novel Dussehra festivities. Since the hours of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, who administered Punjab (which additionally comprised of parts of Himachal Pradesh), over 150 years back, Dussehra festivities here start three days after they do in the remainder of India. This is so in light of the fact that the incredible Maharaja expected all lords who paid him tribute, to be available at Kulu for the festival. These rulers would leave following the festivals in their realms had finished, and head to Kulu. Since it took them three days to come to, this training was built up and has proceeded from that point onward. The lives of the slopes individuals are brimming with interesting legends that interface the presence of their human divine beings to the characteristic environmental factors — excellent and cruel on the other hand. On occasion like Dussehra, at that point, if the people celebrate, wouldn't the divine beings cheer as well and have their yearly get-together? Town gods from all around are brought to Kulu in palanquins. The parade is driven by performers and artists. A huge reasonable is additionally sorted out on this event. This is a decent open door for individuals to purchase and stock their arrangements for the unforgiving winter ahead, as most places become unavailable because of snow inside a month of the celebration. The Grand Dussehra of Mysore In Mysore in the southern province of Karnataka, the festivals take a remarkable turn. Rather than models of Ravana being singed, five creatures - a chicken, a fish, a sheep, a crab, and a wild ox – are yielded. Dussehra is an illustrious festival in Mysore. The individuals of Mysore observe Durga Puja, as well. They mark Durga's executing of Mahishasura, who as indicated by legend lived in those parts. The festivals are held at the Durga sanctuary on the Chamundi slope, with a stunning perspective. Durga happens to be the family divinity of the regal family. A glorious parade of finished elephants, retainers and court images winds its way to the sanctuary, which is designed wonderfully for the celebration. On arriving at the sanctuary, supplications are offered to the goddess. This occasion draws in numerous visitors from India and abroad. In any case, given the costs in question, it has been a regal illicit relationship. Recently however, with the decrease in the status of the illustrious group of Mysore, this celebration has lost a portion of its customary brilliance. The 'Bommai Kolu' of Tamil Nadu In Tamil Nadu, Lakshmi, the goddess of riches and flourishing, Saraswati, the goddess of learning and expressions and Shakti (Durga) are revered. Here, and in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, families mastermind dolls (Bommai Kolu) on uniquely manufactured advances. They additionally set up a detailed spread of lights and blossoms. The day of Saraswati puja is a day of exceptional bliss for any individual who needs to read for school, school or any test. On that day, the books are set before the goddess of learning, with the intense expectation that the proprietor of the books progresses nicely. Also, nobody should consider that day! In Kerala, as well, Vijayadashami is a propitious event for youngsters to initiate their instruction in old style move and music, and to give recognition to their instructors. Love of the Shami tree Another story begins from the epic Mahabharata. According to the story the Pandavas needed to go through 12 years of outcast and one year of camouflage since they were ousted and vanquished by the Kauravas in the round of betting (Chaucer). So they intended to spend the most recent year of there oust in camouflage. Since they didn't need some other to think about there characters they shrouded their celestial and amazing weapons under the Shami tree. Toward the finish of the one year of camouflage they returned to discover their weapons and loved Goddess Durga, the god. They went immediately to the war against Kauravas in the wake of getting their weapons and later rose triumphant. The occasion occurred in Dasmi and since great had prevailed upon the malicious, that day was called 'Vijayadashmi' and is praised till date.

A British woman fighting with a Kurdish armed unit has died in Syria, her father has said. Anna Campbell, 26, from Lewes, East Sussex, died on March 15 in Afrin while with the Kurdish Women's Protection Units, the YPJ. It is feared she was killed by Turkish airstrikes. Ms Campbell - who had dyed her fair hair black so she would not stand out - is the first British woman to have been killed in Syria with the Kurds and the first Briton to be killed in the battle for Afrin. Seven other Britons have died in the country while fighting alongside the groups. Ms Campbell's father, Dirk, told the BBC she "wanted to create a better world and she would do everything in her power to do that". Anna Campbell, centre, with YPJ fighters stationed in northern Syria Credit: YPJ He added: "I told her of course that she was putting her life in danger, which she knew full well she was doing. I feel I should have done more to persuade her to come back, but she was completely adamant." The YPJ is an all-female brigade of the Kurdish People's Protection Units YPG, which has around 50,000 Kurdish men and women fighting against Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) in northern Syria. The group has been defending the Kurdish-majority city of Afrin from Turkish forces backed by Syrian rebels after they launched an offensive in mid-January. Ankara considers the YPG a terrorist group, an offshoot of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) which has led an insurgency in Turkey for decades. Ms Campbell had been qualified plumber living in Bristol before she left to join the Kurdish militia in Syria. Her friends and commanders are thought to have tried to dissuade her from going, saying it was too dangerous. İngiliz BBC haber kanalı, İngiliz Anna Campbell isimli kadının, Afrin'de terör örgütü YPG'nin kadınlardan oluşan kolu YPJ saflarında öldürüldüğünü duyurdu. pic.twitter.com/c4noQgbNJL— Son Kale Türkiye (@SonKaleTurkiye2) March 19, 2018 He said his daughter was an "incredibly principled, brave, determined, committed woman" whose death had left him "in pieces". "She was determined to live in a way that made a difference to the world and she was determined to act on that and do whatever it took," he told the BBC. "She was prepared to put her life on the line. There aren't many people who do that. "In retrospect I think that I probably should have done more to dissuade her (from going to Syria) but I also knew that she would never have forgiven me if I had actively prevented her from going. "I couldn't affect or try to influence her own perceived destiny. It was the most important thing in life for her." Britons killed after joining Kurdish forces in Syria Macer Gifford, a British volunteer with the YPG, said: "I travelled into Rojava with Anna in May 2017. She was kind, funny and brimming with energy. She had heard about the bravery of the YPJ and they inspired her to come out to fight for democracy, equality and peace in Syria. "She wanted to fight ISIS and to rid Syria of the evil that has ripped the country apart," said Gifford, who uses a pseudonym. "Anna then bravely volunteered to join the defence of Afrin. She bravely fought alongside her YPJ sisters, they opened corridors for civilians to leave and delayed the invaders long enough to save thousands of lives." About | Women's Protection Units (YPJ) Mark Campbell, co-chairman of the Kurdistan Solidarity Campaign, said: "Anna is a woman who seemed to have more humanity in her little finger than the whole of the international community. "She is an inspiration and a hero." He said Ms Campbell, who is no relation to him, was killed alongside two Kurdish women amid the air strikes. He added: "I did not know her but I met with her father this morning. I have the utmost respect and condolences for her family." A Turkish-backed Syrian rebel drives past a burning shop in the city of Afrin, in northern Syria, on Sunday Credit: BULENT KILIC /AFP In a statement, YPJ commander and spokeswoman Nesrin Abdullah said Ms Campbell's death was a "great loss". She said: "Campbell's martyrdom is a great loss to us because with her international soul, her revolutionary spirit, which demonstrated the power of women, she expressed her will in all her actions. "On behalf of the Women's Defence Units YPJ, we express our deepest condolences to (her) family and we promise to follow the path she took up. We will represent her in the entirety of our struggles." Conflict between Turkey and Kurdish groups has been inflamed since January. Over the weekend, Turkey's president Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the country's military had captured the town centre of Afrin, which was previously controlled by the YPG. Video: Afrin is under 'total control', says Erdogan Nearly two months after launching an offensive on the Kurdish territory, he announced that the Turkish flag and that of Syrian opposition fighters had been raised in the town.

Crossing through Chanderkhani pass, he came upon a fierce storm. Struggling to stay on his feet, Maharishi Jamdagni’s basket was thrown from his head, scattering the images to many distant places. Hill people, finding these images saw them take shape or form as Gods, and began to worship them. Legend has it that deity worship began in the Kullu Valley.

In the 16th Century, Raja Jagat Singh ruled over the prosperous and beautiful kingdom of Kullu. As the ruler, the Raja came to know of a peasant by the name of Durgadatta who apparently possessed many beautiful pearls. The Raja thought he should have these treasured pearls, even though the only pearls Durgadatta had were pearls of Knowledge. But the Raja in his greed ordered Durgadatta to hand over his pearls or be hanged. Knowing of his inevitable fate at the hands of the king, Durgadatta threw himself on the fire and cursed the king, “Whenever you eat, your rice will appear as worms, and water will appear as blood”. Doomed by his fate, the Raja sought solace and searched out advice from a Brahmin. The Holy man told him that in order to eradicate the curse, he must retrieve the deity of Ragunath from Raam’skingdom. Desperate, the king sent a Brahmin to Ayodya. One fine day the Brahmin stole the deity and set out on his journey back to Kullu. The people of Ayodya, finding their beloved Ragunath missing, set out in search of the Kullu Brahmin. On the banks of the Saryu river, they approached the Brahmin and asked him why he had taken Ragunath ji. The Brahmin recounted the story of the Kullu king. The people of Ayodya attempted to lift Ragunath, but their deity became incredibly heavy when headed back towards Ayodya, and became very light when headed to Kullu. On reaching Kullu Ragunath was installed as the reigning deity of the Kullu kingdom. After installing the deity of Ragunath, Raja Jagat Singh drank the Charan-Amrit of the deity and the curse was lifted. Jagat Singh became Lord Ragunath’s regent. This legend is connected with the Dussehra at Kullu. This deity is taken in a Ratha to the Dussehra.

Dussehra 2017: 5 Places That Celebrate The Victory of Good Over Evil Differently

The legends may vary but the message behind the Vijayadashmi celebration remains the ‘victory of good over evil.’

Dussehra or Vijayadashmi falls on the tenth day of Navratri. The sky-high effigies of Ravana, Kumbhkarana and Meghnada are set of fire to celebrate Lord Rama’s victory over asura king Ravana on this day. Vijayadashmi also commemorates the victory of Goddess Durga over Mahishasur. The legends may vary but the message behind the Vijayadashmi celebration remains the ‘victory of good over evil.’

Let us take you through 5 places in India that celebrate this day with great fervor in the most diverse ways:

1. Mysore

The key attractions of Mysore Dasara are the marvelously lit Mysore Palace, elephant ride, military parades and various cultural shows. 2.

During Durga Puja elaborate pandals are constructed where people offer prayers, enjoy scrumptious bhojs and perform a special dance known as dhunuchi.3. KulluKullu Dussehra is yet another most-sought after Dussehra celebration in India. However, instead of burning the effigies of Ravana, Kumbhkarana and Meghnada, the locals perform Lanka-Dahan by burning a consortium of dry leaves and twigs. In rest of the country, Dussehra marks the end of celebration of Navratri, but in Kullu the festivities begin with Dussehra. The main attractions of Kullu Dussehra are the dances performed on the beats of dhadaks and notes of Narsingha trumpets.4.
