Sasha’s Last Moments

So, this is how it all ends.

Sasha looks up at the sparkling sky, soft colors swirl all around her, but she can no longer hear the tell-tale sounds of battle. She knows in her bones, as any good soldier does, that they have won. The dragon is slayed. The fight is over.

Sasha does not get up.

Magda had walked past her earlier, yelling her name, but Sasha did not have the energy to call back. Even if she did, would Magda hear her? If Sasha had enough left in her to move, would it have been enough to get Magda’s attention at all? To share one last kiss? For Sasha to be held as Sasha had done so for countless dying shield siblings over the past ten years?

Sasha thinks of all the times she has held hands during a soldier’s last moments, for all the people she has cradled in her arms as the light left their eyes. She had talked to so many people through their dying moments when the fear of dying was too much for them. She had asked them questions of home, of who they loved. On a battlefield so far from home, a soldier’s last thoughts should be of what they loved, of what they were fighting for in the first place. Over the past decade, Sasha had collected all these last moments, remembered them in honor of the fallen. Someone had to remember that the bravest of soldiers were still only regular people at the end of the day. Somone had to remember the forgotten. 

Sasha chuckles, the effort resulting in pathetic sputtering and her lungs desperately trying to grab more air into her lungs. The colors in the air are soft. Blues, pinks, greens. They swirl in patterns all around the air and Sasha’s eyes are having a tough time keeping track of their dancing. It’s a prettier view than most soldiers like her usually get in their last moments. For that much, she’s grateful.

She’s done her duty. Magda is alive, and Sasha knows with a faith she’s never had before, that the others still draw breath as well. Sasha may not have avenged her fallen friends from the 512th, but she at least managed to protect her new ones from the monster. She will not have another person’s death on her conscious. For that, it will be enough to leave this plane in peace.

Her breath slows, growing more laborious for no one else to hear. The ache in her body starts to leave and that is when Sasha finally accepts it: no one is coming for her. There is no one here to hold her hand, no one to comfort her during her last breath. The universe will not grant her this kindness. She is dying alone.

Sasha is alone.

She always has been.

With one last great effort, Sasha takes the metal glove off her right hand. Her legs burn and her ribs scream at the attempt, but she manages it. The glove falls to the ground unceremoniously with a clatter. Her fingertips brush against the soft grass, unscorched from the dragon’s breath. Sasha remembers running barefoot through the summer grass, on the rolling hills of Sabadera with her sisters in their youth. She feels the blades of grass between her fingertips, the gentle dew rolling across her skin. Images of three young girls, smiling and laughing fill her mind one last time as her chest slows and her vision darkens.

Sasha always thought the worst thing that could ever happen to her was that the fight would leave her body. But it’s not. Her breathing slows and as the fight leaves her heart, peace makes its way through. One last visitor. Here for one last breath.

A blanket of calm wraps around Sasha, lulling her to sleep. Air enters her lungs, but she does not feel it. The corners of her lips quirk up: a secret joke for only her and the universe to know.

“Peace,” She thinks. Her eyelids are too heavy. Glittering colors flirt across the sky through her eyelashes before she finally closes them. “So, this is peace.”

In the field of grass and fog for no one else to see, Sasha Lucero’s chest rises and falls.

It does not move again.

plot: the story starts in north caydor. kids from all different districts and ways of life are selected for a task force; to infiltrate a child-run crime syndicate and take it down. the task force is organised by the military, and is a top secret project.

these kids were selected due to being highly capable and having great skill sets. to find the kids, a competition began nationwide, inviting children (those under 24) to try for a place at 'highland excellence school'. the nation is facing a poverty and crime problem, and winning the competition guarantees a living place and future job prospects for family members.

the kids that win the competition are sent to do a year of formal training at a "world-class school". the school only has north caydor students (the civilisations prefer to keep to themselves).

the story starts at rika's first 'mission', where she is on an expedition with casimir, simon and posey to south caydor, representing the school at an aireverie-wide education meet. their goal is to keep up a cover, make friends with kids from the other nations and gather information.

///throughout the story their main goal changes. why? perhaps the crime syndicate is a robin hood situation? idk, some big plot twist?

///need to trial 1st person vs 3rd person pov. themes? the ability of the youth, fighting for what is right, i know i want this story to make people FEEL

A estreia de Fluminense e Red Bull Bragantino no Campeonato Brasileiro de 2024 foi para lá de movimentada no Maracanã. O Tricolor carioca criou e finalizou bastante, mas viu os visitantes serem muito efetivos nas chances que tiveram, e arrancaram o empate em 2 a 2 na noite de sábado (13). Lima marcou duas vezes para o Flu e largou na frente na tabela de artilheiros do Brasileirão. Eduardo Sasha e Thiago Borbas anotaram para a equipe de Bragança Paulista na segunda etapa. O duelo teve transmissão da Rádio Nacional para todo o Brasil. Grande jogo no @maracana! No fim das contas, empate! pic.twitter.com/372jKa9mCM — Brasileirão (@Brasileirao) April 14, 2024 No total, o Fluminense finalizou 26 vezes ao gol adversário e no primeiro tempo foram duas bolas na trave, além de diversas defesas do goleiro Cleiton. O gol só saiu nos acréscimos, após cobrança de escanteio pela esquerda que Lima completou de cabeça. No entanto, em seis minutos da segunda etapa, o Bragantino fez dois gols em jogadas aéreas, primeiro com Sasha e depois com Borbas, e igualou o placar na casa do Tricolor. O Flu retomou a pressão e igualou com Lima, que chutou forte de fora da área e viu a bola desviar na zaga e enganar o goleiro Lucão, que havia substituído Cleiton. Na coletiva após o jogo, o tecnico Fernando Diniz, do Tricolor, falou sobre os gols sofridos pelo time em bolas levantadas. "Não teve nada a ver com jogar sem zagueiros. Para evitar gols de cabeça, temos que evitar bolas paradas e cruzamentos", expôs. Já o português Pedro Caixinha, comandante da equipe paulista, enalteceu o bom resultado conquistado no Rio. "Tenho que ressaltar a coragem da nossa equipe. Foi um jogo difícil, mas tivemos coragem. Saio muito satisfeito com isso", opinou o treinador. Na próxima rodada, o Fluminense entra em campo na terça-feira (16), para enfrentar o Bahia, em Salvador. No dia seguinte, o Massa Bruta recebe o Vasco. Letal, Fortaleza derruba o São Paulo fora de casa Dois chutes na direção do gol. Foi tudo que o Fortaleza precisou para derrotar o São Paulo em pleno Morumbis, na estreia das equipes no campeonato. Com gols de Lucero e Machuca (André Silva descontou), o Leão fez 2 a 1 na capital paulista e largou com ótimo resultado. Todos os gols foram marcados na segunda etapa. Aos 21, Lucero recebeu dentro da área, dominou com o peito e finalizou de primeira para marcar um belo gol. Treze minutos depois, em contra-ataque fulminante, Machuca recebeu pela esquerda e finalizou cruzado para marcar o segundo da equipe cearense. O São Paulo descontou logo depois, com um belo gol de André Silva, que passou pela marcação e finalizou no ângulo do goleiro João Ricardo. Ao final da partida, os mais de 35 mil torcedores presentes ao estádio, em sua maioria são-paulinos, vaiaram o técnico Thiago Carpini. No outro banco de reservas, o argentino Juan Pablo Vojvoda viu sua sequência de invencibilidade contra o Tricolor paulista se estender: agora são 11 jogos, com seis vitórias e cinco empates (duas dessas partidas foram ainda comandando o Talleres, da Argentina). Na próxima rodada, os dois tricolores voltam a campo na quarta-feira (17). Às 20h (horário de Brasília), o Fortaleza recebe o Cruzeiro, no Castelão. Às 21h30, o São Paulo visita o Flamengo, no Maracanã. Com informações da Agência Brasil

Em jogo de estreias, Inter traz um ponto de Fortaleza.

O Internacional fez a sua estreia no Brasileirão e conseguiu trazer um empate contra o embalado Fortaleza na Arena Castelão. Mano Menezes começou com surpresa no gol, com John no lugar do Keiller e com o uruguaio De Pena como opção no banco. Além disso o treinador promoveu na segunda etapa as estreias de Rômulo, Campanharo e Jean Dias. O jogo começou estudado e muito disputado no meio-campo, com Alan Patrick ditando o ritmo e com a dupla de volantes segurando os ímpetos dos mandantes. O Fortaleza só assustou aos 9 minutos em batida de falta de Calebe que John espalmou no canto esquerdo. Dois minutos mais tarde o Inter respondeu com Wanderson cruzando da esquerda e Alemão cabeceando por cima. Com 20 minutos, Baralhas erra a saída e Calebe arrisca pra fora após receber passe de Lucero. Aos 24 o Inter chega de novo, no rebote da zaga, Wanderson bate forte e a bola passa por cima da meta de Fernando Miguel. Um minuto mais tarde, Pedro Henrique cruza pela direita e acha Alemão que cabeceia rente a trave. Com 32 minutos, Alemão faz o pivô e deixa Alan Patrick de frente para o gol, o meia bate fraco e Fernando Miguel defende. Com 38 minutos O Fortaleza quase marca, em bola cruzada Galhardo e Lucas Sasha dentro da pequena área empurram para o gol, John tira em cima da linha e o VAR confirma que a bola não entrou. Antes do fim da primeira etapa, o Inter ainda tentou com Baralhas que finaliza forte, mas sem direção. Na segunda etapa junto com a chuva os espaços em campo também apareceram. Logo aos 4 minutos em erro de saída de bola do Inter, Pochettino avança e bate pra fora. O Inter responde com chute forte de fora de Alemão, Fernando Miguel segura firme. O primeiro zero do placar saiu aos 8 minutos com Wanderson em jogada pela esquerda batendo colocado no canto da meta do Leão. 1x0 colorado. Nem deu tempo para comemorar, em cobrança de escanteio, John se atrapalha na saída do gol e a bola sobra para Moisés bater forte para empatar. Talvez visando o jogo de terça para Libertadores, Mano tira os principais jogadores como Pedro Henrique, Wanderson e Alan Patrick, colocando Jean Dias, Lucca e De Pena no decorrer da partida. Com as mudanças, o Inter perde ímpeto e o Fortaleza começa a pressionar. Com 19 minutos, Tinga cruza e Moisés bate para grande defesa de John. Com 34 minutos, Hércules arrisca de longe e John faz a defesa em dois tempos. Logo depois foi a vez Pochettino parar no goleiro colorado. Faltando um minuto para o fim do tempo regulamentar, Gulherme passa por três defensores e arrisca para outro milagre de John. No último lance da partida, Yago Pikachu bate falta perto da trave assustando o goleiro colorado. Fim de jogo e o colorado traz um ponto de volta para Porto Alegre. Agora o time vira a chave pois terça (18) recebe o Metropolitanos pela Libertadores.

The Battle is Over

The dragon was dead. 

The dragon was dead but the bank of fog that had surrounded most of her friends was still there. Magda was so sick of fog by this point, but she couldn’t even see her hand in front of her face the moment she stepped inside. She started shouting for her friends, shouting for Korel, for Fang, for Sasha. But the silence was deafening. 

Letting out a frustrated grunt, remembering she had been deafened to fight the dragon, she continued into the fog, continued shouting, hoping someone would hear her and find her. She had skirted around the dragon’s body, growing more frantic by the moment as she didn’t run into anything or anyone. Until her hands met something solid and furry, and she practically cried with relief to find Fang. 

The fog began to fade away, as did the deafness in her ears. The first sounds that started to filter through were sobs and Magda’s blood ran cold. The crying was coming from behind her, back the way she came.  Slowly, she turned around, spotting Korel kneeling over Sasha. 

Magda screamed. 

She screamed and she ran over, the dread and guilt in her stomach tightening. She had been so close! Magda had walked right by her, and she didn’t even notice. She dropped to her knees on the other side of Sasha, hands shaking as she reached down. 

“I tried to revive her. It should have worked….why didn’t it work? Why didn’t it work?!” Each word was like a stab to Magda’s heart as she put her hands on Sasha’s face. Her eyes were open and staring up at the sky, no light behind them at all. 

“No…no….nonononononono!” Magda bent down and kissed Sasha, hoping there was still some magic left. But Sasha’s skin was cool under her lips and Magda started to cry with Korel, still not wanting to believe she was gone. She couldn’t be gone. She was just there. She still had things to do. “Sasha! Sasha Lucero you wake up this instant!”

Sasha’s head slowly turned to Magda and voice rasped out, cold, familiar and ghostly.  You walked right by me. You left me to die alone. 

~~~~~

Magda’s eyes snapped open with a scream stuck in her throat. Sasha lay across from her, asleep. Alive. She watched her chest rise and fall for a few moments while she tried to stop her heart from hammering in her ears. Magda reached out and touched Sasha’s face lightly before sitting up and looking around, checking in on everyone. She spotted Bryn and Sprinkle keeping watch, and Magda nodded to her. Bryn nodded back, giving her a small smile. Magda lay back down, knowing she would have to get up for her watch soon, and contented herself with watching Sasha sleep, reminding herself it was a dream. 

The spell did work. 

Sasha was alive.

FILM BLOG

...

Here are eight (8) films I have recently watched...

...

Maynila sa mga Kuko ng Liwanag (1975)

This film is directed by Lino Brocka and stars Bembol Rocco, Linda Koronel, and Tommy Yap. The film revolves around Julio Madiaga (played by Bembol Rocco), a young adult from the province who went to Manila to find a job and eventually found himself into a society in which he becomes hopeless while learning that his old flame, Ligaya Paraiso (played by Linda Koronel), is also within the city. The movie as a whole was engaging right from the start until the end and it is really a must-watch. I, for one, started to appreciate more of the local films after watching this movie, even the vintage ones before my time like the film Batch 81 by Mike de Leon. I think its good to see such original narratives from local films nowadays, considering the amount of film festivals that we have as of now -- but if you would think about it, there's no local film like any other when compared with Maynila. There were actually no characters from the film that you would not be interested in. I symphatized with the main characters especially with Julio, since every situation he comes across in the film was very harsh that he can't seem to do anything about them but instead, he would often run from it. The main protagonist, Ah Tek (played by Tommy Yap), was very subtle throughout the film because you wouldnt expect him to have such a big turning point to the story and for Julio as a character later in the final act of the film. I saw the film only with its restored version which was made possible by Mike de Leon, who is also the cinematographer of this film, and they did a pretty good job on remastering its cinematography. The audio was a little blown out even with its restored version but I was able to understand most of the dialogue anyway. Overall, Maynila sa mga Kuko ng Liwanag gets more and more intense every after scene and I think it deserves to be recognized by everyone.

  The Birth of a Nation (1915)

This film is directed by D. W. Griffith and stars Henry B. Walthall, Lillian Gish, and Ralph Lewis. The film is centered around a family from the north and south of america during the civil war period and how they eventually became at war with each other that results with the birth of a racist and aggressive nation, hence the title of the film. This is an important part of the history of film since it is the very first feature length film with a narrative. However, the film was unessecarily three hours long, at least for me, and it is also a silent film as a whole in which I wouldnt blame the filmmakers for it, given the time it was made. The film eventually shows the main protagonist's descent into madness as is explicitly shows how the birth of the Ku Klux Klan came to be. I think it's not that controversial enough, based from some people who have watched the film, since it is somehow for the viewers to be aware not only of the history of the KKK but also to be aware of the impact on racism and how it is still relevant until now. The final act might be the most brutal part of the film since it shows how we, humans, can do something unimaginable. I think The Birth of a Nation, as a whole, doesnt fear to show the dark truth in which the society could possess towards people of color and it would be rather recommended for people who are interested in what the first feature film was like.

  The Jazz Singer (1927)

This film is directed by Alan Crosland and stars Al Jolson, May McAvoy, and Yossele Rosenblatt. The story revolves around a boy named Jackie Rabinowitz who is interested in jazz and wants to become a jazz singer but his father (played by Yossele Rosenblatt) whom, is a cantor, is keeping him from doing so since tradition must be passed on to him. Years later, Jackie (played by Al Jolson) grew up and was able to follow his passion whilst finding love along the way and must decide whether to keep on being a singer or to stick with his tradition and stay with his father. The Jazz Singer is known as the first "talkie" film in which dialogue can be heard in the film, except there wasnt much scenes with actual speaking voice on it and can only be heard whenever there are scenes in which Jackie is finished singing. What I like about this film is the narrative and the acting. The story was simple yet well executed as a drama movie and Al Jolson steals every scene that he is on. The final act might be my favorite part of the film because it was riveting and sad at the same time which ended on a perfect note. In Jazz Singer, I learned how you can follow your passion wherever you see yourself fit despite what others tell you to be what they want you to be, and there's nothing wrong about it.

Citizen Kane (1941)

This film is directed and written by Orson Welles and stars also himself as the lead role, along with Joseph Cotten and Dorothy Comingore. The film focuses on the mysterious death of Charles Foster Kane (played by Orson Welles) in which a reporter is assigned to unravel the truth behind Kane's mystifying last words. I have to say, this film is far ahead of its time when referring to itsediting and cinematography. The story and especially its atmosphere is what I liked the most since I am more into the noir type of films, like Sunset Boulevard (1952). Every scene gets more engaging as you progress through its narrative. All the actors who took part did a brilliant job, but Welles made himself stand out among the rest of the cast. His portrayal of a man who was able to get everything he wanted, and wasnt really satisfied after all -- is beyond phenomenal.

Pink Floyd: The Wall (1982)

This film is directed by Alan Parker and Gerald Scafe and was written by one of the band members of Pink Floyd itself, Roger Waters. It stars Bob Geldof and it is a visual representation of the band's album of the same name. The story revolves around a man named Pink, a musician scarred for life who pondered on his childhood memories inside a hotel room and isolating himself from the society in which he symbolizes as a wall. This is actually the first album I have heard from the band and I started to appreciate more of their songs after watching the movie. It was captivating until the end since it is visually hypnotizing with all its twisted animations throughout the film, all thanks to Scafe's vision of the album. The way I see it, I think it shows how some people who happen to have a depressing upbringing could actually be forced into isolation and absolute madness all because of its noxious society that's surrounding them.

Hugo (2011)

This film is directed by Martin Scorsese and stars Asa Butterfield, Chloe Graze Moretz, Sasha Baron Cohen, with Ben Kingsley. The film is centered around an orphan named Hugo Cabret (Asa Butterfield) who is living inside a clock beyond the walls of the train station, and yet no one had any knowledge of who he is and where he lives. Hugo constantly works on an automaton in which his late father (played by Jude Law) had left him, not knowing that there is a secret message hidden within the automaton. Out of all the films Scorsese had made, this might be the only light-hearted one since most of his works are brooding and grounded. The film, as a whole, is well-directed. The story, the cinematography, the editing, every element evokes a youthful bliss. Hugo’s connection with the other characters is what simply made the film entertaining. The film also pays tribute to the first pioneers of film which can be quite educational in some way. I think every aspiring filmmakers should witness one of Scorsese’s masterpiece since it will make them appreciate and learn more of the filmmaking industry. Perhaps this film might be one of those reasons why I love filmmaking.

  YIELD (2018)

This documentary is directed by Toshihiko Uriu and Victor Tagaro. It mainly documents the lives of nine (9) children namely Essam, Jason, Omar, Alex, Edralen, Glady Mae, Rommel, Ariel, and April as they endure child labor under the third-world conditions. Yield was somehow sad to watch since we get to witness some of the children’s deprivation of dignity which harms both their physical and mental state. This was not one of those typical documentary films since it is more observational – immersive, and no interview of some kind. Despite their hardships in life, some of them never yielded until they have reached their goals and some of them unfortunately never made it along the way. Yield was interestingly made in a span of five (5) years. I never really was interested in watching documentaries and maybe it depends on the subject matter, but this made me appreciate more of the alternative styles or modes in documentary filmmaking.

  Batch 81 (1982)

This film is directed by Mike de Leon and stars Mark Gil as Sid Lucero in a brutal and grounded depiction of what newfound members of a fraternity has to undergo in order to become one of them. Basically the whole story revolves around Sid Lucero with six (6) of his other friends that decided to join a fraternity called the Alpha Kappa Omega (AKΩ) since they find it advantageous throughout their lives. As the film progresses, it gets more and more intense since their fate and friendship is immensely tested as there’s no turning back when joining the said fraternity. This is also one of the many Mike de Leon films in which it deals with the psyche of the Filipino people during the Martial Law years. It may not feel like a blockbuster-budget film but the story was powerful, all throughout. Batch 81 showcases how fascism has affected our human nature and captures our hunger for power wherein some people would tend to see themselves above everything else, and in that, it was a strong movie as a whole.
