We have made our choices for the artwork for Chapters 7 and 8, the three poems and the line art that has been chosen to be included in the book. Two of the line art pieces are for the end pages of the book. Those along with another line art piece still need to be colored so we'd like to offer up a last challenge to the community. All you top flight colorists out there we'd like you to take your best shot at coloring these pieces. Then we will be ready to publish right away after that. The best pieces will be included in the book. Your last chance to be a part of this charitable cause. You have until October 1st.

I will be announcing the next Odyssey project within two weeks. We will have a very special guest joining us on our next Odyssey. We have learned much from our last excursion and I can't wait to share all of the new elements and surprises $marioluevanos and I have in store for this next Odyssey project.

Poems

The Pages WithinKnow not,
You, my friend,
of the fates that I speak?

Remember,
You must,
the threads of spiraling fate,

Betwixt,
The city,
and an unearthly wind,

A secret,
deep as the gorges,
Dost lie.

Lies, and waits,
Lies and truth,
Both together,
Lest the meaning separate.

For Death,
She waits,
behind a mask of horror,

Evade her,
She must,
Travel the spiraling fate,

Beside her,
A guide and friend,
An enemy and You.

Travel On,
O hidden traveler,
behind the shadows,
traverse her spiraling fate...

Read On...

Gaterunner - OI12:MP

I will not let it end like this
I will not fade away like dust
In gusts of ever-shifting wind

Through good and bad I'll find my way
My story isn't theirs to write
With feathers from my broken wings

With every choice the Timelines change
To save the world or seek revenge?
How should I answer Fate's last call?

Still, peace shall only be restored
If all the Gates are passed once more
There's one chance, it's nothing or all

I cannot let his wrongs go on
I won't let crimson rivers flow
Beneath his blade with screams of pain

I'll find the long-forgotten truth
And mend the shattered strings of Time
Before the clocks strike twelve ag

Zephyr KeyThe stars were with me then,
the stars are with me now.
Something happened, something changed,
but the cycle goes on just the same.

For now I am in slumber
though not really asleep.
My spirit flows with the light,
never fading, never ending.
Ready to pass on the wisdom to the next
Zephyr Key.

Greetings fellow Light Train Travelers. Thank you for your continued patience.

We have made our choices for the artwork for Chapters 7 and 8, the three poems and the line art that has been chosen to be included in the book. Two of the line art pieces are for the end pages of the book. Those along with another line art piece still need to be colored so we'd like to offer up a last challenge to the community.
