“PWNED!”
Rocky*
Today I saw the
Dark Knight Rises with Bro and Father. I liked it. I was a very good
movie. Here's a gist of it: It's about a Dark Knight “rising” the
Dark Knight being Azzar. He's “rising” from his old guild of Dark
Knights to become a Paladin to fight the forces of good. The people
naturally don't trust him being a Dark Knight and won't give him a
chance. However someone does give him a chance, a Watermelon Fairy
named Sarah(The heroine). Sarah vows to help the Dark Knight become
Paladin and stop his evil ways of rampantly murdering people and
performing his other terrible acts like singing terrible rap songs.
(I forgot to mention this is a musical) So she also has to teach him
how to rap like a Paladin, with kickin good beats, and without the
horrible puns he used originally used. (Our Dark Knight protagonist
would badly rap while he murdered making things even worse) They are
joined by comedic relief Mr. Bonjango. He's a goodhearted man except
for his greed. He wants to use the Dark Knight's change as a
publicity tool for his business. He cracks wonderful jokes and the
audience can hear his thoughts on him constantly contemplating on how
he can make money on whatever is currently happening. There are two
villains in this movie, first is the leader of the Dark Knight guild
that the hero came from. Next is the second-in-command of the
Paladins. Both of them think their respective groups would be shamed
if the hero changed sides. They both set out temptations to try to
keep the hero on the side of darkness. Eventually they find out about
each other and begin working together. When the hero gets close to
completely turning they decide to just kill him. This leads to the
final fight scene. The hero starts to lose but his friends help him
along with the people who originally thought he couldn't turn to the
side of good. The villains attack made the people realize he had
turned to the side of good. Once the villains were defeated I was
expecting them to be sent to prison for their crime. But instead they
were executed publicly by hanging. Huh.
Alright despite
my charade, yeah, Dark Knight Rises was nothing like that,
still liked the real one though, gotta love Batman huh? Though he
isn't as pun-tastic as he was back in the olden days. But now there
are much more explosions so it's a decent trade off.
Now onto the
flash fiction!
The Soul
Barrier
“So this is
the Soul Barrier?” My wife said to me. She sat on the balcony of
our house looking out to the magical barrier on the horizon. Our
balcony was huge. We were too rich for our own good. Marble statues
sat on the edges of the balcony for generations and the garden below
“Yes.” I
told her. “This is it. It has shrunk though and needs to be
refueled.”
My wife stood
there perplexed. “Sometimes I can't believe it's that glowing blue
shield keeping the demons back. And those wizards have to work night
and day to keep it up.” She then jumped. “I saw a demon attack the
shield just now! They know when it's shrinking don't they? But it is going to
be refueled right and will grow right? The family in the mansion will
be safe? Our kids, their uncles and grandparents.”
I then held her
close. “Yes they will be safe...very, very, very safe. The barrier
will stay up.” I cried a little.
She then turned
to me concerned. “What's wrong? There's something wrong. Tell me.”
I held her
close. “I'm sorry...but I came up here to tell you myself. I didn't
want you to learn it from the officers when they come to take you
away. And promise me you won't resist them it will only make it
harder. Just comfort yourself with the fact that you'll be helping
keep your children safe.”
My wife's eyes
then filled with fear. “You don't mean...”
I shook my
head, “Yes, you've been picked as one of the souls to refuel the
Soul Barrier. I'll watch the kids. Don't worry. Don't ever worry.
They will be here in the morning. That's what the letter said. I put
off telling you when I got it a month ago. I didn't want you to be
depressed so I hid it. I hope I did the right thing.”
She smile while crying herself. “You did the right thing, it kept me happier for longer, and we still have
one last day together. So let's make the most of it. And I won't
worry. I know you will watch over the children for me.”
