The Shed 19

sorry, friends account accidentally.

Sorry about that previous, i didnt realize that my friends account was active. I'm new here, and didnt know that ATS doesnt log out automatically.
But, same thing still. Feeling helpless. Stretched. Because usually i am stable as a bedrock, able to comfort everyone and everything, but right now i find it hard to exist. Just because one thing led to another, and now i'm not able to help anyone. I believe that its just a matter of few hours, but this feeling is so crushing... Still gotta pull myself together, an important meeting with a physiotherapist today.

Yeah i almost accidentally posted with your account a few days ago when you slept, no harm done.

We will get through this, although it doesn't seem easy now.

a reply to: Finspiracy

Awkward ....

a reply to: Ironshepherd

Hello and welcome to the Shed Ironshepherd! Sorry to hear you are going through a bad time. You can hang out here in our magical realm and try to get your mind off of things for a while. I see you have Fin for a friend, so that's a good thing.


Sometimes we have to be a warrior in life with all the crap it throws at us. In here, we share a lot of love and compassion when needed.

ETA: Sorry, I just realized you had popped into the last Shed. My memory sucks!

a reply to: Finspiracy

Hi Fin! I take it, this is your friend with the cats. Yes, this is your friend with the cats and daughter that you love so much.

I'm going out to lunch with my Sister later. For now, I need my coffee before I can even think of getting dressed. Before Gordi comes in here, I feel I must explain. I have a nightgown on and so no, I'm not running around without anything on. LOL

a reply to: Timely

Hi Timely Dave! How is everything in Dave's world?

To everyone, I leave a message for the day...Believe in yourself and know that you are so much stronger than you realize. I know sometimes we get tired of being strong and the road ahead seems long and filled with obstacles, but we can keep pushing forward together, united in friendship and love. Together, we have this sacred place where we can come and rest our weary souls and just be. The Shed can be a place of wonder and joy, an escape from the mundane, a journey through life together. You are never alone.

Spirit Cat Card Reading

Connection

The Spirit Cats remind us that we are not alone. We are a web of connections. Our attitudes, actions, and energy ripple outward and touch people in ways seen and unseen. No single action stands alone. Each action, idea, and feeling is born out of countless influences, and in turn, has its own unique affect. We see this most clearly and dramatically in our innermost circle. But this also extends outward to humanity, the earth, and the universe. Our consciousness dances together: challenging, uplifting, teaching, learning, questioning, reassuring, inspiring and loving.

Sounds to me like someone has been giving the cats Catnip.

Well, they are magical cats so I don't think they need catnip, but I'm sure they partake from time to time.

a reply to: Gordi The Drummer

Bahahaha!

Hello everyone.
I have another chapter in the story.
I hope you don't mind it being a bit long.
The previous chapter that I wrote can be found here:
Chapter 5 Page 93 of Shed 19

Now for today's tale.

Chapter 6
A Darkness And Fire

Errollorre slowly woke from unconsciousness.
He was aware before he forced his eyes open that there was pain in his wrists and ankles.

He began to see through heavy lidded eyes that he was in a corridor that was in a dimly lit cave.
He was moving slowly through it.
He turned to see more and realized then that he was tied to a large wooden X.
His arms extended over his head and his legs were spread apart.
The wooden X set upon a flat wooden base that had wheels underneath.
On the four corners of this prison cart stood four Armagors.
They slowly pushed this device through the cave.

Errollorre searched his memory and slowly began to recall events.
He had come to a clearing in the Dark Forest.
Dead Armagors lay scattered on the ground.
He identified large footprints in the dirt that told him that Troll the troll had battled with these beasts.
Errollorre found a broken barrel that had something that glittered at its end.
It was pixie dust.
“What would Armagors want with pixies?” thought Errollorre.

Suddenly black robed and hooded apparitions appeared.
Errollorre could see no faces beneath their hoods.
The legless beings floated in the air and moved toward Errollorre.
Errollorre slammed his staff into the ground creating a bubble of light.
The light rays caused the apparition to dissipate.
But they reformed and came again.
Three times this scene played over.
On the fourth time the apparitions reformed within the sphere of light.
One of them placed a black boned hand upon Errollorre's shoulder and he cried with pain.
Errollorre dropped his staff and fell to his knees.
He saw the beings swarm toward him
There was pain, and then all went dark.

continued..

Now as they Armagors transported Errollorre through the narrow cave he began to look around.
They passed small caves that were sealed with thick iron bars.
Errollorre could see inside these different cells there was a variety of men and other beings.
They lay in their prisons in great distress and pain.
They wheeled past a cave that seemed to have its entrance covered in glass.
Errollorre looked inside and could see dozens of pixies.
Some sat on the ground. Others leaned against the cell walls crying.

Errollorre tried to call out but then noticed he could not speak.
Nothing covered his mouth but words would not form for him.

The Armagors pushed the cart out of the narrow corridor and they entered a massive chamber.
The air was thick and it smelled of sulphur.
The walls glowed red like coal in a fire.
They crossed a narrow bridge over a huge pit full of flame and smoke.
The heat burned Errollorres face and hands.

Errollorre looked ahead and saw as they approached the end of the bridge there was a wide black dais of smooth marble.
Stairs went up to a black throne.
A tall black robed figure sat there.
Looking down and eating.

The Armagors brought the cart to the foot of the black marble stairs. And stopped.
The backed away several feet and stood at attention.
The being on the throne looked up and spoke.

“Ah the would be wizard has awakened.” said the being.
It stood up. It was tall and thin. But it's robe hung on broad shoulders.
It had deep set black eyes that seemed to burn.
From the nose down to its chin it was exposed skull.
“Excuse me a moment.” said the being. “I must put on my face.”
It reached down and grabbed something on a tray by its throne.
Errollorre did not know what the object was.
But was red and black. It dripped some clear liquid.
Errollorre thought he could see it moving.
Then the being ate it.

Flesh began to appear on the exposed jawbone of the being.
“That’s better.” said the being. “Now let’s begin. Shall we?”

“I know you have many questions.” said the being. “I can read your thoughts.
You may have noticed I have removed your power of speech. I have no interest in anything you may have to say. So I will do all the talking. And you will listen.

I am deity. A fitting name for myself because I am the ultimate being of all who are before me.
When my servants spoke the words to resurrect me, they got much more than they anticipated.
I absorbed the flesh, minds of all that came before me.
Accassia has been fighting the dark forces for a thousand years.
Armandak the Gold fought against Accasia and almost conquered eons ago. He is now within me.
The Void of Gargol rose up and laid waste to much of the land five hundred years ago.
He was defeated after the loss of much life.
He is within me.
Dozens more came and fell. Some, you yourself battled in days gone by. The elf of the Night Star also fought many of my early kindred.
They also are within me.
Then there is my immediate predecessor, The Witch Queen. Oh she is in me too.
She has strong memories for me.
She is the one who convinced me to have you brought here.
We wish to see you suffer before the end.

You are all such fools.
You fight battles and think you have achieved victory.
All the while you were part of a plan.
To create the ultimate power.
I’ve risen to complete our desires.
And I thank you for the foolish sacrifices your people made to give me power.”
The creature laughed.

“Now I see you wonder about the pixies. Why do I want pixies.
I don’t!
They are bait.
The warriors from the Shedlands will come here. Where there is no hope of escape.
The will try to rescue their tiny friends. And they will die.
When the mighty warriors from the Shedlands are eliminated the destruction of the lands of Accasia will be swifter.
Oh and the pixies will die too.

As for you, the memory of the Witch Queen has a special plan.
We have decieved your princess into believing by coming here she can rescue her father.
Her father is not here. Nor will he ever be. This is a trap.
So you may have the agony of watching her and all your friends die before you.
Then when your suffering begins to ease, I will kill you.
That is the plan.”
The evil creature began to laugh loudly.

Then it stopped and turned again towards Errollorre.
“No.” it said. “No. How many time in the past has this happened? While we wait for the trap to be sprung the captive discovers a way of escape.
Then it overturns the destructive plan.
No. The Witch Queens memories are irrelevant to me.
Goodbye.”

The evil being extended its hand and a bolt of black lighting shot out and hit Errollorre squarly in the heart.
The wooden X and cart burst into flames.
Errollorre crumpled to the ground. He was dead.

The being signaled to the Armagors and they bent over Errollorres charred body.
“He his dead my Lord.” said one.
“Throw his corpse into the pit to be burned.” said the being.
The Armagors began to reach for Errollorres body.
“Wait!” yelled the being.
The dark creature walked over to where Errollorre lay.
It drew out from beneath its robe a large black sword.
It thrust it into Errollorres body over and over.
“Now burn it.” said the Dark Creature.

The Armagors picked up the body of Errollorre and threw it into the fiery pit.
Clothes, flesh and bone burned to ash as it fell.
Errollorre was truly dead.

Ah, the wonderful world of outdoor dining on your deck. I'm not sure what made tonight's late dinner better -- the sunset & birds chirping, the neighbors behind us getting drunk and into a yelling match with each other again (poster children for why TO divorce) or the next door neighbor's snotty adult daughter coming over to mow her lawn for her (elderly woman) at such a late hour and choking the poor mower half to death the entire time on lawn debris.

Naw, definitely was The Lawn Mower Chronicles that made the night. Every time she hit a rock, tried to mow over a tree branch and generally made the poor machine protest loudly, hubby squeaked in horror & winced hard. I shudder at the thought of what that blade must look like...

I needed this card today, thanks Night.

a reply to: Errollorre

Holy crap, that was awesome! I hope Errollorre isn't really dead. Maybe he used his Wizard powers and transported out of his body or something? OMG! That was frightful! Good job Tom!

a reply to: Nyiah

Dining out on your deck with the sun setting and birds chirping sounds lovely. Well, except for the neighbors. Poor lawn mower! LOL

a reply to: LookingForABetterLife

Glad I picked that card Blue! I always hope whatever card I pull, it might resonate with someone or inspire somehow. You are never alone my friend!


I finally have an eye appointment. I will be seeing my Sister's Optometrist. She raves about him. I know I have cataracts so it looks like an operation or two is down the line for me. They only do one eye at a time if I'm not mistaken. In any case, I need new glasses and need to see better. Things will be brighter and clearer.

We had a lovely lunch and a margarita. Well, the bartender ended up making 3 instead of two so my Sister had a few sips of the extra one. It was free. I ended up having the rest. We went to the honey shop and I got another container of all natural powder with lavender and other herbs, some incense and a few honey sticks with CBD oil in them. I also got 5.00 off my purchase because I have a card they punch and after a certain amount you get 5 bucks off. When I came home, I sat on the porch for a bit and watered my herb plants.
