Utlaga - Chapter 7

The Mage straightened up, scratching one of his scarred arms with the opposite tattooed hand. At his feet was a contrasting footprint made by a boot. It stood out against the dark, damp, mossy forest floor and inside the print, small pools of water were slowly collecting from the light drizzle of rain which was seeping through the canopy of leaves above them. The Mage, however, seemed to be somehow impervious to the rain. He stood in the light downpour from the heavens, water trickling out of his hair and down his face and arms in a continuous flow of liquid. The men who had volunteered to come with him to look for that abomination of the

Shitelight rewrite - PrefacePreface

Who ever thinks about how they are going to die? I never did, even though many things that have happened in my life recently could give me a good reason. I stared into the eyes of the man who was soon to be my killer. The light seemed to disappear as it neared those eyes, leaving them as dark as a moonless night, but with a deep red corona that shone eerily, even in the half-light. I couldn't help but think that if not for my decision to go to Forks I wouldn't be trembling before my killer right now.

And yet, my time at Forks was possibly the best I'd ever had. It had given me a dream, even though my dreams were destined to be crush

Utlaga - Chapter 6

Mactire yawned and stretched, blinking in the light and opening his eyes. At first, he was startled for his whereabouts, but then he remembered the previous day. The damp smell of the underground filled his nose and he wished he could smell the fresh air, considering asking the female tailless later. But his main priority was now one of hunger.

The female tailless seemed to be getting something for breakfast, her front-paw-hands rummaging in the leather-cloth-bags the tailless' used to carry their items with them. The female tailless seemed to notice him, saying a long string of tailless-talk which included his name; Mactire. The female t

Utlaga - Chapter 5

Mactire's black furred ears flicked back, plastering against his skull. A low growl emanated softly from the very bass of his throat.

Tyro? What's wrong with the female tailless? Why did she say that you were… dead? You can't be dead. Are you dead? The wolf asked anxiously, coming over and sniffing Tyro experimentally.

Of course I'm not dead. I won't be dead any time soon. Tyro replied, placing a hand gently on top of Mactire's head. Ayame was just… reading my… future.

But if she was seeing your future… she said you were dead! Mactire looked between Tyro and Ayame, who was still sitting leaning against the wall, her

Another picture taken on the same day as [link]

Please don't steal.

EDIT: Despite the opinions of some people; the only photoshopped part of this image is the watermark. To take these images; I used a long exposure to capture several strikes into one image.
I was perfectly safe at the time, My telephoto lens allowed me to capture the image from a safe distance.
Also; the colour of the strike is due to the evaporated eucalyptus oil in the air released by the hectares and hectares of gum trees both on that ridge and beyond. It's called Australia people.
Also... about the rule 'lightning never strikes the same place twice'. This is false. You only have to look at the lightning strike statistics of buildings such as the Empire State Building or the Statue of Liberty to understand this.

Ok I had my doubts with the first one, but this one just confirms it. First. Lightning doesn't strike the same place twice. Second, it doesn't strike through clouds like that. Thrid according to the last pic, you got soaked after, so that means the core should of been moving toward you. You can't take pics of storm clouds and generate lightning through them. It makes for a nice sppoky background and great photoshopping, but Ive been photographing lightning for 15+ years lol.. Very nice work though. This would make an awesome premade!

Handing over the computer to ScottieDoctor again:

1. The phrase 'Lightning doesn't strike the same place twice' is a METAPHOR. It does not carry any scientific proof in relevance to lightning. It refers to the ideology that things don't happen to people twice in the exact same way. Lightning OBVIOUSLY strikes the same place more than once. Look at the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty. I'm using American examples cause I thought they'd be a little more obvious to you than examples from other places.
2. Once again about the lightning not striking through clouds...
3. Because the only direction the storm could have been going was TOWARDS me.
4. There is NO. PHOTOSHOPPING. The only thing generated digitally was the watermark.
5. Who says 'LOL' after talking about their credentials? I'm sorry; but you REALLY don't seem that old, and I'd rather do what I was doing and listen to my uncle who has been doing photography for 36 years than listen to you.
6. Lightning is always that colour. The colour is slightly different lower down due to the evaporated eucalyptus oil in the air.
