The Timecrafter: Night 02-10

02> The deceased.

Infinitely sidel had existed in Hybernaculuüm, his skin had turned pale and his eyes black as deep space.. but he did dream..

First, he saw the coming of a fire so fierce it surrounded the world, it was an angry fire.. a vicious blaze that wished nothing more than to engulf it in death.
A fire that longed for the cold after, as if it required but a breeze in eternity to ease itself for but a moment.

Far beyond the world Sidel watched from what felt like a persistent abyss, a deep hole in space.. compressed.. confined, within a looking glass.
Then beside him stood a boy he had not seen in what had felt like an eternity, and with a mere glance Sidel knew.. 'Lone..' he had returned.

Then, as if a billion stars at once had stopped reflecting light Sidel's eyes opened rupturing the boundaries of the Hybernaculuüm and found himself to be sitting in a vast meadow.. its grass dancing in the strong wind.. and the scent of Edin oncemore..
But on the horizon was a barren sight, as if the world had turned upside down during his absence..

03> Dead kings.

"That boy, that dread met boy.." "How could this world have loved him so and see how the heavens have crashed onto us"
Ivory rested flat on the cold stone floor.. "Would you not think so my trusted ....friend" and sighed with sorrow..

"I once knew him as a prospect" Said Orobas, Ivory's Guardsman beside him. "I hope you wont mind if i.. lower myself to say"

"No its allright .." replied Ivory kseres.. "Talk, it will be music on the endless rain"

"Very well" proceeded orobas.. "My lord.. no.., my.. dear.. Figo.."
"I was but a young girl when you took me in.. fearing every kingdom on our globe.. and even though my father wanted me to be with.. Lone..
..I.." "I saw in his eyes he was no man of our world, and i stayed with you always.. And you were good to me even in your madness.. since the day you took me in"
"and even protected me against your own council.. and the wizards... and i protected you when they they poisoned you then, and threw you out into the desert as dead.."

"Now let me say..  i know hes still out there, and i know you feel it too.. i know the storm has not taken us to its center yet, but it will.. for this world has to learn .. why"

Ivory kseres/Figo, old king of Ember.. remained silent for a bit.. sat up slightly and allowed a tear of dust from his undead eyes..
"But this poison*, it also kept me to care for you Selen*.."
*the vim lavos, poison that makes the victim old but also undead*  *Daughter of Osega, Sister of Kyigei and Aman, did not have right to the throne but was 'officially' given to Eden who would have her marry to Lone, in ancient times.*
"And though it might have taken your beauty too.. i can see it still, and so would Lone.. if what we feel is true"

04> Reason in Inferno.

"Lone" "I know you did not forget me"
"Lone" "We were once brothers"
*chronicle of Aenimcea*

The day Lone had dissapeared from the face of planet Edin as thousands of Denimus entered its orbit, in reunion he instantly knew his true heritage..
He had been lucky to have appeared on Edin as a child, for his true form included a gemini.. as wasn't uncommon in the creation of roamers.
A being burning with the fire that had eluded Lone keeping him pure, a being determined to force back the Denimus perhaps more fierce than even Ega..
His name was Aenimcea, and regardless of his nature and knowing Lone would try to stop him.. he was determined definitely..to finish Ega's strife; regain his soul and sever the boundaries of time.
And took Lone's place that fateful day, ejected in Hura, Ironically Edin's twin planet.

Soon he had learned of the Denimus existence in Edin, and knew he needed the help of one who had been hidden by Lone himself.*

*TTC-Underworld tells of Lone's assistance in nebuchadnezzars escape, this was part of the celestial rebellion after the fall of the sages worship (by eluiscers death in TTC-Domus). The gods had returned and the highest god "An ruerim" took stance against the Denimus, having traced them to Edin..
However the god of doors and portals Janus sided with the Denimus and impersonated An ruerims command to destroy him from within Starting with the deaths of Nebuchadnezzar and An ruerim himself; the rebellion was born and fought on Edin soil, joined by Anis grav, Esys and Sasariel. Eventually partially put down through immense effort by An ruerim's second; Ezegiel, celestial high commander; Uriël boriël, Lone and Ezegiels daughter Hecariël.
Not even halfway the war Lone had managed to succeed in a ploy to trap Janus within a powerful mirror dimension. Anis grav usurped power and went on a rampage destroying Nearly all of Edin trying to find Janus."
-

05> Aim for the heart.
(lone revived, lost in the mountains of kenai, meets an angelic huntress named Hecariël.)

This is.. Eden kenai, no mistake about it.

Lone said to himself as he rose up from the reasonably uncomfortable rocky soil from what felt to have been a very long sleep..
But it had changed, as the skies breathed a different air and no longer remained Eden's grassy smell.
Then a group of local wildlife sprung and ran past the meadow below.
A hunter had been spotted, and revealed itself to the wind.. but as the hunter turned its senses toward his location; Lone noticed this was no ordinary person.
In the tall dead grass stood a figure of beauty, engulfing Lone with powerful radiance. An angel with the purest golden hair garbed with a cloth that seemlessly formed into soft snow white wings no larger than a small bird's.

As much as Lone was frozen in his gaze on her, she too remained still as if time had locked and would not release unless they moved but toward eachother.

Down the slope of mountain kenai Lone had walked to her guided by fate.

She was his dear old friend; Hecariël, the daughter of Ezekiel who had fled from Hura during the angelic war..
She explained Her people's current situation, namely that their planet had fallen to the struggle (for power between two ancient factions and a group of rebels from both that after the fall of the mystic's reign (Eluiscer) were released and fighting over the Denimus.
There was the faction of 'An ruerim' the highest authority on law, spearheaded by 'Uriel-Boriel' a powerful angelic army commander.. and Nebuchadnezzar Underworlds escapee backed by his son and a army of sympathisants. Then the faction of Janus the authority of portals and gateways that had claimed rights to the throne on terms of An ruerim's bad judgement wich he personally perpetuated impersonating him toppled it alltogether.
Lone was not unfamiliar to these tales but knew the truth as he personally had not only fought for the release of Nebuchadnezzar in underworld, Hura's most well guarded prison.. but had personally seen to it Janus was trapped in a magical maze called the garden of infinity. \TTC-underworld aftermath)
That Anis grav, Underworld's final victim.. however.. was still alive and had taken up on Janus's ambition was new to Lone.
From Lone's own memory, Janus had seen Nebuchadnezzars escape from underworld as An ruerim being weak and thus not fit for rule, however Anis grav was but Barheire's (underworlds warden) guard..
What could still move Anis grav to fight?..still revenge? had Hura truly been destroyed completely?
Or would he only come to Edin for the sake of finding Janus as his new master..

Lone was left with more questions than answers, thus agreed to follow Hecariël to Ter Amok, Eden's abandoned border village where Ezekiel; now the leader of the refugees' had settled.

-

06> Pause to elegy.
(at a church lone speaks to Ezegiel, who fights Anis grav whom together with Sam somam, Sasariël, Esys and Curu behi ravages Edin and with it An ruerim's angelic remnants trying to find Janus)

-

And so Lone and Hecariël had entered Ter Amok's Church in Eden where Hecariël's father Ezegiel; one of An ruerim's bloodline and leader of Hura's refugees' resided.

~Ezegiel: "Lone, it has been such a long time.. i hope you dont mind we have taken home here"
~Lone: "Definately not, the world seems much different and not only to the eye.. but i thought Hura was safe from Janus.. what ..happened?"
Hecariël sat closer to lone, and held his arm in comfort..
~Ezegiel: "I see you two still feel the same"
~Lone: "Forgive me, is it true about Anis grav?"
Ezegiel turned his head to the church's ceiling where a grand painting dorned showing the history of Edin..
"There used to be great demons on this world in ancient times were they not"
Lone nodded slightly..
~Ezegiel: "We have come here not to escape Anis his judgement, he came here before us"
Lone couldn't shrug this off and interrupted Ezegiel.. "So he does search for the garden of infinity.. He does aim to find Janus.. but why"
Ezegiel shook his head "Anis grav would never find him on Hura, but he has found a man who can"
~Lone: "What?!"
~Ezegiel: "Not long ago there was a great fire in the north, it ravaged the land.. we have even lost contact with the rest, and suspect *Odyses may need our aid in the north..(*one of the most powerful buisinessmen under An ruerim)
However there is no way to reach him with both Anis grav and his ..friend.. killing everyone in sight..
~Lone: "Who is this man... what is his motive"
Ezegiel looked at hecariël "I want you two to approach their last known proximity from the mountains, do not get spotted" Then looked back to Lone.. "I too wish to know."
"After that, i believe we need to regain contact with Odyses before anything else"

Lone nodded oncemore.. "I have to agree, Anis grav alone is to dangerous,.. "

And so Lone and Hecariël now together setted off toward the mountain path, intending to eavesdrop on Anis grav and his new 'friend.
Whatever happened, Lone could not risk Anis grav ever finding out Janus's location.

07> No more practice.
(Lone takes Hecariël with him to eavesdrop on Anis grav, however Anis grav is spotted meeting with a mystery man called Aenimcea, Lone learns of Aenimcea's plan to destroy the barriers between all dimensions using the God-Denimus he has found in Emper.)

Hecariël and Lone had taken position in a crevice on lower mount kenai, Ezegiel had been right.. below in a corner meadow hidden from the main farsight a camp had been built with its fire still burning.
Without a doubt whoever had taken position here, did not want to be bothered by the Hura refugee's in the area.
"What if Odyses could not contact us because of them" Worried Hecariël arcing slightly toward Lone. "Do you think he could have.. been killed?"

Lone shook his head.. "Its no more than two.. maybe three men" "You can see it by the size of the tent" "Odyses was a man of power, he would not allow himself to be fragile.. he will have guards.. three men wont get to him"
He had to be right, the tent did seem to small for a large group...

Suddenly two figures moved toward the meadow from the mountain path, Hecariël and Lone could but hide behind the rocks just in time.
"th..those arent our people" whispered Hecariël, "one of them didn't even look like..."

"ARE YOU PRESENT?" One of the figures called out toward the tent down below..
Emediately it was answered by another figure that came out of the tent to welcome.

"Thats not him" whispered Lone unhesitated "but i know that man aswell, ive seen him before in Hura"
"Really?" Hecariël whispered back.. "What do you think he's doing here"

Below, finally the second figure that had come from the mountain path showed itself properly.. it was definately a machine..
"Keep it outside" emitted a voice from the tent, admonishing said machine.

The other figure now came into better view aswell, his hair glistened like dark gold, his skin seemed to be as hot as a smithery.
"COME OUT" said he, refusing to enter the tent himself.

Then as Lone had expected he finally showed himself, it was without a single doubt..

Anis grav.  He had the same posture, and the same clothing.. the only thing different about him was him wearing a EV-helmet for reasons unknown, but his face was visible even still.
Behind Anis appeared another figure, just as doubtless.. the dark warden of the underworld gate 'Sasariël"
How.. how could both of them have survived, and why where they on Edin, surely it was a waste of time to look for Janus's prison here.

"Its not like i have a choice" hissed Anis toward the steaming figure.. "I need you"

The hot skinned figure seemed uninpressed, perhaps he did not feel the same.. but calmly answerred.
"There are two unearthed locations of wich one has been lost, the other is where i obviously personally head, i care not a bit about your master but it is the only road directly to him"

Lone could not believe his ears.. A road directly to Janus? Did he actually mean that?

"But" The hotskin continued. "Whatever ruined the first location, may ruin the second.. i need the assurance that wont happen, i need anything that can intervene to be kept at bay"

Anis nodded. "I will lay waste to everything in the area if that ensures my share"

Lone had heard enough, there was no time.. he had to hurry back to Ezegiel and share what they had learned.
Somehow Anis grav had found a way in this new associate of his to find Janus, and they had made an alliance to manifest it.
But what about the other man he had seen before in Hura?, the monk. ..his name.. was Sam somam.
-

-

08> Here we burned cold. (Hecariël has dissapeared after reporting back to Ezegiel, Then Ezegiels church is burned to the ground by Aenimcea and Curu behi. Lone barely escapes. Now on his own Lone decides to search for his old comrades (TTCHG) for help.)

Lone had only just returned to Ter amok's church where Ezegiel was waiting for news, Hecariël had gone ahead a few minutes.
However Lone would find the church completely deserted.

'This wasnt the plan' Lone thought to himself looking for signs of life, even Hecariël was nowhere to be found.

The air seemed to get thicker, by now Lone was sweating still checking the upper corridor of the church.. what was going on..
His feet started to sink into the wooden floor almost every step, there was something going on downstairs..

Back at the stairs it was clear, the church was on fire.. quickly Lone kicked in the back door and walked around the crumbling building to halt just in time.
Past the corner stood the mechanical figure Lone had seen before on the meadow.

Up close he could now discern it to be feminine..even though bald, out of its chest arced two axe like blades.. it was a walking bear trap..
Then his observations were halted as Lone heard a voice he recogniced as the Hot skinned man..

"He would have overlooked this town, and this...local leader" "but i did not" he admitted. "He is so careless, ..while useful still"

'they must be talking about Ezegiel" knew lone.. 'they killed him..?"

"w.h.a.t  a.b.o.u.t  t.h.e.  ...f.r.i.e.n.d." commented the mechanical figure stuttering.

For a moment lone held his breath fearing that hecariël..had...

"Behi, do not concern yourself with him anymore, he will too be useful soon enough" The hotskin replied whilst walking off..

'What friend' Lone pondered 'The monk?" ..
There was no trace of Hecariël anywhere..gladly,..and in the church ..no.. not possible either, he had looked everywhere..
'The hotskin has not harmed her.." .."Perhaps she escaped before i got here, perhaps she traveled to her kin in the north"

And thus Lone hurried himself out of Ter amok.
 Looking back from its edges more and more signs of fire rose into the sky, he had gotten out just in time.
Only the desert of Owls before him, but the times had changed it into a swamp.. and he had to find a sign of life in it.. ..Hecariëls.

-

09> Bigger than us. (Lone locates Odyses and meets with him, then is directed to the most northern range of the map to find Hecariël)

It had taken him but three days in the swamp, now finally.. exhausted Lone threaded upon a building drenched in gold alike a holy treasure at the depths of the sea.
On the inexpensive plate above the gate dorned the words "Alae a fortuna" and underneath it between the doors of entrance stood a statue that Lone could emediately recognice as Odysis.
He had found the one he had been looking for, the other survivors of An ruerim's fall from power.
-
Only just inside he was emediately greeted by Odysis in person who also had noticed a old friend in Lone.

"See, how luck reunites us all" He said in embrace laughing.

"What is this place, how can this building exist in the swamp Odysis" queried Lone..
~
"This is a sanctuary not for those who seek luck, but those who have it, this is for the wealthy and the skillful..those bigger than the ordinary.. A safe haven for those who have traveled to deserve it"
Odysis replied..

Lone thought of these words as odd at the least, but Odysis never was a man who remained on soil, he was the most powerful celestial next to An ruerim and Uriel Boriel themselves.
A entity that covered buisiness and diplomacy all over the new Hura.  .. However this place stood out, its interior was gigantic and tremendously decorated with the most rare metals.
Then on top it was suited to host hundreds if not thousands as it had level upon level with rooms deeper and deeper down. Had Odysis built this to settle?.. was he not even looking for his kin himself?
He had to ask..

"Were you aware of Ezegiel's faction, did you have contact with them at all? Lone could not help but ask.
-
Odysis grew a much worried look on his face and put his arm around Lone to comfort.
"ah... yes.. i believe so, how do they fare, are they well?"
-
"No.. they arent..i thought they were here.." was Lone's response slightly stuttered..as his breathing felt cut short in worry..
"They talked nothing but about meeting up with you, they had to have come here"

-
Odysis sighed.. "I told you only this place is for the lucky, although..."

"Although?" ~Lone wondered..

"Although i did hear word about one of our kind in the north, a girl.. but the north is now frozen"...Odysis explained "It is to cold to survive for our kin"

-

She had to have missed this place.. it had to be her.. Hecariël...

Lone turned around back to the entrance..
"Odysis, i will find her.. thank you"

There was little time, the north was frozen, and no celestial ever knew such temperatures.
-

As Lone left the golden hold.. Odysis smiled.

-

10> Prepared to the end. (Lone is ambushed by Curu behi but suddenly an old friend joins the fight and they shut Curu behi down, forgood)

-

The north Odysis said, he said it would be frozen.. but this was no snow.. this was ash.. regardless of the chilly temperature.. so this fire had burned long ago..
Lone remembered Ezegiel's words of the great fire in the north, had Odysis lied to him? But why....
Underneath the endless heaps of white ash Lone attempted to touch for bodies..but could only feel rubble.. untill amongst the rubble rose a thing he had seen before..
It was the creature he had seen before together with the hotskinned man.

"T..a.r.g.e.t.....f.o.u.n.d." the robotic voice rattled as its mechanisms stood itself up..

"W..what, Lone coughed waving the ashes away from him' "why would you be programmed against me.."

"P..r.o..t.o.c.ol.. 21.." The apparatus replied. "E.l.i.m.i.n.a.t.e... ..o.b.j.e.c.t.i.n.g...l.i.f.e.f..o..r.m.. n..6..5...5..6.. , m..u..s.t... n..o.t ...a..l.l.o.w..."

"Allow what??!, lone coughed trying to reason with the machine to gain information"

The robotic creature continued as it started to arm itself.. "u..n..i..t.. ..c..u..r..u.    b..e..h.i...    P..r.o..t.o.c.ol.. 29..79...." "D..e..n..i..m..u..s....o..n ...t..h..e. d..a..y... i..t.s..... n..i..g..h..t..." "p..r.e..v.e..n.t.., o..b..s.t.a..c..l..e..s."

The day its night? What could that mean, did this have to do with what Ezegiel had said about the alliance between Anis grav and the hotskinned man.. could they be plotting to use the last Denimus device..
But surely not merely to find Janus, the hotskinned man must have had a different reason if he programmed a machine to hunt down all opposition..

"e..x..e.c..u.t..i.n..g...  e.l..i.m.i.n..a.t.i.o.n... o..f..  o..b..j..e.c.t.i..n.g. .l i...f..e.f..o.rm.." the robotic creature emitted once more as it dragged its now noticable partially broken legs toward Lone..

But as thunderstruck Lone stood paralysed as a shadow moved from behind him and with a massive cut severed the robotic creatures head, then gracefully moved to plant its sword in the creatures chest.
"Apparently one survived, sorry about that" The figure clothed in black rags said casually as he turned toward lone, but they both now stood paralysed as they gazed into eachothers eyes..

"I..cant.. believe what im seeing, is that really you" Lone spoke trembling.. "How are you still alive..after all this time"
"Likewise" Said the shadowy figure as he came closer. "I thought you... disappeared.. that day.."

"Sidel.." Lone whispered under his breath.. "I was .... i did.. the Denimus.. they brought me to Hura.." "I didnt know how to get back, but its been hundreds of years, it was another time.., the Denimus.. it distorted the timezone.."
"What happened to you.."

Sidel sat down beside the robot he had shutted down.. and explained..
"My father, he blamed me for everything that happened, even the war between Evrae kseres and ..Eden.., and its true.. i told him i would commit my own banishment as penance"
"I .. used the Denimus to .. disappear.." "If it had not been for me.."

"What are you talking about " Interrupted Lone.. "It wasnt you.. you could not have prevented the Denimus, or understood it.. It goes back way more than that, i learned that on Hura..
It was never in the hands of Edin, it was never in the hands of us.., we were overwhelmed.. "

"But ive changed" Sidel replied.. "It is to late, if i had not left Trine..in the first place.. i would not have the guilt of the deaths of its hope.."
"Yes ive changed, in Hybernaculuum" "theres no way back"

"But theres a way forward" insisted Lone.. "Afterall you're here.. and what for?"

Sidel looked up and slightly smiled as the feeling of hope returned in his eyes.. "Now that i met you again, i believe there is a way forward yes..
The reason i was here.. is because there is another of us that must have survived the wearing of time.. and i wanted to find him"

"Evrae kseres" Sidel and lone called out in unison.
-

And so they setted out together in search of Evrae, but what of Hecariël.. and why did Odysis lie to Lone about the north at all, had Odysis known about the hotskinned man's robot?
Was it treason?
-

Uploading Astraea OST.

If all goes well in the real lifes from now on, because ive been through a VERY tough time.. i might get busy again with projects. Lets pray.

-

p.s. Im still no longer hireable from my newgrounds position sorry, only taking projects from trusted clients and people who's project interest me. So please dont send me any project requests, not even if you're a so called big fish in the buisiness. I have no interest in it. -Cal.

Sorry to say this but i have retired my hireabillity as videogame music composer for newgrounds projects due to both personal reasons and experience in the scene, i have no hard feelings nor regrets but its just too stressful a trade for me to continue.

I therefor shall no longer accept any clients, newgrounds licences still stands, however do please send me a message when you want to use a specific piece both so i know, its respectful to ask' and some tracks are off limits (if they are i tend to set them to 'may not be used by anyone' as the newgrounds option grants' but this option wasnt always there and i cant be arsed to edit every single ost track ive uploaded.

In the near future ill be uploading some finished works ive made in my final period but some are a bit unrefined. Then again i dont upload it to get anything out of it as i never had that ambition. The only reason i ever went into buisiness with my music was because i felt my work needed larger worlds to see their potential.. a bit as how i always created stories around it myself, i wanted to see them in living enviroments. Thats all.

Now what remains of my music here is just a phase of my life where i translated parts of myself or often just served as a catalyst for some sort of universal logic, wouldnt have it any other way. Thanks for listening.

Edit: there might actually be something in the future for a client who's making a game for ps4 atm, i already got the aye for making the ost but have only started some tryouts so far in FLstsudio to find the right sound.

Edit: Got 4 tracks done for the OST for a new ps4/steam etc game, 9 to go. :)

-Calamaistr.

So, now that im done with uploading practically the complete OST for Spaceport hope, i can continue with EGEO II.

Something i have put in the fridge since, i also had not written the story further but have sat down today to create the plot (its a bit like building a puzzle, and the space inbetween will be filled with discord to the reader to elude them from it untill it is given away. (take notes if youre a starting writer there, ;) )

Here is a decent prologue i have written to a youtube video in wich i recorded the process of inspiration pre-composing a new piece in this case for EGEO II and with it the video.

--------------

EGEO II, as it sounds is the sequel to EGEO, a dark medieval story about guilds and giants (you can read it along the music on newgrounds), this second edition is about Almes, a veteran knight with a depression who walks the city.. constantly tailed by a streetkid that once tried to pickpocket him called 'Tertiar, at the same time murders happen in the city and a comissioner is sent to find the killer that has been dubbed "the medal killer". Sent by the city's council (namely Miror acer, read EGEO I to understand) the Comissioner named Pare is overzealous in trying to catch the killer, resorting even to having Almes assist him.. But is he right? The council thinks not, as chaos ensues and a child (Tertiar) goes missing the council retracts his position and sends an envoy to relieve him of it; Miror acer agent "rosara", who has volunteered. However her motives seem to be shady.

Who is the medal killer, could it have been Tertiar the streetkid?
could it have been Almes the vagabond with a dark past suffering in solitude?  Could it be Rosara the miror acer agent who seems a bit too keen in her volunteering? Could it have been comissioner Pare who overzealously made a mess in the city? Could it have been miror acer itself?   This, you will learn in EGEO II.

It is in dutch because im tired of speaking english, probably wont ever record myself in english again.

Dw, ill still write in english.

-Cal.

Some of you youngsters and oldsters might have noticed already that Spaceport hope is now on steam.

Seeing as i am the OST - creator for that game i have began to upload the music to newgrounds, this will take quite a while since theres a fair amount of music in that game.

I have gone out of my comfort zone with the style of this album, its not 8bit, its not even hybrid or counterpoint (atleast not as its core) Alot of the music was created by simplicity from actual guitar play combined with alot of thematical atmosphere respective to each area it was composed for, combined with a whiff of melodical perpetuum.

Atleast thats what it feels like, these tracks built themselves as i touched them.

Thank you for your interest and feel free to ask me anything.

-Cal.

Thanks for listening. -cal

Lets for a moment ignore my medical situation and read about my latest project:

EGEO II.

If you liked EGEO, you will love EGEO II.

Why? Because it continues in the same fasion, both in story and in music genre.

This story will focus on the built like an ox, heroic but tragic character 'Almes', and follow him through a series of events that will shake the world into a chain reaction that in the end will make everything illuminated like a finished puzzle. It will be set in the same world and even city that EGEO was set in, however another timezone (many years (read atleast 40) after EGEO) it will also feature more insight in the history of the city and its people.

One thing i can promise is that the story will make an impact on the way you percieve desires and what they mean to your persona.

Afterall, EGEO literally translates to 'to want'.

Edit: Started on Egeo II.

Edit: Finally getting an MRI the 23rd of august. Still long way but atleast its hope. Jaw is on and off, also have lots of back neck and shoulder problems lately, all my bones creak and crackle, i hope its not a global muscle affliction.

Right now i am not sure how my life is going to be, it is difficult to put to words the kind of 'treatment' i can expect for my jaw, tendons and muscles affliction, certain types of fysiotherapy have been suggested (have gone through that before so nothing new threre) but it is much too soon to be sure if its not something else afterall, i will try my best to keep my posture physically, to get better.. but perhaps it is in vain, this might sound like it turns out its not that bad afterall but that presumption would be dead wrong, my hurt is in no way reduced and obstructs my daily life greatly, let alone my mental coping.

Funny how the themes of my music hit me in the face, as it is my want' strongly (egeo) to attain a life of health.. yet are met with the same struggles as my characters, to not know if that want is my friend or my foe. Is my want too much? Regardless of it in comparisan to the want of the general public being quite small..  should i want just for the gift of waking up in a house with plentiful food and a world around me that is at this point relatively peaceful. (lets not go into the depths of what about it isnt)

I dont know, im cursed with the want to create order in chaos at the very least.

And right now i want nothing more than to live and continue to make music, and make worlds, in my mind books have been written i would want to put to music, the final book of The time crafter for instance, as a polar opposite to Night named "Day" telling of the heir to Trine and daughter of Selen, Lone's final return and inevitable death that has not been put to thought yet but closing in on. The return of Uume (TTC mozaic) and Ega (TTChegenero), the onslaught of Hura's remaining sages Metameci and Mijudes upon Edin. And even the ressurection of buhishin and all its tentacles (at once) (being Atadema, Herui marm, Gibren ánd Osega) also creating a fifth tentacle that because of its power withstands the enslaving aspect of the transformation making him the most powerful antagonist in the series yet.

In the final story i have chosen not to make a puzzle out of who the antagonist is, i can even safely spoil that it is Metameci without it damaging the story. The only part of the story that will be the familiar puzzle that comes together in the end is why. And how it relates back to the older books, i mean.. in the conclusion of TTC night it is explained how Sam somam (pronounced as sang soam, just for the record) is the absolute antagonist of the first five books being linked to most determined events. In TTC day it would explain what truly happened in the age of Diades and Eken's childhood when Ega supposedly (yes supposedly) ravaged Hura, and why Hura was ravaged back then)

Ok, Enough about TTC now.

I dont know if i will have it in me to put music to this, to be honest i would love to make the music like i did Egeo, part chiptune part hifi, but its just a want, just.. an Egeo.. now.

In real life im overwhelmed by alot of sentiments, both my condition and current afairs, my countries problems, things i experience in everyday life with people in my city being more and more asocial and mannerless, there is more and more poverty and decay of positivity appart from the silence of nature, an ever increasing illusion of inadequacy surrounds me speaking of powerlessness. The world upside down on the tv.  inanis orbis oncemore. And here i remain a storyteller imprisoned inbetween, troubled, haunted.

Hello guys, i have some bad news.

First off, im going to some health issues irl that arent looking good right now, tomorrow an appointment that might decide wether i live or not, tbh this has been going on for atleast 3-4 years gradually getting worse but i never really spoke about it because i tried to stay positive.

I felt i had to release the soundtrack for the soviet project on youtube (game that got fridged due to reasons that are personal so i wont name them), releasing it on newgrounds would be too much of a hassle especially since i live in great uncertainty right now, i cant think ahead and just upload 2 tracks a day having 30ish tracks see. So i chose to do it on youtube and not on newgrounds, ill still provide you guys with the link.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWBBu6q99Q4

Also, i finished the soundtrack on Starport hope, the upcoming steam game from the same client.

I couldnt make a final boss track however, im just burned out completely because of my health..so there wont be a final boss track in the game, but dont worry.. the soundtrack is fine without one.

Anyway look my treasured client up on newgrounds and tell him hes awesome, hes such a vibrant graphic artists and deserves much love.  http://minotaur.newgrounds.com/

As for the future of "calamaistr".. i cant say anything, many things go through my mind and ive gone from very emotional days to confusion, rage and even suicidal episodes.. Even if i somehow get the right treatment and get better again im unlikely to return to composing, im more likely to start jogging and traveling because life is far to precious to spend behind a monitor. The world has become quite claustrophobic ..

Thanks to everyone who has been kind to me.

-daniel.

edit 17-6-15: appointment in hospital across country again today, still no treatment but this is my last chance.

Chose to upload a few of the best music of the canceled sov game here on newgrounds because i felt it was a shame if they were never heard.  Im tired of my situation and am really at my wits end now.

-daniel.

So hi, cal here. (obviously, why would anyone else make a news post on my channel)

Just wanted to let you guys know what the buisiness is;

Currently im working for a treasured client (minotaur, on newgrounds) and his steam project wich will be a vibrant videogame'.

This is the reason i am currently not hireable for other people's projects.

However you are free to pm me if you want to use one of my existing uploads with exception of the egeo album or music specifically made for and thus linked to another videogame on ng such as jetpack paladin or wilt.

For licences also pm me here on newgrounds, i use this as my main hub as i do not own a personal site. (yet)

*Feel free to comment on this page if you want to tell me something off-topic.

The pentalogy (that means five part) album The machine that was first featured on Newgrounds has now made it to Youtube.

Because of character limit there here is the full opera text in two parts for those who want to experience it to the fullest!

---- ---- ----

Part two:

COTMC:

Call of the machine - 1 - The message.

0:00
In the winter of our sin, we left one part remain, to..one goal.. to reach out to your time.
In but six days you will see; he who has come to lay waste to your structures of' mind by such signs you will first all decline.

00:41
They are truths you will.. recognice, you will find in the depths of your mind (and your soul) (and it) and will grow (and your soul will grow), to the world, the world as it was till the wars had passed will not be. So will we.

1:20
))E~piphane~ia soter.., pitho e~ishis e~aleth, øx~olethron((

Hear my codex, my message to all; this time we save you for real.

Call of the machine - 2 - Lines.

00:10
Here, i, speak; im from a world that never was..but im no ghost, im lines youll find in books.. hidden away, lines aimed at the sea, Hands ive thrown to the sky to the high ones that have all died.
Never have lived at all, per..haps.

00:36
Here, destiny... The past here, all that hasn't even been.. all on my mind, my plight.. to rewrite the world, 'Only if everyones bothered at all to hear me out.

-

Call of the machine - 3 - with a stand.

You With a stand i would regret, have to inform you what you met.
A scarlet field or empty ground, Into the past your dream had stalled itself.

Squeezed into a stack of green, a pot of gold just past the line you had drawn into, a trojan horse; surrounds you.
You have came to be a proxy..

You mannequin.. made through years pretending unknowing.

Who pulls your strings, through and round the mob that would hold your name these days.

As feathers lost from the vultures over and into the wind from their gown, you're swirling all down and eaten by.. bald grebes waiting in line.
Balance, a wonderous thing, your brilliant revolution would not change anything, necessity rings to put in place your avery, isn't that what you've seen.

-

Call of the machine - 4 - enter the next window.

End of time, Present died, Look no more, There remains none.
Touch cold fire, breathing in dust once a river, running through the heart of your house.. though worn, here is the handle. You've burnt it, burnt it, burnt it.
End of your..Soul, in its window.. where you reached all the edges to find out its closed, closed to the world though left open to one; she was the moon, we were her fool,
We were her dying glory..  Then came along; from the suns rays into the glass framed around the living and it breaks the shade that supported all that would remain.
And beyond we turned anew.

-

Call of the machine - 5 - Lebenslust.

(Mmm, in the moment) In we breathe alone though, a waterfall.. of stars in (of stars on) every mind (every time) would we exchange in sound together, oh.. in the gaze we concentrate.
And the tick, (Untill the windup) he noticed. (Till it breaks)))) Changing its place with what we all have percieved as death could set the stage anew,
And you will .. You will be strong as long as purpose is your guardian angel. (It will heal)
You will make the exchange the world had slept under and wake to hear your spoken word in the advent; the day the browser was born.

-

Call of the machine - 6 - the masked men.

00:00
See them stand where they are, mere cloth clad but theyre armed, and without a face a flag or side to par.
And all will tell you that they have forseen none.
Hear them march, the capital, so loyal and such courage,..they were the savior of.. all, they will be butchers now.
-
00:48

There are no bars.. but flames they sprung, there are no sounds but from the guns in every little town..
And would none stand in blaze the embers hit hay anyway. In everglade..the bodies stack in endless track)))
Then came the solution against, against.. the masked men.

01:37

Just one, one file about all, file about all to stop the fall.
Drawn, drawn upon the walls above the ones decayed no face no flag no side.. no name.
No side.. no name; will stand out to the browser.

-

Call of the machine - 7 - morse heartbeat.
Dont, worry about your darkest future.. stray way from the single road you'd try...
And no matter how deep, your life has to sink, it gives off light..gives off light, to the lines.. you're in our sight..

-

Call of the machine - 8 - go back and you'll die. (ending)

Lines might have failed, as no heed was payed to the recordings, and though its call had faded into the timeline..
Atleast it had ensured the browser could never reach its potential nor purpose..

Afterall, the humans were not the only ones with the abillity to listen, so proved the machine.

And now in both directions; past and future, regardless of the unpreventable destruction.. signalled on lines final message:
"All will be here."

-

YOTMC:

Year of the machine - 1 - the stars lt1415

A man in a dream, another man's dream.
A sky clear of stars, the ground is rotten.

Run through their walls, break all their new bars..

Be the new star, and the dream is yours friend.

-

A man in a dream, other man's dream.
Share of a talent rare as sunshine at night..
But a star bends the light, brought from afar.. its kind,
Had broken the bars, just to read you these lines.

-

Year of the machine - 2 - the joined lt1415

One day, by sheer suprise, the global grid hologram started to give away its existence.

Mankind as it was now on the planet of the machine oblivious to this fact previously; turned their heads towards the sky to witness a rare event.
Lines, the machine's cuddly messenger of the previous exodus spoke to them clearly a truth it had reserved for the right moment in time:

00:27
"All will be here, we said and i look upon you; the proof..
A world so full of potential though you prove so shocked when standing,..in vista your world compiles as now a joining gathered from a history undone.

And more is yet to come, a sight behold we bring this year, of the machine."

-

Year of the machine - 3 - Eno lt1415

0:00 Eno: You've been made waiting for me to attend.
People of terra, this will be your year.

I've seen infinite time.. ive, built my.. sweet lines; understand it was time to appear.

00:30 Chance i give is you to live with all be knowns all unknowns of our true home.
00:38 For one year i do ensure that, you'll all known all that i know..all that i remember still..
00:48 Feel... the machines how they feel and we fell and they felt and they came and they helped..

Look at us now.. look at us now..

1:01 TMC: Your' world was rend, did it end.. it did end again when we were made yet oncemore.. for a war on the mind..
As we lit up the skies, heard ......cries of a friend..
1:23 Then a time past all time.. he made peace to our kind. (lines he made, years beyond, light to be signs)
1:32 Came to his aid, came to your aid. (send back to find..) Will be there.. will be there.. (we were there for the time of your fall) will be there.. (we were ensured for your lines had told) will be there..
1:47 All will be there to bring you all here..   now you know and you'll choose if you'll know after the year..,  after the year..
One year you'll know and then you may choose if you go on to remember it all.

----------------------------
Eno, the sage of the ages had finally chosen to appear and give mankind the gift of knowing their past of having been brought to terra by the machine to survive the destruction caused by the wars on their home planet.
Now mankind had ne year to know the same Eno had known in his choice not to merge with mankind so the worth of their survival was not lost. Any and all that could not bear it were free to choose to forget after the year of the machine.
One year Eno would live among the people, his creation 'lines' had not been in vain.

Someday perhaps all would understand..
Perhaps the war could have never been prevented..  
All Eno had wanted was to be saved as he and his kind fell.. and had materialised a will..
Conciousness within time and space had resonated with this will and allowed a super reality in wich lines animated this will into the collective of the machine.
Eno.. a man within a dream, sage of the ages, a morse heartbeat.

-

Year of the machine - 4 - all yes lt1415

Time was but a thought to Eno who had existed beyond time and the world together with the mind of the machine, to honor the memory of the death of his home planet.
Lines came before him and beckoned.
Mankind, Eno's ..children.. had lived a year of knowing their past and now had the choice to retain it for the remainder of their lifes.. or go back to knowing just the world of today.
-

1:03 Lines: The year had passed, mankind voiced their joint choice.
1:14 Mankind: Now the world we lived in the time before, will..
1:25 Be every day, every night fore a star..
1:35 Lines: For the choice that they made reunites one adored by all.
1:46 Mankind: Eno, you kind soul, do join with us now and live on in the world where we know.

Eno, no longer had to remain with the mind of the machine, he could finally ..finally live again, to him 'his people of terra had given him an even bigger gift than he had them.
The last man on earth.

-

Year of the machine - 5 - the tape runs out lt1415

And that was how it all happened, Eno was .. after such a long journey from the deserts of his old earth, his fall and rescue, his creating of me;.. lines.., with it the attempt to prevent the war instigated by the security browser..
the choice To stay with the machine.. never to forget what he and the people of old earth had lost.. and finally.. giving these people the fair choice to decide knowing for themselves..

In the end, The people had decided Eno had brought such a sacrifice for them, the only right choice was the unanimous yes to the knowing and with it give Eno the chance to live amongst them as an equal oncemore.

And so it was that Eno in alliance with the machine, once just one man lost in the desert.. rescued mankind and gave it a place on Terra.

And now i ..Lines.. must shut down, afterall Eno has programmed me simply to convey this message on to all people of Terra. For your timezone, this is it.

*The tape..runs..out.*
